Arturo Vidal Has Name Removed From Stadium In Chile Amid Feud With Local Government

Chile midfielder Arturo Vidal's name has been removed from a stadium in the community where he was born by local officials, prompting an angry response from the player.

The mayor in San Joaquin, a community in greater Santiago, said they took the decision to remove Vidal’s name due to a “misunderstanding” that the combative midfielder had helped fund its construction.

Vidal, however, said he asked for his name to be removed amid a dispute over access for young players.

¿Por Qué Siempre Llama A Los Mismos? Tata Martino Da La Convocatoria Para Estados Unidos Y Canadá

Había rumores de que Gerardo Martino le metería mano a la convocatoria de México para los próximos partidos ante Estados Unidos (12 de noviembre) y Canadá (16 de noviembre). Que reaparecerían el vetado Gerardo Arteaga, Diego Lainez y hasta el caído en desgracia José Juan Macías. Sin embargo, el Tri volverá a las eliminatorias con una lista que es más o menos la misma de siempre.

Gio Dos Santos Hizo Uno De Los Mejores Goles De Un México - Estados Unidos; Hoy No Tiene Club

Pocos jugadores en la historia del fútbol mexicano han creado tanta expectativa como Giovani dos Santos. Descubierto a temprana edad y adoctrinado en La Masía, fábrica de talentos del FC Barcelona, su límite parecían ser las estrellas. Hoy, sin embargo, el futbolista lucha por no quedar en el olvido y entregar su último rayo de luz antes del retiro.

Christian Pulisic Headlines USMNT Roster For Upcoming World Cup Qualifiers

Forward Christian Pulisic headlines the 25-man roster announced Thursday for the United States Men's National Team's upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Players will begin reporting to camp in Cincinnati this Sunday. The USMNT will face Mexico at Cincinnati's TQL Stadium on Nov. 12 before traveling to face Jamaica in Kingston on Nov. 16.

The U.S. (3-1-2, 11 points) is currently in second place behind Mexico (4-0-2, 14 points) in the CONCACAF qualifying table for the Qatar World Cup. Canada (2-0-4, 10 points) is third.

USA-Mexico Is Always Heated, But Here Are The Few Times When Fans Crossed The Line

The soccer rivalry between Mexico and the United States is one of the fiercest and most entertaining in the world. As a USMNT supporter, I consider myself lucky to call Mexico a neighbor. If Mexico didn’t play in Concacaf, the region would be incredibly dull. 

All soccer fans in North America look forward to when El Tri and the Stars and Stripes meet, whether it’s a friendly, Gold Cup match or World Cup qualifier. The atmosphere at these games is one of the best in the world, but sometimes supporters get a little out of control. 

Weston McKennie’s Long Throws Can’t Be Legal, Can They?

I’ve been watching a lot of Juventus matches lately. With Weston McKennie in fine goal-scoring form, it’s hard not to watch my fellow Texan do things no American has done before while converting soaring headers and powerful strikes. But one facet of his game has made him totally unique at Juventus: the long Weston McKennie throw-in.

English-Born Fullback Matty Cash Gets Surprise Call-Up From Different Country For Next Week's International Break

It's not uncommon for England-born footballers to represent other countries. The Republic of Ireland, Scotland, and Jamaica are just a few of the national sides with a decent proportion of English natives in their squads.

But a player from the outskirts of London suiting up for Poland? Now that's a new one. Yet that's exactly what happened to Matty Cash, who earned his first Poland call-up this week. Is Matty Cash Polish?

Aficionados Porfiados Dejan Al Tri Sin Público En Los Dos Próximos Partidos De Local

El implacable mazo de la FIFA vuelve a caer sobre la selección mexicana. La nueva sanción del organismo sobre el Tri incluye una suculenta multa de 100 mil francos suizos (cerca de 100 mil dólares) y dos partidos de local sin público en las tribunas.

No hay que ser genio para saber la causa del castigo, pero por si vienes llegando de Urano, entérate que es por el infame grito homófobo "¡eeeh, puto!" que resuena en las gradas cada vez que el Tri masculino juega en casa.

Christian Pulisic Finally Set To Make First Chelsea Appearance Since August

Chelsea midfielder Christian Pulisic is ready to return from a long-term injury for Tuesday's Champions League group game against Malmo but Mason Mount will miss out after failing to recover from illness, manager Thomas Tuchel said on Monday.

U.S. international Pulisic, 23, has not played since the Premier League opener in August due to an ankle problem, while Mount travelled with the squad for the 3-0 win at Newcastle United on Saturday but had to withdraw on the eve of the game.

If This Exquisite Assist From Joe Scally Doesn’t Earn Him USMNT Roster Spot, Then Nothing Will

American defender Joe Scally recorded his first Bundesliga goal and assist in the month of October. Scally picked up an assist on Halloween with a spooky good cross to give Borussia Monchengladbach the lead against VfL Bochum.
