After The Death Of His 9-Year-Old Daughter, Luis Enrique Is Unfazed By Spain’s Critics

La imagen de Lionel Messi cabizbajo con la camiseta de la selección argentina no es rara. Sin embargo, en esta Copa América 2021, el 10 está haciendo todo lo que está en sus pies para borrarla. Messi está brillando en Brasil, con asistencias y goles que ya tienen a la Albiceleste en las semifinales del torneo.

Su último show fue en la victoria por 3-0 sobre Ecuador, en la que aportó con dos pases-gol y un magnífico tiro libre. Hasta le aplaudieron como cantó el himno nacional.

Inglaterra A Puro Beautiful Game (Jogo Bonito) Le Hizo Cuatro A Ucrania Y Avanzó A Semis

Hasta ayer, Inglaterra había convertido cuatro goles en sus cuatro partidos en esta Euro 2020: uno a Croacia, cero a Escocia, uno a República Checa y dos a Alemania. Para muchos una cifra mezquina para un plantel lleno de talento ofensivo y candidato al título. Ante Ucrania, sin embargo, esa austeridad frente al arco rival se olvidó por completo. Inglaterra ganó 4-0 y terminó jugando con un estilo avasallador.

El jogo bonito o beautiful game de los ingleses se propició en gran parte por la tempranera apertura de la cuenta.

England Continues Waltz Through Its Cupcake Euro 2020 Schedule

England is lucky there’s no selection committee for the Euro 2020 knockout rounds. If there were, the Three Lions would never make the final four based on strength of schedule. But England won’t mind after crushing Ukraine 4-0 to advance to the semifinals on Saturday in Rome.

La Trivela De Joakim Maehle Es La Mejor Asistencia De Toda La Euro

Mexico Is Seriously Trying To Get Its Women’s Team To Serve Punishment Incurred By Men’s Team

On June 18, FIFA finally handed down a meaningful sanction to the Mexican Football Federation (FMF), requiring Mexico to play its next two home games without fans because of continued use of a homophobic chant during matches. Now the FMF is trying to pull a fast one and make its women’s team serve the punishment. 

Classy.

Here’s Why UEFA Banned Rainbow Ads At Two Euro 2020 Quarterfinals

UEFA likes to claim it supports human rights — until there’s any sort of pushback. Europe’s football governing body once again showed how fucking feckless it is by banning rainbow ads at Euro 2020 quarterfinals in Saint Petersburg and Baku. 

Phantom Corner Helps Denmark Continue Feel-Good Run Through Euro 2020

Given everything that has happened to Denmark during Euro 2020, only Czech Republic supporters will complain about a crucial call that went against them early in their quarterfinal match.

Entre Pecho, Hombro Y Mentón: La Brutal Patada Voladora De Gabriel Jesus Sobre Eugenio Mena

Brasil logró una apretada victoria por 1-0 sobre Chile y avanzó a los cuartos de final de la Copa América 2021. La conversación global, sin embargo, no gira en torno a las dificultades que tuvo la canarinha para conseguir el triunfo, sino que a la monumental patada voladora que Gabriel Jesus le dio al defensor de La Roja, Eugenio Mena.

Con toda seguridad, la entrada más violenta en todo el torneo.
