Amazing

El Tri kicked off its battle to regain the CONCACAF Gold Cup last Saturday night, and what a way to start the campaign. The Mexicans outplayed their Cuban counterparts in a overwhelmingly one-sided match. 

21-year-old LA Galaxy talent Uriel Antuna kicked off the scoring with a right-footed shot inside the box after the ball rebounded from the post. Raul Jimenez announced himself at the Copa Oro with a goal at the 31st minute, and his goal again showed how well he does at holding off pressure from opposition players. 

Megan Rapinoe is not one to shy away from speaking her mind. Now “awake,” according to a recent Yahoo! Sports interview, she’s using her platform to turn herself into, in her own words, “a walking protest.”

Before the Women’s World Cup opener against Thailand began on Tuesday, Rapinoe was the only American player to not put her hand over her heart and sing the national anthem.

Lionel Messi transcends typical descriptions of an athlete.

There is just one way to properly define one of the greatest soccer players of all time — he is, simply put, a creator.

But to say Messi just creates goals would be like saying the Beatles just create music. Messi, whether playing for his club Barcelona or the Argentina national team, makes the beautiful game beautiful. He scores goals, sure, but he does so artistically. He creates goals for teammates, yes, but he generates attacks no one else can see with agility and raw skill. 

Sukanya Chor Charoenying had the worst day at the office ever for a World Cup netminder. The Thailand goalkeeper saw 13 goals fly past her as the U.S. women’s national team ran rampant in their Group F Women’s World Cup opener on Tuesday.

The U.S. women’s national team put a beatdown of historic proportions on Thailand on Tuesday. FOX and Telemundo reaped the benefits with huge USWNT vs Thailand TV ratings.

The U.S. women national team’s 13-0 thrashing of Thailand was nothing short of incredible. Behind Alex Morgan’s record five goals, the USWNT set the record for most goals scored in a single World Cup game. 

Despite all the goals that poured in — and there were a lot — the best moments of the match for the U.S. didn’t come on the pitch, but in the stands. 

It pains me to say that my screenplay for a soccer-focused Disney Channel original film — “The Luck of the Irish II: Roy Keane’s Revenge” — has been overlooked in favor of Back of the Net, but that’s life. It’s still satisfying to know we’ve got a soccer movie coming to the Disney Channel.

On Saturday, June 15 at 8:00 pm, Back of the Net will debut on Disney Channel and DisneyNOW. Here’s the synopsis, which is everything you’d expect from an absolute classic: 

Apart from the match itself, last night’s most anticipated action in Madrid was I̶m̶a̶g̶i̶n̶e̶ ̶D̶r̶a̶g̶o̶n̶s̶ ̶w̶a̶i̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶d̶r̶u̶m̶s̶ taking place inside the beIN Sports studio at the Wanda Metropolitano, where longtime Premier League rivals José Mourinho and Arsène Wenger sat side-by-side for pregame, halftime and post-game analysis of the 2019 UEFA Champions League Final.

Tottenham Hotspurs’ first trip to a Champions League final was not exactly one for the ages. 

Liverpool was awarded a penalty in the first 30 seconds and Mohamed Salah converted to give the Reds a lead it would not relinquish. Divock Origi clinched the win with a goal in the 87th minute, because all the big Belgian did was score big goals this season as Liverpool won 2-0.

One of the most well-known Mexican boxers right now, Canelo Álvarez definitely did not play soccer growing up. He's been fascinated with boxing since the age of 13, and he would go on to become a professional at 15 years of age. But is there a Canelo Alvarez favorite soccer team? 

The Guadalajara-born fighter has become this generation’s Mexican star. Mexico has often done great in the world of boxing, and Álvarez is carrying the torch passed on to him by past greats of the sport.
