Diego Salcedo
Diego Salcedo is a bilingual football writer based in Houston. He breaks down matches, tactics and the talking points of every World Cup matchday, following South American and European football closely for over a decade.
What Diego covers
At VerElPartido, Diego writes the match recaps and the matchday previews: how the score ended, the goals, the red cards and what the result means for the table and qualification. He has followed South American and European football for over a decade, and that context lets him explain not just what happened, but why it happened and what comes next for each team within its group.
How Diego works
Diego writes his recaps after watching the full match, not from headlines, leaning on the scoreline and the match events so the account stays true to what happened on the pitch. He avoids hype and manufactured controversy, preferring to explain a key moment or a tactical switch over repeating a rumour. When a result affects qualification, he connects it to what each team needs in its remaining games.

How we work at VerElPartido
Everything Diego publishes follows the same editorial standards that run across VerElPartido. We are independent of any broadcaster, streaming service or league, and no advertiser can buy a recommendation. Our viewing information — channels, prices and kickoff times — is researched and written by our team, kept free for readers, and updated as schedules and services change. When a free way to watch exists, we tell you about it first, and we always point you to the provider's own site to confirm a price or a time before you rely on it.
