Sunday night's Liga MX game between Pachuca and Tijuana at Estadio Hidalgo brought us 90 minutes full of goals, though mostly by the home team.
The Hidalguenses blew Xolos out of the water with a one-sided 6-1 victory — showing that Pachuca is a strong contender for the Liga MX title and that Tijuana is bound to miss out on the playoffs once again.
Leeds United are flying high after a fine start to the Premier League season but manager Jesse Marsch has told his squad to keep their feet on the ground and maintain their momentum if they are to stay in the top four.
Leeds convincingly beat Chelsea 3-0 last weekend to move up to third — two points behind leaders Arsenal — a position they will have to get used to after narrowly escaping relegation last season following Marsch's arrival in March.
They also beat Yorkshire neighbors Barnsley 3-1 on Wednesday to move into the third round of the League Cup.
Kansas City Current forward Lo’eau LaBonta went viral over the weekend after converting a sizzling penalty kick against Angel City during Friday’s 1-1 draw. The penalty was sweet, but it was the celebration from the 29-year-old that caught the internet’s attention. This LaBonta celebration is an all-timer.
With her team trailing in the 82nd minute LaBonta fired in the equalizer from the penalty spot and wheeled away in celebration. KC fans were given a slight heart attack when their team’s top goal scorer on the season started limping and grabbed at her hamstring.
Mauricio Pochettino has delivered his first public comments since being fired by Paris Saint-Germain on July 5 and immediately replaced with Christophe Galtier. The 50-year-old Argentine came out firing, questioning the point of a project that can't even generate enthusiasm around a league title or follow any sort of longterm sporting plan.
It all started with a throwaway line: "If anyone knows what a Xogg is, please get in contact with me," I wrote in an article about the best names of defunct American soccer teams back in April.
I pondered the absurdity of the Columbus Xoggz — a name without meaning that still captures the imagination of a soccer writer who wasn't even alive when the team played.
RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil manager Tite is excited by the rise of the young players who surged to stardom in European soccer last season and will be available for the national team in November when his side bid to win a record-extending sixth World Cup at the finals in Qatar.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said he was worried about his team's progress and concerned by his players' lack of commitment during their preseason tour of the United States after they slipped to a 4-0 defeat to Arsenal in Florida on Saturday.
Gabriel Jesus, Martin Ødegaard, Bukayo Saka and Albert Sambi Lokonga scored in a comfortable win at Orlando's Camping World Stadium as Arsenal rounded off their U.S. tour by winning all three of their matches.
Pep Guardiola es un hombre versado en torno al fútbol mundial, pero en la conferencia previa al amistoso entre el Manchester City y el América se le cruzaron los cables del ático y acabó haciendo una declaración imperdonable para los aficionados del equipo mexicano, al confundir a sus amadas Águilas con su máximo enemigo, las Chivas Rayadas de Guadalajara.
¡Ups!
Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant might be one of the most confident athletes on the planet. He believes in himself to the highest degree and so much so that he went on record to say that he could defeat Lionel Messi one-on-one in soccer.
The only caveat was that Morant wants to play goalkeeper when going up against Messi.
LA Galaxy and former USMNT midfielder Sacha Kljestan gave an emotional press conference on Monday after his team’s 4-0 victory against Montreal on Monday. Kljestan wasn’t in the mood to talk about the game and instead spoke on the tragic shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, which killed seven people and injured dozens.
Kljestan made it clear that he wasn’t talking as a politician but as a human being and a father. He wouldn’t stay to answer questions after talking for roughly two minutes.
