Former U.S. Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro and incumbent Cindy Parlow Cone are the two candidates seeking election to the position in March, the national governing body said on Monday.
In 1986, Diego Armando Maradona was on top of the world. With five goals and five assists, El Pibe de Oro led Argentina to an impressive World Cup victory. The stat that really shows how great Maradona was that summer in Mexico wasn’t his goals, assists or record number of dribbles — it was the record he set for most fouls suffered in a men’s World Cup.
The life of a professional footballer can be a surprisingly lonesome one. You sacrifice the traditional avenues of making friends and meeting significant others for a highly regimented existence that is entirely self-centered, and you never know who you can really trust when you have a net worth of $100 million at the age of 23. When looking for a Kylian Mbappe girlfriend, this seems to be the case — Mbappé appears to be alone and single right now.
Ah, the glory of international tournaments. Instead of a crushing start to the week, Monday gave us the simple pleasure of coffee and watching Senegal — one of the clear favorites in Cameroon — begin its Africa Cup of Nations campaign against underdog Zimbabwe.
Andrés Guardado no es un jugador que destaque por hacer trucos dentro del campo, pero nadie puede negar su constancia y regularidad. El mexicano es lo que llaman un metrónomo. Y si bien eso puedo sonar aburrido, sobre todo para la gente que quiere fuegos artificiales, en el sabor vainilla de su carrera, Guardado igual se las arregló hoy para conseguir algo increíble: superar a Hugo Sánchez como el mexicano con más partidos en Europa.
Este domingo 9 de enero, Guardado alcanzó su partido número 496 al otro lado del Atlántico.
ROME - Juventus scored three goals in seven second-half minutes to complete an astonishing comeback and beat AS Roma 4-3 on Sunday after goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny saved a late penalty to keep them in front at the Stadio Olimpico.

La torpeza es una criatura salvaje, siempre acechando y lista para atacar cuando nadie lo espera. Quienes la conocen saben además que ama dar el zarpazo cuando la situación parece bajo control y el peligro es apenas otra inofensiva palabra en el diccionario.
VENICE - AC Milan went top of Serie A with a 3-0 win over struggling Venezia on Sunday, as defender Theo Hernández struck twice in the second half to help his side clinch their third consecutive league victory.

Carlos Rodríguez tiene un don para el fútbol. Lo sabemos. Hasta ahora, sin embargo, lo que nadie sabía era que el mediocampista además tenía una habilidad secreta: predecir el futuro.
Dicho talento quedó en evidencia en su debut como jugador del Cruz Azul y él mismo lo confesó tras la victoria 2-0 sobre Xolos, donde anotó uno de los goles. “Venía en el autobús con Sebas Jurado y le dije imagínate, cómo te caería ganar y que meta un gol", afirmó Charly entre risas frente a las cámaras de TUDN. "Por eso lo festejé con él y le digo, te lo dije”, agregó.
