Looking at North Macedonia's obscure warmups heading into its match against Ukraine, there is no surprise it later lost. As fun as it looked, with the players racing up the pitch and passing the ball between each other using upturned cones, it didn't seem like the appropriate warmup for the Euro 2020 Group C match on Thursday.
Former Argentinian forward Gonzalo Higuaín had low expectations coming to MLS but now is learning to respect the competition. The 33-year-old exclaimed he expected to play with a cigarette in his mouth, it was going to be that easy.
Through seven matches in the 2021 MLS season, Higuaín has four goals and one assist. He was quoted on Christain Vieri's Twitch live stream a few days ago saying, "I thought I would come to MLS and play with a cigarette in my mouth and instead it is difficult."
A dangerous trend is taking place at the beginning of the Euros with some of the sponsors of the tournament. Brands that spend millions for the most important UEFA event at the national team level are being denigrated by soccer stars.

Hubo un tiempo en que era común ver a algún futbolista sin un par de dientes. Quizás por situación económica o simplemente porque la tecnología no estaba en un lugar como para ir y reemplazar una pieza perdida. Sin embargo, los años han pasado y hoy estamos en un momento en la historia de la humanidad en que los jugadores tienen sonrisas casi perfectas y hasta pueden darse el lujo de incrustarse diamantes en ellos.
Un ejemplo es Alexis Vega, delantero de las Chivas de Guadalajara, quien por estos días presume en redes sociales una brillante sonrisa con piedras preciosas.

Cristiano Ronaldo caught the world's attention this Monday, off the field. The Portuguese superstar had a surprising gesture before Portugal's press conference at the Euros.

Eslovaquia fue responsable de una de las primeras sorpresas de la Euro 2020. La victoria por 2-1 sobre Polonia seguro decepcionó a varios que pronosticaron el resultado opuesto, entre ellos el gato Aquiles, oráculo animal del torneo.
El felino pertenece al Museo Hermitage de San Petersburgo, en Rusia, y hasta hoy llevaba un cien por ciento de efectividad en sus predicciones. Le había acertado al triunfo de Italia sobre Turquía y el de Bélgica sobre Rusia.
Este lunes, en un partido que normalmente llama poco la atención mundial, como lo es un Escocia vs República Checa (seamos honestos), ha ocurrido quizás el mejor gol de la Euro 2020, uno que es raro de ver en torneos de alto nivel.
The U.S. men's national team defeated Mexico in a highly contested match on Sunday to win the CONCACAF Nations League, marking the country’s first competitive victory over its rivals since September 10th, 2013.
The fruitless streak continued so long that I personally graduated middle school, high school and was just one year away from graduating college before the U.S. was victorious again. Christian Pulisic, the American captain who scored the go-ahead goal, was just 14 years old when the U.S. last claimed victory.
