[ad_1] Argentina extended their unbeaten run to 34 matches with a comfortable 3-0 victory against Honduras in Miami. La Albiceleste are still yet to lose a match – competitive or otherwise – in the 2020s, with their last defeat coming against rivals Brazil in July 2019. Their formidable record continued on Friday night with an emphatic victory against a toothless Honduras side at Hard Rock Stadium. Papu Gomez came close to breaking the deadlock for Argentina after just four minutes, but his solo effort whistled just over the crossbar. They weren’t to be denied much longer, however, as Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring soon after.Read More →

The gap between Arsenal and Tottenham has gradually closed during Spurs’ three seasons in the WSL, with Tottenham taking points off their north London rivals for the very first time last term.

[ad_1] The United States Men’s National Team suffered a 2-0 loss to Japan in Dusseldorf on Friday in the first of two World Cup warm-up friendlies. Gregg Berhalter’s side were thoroughly outplayed by Japan, who won thanks to goals from Daichi Kamada and Kaoru Mitoma. The USMNT were out-shot 16-4 and didn’t manage a single effort on target, with their lethargic play and disjointed passing proving far too easy to defend against. In the first half alone, the US lost possession a massive 54 times, with even the likes of Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams looking unusually sloppy on the ball. Granted, the US wereRead More →
