Tim Weah started and played 73 minutes in the USMNT’s victory over El Salvador in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday. Now he’s been denied entry into Canada for the USMNT’s World Cup qualifier with the Canucks on Sunday, leading many to ask: Is Tim Weah vaccinated against Covid-19?
The USMNT is one step closer to the 2022 World Cup after a tight 1-0 victory against El Salvador that also featured an amazing Antonee Robinson celebration. The result was nothing to gloat about for American fans.
Here it's a pill hard to swallow: Concacaf doesn't have the monopoly on absurdity. Sorry. Other confederations also have a fair share of the industry, and they are not shy when it is time to demonstrate it.
And yes, we are looking at you, CONMEBOL.
Thursday night there were three games in the South American qualifiers, and all of them brought goals, emotions but also a good amount of WTF moments.
You don't have time; I don't have time, so let's go to the point.
The USMNT has never faced such a daunting trip north of the border. For the first time since 1997, the U.S. men’s national team travels to face Canada in a World Cup qualifier. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch USMNT vs Canada World Cup qualifier on Sunday, Jan. 30.
The U.S. and Canada sit atop the Concacaf qualifying table through nine matches, with five games to go. Both are getting close to qualifying but can’t afford to slip up now, especially with Costa Rica potentially surging up the table.
QUITO — Alisson said the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) had prevented his side from being "punished unfairly" after the Brazil goalkeeper had two red cards rescinded in Thursday's 1-1 draw with Ecuador in a World Cup qualifier.
Alisson was shown a red card after 25 minutes for a fierce tackle and another in stoppage time for felling Ayrton Preciado as he attempted to punch the ball, but on both occasions the referee consulted VAR and changed his mind.
"I think this was the first time this has happened in the history of football," the Liverpool keeper said.
La visita de México a Jamaica estuvo intensa a nivel de emociones. Sobre todo para Gerardo Martino, quien por momentos seguro pensó que su trabajo como entrenador del Tri tenía las horas contadas.
Los Reggae Boyz vencían a la selección mexicana pese a jugar con un hombre menos, empantando aún más su ya tortuoso camino a Catar 2022. Quedaban 10 minutos de partido y no se veía por donde el Tri podría obrar el milagro. Sin embargo, en apenas 120 segundos, dos rayos de luz nacidos en los pies de Jesús Corona lideraron una remontada que el Tata celebró como si fuera campeón del mundo.
Prior to the USMNT's World Cup qualifier against El Salvador on Thursday night, left back Antonee Robinson was asked to discuss his recent attacking form for Championship-leading Fulham, which has just rattled off four straight wins while scoring an incredible 22 goals.
During that run, Robinson's hit one from 20 yards out and provided two assists while going the full 90 in every match.
Después de jugar media campaña sin sus servicios, el VAR finalmente hizo su estreno en el universo de la Concacaf.
La tecnología de videoarbitraje se activó por primera vez durante el duelo eliminatorio entre Jamaica y México para dar su opinión en una dura entrada de Damion Lowe sobre Andrés Guardado.
La jugada ocurrió en el minuto 43, cuando Lowe fue a disputar el balón con los tachones arriba. El jugador jamaicano no le dio al balón y terminó enterrándolos sobre el tobillo izquierdo del Principito.
De acuerdo a la FIFA, México es el tercer país que más boletos ha solicitado para el próximo Mundial de Catar 2022. El dato demuestra el entusiasmo que existe entre los aficionados, pero al mismo tiempo hay algo que atenta contra ese optimismo: hasta ahora el Tri no ha conseguido su clasificación al torneo.
El objetivo no está lejos, pero si algo me enseñó el hecho de crecer en una casa sin mucho dinero es que este se cuenta solo cuando está en las manos.
For United States men’s national team fans asking the question "is John Brooks playing for the USA?” the answer is no at the moment, and it could be that way for the future.
The 28-year-old was left off head coach Gregg Berhalter’s USMNT roster for a second straight World Cup qualifying window and won't play in games against El Salvador, Canada and Honduras. Brooks is experiencing a rough patch in his career, hasn’t found recent success with the national team and could be looking at a summer transfer after issues with Wolfsburg.
