Christian Pulisic’s Trolling Of Memo Ochoa Was All About Commanding Respect

United States' Christian Pulisic was on target in Friday's 2-0 win over Mexico, but it was the message scrawled on his T-shirt that made headlines as the winger responded to a pre-match jibe from their North American arch rivals with one of his own.

Second-half substitute Pulisic headed home a cross within five minutes of coming on, while Weston McKennie scored another as a young U.S. team moved to the top  of the World Cup qualifying CONCACAF standings.

When the USMNT and Mexico met on Nov. 12 at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, it marked the 73rd clash between the two giants of the CONCACAF region.

Kylian Mbappé’s Four-Goal Master Class Puts Him On Pace To Rewrite History

PARIS - Kylian Mbappé continued his meteoric rise on Saturday with another jaw-dropping performance as France qualified for next year's World Cup with an 8-0 demolition of Kazakhstan.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker became the first player to score four goals for France in a single game since Just Fontaine against Sweden at the 1958 World Cup.

Five weeks before his 23rd birthday, Mbappé has scored 23 international goals from 52 caps — bettering the marks of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at the same age.

Para Pasar Las Penas: El Tri Sub-20 Le Ganó A Brasil Con Gol De Marcelo Flores

Fue en un torneo amistoso, fue en categoría Sub-20, pero al final del día fue una victoria en un fin de semana gris. México venció a Brasil por 2-1 en la Revelations Cup y lavó un poquito las heridas que dejó entre los aficionados la derrota de la selección adulta ante Estados Unidos.

En plan optimista, además, el partido sirvió para tener una dosis de ilusión en torno al futuro, si es que ese futuro alguna vez llega.

Minnows Latvia Might Have Just Denied The World From Seeing Haaland Play In A World Cup

OSLO — Norway's hopes of qualifying for the World Cup finals in Qatar suffered a serious blow when they were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Latvia in their Group G clash on Saturday.

El Hombre En El Espejo Y Cómo México Se Está Convirtiendo En Un Meme Para Estados Unidos

La derrota ante Estados Unidos en las eliminatorias 2022 dejó un intoxicante y amargo sabor de boca entre los aficionados de México. No solo porque es la tercera derrota consecutiva ante el USMNT, sino que también por todas las preguntas de identidad que deja flotando. Desde si es Gerardo Martino el hombre correcto para liderar al Tri hasta si la famosa distancia entre ambos seleccionados desapareció completamente. De todas, sin embargo, una de las más interesantes -bajo mi perspectiva- tiene que ver con la narrativa de la selección mexicana a la hora de enfrentar a su vecino del norte.

England Fans And Pundits Lose Their Minds And Flip Out Over Harry Maguire Celebration

England defender Harry Maguire defended his goal celebration during Friday's World Cup qualifying victory over Albania which former players described as over the top and unnecessary following his poor performances for Manchester United.

¡Dos A Cero! Y ¡Tres Al Hilo!: La Pesadilla De México Ante Estados Unidos Continúa

El 2021 será un año que los aficionados de México querrán sepultar en el centro de la Tierra y nunca volver a desenterrar. Sí, se ganaron varios partidos e incluso se consiguió una medalla de bronce en los Juegos Olímpicos. Sin embargo, a nivel adulto y ante Estados Unidos, el rival que importa, todo fue una pesadilla. Caída en la final de la Nations League, derrota en la final de la Copa Oro y ahora un tropezón enorme en las Eliminatorias rumbo a Catar 2022. Más encima con el peor resultado de todos: ¡Dos a cero!

Tres partidos consecutivos que no podrán olvidarse fácilmente.
