Dani Alves es el futbolista con más títulos en la historia, pero celebra cada uno de ellos como si fuera el primero.
La muestra es el oro que consiguió junto a Brasil, luego de derrotar a España en la final de Tokio 2020. Alves, apenas terminó el encuentro, celebró llorando de rodillas y envuelto en la bandera de su país.
¡Un título más para @DaniAlvesD2 !
No one in the world has won more men’s soccer trophies than Dani Alves. You’d never know it from how he celebrated his first Olympic gold medal on Saturday.
The 38-year-old Alves helped his country to a repeat gold at the Olympics as the Seleção beat Spain 2-1 in extra time. When the final whistle blew, Alves broke down in tears of joy.

A single tear of joy trickled out of my eye Friday morning when the news appeared on my phone that Canada defeated Sweden to win the gold medal in women’s soccer. I wasn’t crying for the maple syrup queens; I was overwhelmed with happiness knowing I wouldn’t have to cover games in the middle of the night anymore.
Concacaf, the ragtag group of 41 soccer-playing nations and territories in North America, Central America and the Caribbean, can now definitively claim it is the best confederation in FIFA. With three medals from the 2020 Olympics, Concacaf is taking home more hardware than any other region.
YOKOHAMA, Japan — Canada triumphed with its first gold medal in women's football by beating Sweden 3-2 on penalties after Friday's final ended 1-1 following regular and extra time.
Julia Grosso kept her cool with the decisive penalty in sudden death to give Canada top spot on the podium after bronze medals at London and Rio.
The Swedish team, who had enjoyed far greater pressure throughout the 120 minutes and were one kick away from victory in the shootout, collapsed on the ground, with several members of the squad breaking into tears.
No fue el oro que se soñaba, pero el Tri vuelve de su aventura en Tokio con una medalla de bronce en el equipaje.
El Tri consiguió la medalla luego de derrotar por 3-1 a Japón, la selección anfitriona, en un triunfo que además sirvió de doble revancha: se vengó de la caída 1-2 en la fase de grupos y también de aquella vez en que los nipones le arrebataron la de bronce, en las Olimpíadas de... México 1968. Yep, paradójico, el fin de un ciclo planetario, llámenlo como quieran.
Donald Trump has a theory on why the USWNT failed to win a gold medal at the 2020 Olympics. His team sent a statement out criticizing the U.S. women for winning the bronze medal after beating Australia in a highly entertaining 4-3 third-place match on Thursday.
Trump, who has been banned from most social media platforms, suggested the USWNT would have won gold if they hadn’t been so damn woke.
Well now, that was a little closer to the USWNT Americans were hoping to see all tournament. A shame it only showed up in the bronze-medal match.
Carli Lloyd, it seems, is done being a good teammate.
Lloyd, likely playing in her final tournament for her national team, was the only U.S. women’s national team player who did not take a knee before kickoff of the bronze-medal match against Australia on Thursday in Kashima, Japan.
Esta semana Uruguay no siente mucho amor por la FIFA. Esto luego de los reportes que indican que el máximo ente del fútbol mundial quiere eliminar dos de las cuatro estrellas doradas que los charrúas lucen sobre su escudo.
La noticia llegó de rebote y a través de Puma, sponsor deportivo de La Celeste. La marca alemana estaba trabajando en los uniformes del ciclo 2022-23, cuando la FIFA sugirió que solo dos de las estrellas corresponden a títulos mundiales.
