América cae en amistoso 2-1 ante el LAFC

sostuvieron un cotejo amistoso frente al LAFC, que terminó por imponerse 2-1


La buena racha del tricampeón América no pudo traspasar fronteras y perdió por 2-1 en partido amistoso ante Los Ángeles FC, celebrado en el Banc of California Stadium.

Con una alineación inicial sin muchos titulares, América no pudo mantener el paso arrasador que lleva en la Liga MX y perdió el "invicto" en Estados Unidos. En el segundo tiempo cayeron los goles y el equipo mexicano y solo logró hacer un tanto que fue obra de Richard Sánchez.

Para el América significó cumplir con un compromiso pactado desde hace tiempo; inclusive, el técnico André Jardine mandó a su gente a no emplearse tan a fondo, dado que las Águilas tienen un compromiso oficial del Clausura 2025 el viernes próximo ante Necaxa.

En cambio, Los Ángeles FC tuvieron un entrenamiento de alto nivel, ya que este fue su último juego de preparación antes de comenzar su participación en el nuevo torneo de la MLS.

Otro motivo importante para los dirigidos de Steve Cherundolo es que una parte de las ganancias por las entradas será destinada a organizaciones que ayudan a la gente que perdió su hogar en los recientes incendios en la comunidad de Los Ángeles. Afortunadamente para la causa, el estadio registró más de la mitad de afluencia en las tribunas.

En la primera parte hubo momentos en que se dieron más infracciones que arribos a las porterías, por lo que razonablemente los equipos se fueron al vestidor con el 0-0.

La situación cambió en el complemento. Jardine realizó cocho cambios en el cuadro inicial, respetando la portería defendida por Rodolfo Cota, y el América fue sorprendido al primer minuto. Los Ángeles hicieron un gol de vestidor, ayudados un poco por una mala sincronización de la zaga visitante y Bouanga no perdonó.

Los Ángeles FC se fueron adelante en el marcador y al minuto 60 volvieron a castigar al América cayendo el 2-0; Ordaz definió mandando el balón al fondo.

No obstante, las Águilas sacaron el orgullo y acortaron distancias 3 minutos después. La jugada se creó gracias a la presión en zona del rival y de atrás Richard Sánchez anotó con derechazo el 2-1

Los goles le dieron otro rumbo a las acciones y la afición celebró el mejor juego. Un América herido se volcó al frente en busca del empate, mientras que el conjunto local trataba de enfriar el balón. El agobio del equipo capitalino de los últimos minutos no surtió efecto y finalmente cayó 2-1, pero sin bajar los brazos.

After the video was posted online, there was speculation about whether the argument was staged, amid Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy saying the two would fight in a Rough 'N' Rowdy" boxing event sponsored by the company.

Guardiola siente resignación por caída de Man City vs Real Madrid

El equipo de Carlo Ancelotti pudo dar vuelta el marcador en dos ocasiones, para quedarse con el primer partido ante los Citizens (1:25)

“No tengo problema en reconocer que esto no funciona como funcionaba en el pasado”, señaló Guardiola, DT del City, tras caer ante el Madrid.


Mánchester.- El entrenador del Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, se mostró este martes muy resignado tras ver cómo una vez más esta temporada, esta vez ante el Real Madrid (2-3), su equipo perdía el partido en los minutos finales y confesó que "así es difícil" poder seguir vivos en la UEFA Champions League.

El City ha recibido ocho goles en los últimos 16 minutos en sus últimos cinco partidos de Champions, una estadística sobre la que se le preguntó a Guardiola en la rueda de prensa tras caer por 2-3 frente al Real Madrid, con dos postreros goles en contra.

"Después del 2-1, nos sucedió lo que nos ha pasado tantas veces esta temporada (...) No es la primera vez, desafortunadamente, y así es difícil. Tenemos que saber que los errores en las áreas te penalizan. Es difícil de gestionar, pero nos ha pasado muchas veces", se sinceró

Pese a todo, insistió en que no tenía nada que reprochar a su equipo, porque es consciente de la magnitud de su adversario esta noche: "El problema es que cuando dejas ir un resultado así en los últimos minutos, cuesta más aceptarlo".

At least 1 dead and 3 injured after a private jet owned by Vince Neil crashed into another upon arrival in Arizona

February 11, 2025 0

 At least one person is dead and three injured after a small business jet crashed into a parked plane as it arrived at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona, just east of Phoenix, on Monday afternoon.

The arriving plane is owned by Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil, according to a representative for the singer. The jet had two pilots and two passengers, but Neil was not onboard, attorney Worrick Robinson said in a statement.





“Mr. Neil’s thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all first responders assisting today,” Robinson said.

One person died in the crash and three were hurt, according to city spokesperson Kelli Kuester. Officials earlier said four were hurt. The three who were injured were taken to hospitals, Kuester said.Monday’s crash is the fourth deadly US aircraft accident in the past two weeks, following a fatal midair collision near Washington, DC, that killed all 67 people onboard both aircraft, the crash of a medevac jet in Philadelphia, killing seven, and a crash near Nome, Alaska, that claimed the lives of all 10 people on board a commuter flight.

Neil’s Learjet 35A aircraft – emblazoned with a maroon and gold paint scheme resembling flames – was arriving from Austin, Texas, when it veered off the runway and crashed into a parked Gulfstream G200 jet, Kuester said at a Monday news conference. One person was inside the Gulfstream at the time of the crash, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

“It appears that the left main gear failed upon landing resulting in the accident,” she said.

The Gulfstream is operated by JetPros, a private charter service.“There were no injuries on board the Gulfstream, but external damages were sustained to the aircraft,” the company said in a statement provided to CNN.

“We are cooperating fully with airport authorities and relevant agencies as they conduct a thorough review of the situation.”

The National Transportation Safety Board is at the scene and leading the investigation into the crash, said Kuester. In response to a CNN inquiry, the NTSB said only that it is investigating.

Scottsdale Airport is a popular aviation hub for private jets coming in and out of the Phoenix area, especially during major events like last weekend’s Waste Management Phoenix Open golf tournament, which brands itself as the largest zero-waste sporting event in the world.

What is Fort Bragg? Hegseth restores Army base name from Fort Liberty.

February 11, 2025 0

 The base was renamed Fort Liberty in 2023 to disassociate from Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg. It’s now named after Roland L. Bragg, a World War II hero.Outside Fayetteville, North Carolina, lies one of the largest military bases in the world. You may know it as Fort Bragg, as it was named in 1922, or Fort Liberty, as it was renamed in 2023 to disassociate it from the Confederate general it was named after. On Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth restored its name to Fort Bragg but said it would honor a World War II hero who shares the same last name.

Here’s what to know about Fort Bragg and the controversy surrounding its name.

The facts

  • The base was originally named after Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg, a plantation owner who enslaved people.
  • Its name was changed from Fort Bragg to Fort Liberty in 2023 as part of efforts to rename military installations honoring Confederate officers.
  • On Monday, Hegseth directed the Army to rename the base Fort Roland L. Bragg in honor of “a World War II hero who earned the Silver Star and Purple Heart for his exceptional courage during the Battle of the Bulge,” the Pentagon said. Pfc. Roland Bragg was an Army paratrooper and mechanic who was credited with saving a wounded soldier’s life by driving him in a stolen German ambulance to an Allied hospital in Belgium.
  • President Donald Trump pledged to restore the base’s original name during the 2024 campaign.

 




What is Fort Bragg?

The military installation is home to the 82nd Airborne Division and the Army Special Operations Command.

Established in 1918 as Camp Bragg, the facility was upgraded in 1922 and renamed Fort Bragg.

It is now one of the largest military complexes in the world, according to the Army, hosting some 57,000 service members, 11,000 civilian employees and 23,000 family members.

Who was Braxton Bragg?

Braxton Bragg, after whom the military base was originally named, was a sugar plantation owner who enslaved 105 people. He described Abraham Lincoln as a “despotic ruler,” and biographers have noted Bragg’s racism.He was also “considered one of the worst generals of the Civil War,” since “most of the battles he was involved in ended in defeat,” according to a 2022 report by the commission appointed by Congress to rename the military installations.

“Bragg was temperamental, a harsh disciplinarian, and widely disliked in the pre-Civil War U.S. Army and within the Confederate Army by peers and subordinates alike throughout his career,” the report said.

What prompted the name change to Fort Liberty in 2023?

On Jan. 1, 2021, months after the murder of George Floyd sparked mass protests and public scrutiny of Confederate symbols, Congress passed a defense authorization bill that included an order for the Pentagon to change the names of installations honoring members of the Confederacy within three years.

Trump, then in his first term, vetoed the bill, but it had bipartisan support. Other opponents of the legislation included Vice President Mike Pence and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), both of whom blamed the move on “political correctness.”

Super Bowl 2025: Taylor Swift gets booed, Kendrick Lamar disses Drake — and what was up with that scoreboard? Here are the most viral moments of the night

February 10, 2025 0

 Super Bowl LIX wasn’t just a decisive win for the Philadelphia Eagles — who steamrolled the Kansas City Chiefs with a 40-22 victory — it was also a night packed with fashion statements, unforgettable ads and next-level celebrity drama.


From Taylor Swift getting booed in the stands to Kendrick Lamar using the halftime spotlight to take shots at Drake, the internet had plenty to talk about. And let’s not forget the NFL’s questionable new scoreboard, which fans absolutely roasted.

Here are the moments that made this year’s Super Bowl more entertaining off the field than on.

Taylor Swift gets booed

Swift’s presence at the Super Bowl has been the storyline of the season, but not everyone was thrilled to see her. When she appeared on the giant video screen at Caesars Superdome, a mix of cheers and loud boos rang out. Still, the singer seemed to handle it like a pro — with a bit of side eye and a light smile.

 

Brady and Snoop — two legends in their own right — delivered a PSA called “No Reason to Hate,” which turned out to be a bit ironic. Once it debuted, social media became flooded with people expressing how much they, well, hated the ad.

The spot was for billionaire Robert Kraft’s Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, and featured the du

o trading barbs in tight close-ups: “I hate you because we’re from different neighborhoods.” “I hate you because you look different.” “I hate you because I don’t understand you.”

It ended with Snoop saying, “Man, I hate that things are so bad that we have to do a commercial about it.” It seemed that a large number of viewers agreed.

Martha Stewart’s Sketchers ad

She may not have been on the field, but Stewart stole the show with her hilarious Skechers commercial. The 83-year-old had social media buzzing, with fans on X crowning her the real MVP of the night.

In the ad, an AI-generated version of Stewart pulls off insanely impressive breakdancing moves — flipping, twisting and defying gravity with Olympic-level skill. While it was clearly AI-generated, fans didn’t seem to mind.

Eagles top Chiefs to win Super Bowl, led by Jalen Hurts and a brilliant defensive performance

February 10, 2025 0

 The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions again after a dominant performance in a 40-22 win over the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs. The win is the first for the quarterback-coaching duo of Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni after they fell in Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs. With the loss, Kansas City falls short in its quest for the first three-peat in the Super Bowl era.


A brilliant night from the Eagles' defense and an efficient, poised night from Hurts headlined Philadelphia's second Super Bowl title in franchise history. The Eagles held the Chiefs to 225 total yards and forced three turnovers, including a second-quarter Cooper DeJean interception that he returned for a touchdown.

Hurts, who was named Super Bowl MVP, finished the night 17-of-22 for 221 yards through the air and two passing touchdowns. He also rushed for 72 yards — a new Super Bowl record for a quarterback — and a Tush Push rushing touchdown. Saquon Barkley had 97 total yards, with 57 on the ground on 31 touches.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 257 yards and three scores — much of that once the Eagles had the game well in hand — along with two interceptions and a lost fumble. He's now 3-2 in five career Super Bowl starts.

Super Bowl required reading: Eagles squash Chiefs' 3-peat hopes


Tom Brady and the New England Patriots couldn’t finish the job. The Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s were incredible teams but fell short too. The 1980s San Francisco 49ers and 1990s Dallas Cowboys were NFL royalty but their streaks stopped at two Super Bowls in a row.

There have been 59 Super Bowls played and still no team has won three of them in a row. The Chiefs’ quest for a three-peat starts over at zero after they were thoroughly dominated by the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX. It was one of the most one-sided games in Super Bowl history, which was shocking given the stature of the Chiefs coming in.
