¿Dónde la mandaste, Bebote? El penal que falló Santi Giménez en la victoria de México sobre Surinam

Thu, 23 Mar 2023 - 21:11

Diego Cocca debutó con sonrisas al mando de la Selección Mexicana. El Tri sorteó con éxito su excursión a Surinam por la Liga de Naciones de la Concacaf e inició su regreso a casa con un saludable triunfo por 2-0 en las maletas.

Sin embargo, y no por ser aguafiestas, las formas dejaron una que otra duda. México sufrió con varios problemas de funcionamiento colectivo y también con una serie de errores individuales, coronados por un penal desperdiciado, ni más ni menos, por el delantero del momento, Santiago Giménez.

A Fernando Hernández, arquero de Raya2 en la Liga de Expansión, seguro no le fue fácil pegar los ojos la noche de este miércoles.

Mínimo.

For the third time in seven seasons, Minnesota United's home opener was played in snow. It wasn't nearly as cold as the infamous World Cup qualifier between the USMNT and Honduras at Allianz Field in February of last year, but Saturday's 30-degree weather and continuous flurries made for a sticky layer of snow outside of the well-maintained 18-yard boxes.

Leeds USA draw Brighton, but we need to talk about Brenden Aaronson’s poor form

Sat, 11 Mar 2023 - 11:30

Leeds United sit in the relegation zone after drawing Brighton 2-2 at Elland Road on Saturday. Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson started for Leeds while Weston McKennie came on as a second half substitute.

We’ll get to showing the highlights here in a bit, but first we need to discuss yet another lackluster performance from Aaronson. The American forward transferred to Leeds from Red Bull Salzburg before the 2022-23 season and he’s arguably been a bust.

Leeds reportedly paid $30 million for him and in return he has produced one goal and two assists in 29 appearances.

At one point Ronaldo could be seen making hand gestures to the Al-Ittihad fans expressing his displeasure with their chants.
