America does not appear and ties with Nashville in the first leg

The Eagles couldn't find their game and tied without goals. The classification will be defined at the Azteca.

The America promised by Jardine never arrived on the field

The team André Jardine said we’d see in Nashville just didn’t show up. It was a goalless draw that leaves everything to be resolved at Azteca next week. A flat performance, without spark, that sets off the alarms.

The apathy that accompanies them in Liga MX carried over to the Champions Cup. The away goal that could have made the difference never came. In the first half, the most dangerous shot was from Zendejas, directly at the goalkeeper.

“We are in shit…”, writes a fan on social media.

It must be said: this ‘decaffeinated’ version of América, sixth in the League, was not surpassed by the leader of the MLS Eastern Conference. Figures like Mukhtar or Surridge did not find how to do harm.

At times, the Eagles seemed comfortable with the result. Defining at home is an advantage, but a single goal from Nashville in Mexico would put them on the ropes.

Scratch is far from playing as its fans expect and as Emilio Azcárraga demands, obsessed with ending the 10-year drought without this continental title.

“America scored twice in 90 minutes… it’s depressing,” wrote another follower.

There are already four games without winning. If they don’t wake up soon, many things are at risk: the Clásico Joven with Cruz Azul is coming and the return against Nashville.

The alarms are on. If America does not react, it could add another international setback in the Jardine era. The ball is in their court, literally. Next week at the Azteca there is no room for another gray performance.

Vozinha, World Cup figure, signs with Colo Colo

The goalkeeper who shone with Cape Verde in the World Cup comes to Chilean soccer.

Vozinha a Colo Colo

Cape Verdean goalkeeper Vozinha, 40, will be a new Colo Colo player, confirmed the president of Blanco y Negro, Aníbal Mosa.

Mosa assured that the goalkeeper will travel to Chile in the coming days to undergo medical examinations and then will be presented at the Monumental Stadium. “He meets the conditions to be here,” he declared.

According to the leader, the operation also has a marketing component, but he stressed that Vozinha “has just had a very good World Cup.” He added that his arrival “places our club in the global orbit.”

Vozinha, whose real name is Josimar Dias, stole the show on June 15 with a key performance in Cape Verde’s 0-0 draw against then-European champions Spain. It was the first World Cup match in the history of his team.

Then Cape Verde tied 2-2 with Uruguay and 0-0 with Saudi Arabia. They lost in the round of 32 against Argentina, forcing extra time.

His career includes clubs in Angola, Moldova, Cyprus, Slovakia and Portugal. His last team was Chaves, from the Portuguese second league, where he played for two years and left with the pass in his possession.

The nickname “Vozinha” means “granny” in Portuguese. He received it from children who bullied him and laughed when he went home crying to his grandparents. He later adopted him because another classmate had the same first name.

After the game against Spain, his followers on Instagram went from about 50,000 to more than 2.4 million in a few hours. Today it totals 29.5 million.

Mosa stated that the final details are being worked out, but he has confirmation from the player’s representatives.

The president of Blanco y Negro, Aníbal Mosa, confirmed the signing of the Cape Verdean goalkeeper Vozinha for Colo Colo. “In the next few days he will travel to Chile for the rigorous exams and then he will be presented at the Monumental Stadium,” he declared to the press.

Mosa stressed that the 40-year-old goalkeeper “meets the conditions” for the team and acknowledged that the operation “has marketing additives.” However, he stressed that Vozinha “has just had a very good World Cup” and that his arrival helps “place our club in the global orbit.”

Vozinha, whose real name is Josimar Dias, became a global figure on June 15, when Cape Verde drew 0-0 against Spain, the current European champion. It was the first World Cup match in the history of his team. They then tied 2-2 with Uruguay and 0-0 with Saudi Arabia. In the round of 32, they took Argentina to extra time.

The goalkeeper made his professional debut at the age of 25 with Progreso de Angola. Since then, he played in Moldova, Cyprus, Slovakia and Portugal. His last club was Chaves in the Portuguese second division, where he spent two years and retired with the pass in his possession.

In the national team since 2012, Vozinha confessed that he thought about leaving the national team, but “continued with this dream” of the World Cup. His nickname, which means “granny” in Portuguese, was given to him by older boys who bullied him on the field. Later he adopted it to differentiate himself from another player named Josimar.

After his performance against Spain, his followers on Instagram went from 50,000 to more than 2.4 million in a few days. Currently, the number exceeds 29.5 million.
