Hype vs History: How Two Cup Tournaments Highlight the Battle Between the Past, Present & Future of the Sport in the USA
By Ivan Fernandez Verified, Ivan Fernández, Iván Fernández| afroxander.com@ The schism that divides Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber’s vision for the league (and the sport in general) and the sport’s too-often-forgotten-by-design history was on full display on September 25, 2024 thanks to a cup trophy double-header in the USA. The day began with Club América of Liga MX lifting the Campeones Cup trophy after defeating the Columbus Crew of MLS. Hours later, Los Angeles FC lifted the US Open Cup title at home in an overtime thriller against Sporting Kansas City.
By Ivan Fernandez Verified, Ivan Fernández, Iván Fernández| afroxander.com@ I almost missed out on the Copa América this year. I attempted to sign up for a press pass as I normally do for a balompié tournament in the US. I say attempted because, unfortunately, the application page for credentials via CONMEBOL left me with more questions than answers I could provide to the ones listed on the request form.
El Rey Del Corrido Rides Again: Chalino Sanchez’s Iconic Final Album Will Be Re-Released on Vinyl This Week
By Ivan Fernandez Verified, Ivan Fernández, Iván Fernández Verified| L.A. TACO Verified The phrase “The Man. The Myth. The Legend.” has been overused to the point of powerless parody, but if ever there were a single figure who could restore the truth to the phrase, it would be Rosalino Sánchez Félix. The late Mexican singer known simply as “Chalino” lived a life and career that endures more than three decades since he was murdered. His story will continue to grow, thanks in part, to the re-release of his final album, “Nieves de Enero,” this Friday.
