It'll be a fascinating matchup with the Samurai Blue fielding the likes of Schalke's Maya Yoshida, Monaco's Takumi Minamino, Arsenal's Takehiro Tomiyasu and Real Sociedad's Takefusa Kubo, while the U.S. is looking for some reassurances from its banner carriers (the goalkeeper position, Christian Pulisic).

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 - 15:18

Carlos Acevedo y Marcelo Flores son los grandes ausentes de la convocatoria de México para los próximos duelos amistosos ante Perú (24 de septiembre) y Colombia (27 de septiembre). 

La omisión de ambos no es menor considerando que la nómina corresponde a la última fecha FIFA antes de la Copa del Mundo. Frente a esto, no son pocos los que ven la ausencia como una señal de que tanto el arquero de Santos Laguna como el extremo del Real Oviedo – dos favoritos de la afición – no estarán en la lista final de Gerardo Martino rumbo a Catar.

Megan Rapinoe Shows Exactly Why She Still Has A Big Role To Play For The USWNT

Tue, 6 Sep 2022 - 18:04

Megan Rapinoe is no longer a starter for the USWNT. Mallory Pugh has made the left flank her own, and it was the 24-year-old Chicago Red Stars forward who forced the opener on Tuesday night against Nigeria at Audi Field with a low cross that resulted in an own goal from the Super Falcons.

However, after Nigeria had surprisingly found an equalizer in the 50th minute through Tigres forward Uchenna Kanu, it was Rapinoe's introduction in the 65th that brought the crowd back to life before her quality in the final third restored the USWNT's advantage just one minute later.

Thu, 1 Sep 2022 - 12:20

Las esperanzas de que México haga un buen Mundial en Catar andan por los suelos. Y la derrota 1-0 ante Paraguay en un amistoso jugado en Atlanta, la noche del miércoles, fue un cachetazo a los pocos optimistas que van quedando.

El traspié ante los guaraníes además dejó un dato preocupante: el Tri lleva más de tres años sin vencer a una selección CONMEBOL y eso no es muy alentador considerando que uno de los rivales en la fase de grupos en la Copa del Mundo es Argentina, potencia de la región.
