Friday's Euro 2020 quarterfinal between Belgium and Italy has the potential to be a standout game in a tournament full of wildly entertaining matchups.
Both sides topped their groups with three wins out of three and they each scored seven goals as well. Belgium allowed just one goal in group play while Italy managed to keep three clean sheets and stretched an already impressive run to over 1,000 minutes without conceding.
Cuando Francia gana, la vida es color de rosa. Pero basta un pequeño tropiezo para tener que ir a buscar un balde de palomitas y ver el drama que se desencadena.
Pasó con el boicot de los jugadores a Raymond Domenech, en pleno Mundial de Sudáfrica 2010; con el supuesto chantaje sexual que involucró a Mathieu Valbuena y Karim Benzema, que dejó a este último seis años fuera de Les Bleus; y ahora con la masiva pelea entre la madre de Adrien Rabiot y las familias de Paul Pogba y Kylian Mbappé, tras la sorpresiva eliminación de Francia en la Euro 2020.
Brendan Rodgers and Leicester City have confirmed their first signing of the summer. Patson Daka has arrived at the King Power Stadium after a $30 million move from RB Salzburg.

Fiorentina has pulled off a fine piece of business by securing the services of the highly sought after forward Nicolás González. The 23-year-old Argentina native arrived last week from Stuttgart to complete a $25.3 million move.
González moved to Stuttgart from childhood club Argentinos Juniors in 2018 and went on to score 23 times and assist 10 goals in 79 games for the Swabians. He played a key role in the side that won promotion to the Bundesliga in 2019-20, scoring 14 goals. He missed much of last season through injury after suffering a torn muscle fiber.
There will be plenty of people with mixed feelings on Merseyside on Wednesday. The initial rumors that ex-Liverpool manager Rafa Benítez was being considered for the Everton job were met with shock and disbelief, and now it's a done deal: Benítez returns to Merseyside to take charge of the Blues on a three-year contract.
We can confirm Rafael Benitez has been appointed as our new manager.

Ucrania está en los cuartos de final de la Euro 2020. La selección de Andriy Schevchenko se deshizo de Suecia de manera dramática, en el minuto 121 de la prórroga, en un partido parejo, emotivo y que dejó un momento realmente espeluznante: la terrible patada que recibió el delantero Artem Besyedin.
La jugada se produjo en el minuto 97 y en ella se ve al defensor sueco Marcus Danielson, entrando con los tachones arriba y sobre la rodilla de Besyedin. En principio, el árbitro le había puesto amarilla, pero tras revisar el VAR, la roja se volvió inevitable.
The Round of 16 duel between Sweden and Ukraine finished with the underdogs Ukraine claiming a 2-1 victory. A disturbing Artem Besyedin injury in extra time put a major damper on the mood.
Swedish defender Marcus Danielson was rightfully shown a red card after VAR review for an extremely high and dangerous tackle on Besyedin.
When I first heard UEFA's plans to not have just one host city for Euro 2020, I was intrigued and pleasantly surprised.
The idea makes sense. Spread fans out across eleven host cities, which prevents hundreds of thousands of supporters descending on one particular country or city. It mitigates the COVID-19 risks (not something that was on the minds of organizers in 2020, but is beneficial in 2021) and helps the many host countries and cities financially without giving too much home field advantage to one country — at least in theory.
Inglaterra venció 2-0 a Alemania en Wembley. ¡Sí, en suelo inglés!, un hito que no se lograba desde 1975.
Con la histórica victoria, Inglaterra avanzó además a los cuartos de final de la Euro 2020, donde se verá las caras, en Roma, contra el ganador del Suecia vs Ucrania.
