Weston McKennie’s Long Throws Can’t Be Legal, Can They?
I’ve been watching a lot of Juventus matches lately. With Weston McKennie in fine goal-scoring form, it’s hard not to watch my fellow Texan do things no American has done before while converting soaring headers and powerful strikes. But one facet of his game has made him totally unique at Juventus: the long Weston McKennie throw-in.
Rebanada De Cáceres Condena Al América Y Le Da La Concachampions Al Monterrey
Un calamitoso error defensivo de Sebastián Cáceres, uno de esos que a uno lo persiguen por toda la vida, acabó siendo decisivo en la final de la Concacaf Champions League 2021 entre Monterrey y América.
En la previa, por presente, el favoritismo estaba marcado en las espaldas del América. Sin embargo, Rayados -que venía de una racha de cuatro derrotas consecutivas en Liga MX- aprovechó el aliento de sus aficionados en el Estadio BBVA y el fallo del zaguero americanista para obtener su quinto título en la competencia y también los boletos al Mundial de Clubes 2021.

Should Referees Give Post-Match Interviews? Italy Is Seriously Considering It
Last week, Arsène Wenger — now FIFA’s Chief of Global Football Development — told a refereeing convention in France that refs should give post-match press conferences.
“It would be a good way to avoid controversy and shut them down before they became a public debate,” Wenger said. “We would have to get the support of referees, and I don’t know what kind of state of mind they’re in after games to be able to give an opinion.”
