El hashtag #FMFMachista ha sido tendencia en redes sociales en los últimos días, luego de que el organismo rector del fútbol mexicano deslizara seriamente la posibilidad de que el Tri Femenil sea quien pague el castigo impuesto por la FIFA de jugar sin público, ante los reiterados gritos homófobicos que se escuchan en los partidos de la selección masculina.
Brasil logró una apretada victoria por 1-0 sobre Chile y avanzó a los cuartos de final de la Copa América 2021. La conversación global, sin embargo, no gira en torno a las dificultades que tuvo la canarinha para conseguir el triunfo, sino que a la monumental patada voladora que Gabriel Jesus le dio al defensor de La Roja, Eugenio Mena.
Con toda seguridad, la entrada más violenta en todo el torneo.
Cuando Francia gana, la vida es color de rosa. Pero basta un pequeño tropiezo para tener que ir a buscar un balde de palomitas y ver el drama que se desencadena.
Pasó con el boicot de los jugadores a Raymond Domenech, en pleno Mundial de Sudáfrica 2010; con el supuesto chantaje sexual que involucró a Mathieu Valbuena y Karim Benzema, que dejó a este último seis años fuera de Les Bleus; y ahora con la masiva pelea entre la madre de Adrien Rabiot y las familias de Paul Pogba y Kylian Mbappé, tras la sorpresiva eliminación de Francia en la Euro 2020.
When you look at the Chile national team, one player might appear out of place. Ben Brereton is not your usual Chilean; he doesn’t even speak Spanish, the primary language spoken by the rest of the team. The English-Chilean forward had played with England's U19 and U20 national teams for almost five years before switching to Chile's squad this year for the Copa América.
While the Euros roll on through the knockout rounds, we have plenty of wild fan interactions already. From fans showing up to support their team in the wrong country to pitch invaders wielding rainbow flags, anything goes as fans are enjoying their time back. Football fans were kept from stadiums and fully supporting their teams for over a year by the Covid-19 pandemic, diminished to yelling at screens instead of faces, so we wouldn't expect anything less extravagant than what has been happening. Let's take a look at the best Euro 2020 fans so far.
The Round of 16 duel between Sweden and Ukraine finished with the underdogs Ukraine claiming a 2-1 victory. A disturbing Artem Besyedin injury in extra time put a major damper on the mood.
Swedish defender Marcus Danielson was rightfully shown a red card after VAR review for an extremely high and dangerous tackle on Besyedin.
I said that Spain and Croatia had the greatest game in the tournament so far. I retract that statement.
France and Switzerland battled late into the Bucharest night to tie 3-3 and Switzerland won on penalties 5-4. The massive upset has some critics looking at Kylian Mbappe.
What. A. Game.
Spain and Croatia played the most entertaining game of Euro 2020 so far with a spectacular 5-3 victory in extra time for the 2010 World Cup champions.
The crazy tone for the game was set 20 minutes in when Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón made one of the biggest mistakes in the tournament so far. The own goal was officially given to Pedri who can now claim the honor of the longest own goal in Euro history.
This Spain own goal vs Croatia is going to go down as the craziest mistake of Euro 2020.
Spain had their metaphorical hand snatched on Croatia’s scruff for the opening 20 minutes of Monday’s Round of 16 clash. Sitting in almost total control, the only worry for Spain was a Croatia counterattack. Or so they thought.
If someone watching the game looked away for a split-second, they would have missed this unbelievable error from Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón. A simple back pass from Pedri turned disastrous.
Belgium forward Romelu Lukaku had fans ask him questions on Twitter and his responses display just why we love him. He replied to dozens of questions, including sharing his biggest motivation and even firing back at some haters, making this thread a must-see. As he lights up the pitch at Euro 2020, we look at the highlights from the Lukaku Q&A to get to know one of our favorite stars even more.
