Australia’s Goofy Ass Goalkeeper Sends Socceroos To World Cup

Years of World Cup qualifying came down to a few kicks from 12 yards out for Australia and Peru on Monday. In a dramatic shootout to decide the penultimate place at the 2022 World Cup, it was the goofy histrionics of Australia goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne that proved decisive.

Redmayne saved Peru’s sixth and final penalty attempt to send the Socceroos to the World Cup with a 5-4 shootout victory after a 0-0 draw on Monday at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Qatar. Australia will join Group D with France, Denmark and Tunisia in November.

It's Been 8 Years To The Day Since Robin Van Persie Took Flight At The World Cup

It's a little unsettling and depressing to think that, were things running as usual on the international calendar, we'd be at the start of the month-long carnival that is the World Cup. 

June 13 has marked some unforgettable World Cup moments in the past, but none more so than what transpired eight years ago on this day at Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador, Brazil.

Marco Asensio And Gavi Turn On The Style As Spain Leapfrogs Portugal In Nations League

MALAGA - Goals from Carlos Soler and Pablo Sarabia earned Spain a 2-0 win over Czech Republic on Sunday, a result that put them on top of UEFA Nations League Group A2.

Santi Muñoz Becomes The Movie Hero In Mexico's Third-Place Finish

Mexico and Newcastle real-life striker Santiago Muñoz has never been as close to emulating Mexico and Newcastle Goal! movie-character striker Santiago Muñez as he was this Sunday after becoming the hero in a 2-0 victory over Colombia. It's a win that allowed El Tri to finish third at the U-21 Maurice Revello Tournament. 

Hulk Smashes 70 MPH Free Kick Off The Post Like Only He Can

Despite turning 36 at the end of July, Brazilian legend Hulk still packs as much power as ever, particularly in his concussive left foot.

Although the nation of Brazil is free of weapons of mass destruction, it still possesses the key technologies needed to produce nuclear weapons — the science is all stored in Hulk's left.

Marcelo Flores No Pudo Contener Las Lágrimas Después Del Penal Que Falló Ante Surinam

Después de haber jugado un par de amistosos moleros, Marcelo Flores finalmente tuvo su debut oficial-oficial con la selección mexicana. El jugador del Arsenal entró de cambio en el complemento y tuvo una participación destacadísima en la victoria por 3-0 sobre Surinam. Diríamos incluso que casi perfecta, si no fuera por el penal que desperdició y que pudo haber significado su debut goleador con el Tri adulto.

De Lainez A Pizarro: Lo Bueno Y Lo Malo Que Dejó El Triunfo De México Sobre Surinam

Sin hacer un partido brillante, México venció 3-0 a Surinam en el inicio de la Concacaf Champions League. 

Con varios de los referentes del Tri de vacaciones, el gran atractivo del duelo era ver en cancha a los jugadores que tratan de ganarse un boleto en el avión al Mundial de Catar 2022. Y en ese contexto hubo varios que subieron sus bonos en la lista que prepara Gerardo Martino, pero tantos otros que hicieron mérito para quedarse fuera del viaje. 

Pressure Builds Ahead Of Winner-Takes-All World Cup Playoff Between Peru And Australia

DOHA - Australia and Peru both came through playoffs to qualify for the last World Cup, but only one of them will advance this time round when they meet in their inter-continental playoff in Doha on Monday for a place at this year’s finals in Qatar.

Three Players Who Impressed And Two Who Simply Didn’t Have It Against Grenada

Good news guys, the USMNT is capable of beating Grenada. It’s hard to take too much away from the U.S. defeating Grenada 5-0 in the Concacaf Nations League on Friday, but we have a couple players to highlight for the USMNT. 

Head coach Gregg Berhalter put out the B-team for the USMNT, reasonably so, and fans got to see some fringe players try to prove their worth. Christian Pulisic and Tyler Adams didn’t even dress for the team Friday night to give you an idea of how important this game was.

Kylian Mbappé Salvages Draw Against Austria As France Extends Winless Streak To Three Games

Kylian Mbappé struck a late equalizer to help holders France salvage a 1-1 away draw against Austria as they kept alive their slim hopes of reaching the final four of the Nations League on Friday.

Mbappé, who came on as a substitute after the break, found the back of the net with a shot into the top corner seven minutes from time to cancel out Andreas Weimann's first-half opener.

The world champions are bottom of Group 1 with two points from three games, four behind leaders Denmark, who slumped to a 1-0 home defeat against Croatia.
