¡Grítalo Tecatito! Jesús Corona anota en su esperado retorno a las canchas

275 días después, Tecatito Corona volvió a las canchas y lo hizo con un gol.

El extremo mexicano marcó el tercero de los tantos con que el Sevilla venció al Real Valladolid por 3-0, en la Jornada 34 de LaLiga, y lo festejó con todo, en un momento que de seguro le puso la piel de gallina a varios.

Pogba's first start in over a year only serves to market Juve's new furry kit

Having just turned 30 back in March, Paul Pogba should be at the height of his powers in the Juventus midfield. But the Frenchman has been so riddled by injuries that Sunday's Serie A match between Juve and Cremonese at Allianz Stadium represented his first start since turning out for Manchester United against Norwich back in April of 2022.

For fans of the beautiful game, it's been a tremendous loss — the World Cup winner, when healthy and in form, is an otherworldly mezzala, capable of things his peers can only conjure in their imaginations. 

Best potential XI for USMNT’s Concacaf Nations League semifinal vs. Mexico in one month

The United States men’s national is set to face bitter rival Mexico in a month’s time in the Concacaf Nations League semifinal at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. With a litany of injuries to the team we felt that a potential USMNT starting XI vs Mexico was necessary.

Mexico and the U.S. faced off in a snooze fest with their B-teams in the Continental Clásico in April, but on June 15 the star players should be back on the field.

América mete un ala en semifinales pero termina con dos cracks en el hospital

El sueño de la 14 comenzó con sabor medianamente dulce para el América. Las Águilas vencieron de visita al Atlético de San Luis por 3-1 y tienen un ala dentro de las semifinales del Clausura 2023.

¿Qué evitó que fuera una noche perfecta? La expulsión de Israel Reyes y que dos de sus estrellas, Álvaro Fidalgo y Henry Martín, terminaron en el hospital y son duda para el duelo de revancha.

These tiny shin guards are ‘the smallest pads on the market’

Here at The18, we don't condone small shin guards (the tibia is more exposed than Leeds United's backline), but we certainly enjoy the roguish wild cards who risk it all in the name of comfort.

Chucky Lozano se lesiona una rodilla en los festejos del Napoli: Sintió "como si el hueso se hubiera salido"

Napoli celebró su flamante título en la Serie A derrotando 1-0 a Fiorentina junto a su gente, en el Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. La jornada fue una verdadera fiesta, aunque no del todo perfecta: Hirving Lozano sufrió una lesión de rodilla que no solo preocupa al campeón italiano, sino que también a la Selección Mexicana.

England’s World Cup dream takes another hit — Fran Kirby will undergo ACL surgery

England were handed another devastating blow after forward Fran Kirby said on Tuesday she will undergo knee surgery and miss the women's World Cup, adding to a growing list of players sidelined with knee injuries.

Jürgen Klopp pulls his hamstring celebrating winner in front of the fourth official

In a match best described as barely-believable, Liverpool took a 3-0 lead over Spurs inside 15 minutes on Sunday before Tottenham stunned Anfield with three of their own, culminating in Richarlison's equalizer at 90+3'.

But Diogo Jota earned all three points for Liverpool at 90+4', and in the ensuing bedlam manager Jürgen Klopp twanged his hamstring while pointedly celebrating the goal in the fourth official's face.

Warning: If you've pulled your hamstring before, this clip will conjure painful memories. You can almost feel this video. 

Tim Ream breaks arm against Manchester City

Fulham captain Tim Ream's season ended prematurely on Sunday as he suffered a broken arm in the 2-1 home defeat by Manchester City in the Premier League.

The American defender, who conceded a penalty to allow City's Erling Haaland to score early on, fell awkwardly after slipping and went off with his arm in a makeshift sling.

"It looked clear Tim Ream will not play for us this season, broken his arm," Fulham manager Marco Silva said.

Alan Pulido espanta la mala suerte y marca su primer gol en 20 meses

Veinte meses después, Alan Pulido se reencontró con el gol.

El delantero mexicano anotó en la victoria 3-0 del Sporting Kansas City sobre Tulsa Athletic en la U.S. Open Cup y terminó con una larguísima y maldita sequía de alegrías.

Pulido llegó al equipo estadounidense proveniente de Chivas, en 2019, a cambio de 9,5 millones de dólares y su aporte en principio no fue menor: 15 goles y ocho asistencias en 36 apariciones. Sin embargo, una serie de molestias y una operación de rodilla a principios de 2022 lo borraron de escena.
