The Mexican national team revealed its roster for the upcoming and final round of games in the 2022 Concacaf World Cup qualifiers, including the highly anticipated face-off against the USMNT.
There was no need for TV nonsense. El Tri just dropped their names on social networks because the only show people need to watch is how the fans complain about Tata Martino's players' selection.
Después de pelarse las piernas eliminando a Cristiano Ronaldo, Héctor Herrera y sus compañeros en el Atlético de Madrid sueñan más que nunca con la posibilidad de ganar la Champions League. La tarea no será simple, menos considerando los colosales obstáculos que aparecen a partir de los cuartos de final del torneo.
The planets aligned and will bring a lot of derbies around the world this weekend. Yes, you are probably very aware of El Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona on Sunday, but Spain is not the only country where the land will tremor with the passion of its fans.
Here is a list of the heated rivalries you will be able to witness, in chronological order.
Juan Dinenno scored twice in regulation and had the winning kick in a penalty shootout as Pumas pulled off a stunning comeback to beat the New England Revolution in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals on Wednesday in Mexico City.
Pumas won 3-0 on the night and then prevailed 4-3 in the shootout. The Revolution had won the first leg of the two-game, total-goal series 3-0 on March 9 in Foxborough, Mass.
Dinenno got Pumas on the board in the 33rd minute from short range, then slid for a right-footed finish in the 49th minute.
The last time I rolled out this USMNT striker depth chart/power rankings article was seven months ago. Despite including nine center forwards, Ricardo Pepi wasn't even on the list — the 18-year-old was still a week away from receiving his first senior call-up, and things really escalated quickly from there.
24 matches played, 24 matches won, 136 goals scored, six conceded and one Primera División title secured with six games still remaining. There's no stopping Barcelona Femení in Spain now after the team's 5-0 beatdown of Real Madrid at Estadi Johan Cruyff on Sunday, and it'll again be Real Madrid that's tasked with stopping Barça in Europe when the two sides square off in the Champions League quarterfinals later this month.
Chivas mereció más, pero al final no pudo pasar del 0-0 ante América, en una nueva edición del Clásico Nacional del fútbol mexicano.
A la hora de justificar el par de rosquillas, los únicos culpables que se vienen a la cabeza son los postes que dejaron el grito de gol atrapado en las gargantas de los Chivahermanos.
Cruz Azul dio fin a una racha de tres partidos sin victorias de local en el Estadio Azteca faenándose por 2-1 a los Pumas de la UNAM.
El duelo fue apretado. No solo por la rivalidad latente entre ambos clubes, sino que también por el desarrollo del juego. Sin embargo, La Máquina eventualmente encontraría la contraseña del triunfo gracias a una hermosa tijera del paraguayo Juan Escobar.
The show must go on, and Liga MX is ready to resume after the shocking brawl between Querétaro and Atlas fans on Saturday. Matchday 10 will start on Friday, curiously, with Querétaro visiting Necaxa with closed doors. There will be a few other thrilling matchups like the one between Cruz Azul and Pumas, but there is no doubt that the main course will be the Clásico Nacional between Chivas and América.
Sebastian Lletget opened the scoring in the first half and Adam Buksa added two second-half goals as the New England Revolution routed Mexico's Pumas 3-0 on Wednesday in Foxborough, Mass., in the first leg of a CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal series.
The second leg of the total-goal series is scheduled for March 16 in Mexico City.
