Pumas Femenil beats Necaxa with a rebound goal worthy of a soap opera

The felines clawed for victory in a match where the goal seemed to hide like a shy cat.

The match where the goal had more suspense than an episode of “La Rosa de Guadalupe”

Oh, what a surprise. Pumas Femenil beat Necaxa at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario, because, of course, what better place for a football drama than a stage that has already seen it all? The Auriazules achieved their second victory of Apertura 2025, although not before making their fans suffer as if they were the protagonists of a low-budget thriller. The final score: 1-0, because why score more if one is enough, right?

First half: Is this football or a yoga rehearsal?

The first half was as exciting as watching paint dry. There was a lack of intensity, the players seemed more concerned about not sweating their hair than about creating danger. Few emotions in both areas, because, apparently, the ball was afraid to get close to the goals. Strategy? Caution? Nah, just a game that badly needed a caffeine shot.

Second part: When the goal was hiding like a cat up for adoption

For the second half, Pumas decided that, well, maybe they should try to win. They advanced lines, showed some dynamics and, oh miracle, they began to generate danger. The felines had more clear opportunities than a politician in an election year, but their aim was as precise as a weather forecast. They failed, they failed again, and it seemed that a tie was inevitable, like taxes or Gatell memes.

Until, at minute 76′, Silvana Flores appeared, the unexpected heroine, to send the ball to the back after a series of rebounds that would have made the scriptwriters of “Woman, real life cases” cry with emotion. Was it nice? No. Was it effective? Completely. Pumas was able to increase the lead, but, let’s be honest, why complicate life? One goal was enough for them to take the three points and maintain their perfect pace in the tournament: two games, two victories. Invincible? Let’s not get excited, but for now, at least, they don’t smell like failure.

What’s next? Pumas Femenil will continue its path in the Apertura 2025, while Necaxa wonders if they should practice corner kicks more. And we, the spectators, will continue here, laughing (or crying) at the follies of women’s football.

The feat of Cape Verde and its goalkeeper Vozinha in the World Cup

The 40-year-old goalkeeper almost caused a historic surprise against Argentina.

The Cape Verde goalkeeper, Vozinha, achieved his goal: for his mother to see him play in the World Cup. And with his performance, he went much further.

An unforgettable performance

The Blue Sharks did not win a single game, but their debut was unforgettable. The African team, the smallest in territorial area to reach a World Cup, drew goalless against Spain and then added two more draws to qualify for the round of 16. There they fell 3-2 against Argentina in extra time, with a goal and an assist from Messi.

Vozinha, 40 years old, grew bigger. Against the best player in the world, he made at least four key saves in the last 60 minutes: a point-blank shot that he absorbed with his body, a free kick that he brushed with his hand, a low shot in stoppage time and a powerful shot in extra time. Each intervention kept his team alive.

Cape Verde, with a population equivalent to 1% of Argentina’s, will receive 11 million dollars from FIFA. More than money, the Blue Sharks earned a place in world football memory.

Mexico vs England schedule remains at 6:00 p.m.

FIFA considered moving the game forward due to a storm, but in the end there was no change.

FIFA decides to maintain the Mexico vs England schedule

The uncertainty about the schedule of the round of 16 match between Mexico and England at the 2026 World Cup ended this Friday. FIFA had evaluated advancing the opening whistle to 12:00 p.m., central Mexico time, to avoid the risk of an afternoon thunderstorm. However, after several deliberations, the organization determined that the match be played at 6:00 p.m., as originally scheduled at the Mexico City Stadium.

The possibility of the change generated annoyance in the Tricolor coach, Javier Aguirre. In a local interview, he called the potential modification a “kick in the gut.”

“FIFA rules, it’s garlic and water. The whole plan, all the work will have to be changed, not that it’s going to hell but almost because you’re swallowing up six hours that you had scheduled. I don’t like it at all,” reproached the Mexican strategist.

On the English side, forward Marcus Rashford maintained a more composed posture before traveling from Kansas City to the Mexican capital. He told the media that competing at noon “is not ideal”, but assured that the British squad has the capacity to adapt thanks to its rigorous preparation, which does not change regardless of the time of the match.

With this decision, the duel between Mexico and England will be played at its original time. Both teams will have to adjust their plans based on confirmation from FIFA.

Gilberto Mora shines in the World Cup; Manchester United withdraws from the bid

The Xolos youth player dazzles in the World Cup while two English giants fight to sign him.

Gilberto Mora has become one of the Mexican revelations of the World Cup. At just 17 years old, the Xolos de Tijuana midfielder is a regular in Javier Aguirre’s lineups. He has taken advantage of every opportunity to demonstrate his talent and establish himself as a key player in the Tricolor.

The future of Gilberto Mora

After his performance against Ecuador, when he left the Mexico City Stadium to applause, doubts arose again about his next step. The young man will come of age after the tournament, and several European clubs are following him.

However, Manchester United decided to curb their interest. According to the Mirror newspaper, the English team analyzed the cost of his incorporation and considered that the operation would become too expensive after his World Cup appearance.

Despite that, the outlook for Mora is encouraging. The same report indicates that Manchester City and Chelsea are leading the dispute to sign one of the greatest promises in Mexican soccer. His performance in the World Cup has been fundamental for the team, and his future seems promising on the international stage.
