México Le Hizo Una Manita A Trinidad Y Tobago En Medio De Un Barrial

Pese al barrial en que quedó convertido el campo del Estadio Francisco Morazan de Honduras, la selección mexicana arrolló a Trinidad y Tobago en el premundial de la Concacaf. 

La victoria por 5-0 fue inapelable y – a falta de un partido en la fase de grupos ante Haití – metió al Tri en la segunda ronda de un torneo que da cuatro boletos al Mundial de Indonesia 2023 y dos a los Juegos Olimpicos de París 2024.

Across the United States, trans inclusion in sports has been a major topic of discussion.

Jack Crack: Watch 18-Year-Old McGlynn Smack 20-Yard Rocket For USMNT U-20s

This year, however, we’ve got to wait until November for the World Cup to begin. After a June men’s international window and ahead of a women’s international window, we’re at a bit of a dearth in soccer action around the world. 

Freestyler Who Nutmegged Kevin De Bruyne Also Took Out An Entire Youth Team

Football freestyler Martijn Debbaut went viral in June after a video was posted of him nutmegging Kevin de Bruyne. The freestyler and TikTok star has been taking the ankles and souls of his victims for years now and people are uncovering his older videos.

One video of Debbaut going against KRC Genk’s youth team is making the rounds again. Why this video is back in the spotlight is up for debate. 

Is it the hilarious reactions of the kids as their teammates get megged? Or is it the ridiculous skill of Debbaut? Hard to say, but easy to watch.

Olivia Moultrie Sets Record For Youngest Goal Scorer In NWSL History

Last summer, Olivia Moultrie set the record as the youngest player in NWSL history, making her Portland Thorns debut at the tender age of 15.

Santi Muñoz Becomes The Movie Hero In Mexico's Third-Place Finish

Mexico and Newcastle real-life striker Santiago Muñoz has never been as close to emulating Mexico and Newcastle Goal! movie-character striker Santiago Muñez as he was this Sunday after becoming the hero in a 2-0 victory over Colombia.
