Jugador con más partidos en selección

Después de las penas y frustraciones que dejó el paso de Portugal en el Mundial de Catar, el futuro internacional de Cristiano Ronaldo estuvo en el aire.

Es hora de ponerle punto final al duelo y olvidar todo lo que pasó en Catar 2022. La era de Diego Cocca al mando de la Selección Mexicana y el proceso al Mundial 2026 comienzan este jueves (8 p.m. ET) con una visita a Surinam por la Liga de Naciones de la Concacaf.

La gran pregunta alrededor del duelo es cuál será el equipo que parará Cocca en su debut con el Tri.

Argentina worships Leo Messi. It always has been the case, but after the World Cup title, the adoration only multiplied. The love, the obsession, it's so unleashed that when people found out he was eating at a steakhouse in Buenos Aires on Monday night, hundreds gathered around the restaurant to chant his name and police had to come to keep everybody safe.

Portugal have recalled Diogo Jota to their squad after the forward missed the World Cup through injury while Cristiano Ronaldo was also included on Friday by new coach Roberto Martinez for their Euro 2024 qualifiers this month.

Former France national team star Thierry Henry, who has ties to MLS as a coach and player, has expressed interest in the United States men's national team coaching vacancy, ESPN reported Thursday.

Henry, 45, scored 51 goals in 123 games for France from 1997-2010 and played in the World Cup four times. A star for clubs like Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal and Barcelona in Europe, Henry played 122 games for the New York Red Bulls from 2010-14.

KIGALI - Prize money for the 2023 Women's World Cup will be $150 million, 10 times what it was in 2015 and three times the amount of 2019, FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced in his closing remarks to the 73rd FIFA Congress on Thursday.

The figure, however, is still considerably lower than the $440 million total prize money awarded at the men's World Cup in Qatar last year.

In what would be a first for women, Infantino wants some of the prize money to go to the players.
