The 2021-22 UEFA Women's Champions League has already proven one of the most memorable editions yet as we approach the start of the quarterfinals on March 22. The implementation of a group stage for the first time highlighted the increasing competitiveness across Europe as Chelsea, last season's runner-up, was shockingly bounced and Arsenal was pushed to the brink.
Let preseason commence — an NWSL CBA has been ratified.
Hours before players were scheduled to report to preseason training camps, the NWSL and NWSLPA reached an agreement on the league’s first collective bargaining agreement, which averts a potential work stoppage right before the 2022 season. The NWSL CBA provides basic minimum standards of compensation and treatment, including paid mental health leave, free agency and no longer being forced to play on substandard fields.
Desirée Monsiváis es hasta ahora la única jugadora en la historia de la Liga MX Femenil en sobrepasar los 100 goles. Sin embargo, ese dato está a punto de quedar obsoleto debido al incansable apetito goleador de Katty Martínez.
Katty Killer marcó en la victoria 3-0 del América sobre el Necaxa y dejó su cuenta personal en 99 conquistas.
When Arsenal returns from a 2.5-week break on Feb. 10, Mikel Arteta’s side will focus solely on finishing in the Top 4 in the Premier League. Out of every other competition this season, the Gunners’ only goal now is returning to the Champions League for the first time since 2016-17, or at the very least making it back into the Europa League.
Charlyn Corral parece haberse enchufado finalmente al fútbol mexicano. La delantera de las Tuzas poco a poco empieza a lucir su legendario talento frente a las porterías rivales y hoy con un doblete ante el Toluca se puso al frente en la tabla de goleo de la Liga MX Femenil.
Corral llegó al Pachuca a mediados de 2021 y su primer torneo estuvo lejos de ser impresionate, anotando apenas cuatro conquistas. En su defensa, la jugadora venía saliendo de una larga lesión en una de sus rodillas.
Tecatito Corona y Orbelín Pineda no son los únicos futbolistas mexicanos que pueden considerar España su nuevo hogar. Esta última semana, la lateral Sofía Álvarez y la arquera Itzel González dejaron los pastos de la Liga MX Femenil y se incorporaron a LaLiga Iberdrola, donde defenderán al Valencia y al Sevilla, respectivamente.
Los traspasos son importantes en una dimensión personal para ambas jugadoras, pero también ayudan a la Liga MX Femenil -creada hace apenas cinco años- a consolidarse como una vitrina sólida para llegar a Europa.
Australia head coach Tony Gustavsson said pressure will be mounting on him after the Matildas were knocked out of the Women's Asian Cup on Sunday following their shock quarterfinal defeat by South Korea.
Joint-favorites Australia crashed out of the continental tournament after Chelsea midfielder Ji So-yun scored with two minutes remaining to earn the Koreans a 1-0 victory in Pune.
One of U.S. soccer’s greatest strikers is hanging up her boots to join the coaching ranks. Amy Rodriguez, who won at every level, retired from the NWSL on Friday to join her alma mater, USC, as an assistant coach.
A-Rod, as the 34-year-old is affectionately known, won an NCAA title with USC, two Olympic gold medals and the 2015 Women’s World Cup. She led FC Kansas City to back-to-back NWSL titles, scoring 64 goals in 160 matches in her professional career.
Most people would think of ice hockey as the most popular sport in Canada, and in a sense, you wouldn't be wrong. Hockey is among the most common Canadian stereotypes, along with maple syrup, Tim Hortons and those great Candian accents (oh yah?).
At the professional sports level, this assumption holds true as well. Canada has seven teams in the NHL versus a combined five teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB and MLS.
