The USMNT was humbled by a superior Canada 2-0 on Sunday in World Cup qualifying. The best American male player, Christian Pulisic, was largely ineffective during the massive showdown between the top two teams in Concacaf right now. The Chelsea winger attempted four dribbles, failing to complete a single one.
Maybe Pulisic should’ve taken some notes from Sprout the camel.
Charlyn Corral parece haberse enchufado finalmente al fútbol mexicano. La delantera de las Tuzas poco a poco empieza a lucir su legendario talento frente a las porterías rivales y hoy con un doblete ante el Toluca se puso al frente en la tabla de goleo de la Liga MX Femenil.
Corral llegó al Pachuca a mediados de 2021 y su primer torneo estuvo lejos de ser impresionate, anotando apenas cuatro conquistas. En su defensa, la jugadora venía saliendo de una larga lesión en una de sus rodillas.
Tecatito Corona y Orbelín Pineda no son los únicos futbolistas mexicanos que pueden considerar España su nuevo hogar. Esta última semana, la lateral Sofía Álvarez y la arquera Itzel González dejaron los pastos de la Liga MX Femenil y se incorporaron a LaLiga Iberdrola, donde defenderán al Valencia y al Sevilla, respectivamente.
Los traspasos son importantes en una dimensión personal para ambas jugadoras, pero también ayudan a la Liga MX Femenil -creada hace apenas cinco años- a consolidarse como una vitrina sólida para llegar a Europa.

One of U.S. soccer’s greatest strikers is hanging up her boots to join the coaching ranks. Amy Rodriguez, who won at every level, retired from the NWSL on Friday to join her alma mater, USC, as an assistant coach.
A-Rod, as the 34-year-old is affectionately known, won an NCAA title with USC, two Olympic gold medals and the 2015 Women’s World Cup. She led FC Kansas City to back-to-back NWSL titles, scoring 64 goals in 160 matches in her professional career.
Most people would think of ice hockey as the most popular sport in Canada, and in a sense, you wouldn't be wrong. Hockey is among the most common Canadian stereotypes, along with maple syrup, Tim Hortons and those great Candian accents (oh yah?).
At the professional sports level, this assumption holds true as well. Canada has seven teams in the NHL versus a combined five teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB and MLS.
Megan Rapinoe isn’t hanging up the boots just yet. Following the lead of her fiancée, the USWNT icon is sticking around for at least one more season. Rapinoe re-signed a one-year deal to stay with the OL Reign in the NWSL, the club announced on Wednesday.

Monday night was awful for Club América Femenil. The team lost in eloquent fashion against Monterrey, the current champion of Liga MX, and its coach Craig Harrington created a PR nightmare after seeing a red card for insulting opposing players.
United States women's national team goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher on Monday said she is fully recovered from the right knee injury she suffered during the Tokyo Olympics and returns with a newfound appreciation for the sometimes cruel sport.
The veteran player collided with a teammate while trying to intercept a crossing pass early in a 1-0 semifinal loss to Canada, and the resulting injury led to a lengthy rehab.
