The National Soccer Hall of Fame inducted its 2023 class and a belated member of the 2022 class with U.S. team members Landon Donovan and Hope Solo among the inclusions Saturday in Frisco, Texas.
The full list of athletes and contributors honored included Donovan, Solo, DaMarcus Beasley, Lauren Cheney Holiday, Kate Sobrero Markgraf, Jill Ellis and Slavisa "Steve" Zungul.
FC Groningen's relegation from the Eredivisie was confirmed Sunday following a 1-1 away draw at Go Ahead Eagles, although USMNT striker Ricardo Pepi provided a brief glimmer of hope (as he has all season) when he opened the scoring for the visitors in the sixth-minute.
This was Pepi's 12th goal of the campaign to go along with three assists, giving him 15 goal involvements in 26 games. The last 20-year-old to reach that benchmark for Groningen was one Luis Suárez, who scored 10 goals and created six more during the 2006-07 campaign.
Fulham captain Tim Ream's season ended prematurely on Sunday as he suffered a broken arm in the 2-1 home defeat by Manchester City in the Premier League.
The American defender, who conceded a penalty to allow City's Erling Haaland to score early on, fell awkwardly after slipping and went off with his arm in a makeshift sling.
"It looked clear Tim Ream will not play for us this season, broken his arm," Fulham manager Marco Silva said.
American internationals Ethan Horvath and Zack Steffen went toe-to-toe on Monday night with Horvath's Luton Town welcoming Steffen's Middlesbrough to Kenilworth Road in the EFL Championship, and let's just say that Matt Turner's standing as USMNT No.1 feels safe.
The stakes weren't especially high with Burnley and Sheffield United headed for automatic promotion to the Premier League while Luton and Middlesbrough have clinched their spots in the four-team playoffs, but the encounter was a possible preview of "the richest game in football" (the playoff final at Wembley).
The Brenden Aaronson Weston McKennie golf story was the funniest highlight of a 17-minute interview that Men in Blazers did with the Leeds duo and Fulham’s American pair of Tim Ream and Antonee Robinson.
Leeds United and Fulham are America’s favorite Premier League teams as both have multiple U.S. players on the roster. This Saturday the two clubs face off, brutally early at 7:30 a.m. ET, and fans got to see a four-player interview with the Americans.
During the interview Aaronson was asked if he’d ever seen McKennie lost for words. Then came the golf story.
Ya está. A los libros va otro partido en que México no pudo ganarle a Estados Unidos. El quinto consecutivo.
Sí, el Tri estuvo cerca, a un pelo. Sin embargo, los casi no valen en el fútbol. No alcanzan.
Sabemos también que la vida sigue, que para qué llorar sobre la leche derramada, pero antes de ir para adelante es bueno quizás compartir ideas que quedaron dando vueltas después de lo que se vió en el Clásico Continental de Glendale, Arizona.
If you only tuned into the last 10 minutes of the United States men’s national team's 1-1 draw vs. Mexico on Wednesday in the Continental Clásico friendly, then you saved yourself 80 minutes of suffering.
The USMNT made it five games in-a-row without a defeat to their archrivals thanks to a Jesús Ferreira equalizer in the 81st minute.
Before I tell you about how awful the rest of the game was, let’s enjoy the big highlight of the game.
México no puede con Estados Unidos. Ni en la Nations League, ni en la Copa Oro, ni en Eliminatorias ni en los amistosos moleros.
El Tri empató con el USMNT en Glendale, Arizona, y extendió a cinco el número de partidos en que no puede vencer a su más enconado rival. La última vez que lo hizo fue el 6 de septiembre de 2019, en tiempos donde la humanidad ni siquiera sabía de la existencia del COVID.
Qué tiempos aquellos.
Se acabó el cabeceo con la pizarra. Diego Cocca tendría definida la alineación de México para su amistoso contra Estados Unidos, a jugarse este miércoles 19 de abril en Glendale, Arizona.
Etiquetado como "Clásico Continental", el partido es el primero de Cocca al mando del Tri y el primero de al menos dos que jugarán ambas selecciones este 2023.
For the 11th time in 13 seasons (mercy me), Real Madrid are through to the Champions League semifinals after Rodrygo's second-half brace at Stamford Bridge put the finishing touches on a commanding 4-0 aggregate victory over Chelsea.
