El Tri Watch: Miguel Herrera Visits European-Based Mexican Footballers

Mexico coach Miguel Herrera has started a tour in Europe to talk to some of El Tri‘s key players. Back in 2014, El Piojo did the same before the World Cup started. Back then the biggest concern was Carlos Vela, as he hadn’t worn “La Verde” in over three years. This time there’s not a drama like that; perhaps the only player who has been surrounded by gossip and uncertainties...

Football Match in Brazil Ends in Chaos as Police Officer Pepper Sprays Player

Fans, players, officials, pepper-spray wielding riot police—It is fair to say pretty much everybody in Brazil takes football seriously.  The above footage comes from a match in the Alagoas state championship on Sunday where CSA player Nego lashed out at police officers when they came onto the pitch to protect the referee.  Not a wise move.  Nego got a face full of pepper... 

El Tri Watch: European-Based Footballers Back with Their Clubs

The FIFA date ended earlier this week, and with that, El Tri footballers returned to their clubs.

How Germany Are Preparing to Conquer European and World Football This Summer

For a brief spell approximately six years ago, Germany were the holders of the European Championship at under-17, 19 and 21 levels. In 2008, they narrowly missed out on the trophy at senior level, losing 1-0 to Spain in the final. But that same year, their youth team, which featured Sven and Lars Bender, claimed the title at under-19 level. The next year, Mario Gotze, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Shkodran...

Referee Victim of Inexplicable ‘WWE-Style’ Attack by Footballer in Brazil

Our friends from 101 Great Goals have unearthed this bizarre video from a match in Brazil between Jacuipense and Juazeirense.

El Tri Watch: 5 Ecuadorian Footballers Who Could Put Mexico in Distress

Mexico are ready to face Ecuador next weekend in this year’s first FIFA date. It will be the teams’ second meeting in less than 12 months. El Tri need to be especially careful with five opponents.
