Brazil vs. Ecuador: Winners and Losers from International Friendly

Willian scored from a clever set piece as Brazil edged Ecuador 1-0 at East Rutherford, New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on Tuesday.

Brazil enjoyed the majority of possession against...

Retired Spain Icon Xabi Alonso Embodied the Power of La Roja

Slowly but surely, the Spain team that dominated world football between 2008 and 2012 is being disassembled—the dismantler in this instance not a manager, but the effects of time.
