One player dominated the headlines after Manchester United's match against Newcastle on Saturday: Cristiano Ronaldo. His two goals, thanks to two mistakes from Newcastle keeper Freddie Woodman, ensured a story book ending for his Old Trafford return.
The allure of the Premier League is in its blood and thunder approach. The incredible noise from the stands is replicated with a frantic energy on the pitch, where some of the players with the most red cards in Premier League history are also some of the most celebrated for their brave defending, box-to-box midfield play or aggressive attacking.
No sport punishes players for in-game infringements more harshly than soccer. Imagine if American football, basketball or baseball forced a team to play a man down because one player made an ill-advised foul or lost his cool at the wrong time. It all makes the most bizarre red card I’ve ever seen all the more painful, especially since it was kind of my fault.
Los partidos de clasificación para el Mundial de Qatar 2022 en Sudamérica se han visto sacudidos en las últimas horas por varios episodios que han catapultado los encuentros a los titulares del mundo.
A Lionel Messi le han pegado todo tipo de patadas durante su carrera, pero quizás pocas tan criminales como la que le aplicó Luis Adrián Martínez, en la visita de Argentina a Venezuela, en las eliminatorias mundialistas de la CONMEBOL.
En un enfrentamiento duro, sin muchos espacios, la Albiceleste trataba de lucir su chapa de campeón de América. Messi era el principal agente ofensivo, pero sin la chispa suficiente como para doblar la resistencia vinotinto.
El cambio, curiosamente, vino tras el violento foul que recibió Messi.
Toluca hoy devolvió a Pumas al país de las derrotas, en un 2-1 bastante atractivo.
El partido tuvo penales, tarjetas rojas y este golazo de taquito de Alexis Canelo.
Pumas había llegado al Nemesio Diez luego de haber conseguido su primer triunfo del torneo (un 2-0 sobre Puebla) y tenía toda la intención de seguir en racha.
Twitter and the internet are in flames right now over the Reece James red card incident against Liverpool during Saturday’s Premier League clash. Some fans are ready to jump through their TV screens and fist-fight referee Anthony Taylor, while others think the correct call was made.
Chelsea was leading 1-0 in what was arguably one of the most exciting games of the season so far. Then, just before halftime all hell broke loose after a Liverpool corner. Taylor would go to the VAR screen and look at one freeze-frame before deciding to send off James.
Despite being called “the beautiful game,” everyone loves an occasional brawl to spice matters up during a match. A Liga MX Femenil fight between Necaxa and Puebla on Monday might take the cake for best fight seen around the world during a professional soccer game in 2021.
First, let’s watch the fight and then I’ll explain the stakes of this game and analyze who shoved who.
Los Tigres del Miguel Herrera sumaron su segunda victoria consecutiva en la Liga MX. El cuadro felino ganó 3-0 al Mazatlán, en un resultado que estadísticamente parece un paseo, pero que terminó siendo bastante duro y amargo.
Primero porque Mazatlán apenas aflojó cuando se quedó con un hombre menos, por expulsión de Richard Ríos, y luego porque Tigres acabaría con cuatro jugadores lesionados. Tres de ellos antes de la media hora de juego.
Some wild scenes took place during an adult league soccer game in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, on Sunday when the referee pulled out a gun and shot towards a player and crowd of people. The Oklahoma referee’s name is Davi Bathez and he was arrested after the incident.
According to police, a dispute took place after Bathez issued a red card to one of the players. A small scuffle ensued over the red card which led to the referee grabbing a gun from his car and shooting a single shot towards the player and crowd.
