Mexico had a rough night against the United States in the Nations League on Thursday.
The USMNT completely dominated El Tri in a performance that would be hard to forget. However, beyond the tactic and strategic horrors of the squad managed by Diego Cocca, the worst part of the game was the incapacity of players and fans to accept the defeat with any sense of dignity.
La Selección Mexicana volvió a entregar una actuación paupérrima ante Estados Unidos.
Lo visto en Las Vegas por las semifinales de la Nations League fue tristísimo y pone el proceso de Diego Cocca en la unidad de cuidados intensivos.
En el entorno del Tri, la idea era tansformar la selección de cara al Mundial 2026 después del fracaso en Catar 2022. Pero apenas cinco meses después, todo está en ruinas.
Y nada parece describir la crisis que vive El Tri que seguir dependiendo de jugadores como Uriel Antuna.
The United States men’s national team dominated Mexico in the Concacaf Nations League semifinal with a 3-0 victory. What should have been a moment to celebrate was disgraced by fights between players and repeated homophobic chants from Mexican fans.
Before we get into the disgusting ending of the game, let’s take a quick look at the highlights.
2023 has been a disastrous year for LA Galaxy. The team sits last in the MLS Western Conference and was recently kicked out of the US Open Cup. On top of that, their staff doctors told the squad on Friday that captain and main striker, Javier Hernández, will miss the rest of the season due to an ACL injury.
Oh, rats!
AC Milan's Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimović said on Sunday he had decided to end his playing career at the age of 41 after a trophy-laden career at some of Europe's top clubs.
The extrovert Swede's Milan contract expires at the end of June and will not be renewed following a season plagued by injuries, prompting him to end a remarkable career.
Ibrahimović arrived in Milan for his second spell with the club in early 2020, having won the Scudetto with them in 2011, and helped the club win the title again last season.
MADRID - Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema will leave Real Madrid as a free agent in the close season after 14 trophy-laden years, the LaLiga club said on Sunday, with the striker set to move to Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad.
Saudi Arabia's state-run Al Ekhbariya television station reported that Al Ittihad had reached an agreement with Benzema on a two-year contract, with club officials in Madrid to hammer out a "record deal" with the striker.
PSG goalkeeper Sergio Rico is fighting for his life.
The shot-stopper is in intensive care at a hospital in his native Spain following an unfortunate horse-riding accident over the weekend. According to the doctors, Rico's situation is so very delicate that his wife, Alba Silva, posted a heartbreaking message on Instagram, praying for his recovery.
"Don't leave alone because I swear I can't and I don't know how to live without you. We are waiting for you," Silva wrote.
César Montes lo dio todo. Cada gramo de sudor y hasta un par de cabezazos que parecían heroicos. Sin embargo, entre el VAR y un gol a los 90+3' del Valencia, el Cachorro no pudo evitar el dramático descenso del Espanyol.
Los periquitos igualaron 2-2 con el equipo che y a una jornada pendiente, las matemáticas simplemente no alcanzan para la salvación. C'est fini.
Ante Valencia, Montes dio esperanzas.
I'll be honest, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about how we don't have promotion/relegation in the United States. I guess I've become numb to the discussion since it seems like it's never happening. But it's days like Sunday, with Everton, Leicester and Leeds dancing with the devil for the safety of 17th-place, when it's just unfathomable that we don't get to enjoy this spectacle stateside.
Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr could not resist the temptation to sign five-times Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo in January, but although the prolific Portuguese forward scored an impressive number of goals, they finished the season empty-handed.
Ronaldo's hopes of silverware ended on Saturday as Al-Ittihad clinched the league title for the first time since 2009 with one match to spare.
