The USWNT unceremoniously dumped Mexico from 2023 Women’s World Cup contention on Monday night, securing a late 1-0 win in Nuevo León in front of a 2022 Concacaf W Championship-best crowd of 20,522.
Mexico needed a miracle to keep its World Cup hopes alive.
It never came.
Kristie Mewis scored a controversial goal in the 89th minute to finally break the deadlock as the U.S. beat Mexico 1-0 to officially end La Tri’s 2023 World Cup aspirations on Monday in Nuevo León. The USWNT claimed first place in Group A having already clinched World Cup qualification on Thursday at the Concacaf W Championship.
The USWNT is cruising right through the Concacaf W Championship. A pair of early Sophia Smith worldies helped the two-time defending world champion smoke Jamaica 5-0 on Thursday in Mexico. The result clinched a spot in the 2023 Women’s World Cup while inching the team closer to a spot in the 2024 Olympics.
In an exclusive interview with The18, Landon Donovan and Jordan Morris share some of their passions and best memories of the sport. They talk about the small things that make pro players stand out, including how important belief, consistency, and a good diet are in their careers! We also had them try some interesting peanut butter snacks to see how they’d react.
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! ⚽
Talavera se equivoca en la salida y los Estados Unidos ponen el primero a minutos del final.
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.
