I don't think we played a bad game today, but you need to have a good performance and have results. Playing away, winning 1-0, I think we deserved a better result, but you must be concentrated in your defending until the last minute. I don't know if it's mentality or a lack of concentration. West Ham's home form has been especially poor and they have not won at the London Stadium for five league games.
Vikingur Gotu is playing quite good currently. After 2 matches played, the home team brought 1 win and 1 draw. This achievement is considered quite good for their startup. Currently, they have 4 points and have high confidence in this match. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Home advantage is what they need to promote.

Iraq finished top of the group with seven points, one ahead of Qatar, after their 0-0 draw with Yemen, while the UAE have three points in third. In Group B, Saudi Arabia earned a 3-1 victory over holders Oman thanks to Hattan Bahebri's double to set up a semi-final clash with World Cup 2022 hosts Qatar.
Players) are people, they have freedom of speech, they should address issues, they can be agents for change in society," he added Baer-Hoffmann said that where players had spoken out, it had made a difference such as in recent incidents of racism where a number of them had been vocal. Manchester City and England forward Raheem Sterling is regarded as a role model after frequently speaking out against racist abuse, while in Italy Brescia forward Mario Balotelli's frequent denouncing of racism has turned it into a major issue and prompted clubs and the federation to react.
I would rate both sides as first part of the league table clubs which if given a good run of winning games can get on the top two promotion places with a bit of luck of course. Estoril won here 2-1 last season, and I watched Covilha play their last home game with Benfica B, they conceded a penalty kick, their keeper made the foul, their keeper saved it, still conceded 2 goals as they found themselves 2-1 down late in the game before a very late 2-2 goal, but I was satisfied with the way they created scoring chances in that one and did had a nice chance to make it 2-1 but the rebound after a shot ended in the crossbar, still good attack.
Josh Kroenke gives "sincere thanks" Club owner Josh Kroenke said in a statement this morning that the board and owners gave their most "sincere thanks to Unai and his colleagues who were unrelenting in their efforts to get the club back to comepeting at the level we all expect and demand. Arsenal announce the sacking of Unai Emery The #EmeryOut contingent will no doubt be pleased to hear that Arsenal's head coach of 18 months has been given the elbow, this morning.
I have a contract here until 2022," Rodgers told reporters ahead of Wednesday's match against bottom club Watford. I gave an honest answer about how all managers have some sort of clause in their contracts and suddenly that seems to have thrown a door wide open. Thus far I know managers are losing their jobs, the club have not indicated to me that they are going to sack me.

Despite last weekend's set back at Benito Villamarin, Bilbao rate as solid favourites to land the spoils in this all-Basque clash based on their excellent form at San Mames and Eibar's recent troubles.
Seattle have had some tight matches of late and this could well be another one. They lead the NFC West and could go clear this weekend with the 49ers having a difficult match against the New Orleans Saints. The Seahawks have won five games in a row and their opponents lack that consistency. Go for the Seahawks to make it six in a row.
All the managers complained about it but they [the authorities] don't care. A distance of two or three days [between games] again and again. The players suffer. They want to do well and the clubs have a lot of pressure to win or qualify for the Champions League. We push and push. The body says 'stop', 'enough'. With that number of games, the players break down. After a phenomenal start to the season, when he scored 14 goals in his first 16 games, the form of another England forward, Raheem Sterling, appears to have slowed.
Rachel Furness was the visitors' savour in the West Country, notching her first Liverpool goal after instinctively pouncing on Melissa Lawley's parried shot. The Reds now sit just outside the league's solitary relegation place on goal difference, level on six points with Tanya Oxtoby's team who have mustered just one league win all season themselves.
Manchester City have progressed from their past 12 EFL Cup ties against lower-league opponents since losing on penalties to Brighton in 2008-09 under Mark Hughes. Oxford United's eight goals in the EFL Cup this season have all been scored via different players (Brannagan, Sykes, Henry, Moore, Taylor, Fosu-Henry, Baptiste, Hall). Sergio Aguero has been directly involved in 15 goals in 14 appearances against non-Premier League opponents in domestic cup games for Manchester City (12 goals, 3 assists).
Additionally, consideration will be given to how the laws can continue to improve player behaviour and increase respect on the field of play, a topic which is regularly raised by the football public. VAR, in particular, has received widespread criticism from fans and pundits alike, especially in the English Premier League where the technology is being used for the first time this term.
Megan has blossomed late in her career. She was good when she was younger but it has taken her time to blossom on and off the pitch. Ferguson: "Rapinoe just delivers. She can go through some games where you do not think she is that involved and then she will pop up with a goal. Her calmness under pressure is so good - I just don't think pressure affects her. I'm in touch with my old Aston Villa team-mate Jack Grealish on WhatsApp pretty much every day so I will be giving him some stick before Sunday's Carabao Cup final - and joking that I don't want him to turn up this time because he is playing Manchester City.
Players play where they want to play and James, at that moment, wanted to play at Real Madrid -that’s why he stayed. Now, contracts are made when they have to be done and if they aren’t it’s because they don’t want them. Jurgen Klopp unconcerned about angering players with rotation Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he has not discussed rotation policy with his players and revealed he “can’t help” a player if they are angry about a lack of game time.
But they really didn't. At the heart of it all is the two transfer windows from the end of January 2018 until the summer of 2019 when they did not sign anyone. Pochettino had warned the club what was happening and chairman Daniel Levy decided it wasn't the time to invest in new players because his priority has been to be in the top four with minimum spend. Pochettino, who was not asking for more money but quick and clever resolutions in the market, couldn't do the job to the best of his abilities.
The Londoners were the first British team to win the UEFA Women's Cup, the precursor to the Champions League, but no British side has won the competition in its current format. The champions are Olympique Lyonnais who have won the trophy a record six times, with German sides Vfl Wolfsburg, twice, and Turbine Potsdam also triumphing since the rebrand in 2009-10.
Rakitic 6, Vidal 6, Fati 6. KEY MOMENTS 12' - GOAL! Leganes 1-0 Barcelona: The strugglers have the lead! And what a goal! Youssef En-Nesyri, take a bow! He's released on the right by Roque Mesa as Barca are carved open, he's allowed to cut inside on his stronger left foot before curling it to the top corner with a stupendous shot! 16' - Chance! Dembele's lazy back pass is cut out by Oscar, he gets the better of Busquets to open up a beautiful opportunity to double Leganes' lead, but he rushes his finish and blasts it wide.
Mainz have also been in excellent form in front of goal in recent weeks. They have scored a total of 15 goals over the past six games. Only RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund have scored more goals than Mainz over the past six games. They will be tough to keep quiet this Saturday.

Valencia and Chelsea face each other on a Champions League feature. This is the fifth fixture of the group stage. This is a group that is completely open. All 3 team Ajax Valencia and Chelsea have the same points and all will fight for the first place in the group. Last time they met Valencia won 1 - 0 in a match that Chelsea controlled, today I believe it will be tough again and I have to give the most value to the draw. They defend well, they play a similar style and both have very young teams. I predict the draw
The home team are very trustworthy they have not lost at home for 10 games. They win here often and when they slipped up they ended up with a draw. They are good defending their home ground and will once again be one of the harder teams to score against in this match at home. The away team lost here last time they played and should lose again this time, the home team have actually become much stronger than what they were last time they played this team, they have more depth now and more attacking players to score their goals.
It all depends on what mood the Celtic players are for this encounter, the starting players were rested this midweek in the Europa League having already secured 1st place in a tough group with Lazio and Rennes where the surprise was CFR Cluj 2nd finished from Romania. And I say it depends on the mood of the Celtic players as for example at the start of this season in the league they drew just 1-1 at Hibernian while in a more recent game in the League Cup also at Hibernian they won that time 5-2.

England's next game is a friendly against Italy at Wembley on 27 March, with their Euro 2020 opener against Croatia on 14 June. Phil Neville says England need to "put their money where their mouth is" against the USA, and is not afraid of throwing young players in at the deep end at the SheBelieves Cup.
Pompey took the lead inside the first 20 minutes at Fratton Park, setting them on the way to a 3-0 win. And when Huddersfield fell behind against the Blues, the south coast club were en route to survival. The same could not be said of Palace, who were still level at 0-0 at Stockport. The Terriers then levelled just before the break, putting them three points ahead of Palace and with a better goal difference.
A lot of players, including me, still don't know if we will be offered a new deal by our current clubs because the managers don't know what their budget is going to be. If the National League made a decision and said 'we start in September', then clubs could start speaking properly to players. Even if they said there will be no football at this level until fans can come back in January, then at least players would know and they could prepare financially.
Xherdan Shaqiri - SWITZERLAND v Poland, 2016 Media playback is not supported on this device Best Euros goals: Xherdan Shaqiri - Switzerland v Poland 2016 When you score an overhead kick from 18 yards, you would hope it would be enough to get your team into the quarter-finals. Sadly that wasn't the case for Switzerland's Xherdan Shaqiri but his goal against Poland did help to illuminate the tournament.
well grbalj is on last place on the table with just 18 points which is 5 points less than the next team above team on the table so surely they are looking like a team to relegate but there is still hope for them and today win could be huge for them and I Think they have pretty good chance to get it cause on the other side zeta is on fourth place and it is not realistic for zeta to try to come on third place so I think grbalj is favorite for the win here and that is why I recommend this bet
KR Reykjavik is quite likely to win this match when he is in better form than coach Joey Gudjonsson. Specifically, KR Reykjavik won the last 6/8 matches on the away field, won the last 5/10 matches, won the last 5/7 matches on the away field and won the last 4/8 matches. IA Akranes has lost the last 3/5 matches, the last 6/10 matches at home, did not win the last 8/10 matches, did not win the last 6/7 matches at home.
The BBC is reporting that Tottenham's compensation package for Mauricio Pochettino and his staff will be a tidy sum over £12m. Not a bad pay off. Some non-Tottenham news (I know, crazy) because Liverpool look like they will be without to starters on Saturday for their trip to Crystal Palace. Mo Salah has been battling an ankle injury and will reportedly miss Saturday's Premier League return while Andy Robertson missed Scotland's games against Cyprus and Kazakhstan - and appears not to have made a full recovery.
Hapoel Ramat Gan will host Hapoel Afula for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the hosts have better team than their opponent. Hosts have an effective attack. I expect, they will try to dominate on the home ground. True, the hosts have highly variable results. On the other hand Hapoel Afula is one of the main outsiders in this season. They are currently bottom of the table. Yeah, Hapoel Afula have a very difficult task in this campaign. In any case, they have the motivation to change their positions. I think, the visitors will try to make a positive result on the opposite stadium.

It offers more choice, a better atmosphere and cheaper tickets for fans.

today Casa Pia and Varzim meet in the second best male soccer league in Portugal. my advice here for this match is that it ends in a win for the away team. The home team is not a good team in this row and although the Varzim are not very good, I can see them better. Varzin has 26 pts in the standings with 16 games and is 6th in the championship. As for Casa Pia, it is currently 17th in the ranking and has 8 pts with 16 games played, it is the penultimate of the championship. Varzim wins for this match.

Lazio managed to cap off 2019 with a brilliant run of form, but how will they start the New Year? They travel to meet Brescia this week, with the hosts trying to battle to avoid the drop. However, Brescia finished 2019 with one point from their last two games and that left them in the bottom three.
Jordan Ayew's solo strike earned Palace a 2-1 home victory over West Ham United on Thursday, but the veteran coach's side, who were already without several injured players, lost defender Patrick van Aanholt midway through the second half. Hodgson, who has guided the club to ninth in the Premier League with 26 points from 19 games, is out of contract in June 2020 and the 72-year-old said he hoped to have more players at his disposal if he decides to sign an extension.
The start of the lucrative Indian Premier League Twenty20 cricket competition (IPL) has also been postponed until April 15 as a "precautionary measure", the Indian cricket board (BCCI) said. Some major sports events are going ahead though. In Britain the week-long Cheltenham horse racing festival, attracting thousands of fans each day, was gearing up for its blue-riband Gold Cup later on Friday.
A move to Liverpool would be strange if Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah are still at Anfield, but if Manchester United don't qualify for next season's Champions League, it will certainly limit the teen's options if he wishes to compete at the highest level. Read the full story Chelsea draw up left-back shortlist Chelsea are readying a transfer wishlist ahead of the winter window as the club looks to strengthen in the left-back area, according to the Sun.
Going to this game, Ulsan seems the stronger of the two; they have a stronger squad and have strengthened even more. They will be more confident than a much changed Sangju side who play knowing too well they will still be relegated. Sangju may have a few hungry players, but they will definitely take time to gel and their inexperience will be no match for Ulsan. We predict a 2-0 win for Ulsan.

He shone last season, scoring 21 goals and providing 24 assists as Ajax won a domestic double, and came close to reaching the Champions League final only to be denied by Tottenham's extraordinary late second-leg fightback. Ziyech also contributed to three Ajax goals in a 4-4 draw against Chelsea during their Champions League group game in November of this season. His performances in the Champions League for Ajax have been astonishing," Van der Kraan continued.
Kilmarnock are to furlough the majority of employees - including players and coaching staff - until the end of May. The club will supplement wages of those on the job retention scheme, which pays 80% of salaries up to £2,500 per month, so that nobody's income is reduced. Manager Alex Dyer and head of football operations James Fowler are among "a small number of employees" who will continue to work from home.
