Christian Pulisic treble as USA rout Panama to all-but seal FIFA World Cup berth
Christian Pulisic scored a hat trick as the United States thrashed Panama 5-1 on Sunday to all-but guarantee their qualification for the 2022 World Cup. Pulisic scored a pair of first-half penalties -- both given against Panama captain Anibal Godoy -- before completing his treble with a virtuoso goal in the second half to leave the US with one foot in this year's finals in Qatar. Jesus Ferreira and Paul Arriola scored the other goals for the US in a victory at Orlando's Exploria Stadium that ended Panama's hopes of qualifying from the CONCACAF region. The win means the United States need only avoid a catastrophically heavy defeat in their final game against Costa Rica on Wednesday to qualify automatically. The United States have 25 points from 13 matches, while Costa Rica are three points behind following their win over El Salvador earlier Sunday.

FIFA World Cup finals for just the second time on Sunday, beating Jamaica 4-0 to book their ticket to Qatar and end 36 years of failure and heartache. While Canada celebrated, Mexico and the United States will have to wait to learn their fate despite picking up wins along with Costa Rica, who also kept their Qatar hopes alive.

Y de repente, un partido que es un regalo para Las Palmas y Leganés
En el fútbol puede pasar de todo. Incluso, lo más inesperado. Que le pregunten a Las Palmas y Leganés, que de repente se han visto de nuevo metidos en la pelea por unos playoff, ahora regalo inesperado, de los que se podían ir olvidando hasta hace bien poco. Tras los resultados de las últimas dos jornadas, (empate y derrota), los puestos de honor podrían quedar, en caso de victoria, a cuatro y seis puntos, respectivamente. Para cualquiera, no ganar prolongaría esa incómoda sensación de agonía .

Good morning, City fans! Here are your Leicester City headlines on the morning of Monday, March 28, 2022.
Leyendas contra las cuerdas
Pasan los días y cada vez son menos las plazas vacantes para acudir al Mundial de Qatar. En Sudamérica, por ejemplo, solo queda en juego el quinto puesto que da entrada a la repesca. Una repesca que se está celebrando estos días en Europa y en la que Italia ya ha quedado eliminada. No veremos a Donnaruma, Bonucci, Jorginho ni Chiesa en el Mundial. Una pena. Pero no serán las únicas estrellas que se lo perderán. Jugadores como Cristiano, Ibrahimovic, Falcao, Arturo Vidal, Lewandowski, Keylor Navas o Paolo Guerrero, entre otros, se juegan estos días la oportunidad de ir a su última Copa del Mundo. Alguno no lo conseguirá.
