Jack Grealish unintentionally manifested Miguel Almirón’s prime into existence

Jesse Marsch leads the EPL ‘sack race’ — can he save his job against Liverpool?

When the final whistle sounds Saturday evening at Anfield following Leeds United's trip to Liverpool, there's a very real chance that Jesse Marsch could be out of a job if the Whites lose.

BUENOS AIRES - Argentina's self-styled "first fan" Marcelo Martinez is so keen to see Lionel Messi and teammates at the World Cup that he arrived in Qatar six months early.

The first traveling Argentinian fan — and possibly the first visiting fan full stop — flew into Doha on May 3 with his blue-and-white wig, and has been having a blast ever since.

"Wonderful things have been happening," said the 54-year-old lawyer, who has found plenty of Qataris and expatriates sporting Argentina shirts. "They all love Messi and Argentina here."

Una sacada de lengua: La razón de la bronca de Emilio Lara tras la eliminación del América

Una vez consumada la victoria del Toluca y la eliminación del América del Apertura 2022, Emilio Lara estaba fuera de control. El joven defensa de Las Águilas era una bola de rabia y estuvo a punto de armar una bronca monumental con los Diablos.

Varias imágenes mostraron a Lara tratando de ir a buscar pleito, pero siendo detenido en el acto por sus compañeros y también por el arquero choricero, Tiago Volpi.

¿Qué lo tenía tan ofuscado?
