After Sunday's barnstorming 2-2 draw between Manchester City and Liverpool at the Etihad, it was clear that managers Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp, as disciples of attacking football, were spiritually lifted by what they'd seen out on the pitch.
As with many soccer coaches of his era, Joe Morrone did not fit the profile of what we would consider a modern soccer coach.
First, he did not have a background in the sport — "I think the first time I saw a soccer game, I was playing in it," Morrone said.
Then there was his appearance on the sideline — donning sunglasses and a suit and toting a clipboard that rarely survived the full 90 minutes.
Brazilian fans are pretty confident about winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The team practically walked the CONMEBOL qualifiers without losing a single game, and supporters feel the squad is strong enough to grab its sixth trophy in the history of the competition. If you go to Brazil, you will probably smell the Hexa in every corner of the country.
The question is, what's going to happen after coach Tite leaves his post? And well, Pep Guardiola may happen. Or at least that's what Diario Marca is saying.
MANCHESTER, England - Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp says it is simply a joy to carry out their analysis work on Manchester City ahead of Sunday's Premier League title clash at the Etihad Stadium.
The two teams, who have dominated the league over the past five seasons, are separated by just a point with leaders City hoping they can restore some breathing space with a victory.
Hoy, cuando mires el duelo entre Manchester City y Atlético de Madrid, seguro que extrañarás el rostro de Héctor Herrera.
El mediocampista mexicano le ha dado la vuelta a la temporada. Luego de ser banca casi todo el año, finalmente convenció al técnico Diego Simeone y se ha convertido en una pieza fundamental en la recuperación futbolística de los colchoneros. Sin embargo, ante el City de Pep Guardiola, HH ni siquiera se vestirá de corto.
Se acabó el sufrimiento. México hizo la tarea y luego de vencer 2-0 a El Salvador en el Estadio Azteca consiguió su soñado boleto a Catar 2022.
Sin volverse locos ni perder la cabeza, hay que reconocer que el Tri jugó mucho mejor de lo que venía haciéndolo, con más chispa en la generación de juego y mejor suerte frente al arco rival. Ayudó la actitud temerosa de La Selecta, pero también se debe destacar la fantástica actuación de Uriel Antuna.
Since he was hired in 2018, a large section of USMNT supporters have criticized every possible move made by Gregg Berhalter. Whether it was roster selections, tactical decisions or the way he likes to wear nice shoes, some fans always found something wrong with the coach.
Now that the U.S. has qualified for the 2022 World Cup, I think it’s clear Berhalter coached the qualifying campaign just about as perfectly as any American could reasonably ask for.
Las eliminatorias Concacaf para el Mundial 2022 viven sus últimas horas y México aún no saca los boletos a Catar.
Clasifique o no al Mundial de Catar, la continuidad de Gerardo Martino al mando de la selección mexicana pareciera no estar ciento por ciento confirmada. El molino de rumores tiene un par de teorías dando vueltas: una dice que los dueños de los clubes de la Liga MX se sentarán a decidir su futuro una vez terminadas las clasificatorias, mientras que la otra habla de que la FMF le preguntará al técnico si está apto para dirigir al Tri los nueve meses que le quedan de contrato ante sus recientes problemas de salud.
