Soccer is ever-moving. Just as soon as one season end, the next begins, and with it comes an overwhelming supply of games, moments and, most importantly, memes from the past week. Here, we make sure that you never miss a moment of the greatness that goes on in just 280 characters. This is “This Weekend On Soccer Twitter.”
Defenders have an old saying: "The ball can pass you or the opponent, but never both at the same time." It's a philosophy, a way of life. And Giorgio Chiellini is one of its highest priests.
The newcomers made their presence felt as Sporting Kansas City defeated the LA Galaxy 4-2 Saturday night in Kansas City. Erik Thommy and William Agada, who joined the club in the midseason transfer window, combined for three first-half goals.
Agada had a brace after Thommy gave Sporting the early lead.
Chicharito scored a goal in the 83rd minute to avoid the shutout and then converted a penalty kick in stoppage time. But Daniel Salloi recovered a poor clearance and slid it by Galaxy keeper Jonathan Bond for the clincher.
Giorgio Chiellini poco a poco comienza a descubrir los encantos de Los Angeles y eso incluye la fantástica comida mexicana que ofrece la ciudad.
¿Su opinión? Está completamente enamorado de sus sabores y algo de eso compartió hace un par de días en diálogo con algunos aficionados que asistieron al amistoso entre el LAFC y el Club América, a quienes les confesó cuáles eran sus delicias favoritas.
Miguel Layún se robó las miradas durante el triunfo del América sobre el LAFC de Carlos Vela, Giorgio Chiellini y Gareth Bale, en un amistoso promocional de la Leagues Cup 2023.
Su protagonismo, sin embargo, no estuvo asociado a una gran performance, sino que a un colosal fail que al menos entregó risas en medio de un duelo árido, aburrido y que tras un par de donuts en el marcador se decidió en la tanda de penaltis.
Chivas está en un lugar frío y oscuro. El Rebaño no gana ni en los amistosos y tras una derrota por 2-0 ante el LA Galaxy sumó su octavo partido consecutivo sin conocer la victoria.
Curiosamente, la caída del equipo que solo admite futbolistas mexicanos en su plantel vino con el sello de la sangre mexicana que juega en el LA Galaxy: asistencia de Efraín Álvarez y un gol del juvenil Jonathan Pérez. Como si no fuera suficiente, los dos nacidos en Estados Unidos, crecieron en familias que adoran a Chivas.
¡Auch!
Multiples sources have now confirmed that the Riqui Puig LA Galaxy contract has been agreed to, with the 23-year-old joining from Barcelona on a free transfer despite still having one year left on his contract at the Camp Nou.
Barça manager Xavi told Puig back in May that he wasn't part of the club's midfield plans for the new campaign, and after being left off the team's preseason tour of the United States, the "next Iniesta" has signed a three-year deal ahead of the MLS transfer window closing Thursday.
There is a day in life when all soccer fans discover that the game is not as pure and immaculate as they always thought but a gigantic castle of money, lies and big egos. That moment came this weekend too soon for a little boy in Dallas who just wanted a photo and autograph from his idol, Javier Hernández.
