Great Britain Is Coming Home Early After Australia Comes Alive Late

TOKYO — Canada reached the semifinals in women's soccer for the third consecutive Olympic Games as goalkeeper Stephanie Labbe saved two Brazil penalties in a 4-3 shootout win on Friday. Australia smashed Great Britain in extra time and Sweden knocked out host Japan.

After Canada captain Christine Sinclair's penalty was saved by Barbara, Labbe rescued her side with two diving saves to keep out Brazil's final two spot kicks from Andressa and Rafaelle.

Alyssa Naeher (3 PK Saves) Was The Hero The USWNT Really Effing Needed

The USWNT has been far from impressive at the Tokyo Olympics. The defense has been shaky, the midfield often overrun and the forwards unable to stay onside. But Team USA is through to the medal rounds thanks to the heroics of goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, the one constant this tournament.

Con HH De Héroe Y Dedicatoria Al Padre De Jona Dos Santos, México Clasifica A La Final De La Copa Oro

¡Uff! México está en la final de la Copa Oro, luego de vencer a Canadá por 2-1, en un partido que fue una verdadera travesía emocional.

No solo porque se definió en el minuto 99, con un zurdazo casi milagroso de Héctor Herrera, sino que también por la lamentable muerte de Zizinho dos Santos, ex jugador que hizo fama en la Liga MX y padre de Giovanni y Jonathan dos Santos. Este último es parte del plantel del Tri y en vez de abandonar la concentración, decidió jugar el partido para rendir tributo a su progenitor.

A Brief History On Why People Hate The USWNT

In 1999, the USWNT was on top of the world. Americans fell in love with the 99ers who won the Women’s World Cup on home soil, with Brandi Chastain’s shirtless celebration becoming one of the first soccer moments to transcend into mainstream culture in the U.S. 

Twenty years later, the USWNT was back on top of the world. Megan Rapinoe led the USWNT to a fourth Women’s World Cup, but the love didn’t necessarily follow. Half of the country hated the team for reasons having little to do with soccer.

Don't Sleep On Qatar: The Boys In Maroon Will Be A Tough Out In The Gold Cup And Beyond

Mention the name "Qatar" to a soccer fan and you are bound to hear (justified) grumblings about oil money, bribery and the thousands of immigrant workers that have died during preparations for the 2022 World Cup.

Japan’s Takefusa Kubo Is Playing Himself Into Real Madrid’s Plans For The Upcoming Season

HONG KONG - With crucial goals in each of Japan's three group games, Takefusa Kubo is delivering on his potential, as the Olympic Games hosts step up their chase for a place on the podium for the first time in over half a century.

Don’t Look Now U.S. Soccer Fans, But Thursday Night/Friday Morning Could Be The Darkest 12 Hours In History

U.S. Soccer morale isn’t too high across the board right now. On the women’s side the USWNT has done anything but impress at the 2020 Olympics with one decent performance and two horror shows. Meanwhile on the men’s side, the B-team is grinding out Gold Cup results and is preparing for its biggest challenge yet, Qatar.

I’ve seen several posts online from fans in agreement that they would rather lose to Mexico 5-0 than fall to Qatar at home. I would have to agree in all honesty.

Una Estrella De Reality Y El Peso De La Historia, Los Obstáculos De México Ante Corea Del Sur

Corea del Sur, en cuartos de final, es el próximo obstáculo de México en su camino al oro olímpico en Tokio 2020. 

La selección asiática clasificó como primera en su grupo, luego de caer 0-1 ante Nueva Zelandia y golear a Rumania (4-0) y Honduras (6-0).

Sobrepasarla no será una tarea fácil. Si bien el Tri tiene un plantel rico y capaz, hay un par de elementos que pueden complicar la misión: el talento propio de los Guerreros de Taegeuk y el historial entre ambas selecciones, el cual es bastante lúgubre para México.

It’s an awesome gesture similar to when LUNA Bar made a large donation in 2019. What does it really mean for how much the USWNT is paid for the Olympics? Let’s dig in.
