Max Bretos and Herculez Gomez recap the best of this weekend’s MLS action. Plus, the guys share their thoughts on Jurgen Damm’s goal celebration for Tigres. The Copa MX has often been regarded as a second-tier tournament by many teams. Almost all of them field reserve squads to test out formations and give young players experience. After all, the league title is the prize all clubs seek.
Chivas Guadalajara is no exception, but the fact that Mexico’s most popular club reaches its fourth Copa MX final in the last five seasons gives the tournament an added flavor. Last season Chivas met scrappy Queretaro in the final and lost, on Wednesday they face relegation-threatened…

Kylian Mbappe’s double for AS Monaco sealed a vital first leg away win over Borussia Dortmund in the UCL quarterfinals.

Relive the top moments from Wednesday’s Champions League clash between Borussia Dortmund and AS Monaco.

Herculez Gomez doesn’t buy the idea that Christian Pulisic is the future of world football.
Monaco defeated Dortmund 3-2 in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tie at the Westfalenstadion on Wednesday. Dortmund allowed as many goals against Monaco as they did in their previous seven home matches combined.

Mbappe scored twice in Monaco’s win, becoming the youngest player with two goals in a Champions League…

Shaka Hislop feels Bauza’s sacking was a long time coming, but will this turn things around for lacklustre Argentina?

Edgardo Bauza is unimpressed with the suspension of Lionel Messi, citing it as a reason for Argentina’s loss to Bolivia.
Argentina sacked manager Edgardo Bauza on Monday after just eight games and with the national team outside of CONMEBOL’s automatic 2018 World Cup qualification spots.
Currently fifth in the South American table through 14 rounds and with four games remaining, FiveThirtyEight’s Soccer Power Index (SPI) still gives Argentina, one point behind both Uruguay and Chile, an 84 percent chance to qualify for the competition.
The team that finishes in fifth place in South America will advance to a two-legged…

Gonzalo Higuain, who leads Juventus with 27…

Koke and Felipe Luis scored the goals as Atletico earned three points at Malaga.

Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak was named La Liga’s best goalkeeper last season.
Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak kept yet another clean sheet during his 100th appearance for the club last weekend — with the stats showing he’s outdone the records of previous Colchoneros shot-stoppers and current Premier League stars Thibaut Courtois and David De Gea.
Signed from Benfica in 2014 for €16 million, Oblak had a rocky start to life at Atletico and was dropped following mistakes in his debut 3-2 defeat in a Champions League group game at Olympiakos in September of that year.
He…
