MLS y USL: Impacto en Equipo Nacional de EE.UU.

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. In many respects, March 24, 2023 looked like just another game for the United States men's national team. Weston McKennie and Ricardo Pepi tallied twice, Christian Pulisic added a goal and two assists, and the Americans beat Grenada 7-1 to move to the top of Group D in the Concacaf Nations League.In one respect, however, the match was unlike any other in history. For the first time since Major League Soccer's launch in 1996, the red, white, and blue game-day roster did not feature a single player from the U.S. first division. Atlanta United's Miles Robinson, the only MLS player to even make the training camp roster for those games, was left off the 23-man matchday squad because of injury and looking at where American players play, it's unlikely this will be the last time such an occurrence happens.In a sense, the impact of current MLS players on the U.S. national team is waning. At the 1998 World Cup, 16 of the 22 players came from MLS. In 2002 and 2006, that number was 11 out of 23. In Qatar? Just nine of 26 players came from the first division, with only Nashville SC's Walker Zimmerman playing more than 45 minutes.- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)Now, this isn't to say that MLS (and USL Championship) aren't having an effect on the senior national team. They clearly are, especially as the majority of those called up started their careers in MLS or the development academies. U.S. head coach Gregg Berhalter pointed to the growth of the league as a key element in the development of the player pool."MLS is a critical step in everything that we're doing in U.S. Soccer," Berhalter said in a November interview with Telemundo. "When you see the amount of investment that the owners have made in Major League Soccer, and actually soccer in America, it's a great thing. The reason why we are where we are is because of the investment from MLS,""We don't get hung up on where the players are coming from. We're looking at how we grow this team, grow the player pool, and give experience to a broad selection of players."Consider this: 17 of the 26 players on the 2022 World Cup roster played for an MLS NEXT academy, while 20 of the 21 men on the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup roster were, or had been, in an MLS academy. Additionally, 14 players with USL or League One experience made that U-20 roster including Joshua Wynder, who has since moved to Portuguese side Benfica in the USL's first seven-figure transfer.It's a strange spot for MLS and, to a lesser extent, USL. The league needs to move its best young players along to other clubs and reinvest the money in player development, a virtuous cycle that also means talented young Americans will end up playing overseas. While 2023 saw homegrown players set a record, with 174 playing 168,163 minutes across 2,829 games, three aging defenders -- Matt Miazga, Tim Parker, and Zimmerman -- were the only Americans on the Best XI team. The top three MVP candidates -- FC Cincinnati playmaker Luciano Acosta, LAFC winger Dénis Bouanga and Atlanta United midfielder Thiago Almada -- came from abroad, with no American winning the league's MVP since Mike Magee in 2013.An emerging league is, almost by definition, a place where the most talented young players leave and that is, for now at least, a feature not a bug."All of the work that we do day to day is focused on giving opportunities for our players to reach their full potential, whether it's in the academy or the first team, so that eventually some of them become high-level players in MLS," Charles Altchek, president of MLS NEXT Pro, said in an interview with ESPN. "Whether they stay in MLS or end up moving around the world depends on where they are in their lifecycle as a player, what they want to achieve and where they want to be."USL is adopting this same philosophy: they want to be a place where Americans start a career, not finish it."I feel very strongly that the most valuable currency in soccer for player development is firstly in playing minutes, especially meaningful and competitive games in front of thousands of fans," USL head of global football development and sporting director Oliver Wyss said during a phone call with ESPN."Our clubs are ideally positioned to provide this environment and the full pathway that already has and will have an even bigger direct impact on developing the next generation of U.S. national team players and also allow the USL to become a bigger player in the global transfer market.""I encourage all of our teams to look at our top players as assets, and not as expenses. Ultimately, if these assets can be transferred to Europe, and you get a six- or seven-figure transfer amount plus a future sell-on percentage, the return of investment on these players is going to be significant for a club."The growth of domestic leagues means there's more opportunity than ever before for Americans to see the field, but there's also more competition. The trend for MLS clubs seeking quality is to target players in their mid-20s. In other words, men in their prime who are also depreciating assets in a sport that prioritizes youth and potential.While this is good for the level of play, it's not great for younger Americans trying to break through who can see opportunities to get on the field blocked by these expensive acquisitions. As a result, the percentage of minutes played by Americans in MLS has decreased even though available minutes have increased because of league expansion. One worthwhile comparison is Japan, a footballing country in a similar place to the U.S. in this regard.Tom Byer, a man who has had a significant impact on the development of soccer in the Asian nation, offered an observation during an interview. "With Japan, the majority of the national team players play in Europe, but the gap between those best players in Europe and the players in the J.League is tiny," he said. "Almost no Japanese player makes it over to Europe to play until they've played about 150 professional games in the J.League."Closing the gap should, and is, a goal of MLS, and one that it's slowly achieving. But the truth is, at the end of the day, it's neither MLS nor the USL's job to make the U.S. men's national team better. They are three separate and distinct entities with their own goals and metrics for success. Still, there's the reality that what's good for one is good for the other -- a strong tide raises all boats, or something like that -- and there's a World Cup not too far away across all of North America."When the national team is successful, it's good for soccer fans in this country and for MLS," Altchek said. "That's why we've worked really closely with the Federation for decades now on providing those opportunities for players and working with them on call-ups and releasing players for different competitions.""We want the U.S. to win the 2026 World Cup or at least go farther than they've ever gone before. Having the men's national team there with a bunch of players who played or are playing in MLS will be icing on the cake." ,Estados Unidos vence a Granada 7-1 con McKennie, Pepi y Pulisic destacando.

Sheffield United rompe récord negativo de goles en liga.

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. Sheffield United have set an unwanted record for the number of goals conceded by a team in a single Premier League season.Abdoulaye Doucouré's first half strike for Everton on Saturday, took Sheffield's goals against total to 101, surpassing Swindon Town's mark of 100 goals conceded in the 1994-95 season, when the division contained 22 teams.- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)Chris Wilder's side, whose relegation from the Premier League was confirmed last month in a 5-1 defeat to Newcastle, had already broken the record for most goals conceded in a 38-game Premier League season.The club have suffered a dizzying series of heavy defeats -- both at Bramall Lane and on their travels -- including an 8-0 home loss to Newcastle in September, the 5-0 loss away at Burnley and the 6-0 defeat at home to Arsenal in March, where they conceded five goals in the opening 40 minutes.They have already avoided the ignominy of finishing with the lowest points tally in Premier League history -- Derby County's 11 points in 2007-08 remains the worst-ever return by a club -- but should they lose their remaining fixture against Tottenham on May 19, they will have accumulated the third-fewest points in a 38-game season.Wilder took over as Sheffield United manager in December after the departure of Paul Heckingbottom, who had earned the club promotion from the Championship the season prior.He has said that he does not intend to resign from his role and and wants to be part of the rebuild at Bramall Lane.Information from Reuters contributed to this report ,Sheffield United rompe récord de goles recibidos en una temporada de la Premier League con 101 tantos en contra.

Manchester City, a paso firme hacia el título

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. LONDON, England -- Glance at the Premier League table and it looks like there's a title race going on, but it's days like this when Manchester City make it look more like a forgone conclusion.Heading into the final week of the season, City are ahead of Arsenal by two points with two games remaining. All to play for, then, as a thrilling campaign reaches its dramatic climax? Probably not. City are squeezing the life out of the battle for the trophy and took another step towards a record fourth-consecutive title with a 4-0 win over Fulham on Saturday.An early kickoff, away from home, against a team with nothing to lose; there should have been at least some jeopardy in the trip to Craven Cottage. But Pep Guardiola's serial winners don't do jeopardy when there's silverware on the line and after collecting three more points, they can sit back and watch Arsenal try to keep up when they visit Manchester United on Sunday.- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)Arsenal have only won once at Old Trafford in the last 18 years and anything less than victory this weekend will give City the chance to wrap up the title when they return to London to play Tottenham on Tuesday. It's within touching distance."It was a good performance except for five or 10 minutes," said Guardiola afterwards. "We have two games left, so go back to Manchester and soon come back to London to play Spurs. Now just focus on recovery. Playing now is good because we play early. Monday we prepare, sleep at home and then Tuesday come here. Since they [Arsenal] lost against Villa [2-0 on April 14], destiny is in our hands. It's what we want."Big moments can sometimes throw up unlikely heroes and Josko Gvardiol has stepped up for City in the run-in. The 22-year-old defender had gone more than a year without a goal, but after scoring twice against Fulham it's now four in his last five league games.He settled any nerves at Nottingham Forest two weeks ago with the first goal of the game and did the same here. Cutting inside from left-back, he bounced the ball off Kevin De Bruyne, took an expert touch past Issa Diop and calmly rolled his finish into the corner. That's what €90 million gets you, even if he is supposed to be a defender."After the first long possession with the ball, our winger Josko scores a fantastic goal," said Guardiola with a smile. As the ball hit the net, Guardiola didn't change his stoney expression and instead only acknowledged the importance of the goal with a clenched fist. Wearing a thick wool sweater in the London sun, he was still the coolest man inside Craven Cottage.Such was City's control that it took Fulham nearly an hour to register a shot and almost immediately afterwards, Phil Foden made it 2-0. His 25th goal of the season owed everything to Bernardo Silva's skilful turn past Antonee Robinson and driving run inside, but Foden's finish was calm and precise -- much like City's performance. It was only after that goal that Guardiola allowed himself a smile. Two more games like this and there will be a few more come the end of the season."I have the feeling they like to play with pressure," said Guardiola. "They have incredible personalities. Players who enjoy playing with that pressure. If you lose the game you lose the Premier League, they know it. Don't think about anything other than the next game. See what happens. Go to London, perform well, try to win the game."When Gvardiol got his second from Silva's cross, the City fans behind the goal broke into a full Poznan, usually a sign that the game is over and the fun has started. With the score at 3-0, Guardiola began to turn his attention to Spurs and -- depending on Arsenal's result at United -- a potential title party. De Bruyne was quickly substituted, with Foden and Erling Haaland following soon afterwards.By the end, the Fulham fans were so demoralised by City's relentlessness that when the board went up to show seven minutes of stoppage time, there were loud groans from the stands. They wanted it over as quickly as possible and after an exercise of ruthless efficiency from Guardiola's team, who could blame them? They were right to want a speedy conclusion and in the 96th minute substitute Julián Álvarez was brought down in the area by Diop -- who was shown a second yellow card and sent off -- then tucked away the penalty.If ever there was a result to drain any remaining optimism from Arsenal, this was it. When the final whistle eventually blew, the City players strolled over to applaud their fans and were serenaded with a chorus of "champions again." It's hard to make a case for anything else. ,Manchester City se acerca al título de la Premier League con una victoria 4-0 sobre Fulham. Lideran por dos puntos sobre Arsenal.

Luis Enrique Orgulloso de Kylian Mbappé en PSG

Write informative laconic excerpt under 30 words in mexican spanish for news below. Do not wrap it into quotation marks or html tags. Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique said he was proud to have had Kylian Mbappé in his team and understood the club's all-time leading scorer's decision to end his seven-year stay.Mbappé, whose contract expires this season, announced his departure in a video on Friday after months of speculation about his future. The announcement brings Real Madrid closer to ending their yearslong pursuit of the France international, who is widely regarded as one of the best players in world football.- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)"All I can say is marvellous things about Kylian Mbappé as a footballer and person," Enrique told reporters on Saturday."I understand his decision.

"But it doesn't change anything in terms of our general outlook. Everything will stay the same."Regardless of those who are here or who are absent, my aim is to be stronger next season."Enrique said exiting the Champions League after losing to Borussia Dortmund in the semifinals still hurt and it was important for PSG to end the season by winning the French Cup final against Lyon on May 25."PSG will continue to be a great team and we'll get even better. We will bring in players with strong mentality and players who identify with the club... that's how life works," he added.PSG, who have won the Ligue 1 title for the third time in a row, host 12th-placed Toulouse on Sunday, which will be Mbappé's last home game for them. ,Luis Enrique, entrenador del PSG, elogió a Mbappé tras anunciar su salida.
