América fans were fuming last weekend after a painful 3-0 defeat vs. Pachuca. The azulcremas had a terrible display in the Azteca Stadium and supporters showed their discontent by booing goalkeeper Óscar Jiménez and chanting against coach Fernando Ortiz.
I've been there. Trying to silence a bunch of raucous kids in a classroom is a Herculean task. However, a teacher in Argentina might have found a perfect method to achieve it. And she was generous enough to share her secret with other colleagues on a TikTok video.
A hint? All she had to do was mention Lionel Messi.
As one of the oldest operating professional clubs in the United States, the Charleston Battery had to celebrate their 30th anniversary (founded in 1993) with something special.
The club has entered a new era under the ownership of Rob Salvatore, highlighted by a move to Patriots Point Soccer Complex and the recent hiring of 2022 USL Championship Coach of the Year Ben Pirmann. These are exciting times for the Black and Yellow, and now the team has one of the year's best kits.
FIFA's appointment of supermodel Adriana Lima as its global fan ambassador in a Women's World Cup year is "baffling" and sends the wrong message to players and fans, former FIFA Council member Moya Dodd said.
Brazilian Lima will "develop, promote and participate in several global initiatives" in her role as FIFA's first global fan ambassador, the governing body said in a statement on Monday.
France captain Wendie Renard said on Friday that she will not play at this year's Women's World Cup to preserve her mental health, with fellow internationals Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidiatou Diani following suit.
Renard, who is widely considered to be one of the best defenders in women's football, played for France in international games against Norway, Denmark and Uruguay earlier this month.
She has 142 caps for France and plays for French side Olympique Lyonnais.
MADRID - Spain's most capped player Sergio Ramos announced his international retirement on Thursday after being told by new coach Luis de la Fuente that he was not part of his plans.
The 36-year-old Paris St Germain defender, who won the World Cup in 2010 as well as two European Championships, has not played for Spain since March 2021, yet said he should have been given the chance to show he could still be of service to his country.
Polarizing soccer pundit Alexi Lalas ruffled feathers in the USMNT sphere after sharing his opinion about the midfield duo of Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie. Lalas doesn’t seem to be a fan of their physical approach in the Premier League.
Adams and McKennie have only played four EPL games together at Leeds United and have already earned a name for themselves. We at The18 refer to them as the ‘Premier League Bad Boys’ due to their hard tackles and how they never back down from a fight.
Zlatan Ibrahimović is one of the world's most brazenly outspoken footballers, and as a result of that he's also one of the most widely publicized. However, the 41-year-old maintains a largely anonymous private life, spending much of his offseason time in Malmö with longtime partner Helena Seger and their two sons Maximilian (age 16) and Vincent (age 14).
Tigres no pudo contra FC Juárez en El Volcán y debió conformarse con un amargo 0-0 en la J7 del Clausura 2023. La historia pudo ser diferente para los felinos, pero una inoportuna acción de Luis Quiñones arruinó un gol seguro de André-Pierre Gignac y terminó por quitarle la victoria al cuadro regio.
La jugada en cuestión se produjo en el minuto 68, cuando Gignac conectó un centro de Fernando Gorriarán al segundo palo. El francés cabeceó el balón y le dio una parábola perfecta para superar a Alfredo Talavera.
Miguel Herrera está de regreso como director técnico en los Xolos de Tijuana y en el inicio de su segunda etapa con el club fronterizo nos ha hecho recordar un momento clásico de su carrera: la vez que se fue expulsado por pellizcar a un árbitro.
En el partido de vuelta de los cuartos de final del Apertura 2016 entre Tijuana y León, el equipo de Miguel Herrera buscaba revertir un resultado de 3-0 que arrastraba del partido de ida en el Nou Camp.
