That's a good question," Favre said. "I think we may have seen the last of Aaron in Green Bay. I don't know that for certain, it's just a gut [feeling].

Les Miles told me I couldn't play receiver when I was coming out of high school," Chase said. "So that was something I had on my shoulders growing up. Les Miles told me he thought I could play cornerback. I wasn't really at the full position of receiver yet so I just kept working at my craft...

After the Brazil vs Ecuador game ended, it was time for Argentina to face Chile in a gruesome fight for the last two tickets to the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Lionel Messi could've been part of this game but he is just getting out of the COVID-19 restrictions. He is no longer contagious but he still tests positive in the PCR, which means he isn't eligible to play until he tests negative. Coach Lionel Scaloni was also positive and didn't even make the trip to Chile for this match. Chile was in dire need of three points if they wanted to keep hopes for a spot to Qatar, they felt a victory was possible with Argentina not having Messi on the pitch. But they thought wrong. During the first half, Angel Di Maria drew first blood with a spectacular long-range goal that put the Albiceleste ahead in the...

PAVEL IBARRA MEDAActualizado 28/01/2022 - 01:34 With no Neymar to help them, Brazil barely managed to get a draw at Ecuador in the first Conmebol World Cup Qualfier for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. This is the final stretch before the massive tournament takes place in December of this year. Just as it tends to happen in these types of games from South America, the Ecuador vs Brasil match was an all out war. In fact, there were far more fouls than usual that got Emerson and Alexander Dominguez. But the biggest protagonist of the game was referee Wilmar Roldan, who showed Alisson Becker the red card twice and retracted his decision twice due to VAR. This had never occured in professional football before, Alisson only finished the game after over 100 minutes with a yellow card. No joke, the f...
