  • Chile Sale a La Cancha a Defender Su Título De Campeón De América Llegó El Turno De La Selección Chilena En La Copa Améric
    Chile sale a la cancha a defender su título de campeón de América Llegó el turno de la selección chilena en la Copa América Centenario. Pese a que en los partidos amistosos frente a Jamaica y México la selección chilena no obtuvo victorias, la escuadra nacional hoy tendrá su revancha y deberán sacar lo mejor para enfrentarse en su debut ante Argentina. Los albicelestes aún tienen dudas si el astro Lionel Messi estará en el choque contra Chile. Ante esto, uno de los referentes de La Roja, Arturo Vidal dijo que “me gustaría que juegue Messi. Quiero que se recupere, no sólo por la selección de Argentina sino por el fútbol. Queremos que mañana (hoy) sea un lindo espectáculo y tenemos muchas esperanzas de hacer las cosas bien y lograr el objetivo de ser bicampeones”. Por su parte, el entrenador de la albiceleste, Gerardo Martino, quiere dar vuelta la página del histórico triunfo de Chile por la Copa América 2015 “La final fue hace un año, la ganó Chile por penales, ya es historia. Ni siquiera una eventual final entre los mismos protagonistas nos dará una oportunidad de revancha”. El encuentro está agendado a las 22:00 horas en el Levi’s Stadium, de California. Formación de Chile: Claudio Bravo, Mauricio Isla, Gary Medel, Gonzalo Jara, Eugenio Mena, Marcelo Díaz, Charles Aránguiz, Arturo Vidal, Alexis Sánchez, Eduardo Vargas y Jean Beasejour. Formación de Argentina: Sergio Romero, Gabriel Mercado, Nicolás Otamendi, Ramiro Funes Mori, Marco Rojo Augusto Fernández, Javier Mascherano, Gaitán, Ever Banega, Angel Di María, Gonzalo Higuaín. México se impuso a Uruguay por 3-1 1 / 2 Algo inusual ocurrió en la previa del debut copero entre aztecas y charrúas.

  • Annulez Le Match “Amical” Dans L’Apartheid D’Israël
    Les joueurs de l’Argentine et de l’Uruguay doivent avoir de vos nouvelles: Annulez le match “amical” dans l’Apartheid d’Israël 11 novembre 2019 Uruguay, Argentine Les joueurs de football des équipes nationales argentine et uruguayenne ont le pouvoir et l’influence nécessaires pour annuler le match “amical” dans l’apartheid israélien. Les équipes nationales de football argentine et uruguayenne prévoient d’organiser un match “amical” dans le régime israélien d’apartheid le 18 novembre, ignorant les appels des Palestiniens et alors qu’Israël mène des attaques contre Gaza assiégée. Pour Israël, il s’agit d’utiliser le beau sport pour laver ses crimes d’occupation et d’apartheid contre les Palestiniens, y compris les athlètes. Pour les associations de football, il s’agit clairement d’argent. L’Argentine a même annulé un match amical déjà programmé avec le Paraguay dans la ville palestinienne de Jaffa qui avait subi un nettoyage ethnique. Nous devons atteindre les joueurs. Ils ont le pouvoir et l’influence pour arrêter ce match. Dites aux joueurs argentins et uruguayens: L’apartheid n’est jamais «amical». Annulez le match maintenant! Les joueurs doivent savoir qu’ils doivent se tenir aux côtés des footballeurs palestiniens amputés à Gaza qui ont perdu un membre à cause des tirs de snippers de l’armée israélienne, plutôt que de divertir l’apartheid israélien. Les joueurs doivent savoir qu’ils devraient être aux côtés des familles d’enfants palestiniens tués par Israël alors qu’ils jouaient au football, plutôt que de laver par le sport l’occupation militaire israélienne et la purification ethnique.

It was a difficult season for Arsenal. The team finished 6th in the league – it’s worst position for over 20 years. During the season, Arsenal lost two great attacking players in Alexis Sanchez (who went to Man Utd), and Olivier Giroud (who went to Chelsea). You can see from the table below that those two guys took lots of shots. Arsenal needed to replace them to keep scoring goals.
