Santi Giménez se metió de lleno en la pelea por un cupo en el Mundial de Catar 2022, luego de anotar uno de los goles con que la selección mexicana derrotó a Nigeria, en el comienzo de una serie de amistosos y partidos oficiales por la Nations League de Concacaf que tendrá el Tri en los próximos 15 días.
Until recently, Roman Abramovich was living the high life. Owner of the world’s best soccer team (Chelsea won the Champions League in May and Club World Cup in February), the Russian oligarch boasted a personal net worth close to $8 billion. That’s all changed in the weeks since Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, with Abramovich’s assets frozen and Chelsea forcibly put up for sale. Now there are reports saying Abramovich was poisoned while representing Russia in peace talks.
México hizo el trabajo que tenía que hacer y con una victoria por la cuenta mínima venció a Honduras en San Pedro Sula y quedó a un punto de asegurar sus pasajes al Mundial de Catar 2022.
No hubo jogo bonito ni muchos elementos a destacar dentro del Tri, al punto que el gol del triunfo fue una conquista en propia meta de Júnior Lacayo y que Edson Álvarez por alguna razón que no comprendemos celebró como si hubiera sido suyo.
BAMAKO — Mali defender Moussa Sissako scored a first-half own goal and was sent off four minutes later to dent his country’s World Cup qualifying hopes as they lost 1-0 at home to Tunisia in Friday’s first leg of their playoff tie.
The 21-year-old Sissako, making his fourth appearance for Mali, put the ball in his own net with a back pass in the 36th minute which caught goal keeper Ibrahim Mounkoro off his line.
New Zealand defender Meikayla Moore scored three goals — for the U.S. women's national team — and the Americans won in a bizarre manner, 5-0, in Carson, Calif., on Sunday in their second match of the SheBelieves Cup.
The Americans, who tied the Czech Republic 0-0 in their tourney opener on Thursday, got all the help they needed when Moore had own goals in the 5th, 6th and 36th minutes.
To my knowledge, there's been one hat-trick of own goals in football history (although even that's disputed). On Sunday, USWNT fans were witness to a second.
New Zealand's Meikayla Moore, who plays her club ball for Liverpool and was receiving her 50th cap on Sunday, put the ball into her own net three times in 36 minutes during the Football Ferns' SheBelieves Cup match against the USWNT.
Santiago Solari respira. El Club América rompió una racha de 112 días sin triunfos, luego de vencer a domicilio a un cada vez más debilucho Santos Laguna.
El partido ofreció una amplia gama de emociones, con cinco goles y hasta un par de ásperos momentos que quedaron marcados especialmente en la cara del mediocampista Álvaro Fidalgo
El jugador español de Las Águilas recibió un fuerte codazo de Alan Cervantes en la primera mitad del encuentro. La acción - que apenas se castigó con tarjeta amarilla - fue dura y le abrió el labio.
A ridiculous Tottenham own goal helped Chelsea to a 2-0 victory in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal. Ben Davies is the unlucky fellow credited for the own goal. There wasn’t much he could do after his fellow defender Japhet Tanganga headed the ball directly into Davies before nestling into the Tottenham net.
A crazy own goal.

Más allá de su reciente regreso a la Selección de Colombia, hay poco fútbol en la vida de James Rodríguez por estos días. El mediocampista del Al-Rayyan, en Catar, está suspendido por insultar a un árbitro luego de una falta que le cometieron y en la sección de noticias de los portales noticiosos su nombre solo hace ruido en las columnas de chisme. Desde los rumores a que era el rey de la fiesta en el Bayern Munich a su nuevo look de pelo calipso, similar al de Karol G, la cantante con quien la prensa rosa lo vincula románticamente.
Often called "The World's Game," soccer is a ubiquitous sport that is often loved for its distinct regional flavor. Brazilians love to dribble, Englishmen relish a crunching tackle and the Italians always prize their gamesmanship.
Fans from all of these countries can appreciate — in varying degrees — a fingertip save, a great dribbling move or a top-corner goal. The responses to those plays sometimes differ, but few events in a match can elicit the type of feelings that consistently follow an absurd own goal.
