There have been enough major football tournament draws in the age of social media for us to know how this plays out. It starts with agonising over the permutations, moves on to wondering which football legend you'll end up thanking for giving your team a favourable draw, and ends with everyone thinking they "have a chance". Euro 2020 will be a tournament like no other - 51 matches, across 12 host nations - and it brings with it a pretty abstract format.
The ball is coming at you from twelve yards away, at a ridiculous pace, giving you even less time to react. Now imagine that you are a professional goalkeeper, facing a professional taker with increased accuracy and power. Of course as a professional keeper your reactions will be increased but the balance will be more uneven, at least at amateur level there’s a good chance that the taker might completely scuff their attempt.
Wolves, who have proven their ability to mix with the best teams in the league, will fancy their chances of making it into the top four with late-season clashes with Arsenal and Chelsea to come, while Sheffield United are still in the mix after an extraordinary return to the top flight. Quite simply, there is a complete lack of quality among many of the Premier League's biggest clubs.
His first touch, 22 seconds after coming on, was a good header that forced a decent flying save from Oliver Kahn – the first serious save he’d had to make in the match. They've gone. We've got them" Whether it was fatigue, nerves, Solskjaer’s introduction, the removal of Matthaus or a combination of all four, the match underwent a character change in the 87th minute.
But dreams do come true. I prayed about it and it happened. When my agent told me about it I was hoping and longing, but I was having doubts in my mind because I was in China. How was I going to fly to the UK? Am I going to beat this coronavirus to get in and United have another striker they are looking at?I was happy my name was being mentioned but I did not put my mind on it 100% because I thought it was not going to happen because of the situation in China.
Griffiths had gone into this tie having failed to find the net for nearly five hours, stretching back 13 games and five testing months. He made sure that 13 games did not become 14 games and he did it early. Only a dozen minutes had been played when he struck. Celtic had lost Nir Bitton to injury by then - Jozo Simunovic replaced him - and had created decent chances for Tom Rogic and Odsonne Edouard, but it was Griffiths who got the job done.
On 1 May 1990, Liverpool's players paraded the top-flight league-winners' trophy around a packed and joyous Anfield. They would not win the title again for another 30 years but the relative drought was not due to a lack of trying. Transfers were made, goals scored and games won, but it was never quite enough until this remarkable record-breaking season. Now that their wait is over, BBC Sport looks back at the players, managers, money and more that Liverpool have put in to the pursuit of number 19.
The victory was inspired in large part by attacking right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold who created three goals and scored one himself. Popping up in the inside-left position, Alexander-Arnold floated a pinpoint cross to the backpost for Brazilian Firmino to head Liverpool into the lead in the 31st minute.
He then backed away from the management role before having a spell at Newcastle United. Dalglish was back as Liverpool caretaker manager in January 2011 after Roy Hodgson was sacked. He got the job full-time and even though he was sacked after one full season in 2011-2012, he still won the League Cup and took Liverpool to the FA Cup Final, where they lost to Chelsea. Alex Ferguson guided Manchester United to 13 Premier League titles during his time as manager at Old TraffordSir Alex FergusonClubs managed: Aberdeen 1978-86, Man Utd 1986-2013Honours: European Cup Winners' Cup: 1983.
The last time these two sides met at this venue the points were shared and five of the duo’s last six encounters have produced over 2.5 goals and have seen both teams score, so you can see why we are expecting goals from Friday’s clash. The form of both teams was hit and miss towards the end of 2019 with Telstar picking up two wins, two draws, and two defeats, while Eindhoven lost three times drew once and won twice but remain in the KNVB Beker, unlike Friday’s hosts.
Away team made a big victory in their first duel of the season with Varnsdorf, and they should try to repeat at least part of that performance, in order to get close to the playoff position in the competition.
Clout said her problems from concussion have not gone away and have impacted her daily life. This goes beyond football. This is about life, about being able to enjoy relationships with family and friends, about being able to work or play sports," said Clout. Former United States international striker Taylor Twellman, who has been campaigning on the issue for several years through his 'Think Taylor' organisation, says he supports the FIFPRO plan.
Portuguese midfielder Fernandes joined United for an initial fee of 55 million euros ($61. The 25-year-old has been pulling strings in United's attack to bag two goals -- against Watford and Everton -- and three assists in the league since his debut last month, helping the club beat top four opponents Chelsea and Manchester City.
I looked at United's team before the Liverpool game and thought: "Where has all the money gone?" They have spent a lot in the past few years without having very much to show for it. Go through that line-up and it does not strike fear into anyone, which is a worry - and on the pitch things are not much better. Every time I watch United, I feel like they are miles off where they want to be. Halfway through Solskjaer's first full season in charge, I am not convinced they are getting any nearer.
While Cesar Azpilicueta has been solid down the right side, the choice of Marcos Alonso and Emerson is a sticking point at left-back. Ben Chilwell might be a fans’ first choice, however there’s likely no chance that Leicester will let him leave in January, particularly to a top-four rival. It might be a case of waiting until the summer to make that happen.
Every week. FFP was introduced to prevent clubs from lobbing ridiculous amounts of money at trying to become successful. It has obviously failed - see PSG and Man City. If UEFA want it to be a success, they have to enforce it, so if clubs do not adhere to the hard and fast rules imposed by Europe's governing body then it is the governing body's wont to sanction clubs.

This is Colchester's first appearance in the League Cup quarter-finals since 1974-75, when they faced Aston Villa and lost 2-1. Their gap of 45 seasons between quarter-final appearances is the second longest ever, behind only Cardiff City's 46-season gap between 1965-66 and 2011-12. Manchester United have progressed from all 10 of their previous League Cup ties against fourth-tier opposition, most recently in October 2011 against Aldershot Town.
In addition, the EFL have been asked what happens in respect of players who are out of contract on 30 June. Crucially, the EFL is also being asked whether clubs who have deferred wages will still be allowed to sign new players in the summer, thereby adding to a wage bill they have not been able to meet. Some clubs have been unhappy for a while now about apparent flouting of financial fair play (FFP) rules.
Hi! SPAL are coming off a 0-0 draw at Udinese in their previous Serie A fixture. SPAL are deep in relegation trouble having failed to win in their last five Serie A matches. Genoa are also coming off a 0-0 draw with the Napoli match. Genoa have just one win in their last 10 matches. SPAL have just one win from four matches against Genoa while the last three fixtures have ended in draws. All four meetings have produced under 2.5 goals. With three of the last four meetings ending in draws, the bookies are about the same time game incoming. Me chooses the same! Good game!
Skala was team that finished in the well spot in the season behind, and they won all games against this rival in the recent five duel. However, they could be little cautions, since it is the start of the competition, and away side is coming with quite better squad, than in the previous league.
Conceded by Aaron Ramsdale. SubstitutionPosted at 50' Substitution, Bournemouth. Dan Gosling replaces Philip Billing. Leeds United have said they "will ensure there are no more offensive images" after a photograph of Osama Bin Laden was placed on a seat at their Elland Road ground. Supporters are unable to attend the remaining games of the season because of the coronavirus pandemic.
In the first half, our passing was lacklustre and that was why we suffered," he said. The second half was better but not good enough for a Champions League match. Such constant public criticism is unusual as it could risk alienating either the players or the club leadership. Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte suggested earlier this season that Sarri's complaints might ring hollow now he is in charge of the team with Serie A's biggest spending power.
The derby win over Torino was also notable for Gianluigi Buffon's record-breaking 648th Serie A appearance. Paulo Dybala put Juve ahead and Ronaldo set up a Juan Cuadrado goal. Andrea Belotti pulled one back before Ronaldo struck, with the final goal a Torino own goal. Ronaldo has now scored 46 free-kick goals at club level, with 32 for Real Madrid and 13 for Manchester United. He becomes the first Juve player to score 25 goals in a Serie A season since Omar Sivori in 1960-61.
Elite football in England is suspended until at least 3 April, with the game halted indefinitely in Scotland, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United States. Fifa has also said that rules regarding the release of players for international duty will be relaxed over the next two months. The situation is rapidly evolving across the world and various international travel restrictions have already been imposed by different public authorities," a statement read.
They played too many backward passes against Wolves. What happens is the team tries to bypass them and attempts to get the ball to their front four as quickly as possible. That is understandable really, because of how good those forwards are, and sometimes that direct approach will work. But in certain games - like Wolves, United and Bayern in the past couple of weeks - you are going to be vulnerable whenever you lose the ball.
This fixture features no. 15 vs no. 8 in the league, Bologna vs Parma. The hosts coming from a 3 - 1 loss to Sassuolo (no. 14 in the league) and their last he game a 1 - 2 loss to inter. The visitors coming from a 2 - 0 win over Roma ( no. 5 in the league ) and their last away game a 1 - 1 draw with Fiorentina. The visitors should win this game as they played a higher table team than the hosts in their last away game and drew the match then come from a win to a team above themselves facing a team coming from a loss to a team below the visitors but played a team above the visitors and scored and conceded in their last home game so an over 2.5 is beat to tip here.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says there is no "quick fix" to improve his squad. Pressure is mounting on Solskjaer to make January signings after Wednesday's 2-0 home defeat by Burnley. It was a second straight Premier League loss and the players were jeered. We've had one proper transfer window and we're trying to do something now," said Solskjaer, who took over - initially on an interim basis - in December 2018.
Man of the match - Jairo Riedewald (Crystal Palace) Jairo Riedewald made three tackles, two interceptions and four clearances as he impressed at left back for PalaceMatch statsCrystal Palace have gone four consecutive league games without defeat against Arsenal for the first time (W1 D3).

There is no way that Jones would have started in that fixture had three Premier League points been on the table. Less heralded, but no less impressive was the hat-trick from another 18-year-old, Norwich City's Irish forward Adam Idah, who ripped Preston North End apart on only his second senior start with a mature display of confident finishing.
Bournemouth only had two shots on target, with one of those coming from Junior Stanislas on his return from eight months out with a knee injury. Graham Potter's Brighton move three points above Bournemouth, with both clubs on a similar run of form - one win in eight before this game - and only previously separated on goals scored.

Sokratis Papstathopoulos and Eddie Nketiah got the goals, as Mikel Arteta’s side recovered from the funk that overcame them in the Europa League last week to win this one with ease. This is now arguably Arsenal’s most important competition, given that they’re out of Europe and have a pretty significant task on their hands to qualify for the Champions League, even with Manchester City’s UEFA ban creating an extra spot in the Premier League.
Luton themselves made five changes from their surprise weekend win at Swansea, with Glen Rea getting injured in the warm-up and Danny Hylton getting his first start since March 2019. Their breakaway goal came from a Ryan Tunnicliffe through ball which found sub Cornick, who was being shepherded by Ben White but managed to open his body and bend into the top corner past Illan Meslier. Sluga made a great double save to stop a Kalvin Phillips free-kick and Alioski follow-up but could not keep out Dallas' composed effort, which came three minutes after the introduction of Leeds talisman Pablo Hernandez.
Bull scored in the first leg at Molineux, as Wolves took a 2-1 lead into a dramatic second leg at Burnden Park. Bolton striker John McGinlay took it to extra time, before appearing to punch Bull's strike partner David Kelly in the face. He only received a yellow card, then scored again to send Bolton to Wembley, where they beat Reading to win promotion. Steve Bull scored 306 goals for Wolves before retiring in 1999"Bolton and John McGinlay were a thorn in our side," said Bull.
I expect here that the home team will justify the role of favorites and I believe that they will be able to win, I think that from the very beginning of the match the home team will dominate to play offensively, arrange chances to create chances and I believe that some of the actions will succeed to score and thus gain the advantage, I think the guests will then open up to try to score and I believe they will be able to score one goal by the end of the first part of the match and in the continuation of the match I think they will be goals and my guess is over 2.5 goals to be scored here.
While most teams have five or six players who have featured for more than 75% of all league minutes, poor form and a plethora of injuries mean that Toby Alderweireld is the only one to do so for Spurs this season. With Christian Eriksen already gone, Jan Vertonghen set to leave and Tanguy Ndombele reportedly unsettled, Jose Mourinho has a lot of work on his hands, although he does have a promising group of young prospects to work with.
Enemy is in very bad shape, after 6 matches since the beginning of the season they have 5 losses and 1 draw. Across the field, despite being promoted for the first time, Tenhult played very well in friendly matches. After 6 matches, the representative of the city of Tenhult has accumulated 4 wins, which is more than Eneby's. Last season, they were ranked 1st on the table but they have a lot of hope this season
She added: "My performances brought me here, and I sure want to keep writing history with the help of Nike, on and off the field. I am thrilled to be part of this team. Victor Bernard, Hegerberg's agent, said: "This is an historic contract and a true commitment both to Ada and women's football. Hegerberg was the first winner of the women's Ballon d'Or in 2018 and was also named BBC Women's Footballer of the Year in 2017 and 2019.
I have been a bit critical of Neymar at times and we all agreed he didn't always have the best attitude and it took him to time to settle. Now a very different time, at the moment I only have love for him. Let Neymar do his thing' after showboat booking Neymar was booked by the referee for showboatingIn the 5-0 thrashing of Montpellier on Saturday, Neymar was given a yellow card by the referee for showboating.
We're expecting Rennes to do a little bit better on the road than usual due to their motivating win on Sunday but Metz have drawn three of their last four league games and will prove stiff opponents. We're backing a 1-1 draw here as both teams have been consistently scoring but neither seem capable of a win at the moment. We're also backing both teams to score as the market has won in five of Metz's last six home games in all competitions as well as five of Rennes' last six away matches.
It was a black, black day. Now we've got the chance to put it behind us just a bit," said Hertha's general manager Michael Preetz. The conditions are very different, therefore it's a different sort of derby," added new Hertha coach Bruno Labbadia - who began his reign with a win at Hoffenheim last Saturday. Union coach Urs Fischer missed the 2-0 loss at home to Bayern Munich last weekend after breaking the team quarantine following a family bereavement, but he'll be back in the dugout.
Tottenham and England striker Harry Kane has suffered a torn hamstring, the club have announced. He limped off during the defeat at Southampton on Wednesday and on Friday manager Jose Mourinho said he was expecting "bad news". No timescale has been given for his return but he is likely to miss several weeks of action, including the FA Cup tie at Middlesbrough on Sunday. Head up. Tough times don't last, tough people do," Kane tweeted.
Meanwhile, it doesn't feel too long ago since we were seeing Yeovil competing in the second tier of English football but they now find themselves in the National League. The side dropped out of League Two last season and are now desperate to ensure their non-league stay is a short one via securing promotion.
Since their return to the top flight in the 2016-17 season the Clarets have been frugal with their spending. Their most expensive signings to date remain the £15m they spent on both defender Ben Gibson and striker Wood. The primary thought for a club the size of Burnley is to use their Premier League income to secure their future. Dyche has, as a consequence, been rightly lauded for keeping the Clarets in the division, but the question is for how much longer can the 48-year-old perform miracles? His motivational abilities were tested at Turf Moor as he faced five successive league losses as Burnley boss for the first time.
Their manager, Ladislas Lozano, who had fled Spain with his family as a child to escape the Franco regime, was a council foreman responsible for tending to the area’s sporting facilities. But every successive cup win that season brought football and its emotional and financial rewards to the foreground and enabled players and fans alike to briefly forget about day-to-day hardships. Calais-mania'Four fellow amateur sides and one semi-professional outfit (Dunkerque) were dispatched en route to the round of 32 and a clash with their first fully professional opponent, Lille, then a Ligue 2 side.
