It's becoming more and more common to see fireworks when a Liga MX team scores. You see the ball going into the net and milliseconds later, boom! Someone pops a couple of rockets behind the goal and enhances the show.
On Saturday, however, in TWO DIFFERENT GAMES, the person in charge of the pyrotechnics was too eager to celebrate and ended up bringing the fireworks on occasions in which there were no goals at all.
Oops!
Rodri was named Man of the Match for his dominate midfield display, including one headed goal, in Manchester City's 3-1 beatdown of Aston Villa on Sunday, but winger Riyad Mahrez was certainly a close second. The Algerian provided for Rodri from a corner kick, and then he scored City's third from the penalty spot.
Mahrez probably would've won the game's individual honor if he would've finished a second opportunity in the 84th minute. Instead, with just Emiliano Martínez to beat, Mahrez spooned an effort wildly over from eight yards out.
Gignac, siempre a Gignac.
Él es la respuesta, él es la luz.
En una semana de orgullo herido ante el repentino abandono de Diego Cocca para tomar las riendas de la Selección Mexicana, André-Pierre Gignac arropó a sus tropas con un doblete que sirvió para vencer a Pumas por 4-2 y para decirle a toda la familia felina que todo va estar bien.
Los aficionados del Cruz Azul sufren con uno de los peores inicios ligueros en su reciente historia y un rumor que pone a Pirma como la nueva marca del club los ha hecho perder completamente la fe en el equipo.
La informaciones de que Pirma será el nuevo patrocinador de La Máquina a partir de la temporada 2023-24 comienzan a consolidarse en redes sociales, lo que pondría fin a la relación de cinco años que los celestes han tenido con la española Joma.
Una vez que Diego Cocca comenzó a ser anunciado a los cuatro vientos como el próximo entrenador de la Selección Mexicana, varios aficionados del fútbol mexicano comentaron en redes sociales que la llegada del argentino al Tri tenía su origen en un evento random ocurrido hace casi dos años: una alineación indebida de Federico Viñas en un duelo de Liga MX entre Club América y Atlas.
Wrexham's Cinderella journey through the FA Cup ended cruelly Tuesday with a missed penalty and goals conceded in the 94th and 96th minutes to Sheffield United. But the bigger story was Sheffield United captain Billy Sharp becoming the first person to openly admit a genuine dislike for Wrexham and its FX television series.
La Liga MX, como muchos sabemos, no es como la mayoría de las ligas alrededor del mundo. Sus constantes polémicas, malos manejos, formatos, momentos chuscos y a veces hasta vergonzosos, en muchas ocasiones, dejan bastante que desear.
Sin embargo, si hay algo bueno que siempre la ha caracterizado, eso es la particularidad de sus playeras.
Los colores vibrantes, los estampados de sus patrocinadores y una serie de jerseys conmemorativos hacen incluso que las vestimentas de los equipos mexicanos estén, año tras año, entre las mejores del mundo.

Arturo Vidal is the kind of player that always wants to be on the field. So, being a benchwarmer on a star-studded Flamengo team is starting to rot his veins. That was more than evident on Wednesday night when, after learning he would not be subbing in, Vidal threw a tantrum that has now him at a crossroads with Flamengo's fans and the media.
Playing soccer at 11 a.m. in 90°F heat doesn't sound fun. But that was the luck of Atletico Mineiro last weekend during a hard-earned 2-1 victory over Tombense in the Campeonato Mineiro.
It was so hot and humid that Brazilian star Hulk – who scored one of the goals and got one assist – claims he sweated so much during the game that he lost 13 pounds.
Hulk has proof of the dramatic weight loss since he decided to weigh himself before and after the game.
