NEW YORK — North America's historical ambivalence to soccer is no match for the spectacle of the 2026 World Cup, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said on Thursday, as he bids to make the world's "beautiful game" the preeminent sport in the region as well.
NEW YORK — Los Angeles, Toronto and Mexico City have been named among the host cities for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, marking the first time the tournament will be shared by three different countries.
World soccer governing body FIFA announced the 16 cities — 11 in the United States, three in Mexico and two in Canada — that were successful from the 22 bids put forward in a special event at the Rockefeller Center in New York on Thursday. However, there was no indication where the opening game or the final would be played.
Haji Wright was only given 119 minutes for the USMNT across four games this June and it appears he won’t get anymore anytime soon. Wright featured in the first half of Tuesday’s mud-fest against El Salvador and after the game USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter said he wasn’t pleased with what he saw.
The look of surprise, nay, disbelief, is what I remember most. A towering 6-4 frame had just headed in his first career international goal, and it couldn’t have come at a more important moment. On the eighth anniversary of his goal against Ghana, we have to wonder if John Brooks will ever get another chance on the world stage.
On July 6, this summer's biggest international tournament gets underway across England as 16 nations compete for the 2022 European Women's Football Championship.
Beginning July 6 in England, UEFA Women's Euro 2022 takes center stage this summer as football's biggest international tournament. With well over half the match tickets already sold — including all 90,000 for the Wembley final — it's going to be a thrilling month, but how to watch UEFA Women's Euro 2022 on TV in USA?
The draw is complete and we now know the USWNT schedule for the 2022 Concacaf W Championship in Monterrey, Mexico, which serves as the qualifying tournament for both the 2023 World Cup in Australia/New Zealand and the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
Australia’s backup goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne made himself a legend on Monday with his bizarre antics during a penalty shootout against Peru to send his country to the World Cup. We’ve now learned that he’s not crazy after a Redmayne water bottle incident with Peru’s goalkeeper was caught on camera.
Redmayne isn’t some bearded goof; he’s a cold and calculated evil villain. Every good story needs a villain.
El desabrido empate ante Jamaica significó el fin de una era en la selección mexicana. No la del Tata Martino, como muchos quisieran, pero de una que la gente igual venía pidiendo a gritos: la del Tri jugando sin su tradicional playera verde.
Según los registros estadísticos, el Tri encadenó un total de 59 partidos vistiendo de blanco o de negro y rosa, los uniformes alternativos del ciclo 2020-22.
I do not envy the USMNT kit person on Tuesday night. Let’s hope they brought plenty of stain remover.
Jordan Morris scored a 91st minute header as the USMNT salvaged a 1-1 draw with El Salvador in the Concacaf Nations League on Tuesday night at Estadio Cuscatlán in San Salvador. A bigger story than the result was the mess of a field the match was played on, with rain turning an already poor pitch into a cow pasture by the end of the night.
