El Fabuloso Gol De Benzema A España Merecía Mucho Más Que La Irrelevante Nations League

Francia reparó un poco la pobre imagen que dejó en la última Euro, luego de conseguir el título de la Nations League, derrotando a España por 2-1. Uno de los goles de la victoria fue obra de Karim Benzema y merece verse en eterno loop.

El tanto del delantero fue todo lo que queremos ver en una final. Fabuloso, mágico, sublime. Es una lástima que haya sido en la intrascendente Nations League y no en un torneo de mayor prestigio.

Brilliant Benzema And Mbappé Redeem France With Nations League Title

Portugal’s U21s Put Such A Beatdown On Liechtenstein That The Scoreboard Couldn’t Keep Up

If you haven’t seen a picture or video of the Portugal U21 scoreboard from a Euro qualifier against Liechtenstein on Thursday, I implore you to take a gander. Liechtenstein’s senior team is ranked 188th in the world. As a country with second lowest population among UEFA members, I honestly didn’t even know they had enough people for a U21 team.

Antonio Rüdiger Brutally Nutmegged In Maradona-Esque Solo Goal By Ianis Hagi

Anyone who came of age in the 80s and 90s knows the name: Gheorghe Hagi. Nicknamed “Maradona of the Carpathians,” the Romanian icon was good enough to play for both Real Madrid and Barcelona while retiring as his country’s all-time leading goal scorer. His son has been on the soccer radar since joining Fiorentina at the age of 17, and on Friday the Ianis Hagi goal vs Germany showed this youngster has a touch of his father’s abilities in him.

Belgium Cements Itself As Top Choker In International Soccer After Blowing 2-0 Lead To France

The last time Belgium’s national team missed a major tournament was Euro 2012. Since then, the nation of 11.5 million has quickly become the best international team in the world per FIFA’s somewhat arbitrary ranking system. Despite the success, the last time Belgium was in a final was Euro 1980, losing to Germany 2-1.

Belgium’s chances of seeing a final for the first time in 41 years was blown spectacularly on Thursday when France came roaring back from two goals down to defeat the Belgians in the UEFA Nations League semifinals.

Con El Debutante Más Joven De Su Historia Y Doblete De Ferran, España Acaba Con El Invicto De Italia

Antes del duelo con Italia, por las semifinales de la Nations League, el técnico de España, Luis Enrique, estaba siendo linchado por la prensa local. Porque otra vez no había convocado a jugadores del Real Madrid, porque había omitido a otros de buen presente, porque su convocatoria estaba llena de jóvenes que no sabrían hacer frente a la experiencia de la Azzurra y porque no era capaz de hacer lo necesario como para salvar al planeta de su sexta extinción masiva. OK.
