El tren de lamentos del fútbol mexicano continúa. A todas las miserias que conocemos del Tri varonil y el fracaso de la Sub-20, ahora hay que sumar el decepcionante debut de la selección femenil ante Jamaica en el Campeonato W de la Concacaf.
A new dawn is on the horizon. Necaxa and Toluca will be in charge of kickstarting a new season of Mexican soccer on Friday. Of course, the Apertura 2022 will bring new hopes, new faces and many other new things. And to celebrate it, here we come with our new and unique round of Liga MX predictions.
The coaching carousel at Paris Saint Germain spins on. Though nothing has been finalized at the moment, Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly out at PSG after just one full season at the club, having failed to bring the Parisians the Champions League glory ownership so desperately craves. Pochettino’s replacement is reportedly the man who beat him to the Ligue 1 title in 2021, though relatively little is known about him internationally. Who is Christophe Galtier? Will he fare any better than his predecessors?
Heading toward the World Cup, the USMNT needed to do something drastic to alter its approach to set pieces.
In the 14-game qualifying cycle, the U.S. managed only three goals from set pieces. They all came in a single match — the 3-0 victory over Honduras in Minnesota. It's also worth noting that Kellyn Acosta, the best dead ball specialist in the squad, provided the service on all three and is expected to start on the bench in Qatar as Tyler Adams' backup.
Some huge news out of Barcelona on Tuesday as it's been confirmed that Sergi Barjuán, one year into his two-year deal, has been relieved of his duties as manager of Barcelona Atlètic (the Barça B team). According to MARCA, he'll be replaced by former Barcelona defender and Mexico international Rafa Márquez.
A falta de gol y de delanteros que pasen por buen momento, la polémica naturalización de extranjeros se ha convertido en algo nuevamente relevante para la selección mexicana. A menos de cinco meses para el inicio de la Copa del Mundo, las opciones de "9" en el Tri siguen siendo una incertidumbre y, como consecuencia, la naturalización de delanteros aparece como una posible solución.
The Mexican women's soccer team unveiled its roster for the upcoming Concacaf W Championship, a tournament delivering four direct tickets for the 2023 World Cup and two for the 2024 Olympics Games. El Tri is part of Group A alongside Jamaica, Haiti, and the USWNT.
Yeah, baby! México vs. The United States.
After a teary retirement announcement on TV a few weeks ago, Carlos Tevez got his first job as head coach. Starting this Tuesday, el Apache will manage Rosario Central in the Argentinian first division.
Ryan Giggs confirmed on Monday that he has resigned as coach of Wales' national team.
The former Manchester United winger is awaiting trial after being charged with controlling and coercive behaviour and assault against his ex-girlfriend and her sister.
Giggs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains on bail. The trial at Manchester Crown Court had been due to start on Jan. 24, but has been delayed until Aug. 8 — a factor that lead to the 48-year-old deciding to step down now.
Luego de renunciar a la banca del UD Levante por "motivos personales", el español Ángel Villacampa se convirtió en el nuevo entrenador del América Femenil.
Con varias medallas y escarapelas al pecho, la misión de Villacampa será potenciar uno de los planteles más talentosos de la Liga MX y hacer olvidar el decepcionante Clausura 2022 junto al inglés Craig Harrington, en el cual las azulcrema quedaron eliminadas en cuartos de final.
