Pocos jugadores en la historia del fútbol mexicano han creado tanta expectativa como Giovani dos Santos. Descubierto a temprana edad y adoctrinado en La Masía, fábrica de talentos del FC Barcelona, su límite parecían ser las estrellas. Hoy, sin embargo, el futbolista lucha por no quedar en el olvido y entregar su último rayo de luz antes del retiro.
The U.S. men’s national team is reaching levels we haven’t seen in 15 years, rising 10 spots in the latest FIFA rankings. Hopefully this current crop handles its high ranking better than the 2006 squad.
In December 2018, after more than a year without a coach, U.S. Soccer tapped Gregg Berhalter to lead the USMNT through the 2022 World Cup. Before he even took the field for his first training session, many American fans were unhappy with the hire. Now nearly three years later, is it OK to like what Berhalter is doing with the USMNT?
The USMNT put in a legendary performance on Sunday night to firmly stamp themselves as the kings of Concacaf with a 1-0 victory against Mexico to win the Gold Cup. I along with many critics doubted that this squad could get the job done. I have never been happier to be wrong.
Esta noche, México tenía una oportunidad de cobrarse revancha ante Estados Unidos y sepultar el amargo recuerdo que dejó la final de la Nations League, el pasado 6 de junio. Sin embargo, en el duelo por el título de la Copa Oro, el Tri volvió a pinchar.
Dolorosamente y a tres minutos del final de la prórroga, el USMNT logró la victoria con un cabezazo letal del zaguero Miles Robinson.
¡Goooooooooool del Team USA! ⚽
In the end it was only fitting that the two players who’d combined time after time to crush the spirits of the hugely pro-Mexico crowd inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas ultimately delivered the fatal blow for the USMNT in Sunday’s Gold Cup final.
Kellyn Acosta was sensational for the U.S. in midfield over 120 minutes, and it was his delivery in the 117th-minute of extra time that found center back Miles Robinson, who’d been just as good anchoring the Americans’ backline.
Hello and welcome to our prematch coverage of the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup Final between the USMNT and Mexico in Las Vegas, Nevada. With kickoff set for 9 p.m. ET on FS1, Univision and TUDN, this is going to be a rowdy night in every sense of the word.
Gyasi Zardes' goal in the 86th minute sent the U.S. men's national team to the final of the CONCACAF Gold Cup after a 1-0 semifinal victory against Qatar in Austin, Texas, on Thursday.
Zardes entered the match in the 63rd minute and the Columbus Crew forward scored his 14th international goal off a counter after pressure created a turnover.
¡Uff! México está en la final de la Copa Oro, luego de vencer a Canadá por 2-1, en un partido que fue una verdadera travesía emocional.
No solo porque se definió en el minuto 99, con un zurdazo casi milagroso de Héctor Herrera, sino que también por la lamentable muerte de Zizinho dos Santos, ex jugador que hizo fama en la Liga MX y padre de Giovanni y Jonathan dos Santos. Este último es parte del plantel del Tri y en vez de abandonar la concentración, decidió jugar el partido para rendir tributo a su progenitor.
Mention the name "Qatar" to a soccer fan and you are bound to hear (justified) grumblings about oil money, bribery and the thousands of immigrant workers that have died during preparations for the 2022 World Cup.
