The USWNT just won a landmark settlement to end its long battle with U.S. Soccer for pay equity on Tuesday. On Wednesday night, many of those players were back using their platform to bring attention to another human rights issue: transgender rights.
Pudo ser Canadá, pudo ser Inglaterra, pero a fin de cuentas el destino de Tatiana y Silvana Flores parece estar ligado a la Selección Mexicana.
Al igual que su hermano Marcelo, el compromiso de las jugadoras con el Tri es más fuerte que nunca y prueba de ello es que ambas se entrenan con las selecciones juveniles de México, las cuales tendrán bastante acción en los próximos meses.
La misma federación compartió una imagen de ambas jugadoras en modo práctica y que disparó el orgullo de Rubén, el padre del clan Flores. "Mi corazón se derrite aquí", escribió en Twitter.
The women’s soccer world anxiously awaits the outcome of a much-needed investigation into widespread abuse of players in the National Women’s Soccer League.
USWNT stars have demanded answers. On Thursday, they got some, but they probably won’t appease immediate concerns over systemic abuse in women’s soccer.
Argentinian club Newell's Old Boys have always dreamed of seeing Messi wearing its No. 10 jersey. And that dream is kind of a reality these days.
The only thing is this Messi is not the global superstar Lionel but a young fellow named Joaquín. And that's the catch.
Joaquín Messi is part of the Newell's Old Boys team currently playing Copa Libertadores U-20, and his last name has promptly caught the attention of all those involved in the competition. And one of the first questions he is asked is if they are related.
Back in November, Rory Dames tried to quietly exit the NWSL with a press release hours before a Washington Post story outlined years of his alleged abuse of players while he coached the Chicago Red Stars. The allegations came from NWSL stars like Christen Press, one of the most recognizable players in league history.
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.
The São Paulo state football federation called for tough action on Sunday after the semifinal of its flagship youth tournament was interrupted when fans invaded the pitch and threatened Palmeiras players.
Only São Paulo supporters were allowed inside the ground for Saturday evening’s semifinal between São Paulo and Palmeiras in the hugely popular tournament for Under-20 players that takes place every January.
With their team trailing 1-0 in stoppage time at least two of them invaded the pitch and threatened Palmeiras players before being restrained.
Three days ago, The Mirror reported that scouts from Barcelona, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City were all at the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Junior Championships to watch 15-year-old Palmeiras phenom Endrick — who's already progressed to Brazil's U-20 squad and is spoken of in the same reverent tones that persuaded much of the globe to find an illegal stream of a Santos match to watch the prodigy known as Neymar.
Los aficionados mexicanos sueñan con ver a Marcelo Flores más seguido con el jersey del Tri. El jugador del Arsenal de 18 años ha mostrado un talento fuera de clase y que ilusiona a millones. Sin embargo, Marcelo no es el único miembro de su familia que promete alegrías para el fútbol azteca. También lo hacen sus hermanas Silvana y Tatiana.
Silvana, de 19 años, lleva un tiempo en el plantel del Tottenham; Tatiana, mientras tanto, comienza a brillar en la Sub-16 del Chelsea.
