Muchas veces se le ha criticado a Lionel Messi una supuesta falta de carácter a la hora de liderar a la selección de Argentina. La idea se ha repetido por años y la ausencia de títulos de la Albiceleste la ha ido perpetuando.
The Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) is the forgotten child of the soccer world. The only time fans really hear about the OFC is when it sends New Zealand to a World Cup qualifying playoff that it loses nine times out of ten, or the Oceania team that gets sent to the Confederations Cup.
Anyone else remember when poor Tahiti was forced to play Spain, Uruguay and Nigeria at the 2013 Confederations Cup? It takes a special team to finish with a -23 goal differential after three games.
France and Barcelona stars Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembélé are facing hefty criticism after videos were leaked of the two players mocking Japanese workers and making a racist remark.

El Puebla anunció la contratación del delantero venezolano Fernando Aristeguieta, proveniente del Mazatlán FC. La llegada del Colorado es para sustituir la baja del ahora internacional peruano Santiago Ormeño, quien se marchó al León.
La presentación del jugador, por cierto, fue maravillosa. La Franja subió un video a sus redes sociales y que a muchos seguro les recordó la serie Vikings de Netflix. Obviamente, nada es al azar: uno de los apodos de Aristeguieta es El Vikingo.
While the Euros roll on through the knockout rounds, we have plenty of wild fan interactions already. From fans showing up to support their team in the wrong country to pitch invaders wielding rainbow flags, anything goes as fans are enjoying their time back. Football fans were kept from stadiums and fully supporting their teams for over a year by the Covid-19 pandemic, diminished to yelling at screens instead of faces, so we wouldn't expect anything less extravagant than what has been happening. Let's take a look at the best Euro 2020 fans so far.
This Spain own goal vs Croatia is going to go down as the craziest mistake of Euro 2020.
Spain had their metaphorical hand snatched on Croatia’s scruff for the opening 20 minutes of Monday’s Round of 16 clash. Sitting in almost total control, the only worry for Spain was a Croatia counterattack. Or so they thought.
If someone watching the game looked away for a split-second, they would have missed this unbelievable error from Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón. A simple back pass from Pedri turned disastrous.
