El discurso en la selección de Costa Rica, en la previa de su duelo ante México, ha sido que el Estadio Azteca ya no pesa como antes, que la altura no es factor. Obviamente, todo es parte del juego mental típico de estas instancias y también una forma de los ticos de minimizar un hecho elocuente: el historial entre ambos equipos, en la búsqueda de un boleto mundialista, favorece ampliamente al Tri.
Egypt came from a goal down to defeat Morocco 2-1 in extra time and advance to the semifinals of the Africa Cup of Nations — where host nation Cameroon awaits — with captain Mohamed Salah providing an inspirational goal and assist for the Pharaohs on Sunday.
Morocco's opening goal came early. If you want an example of why Kylian Mbappé thinks Achraf Hakimi is the best right back in the world, here's one.
Australia head coach Tony Gustavsson said pressure will be mounting on him after the Matildas were knocked out of the Women's Asian Cup on Sunday following their shock quarterfinal defeat by South Korea.
Joint-favorites Australia crashed out of the continental tournament after Chelsea midfielder Ji So-yun scored with two minutes remaining to earn the Koreans a 1-0 victory in Pune.
Tim Weah started and played 73 minutes in the USMNT’s victory over El Salvador in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday. Now he’s been denied entry into Canada for the USMNT’s World Cup qualifier with the Canucks on Sunday, leading many to ask: Is Tim Weah vaccinated against Covid-19?
One of U.S. soccer’s greatest strikers is hanging up her boots to join the coaching ranks. Amy Rodriguez, who won at every level, retired from the NWSL on Friday to join her alma mater, USC, as an assistant coach.
A-Rod, as the 34-year-old is affectionately known, won an NCAA title with USC, two Olympic gold medals and the 2015 Women’s World Cup. She led FC Kansas City to back-to-back NWSL titles, scoring 64 goals in 160 matches in her professional career.
The USMNT is one step closer to the 2022 World Cup after a tight 1-0 victory against El Salvador that also featured an amazing Antonee Robinson celebration. The result was nothing to gloat about for American fans.
Here it's a pill hard to swallow: Concacaf doesn't have the monopoly on absurdity. Sorry. Other confederations also have a fair share of the industry, and they are not shy when it is time to demonstrate it.
And yes, we are looking at you, CONMEBOL.
Thursday night there were three games in the South American qualifiers, and all of them brought goals, emotions but also a good amount of WTF moments.
You don't have time; I don't have time, so let's go to the point.
The USMNT has never faced such a daunting trip north of the border. For the first time since 1997, the U.S. men’s national team travels to face Canada in a World Cup qualifier. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch USMNT vs Canada World Cup qualifier on Sunday, Jan. 30.
The U.S. and Canada sit atop the Concacaf qualifying table through nine matches, with five games to go. Both are getting close to qualifying but can’t afford to slip up now, especially with Costa Rica potentially surging up the table.
Most people would think of ice hockey as the most popular sport in Canada, and in a sense, you wouldn't be wrong. Hockey is among the most common Canadian stereotypes, along with maple syrup, Tim Hortons and those great Candian accents (oh yah?).
At the professional sports level, this assumption holds true as well. Canada has seven teams in the NHL versus a combined five teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB and MLS.
QUITO — Alisson said the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) had prevented his side from being "punished unfairly" after the Brazil goalkeeper had two red cards rescinded in Thursday's 1-1 draw with Ecuador in a World Cup qualifier.
Alisson was shown a red card after 25 minutes for a fierce tackle and another in stoppage time for felling Ayrton Preciado as he attempted to punch the ball, but on both occasions the referee consulted VAR and changed his mind.
"I think this was the first time this has happened in the history of football," the Liverpool keeper said.
