[ad_1] Mexican national team players are back in full force. The past weekend saw several El Tri figures confront each other in league matches, raising the stakes. In the Eredivisie, Edson Alvarez and Jorge Sanchez represented Ajax against Santiago Gimenez’s Feyenoord, while in La Liga, Cesar Montes and Espanyol faced Andres Guardado’s Real B*tis. But it was the Serie A match between Salernitana and Napoli that made history for Mexicans abroad, as Guillermo Ochoa and Chucky Lozano stood as the first two El Tri players to compete against one another in the Italian league. Here’s everything you missed… Battle of the Mexicans in the EredivisieRead More →

[ad_1] Fresh from signing new contracts, Jordan Morris and Cristian Roldan are aiming to keep the good times rolling with the Seattle Sounders. Alongside teenage midfielder Danny Leyva, Morris and Roldan committed their long-term futures to the Rave Green last week, extending stays with the club totalling over 400 appearances between the two combined. The duo have played vital roles in MLS Cup and Concacaf Champions League successes for the Sounders, but that hasn’t stopped them from being hungry for more. “We’ve grown up [together] and were the young guys coming through, now we’re in the older side of the time and part of theRead More →

[ad_1] Word association is a common test used by psychologists in which the participant responds to a stimulus word with the first word that comes to mind. It’s supposed to unravel your subconscious and expose the depths of trauma in some instances. So, for example, you might associate yellow with banana, drink with juice, and – a more common one -Accrington Stanley with ‘who are they?’. English football fans have been associating that question with the northern club since the 1980s, with the phrase being popularised by the then-watchable Soccer AM in the noughties. But how and when did Accrington Stanley establish itself in footballRead More →

[ad_1] Olivier Giroud has revealed his admiration for Major League Soccer amid questions about his AC Milan future. The veteran striker – who became France’s all-time record goalscorer at the 2022 World Cup – continues to deliver, scoring nine goals and providing six assists in 22 combined Serie A and Champions League appearances so far this season. However, Giroud is now 36-years-old and with his contract expiring in June, questions are naturally being asked about what comes next. What is for sure is that Giroud is not done playing yet. The former Arsenal and Chelsea striker has expressed a desire to finish his career inRead More →

[ad_1] Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta refused to be drawn on the idea that the Gunners are now favourites to win this season’s Premier League title following their win over Manchester United on Sunday. Arsenal initially came from behind against a United only beaten once in all competitions since early October, before being pegged back themselves. But Eddie Nketiah scored his second goal of the game to win it 3-2 at the very end. With half the season now behind them, the result leaves Arteta’s team five points clear of second place Manchester City with a game in hand. What’s more, they have lost only onceRead More →

But which players shone in particular? Here’s 90min’s WSL team of the week for gameweek 11. Finnigen helped Everton to all threeRead More →

[ad_1] Barcelona did enough to ensure they would finish another weekend top of La Liga with a narrow 1-0 win over Getafe at Camp Nou. Pedri scored the only goal of the contest in the first half, finishing with a low shot in the middle of the penalty area after connecting with Raphinha’s cross from the left. Getafe had actually put the ball in the net only a couple of minutes into the game when Borja Mayoral followed in a rebound after Marc-Andre Ter Stegen had saved from Enes Unal. But a flag ruled it out because Unal had been in an offside position beforeRead More →
