Le vaya bien o le vaya mal al equipo, la afición del América siempre tiene uno o dos jugadores a los que no trata con mucho cariño. Recientemente, Miguel Layún y Bruno Valdez eran los blancos preferidos, pero con la salida del defensa paraguayo una nueva presa ha emergido: el chileno Diego Valdés.
La selección de Estados Unidos comienza a pensar en el Mundial de 2026 y este miércoles publicó su convocatoria para los amistosos que jugará a fines de enero ante Serbia y Colombia. La gran sorpresa de la lista – ¡vaya, vaya! – es la inclusión de cuatro seleccionables mexicanos, entre ellos el extremo del Club América, Alejandro Zendejas.
¿Los otros tres? El defensor Jonathan Gómez y los delanteros Brandon Vásquez y Cade Cowell.
De los cuatro nombres, el de Zendejas es el que hace más ruido.
U.S. Soccer made its debut on HBO Max Tuesday night with the USWNT beating New Zealand in a friendly in Wellington thanks to four second-half goals, including Alex Morgan's 120th international strike off a ridiculous Rose Lavelle backheel.
The Football Ferns were a little overmatched.
Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji said Marcus Rashford was clearly interfering with play in the lead-up to Manchester United's equalizer in their Premier League match on Saturday.
City defenders tracked Rashford's run from an offside position as he chased the ball for 30 yards before Bruno Fernandes stepped in at the last second to score.
The linesman raised his flag for offside but referee Stuart Attwell awarded the goal, allowing United to mount a comeback and win 2-1.
MANCHESTER — In-form Marcus Rashford scored a late winner as Manchester United came from behind to beat rivals Manchester City 2-1 on Saturday, dragging Erik ten Hag's rejuvenated side back into the Premier League title race sooner than anyone expected.
England forward Rashford completed the turnaround eight minutes from time to score for the seventh successive match in all competitions, the first United player to do so since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008.
Brazilian giant Flamengo played their first game of 2023 on Thursday night and took the chance to honor the memory of Pelé, who died on Dec. 29. Sadly, not everybody at the Maracanã Stadium showed due respect to O Rei, with a group of fans chanting and calling him a "pothead" during a customary minute of silence.
MEXICO CITY — FIFA sanctioned the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) for the offensive chants the country's fans made during their matches at last year's World Cup by ordering it to play a game behind closed doors and fined it $108,000.

Sydney Leroux has a history of going after trolls on the internet. Whether she’s making fun of former high school soccer boys on Instagram or responding directly to haters, she doesn’t let much slide.
La canción-factura de Shakira a Gerard Piqué se toma el debate en internet, la oficina y hasta en las comidas familiares. La Liga MX no es la excepción y prueba de ello es el tú a tú que tuvieron el entrenador del Cruz Azul, Raúl Gutiérrez, con el comentarista de TV y ex jugador de La Máquina, Emanuel Villa.
Cuarenta y tres días después de la triste, pero merecida eliminación en la primera vuelta de Catar 2022, la selección mexicana continúa sin DT.
Consumado el fracaso, la FMF decidió no renovarle a Gerardo Martino y desde entonces se ha abocado a la búsqueda de un nombre que sea capaz de liderar al Tri en sus próximos desafíos, entre ellos la Nations League de la Concacaf en marzo, la Copa de Oro en el verano de 2023 y el Mundial de 2026 que México organizará junto a Canadá y Estados Unidos.
