Of course he should go if he wants to, I will support him," Zidane told a news conference ahead of his side's La Liga match away to Levante on Saturday. It's very beautiful to play for your country and especially for a player like him who has done what he has done in his career. Speaking in October, Ramos said he was excited by the prospect of playing for Spain at the Games in Tokyo.
News on Harry we don’t have, and if you ask me every time we come here the answer will be the same. We expect him to be out until mid-April, end of April, May, next season, I don’t know. Naturally, panic set in among some, particularly after Tottenham’s Kane-less performance against Liverpool at the weekend – not so much at the idea that they couldn’t cope without their centre-forward, but at the prospect of how Mourinho will tell his team to play without him.
Armenia this game we can say that they are ready to perform as looking at the last games this two teams have meet together the home team and the away team are very defensive team but the home team Armenia have not being defeated in their home games by this team and so this makes us to be very sure that this game the home team will not lose this game
Villa Miter is not in good shape right now. They have not won in their last 6 matches. They are coming from a defeat against Deportivo mitrovyn. They sit on 9th spot right now managing 14 points from 11 matches. They have won 3 matches, drawn 5 matches and lost 3 matches.
Hello everyone tipsters from this great game. This is a my second bet for today again from England but now I will take this bet from League 1 between this two teams. They need to take win here if they want to play next year in the Championship. The guest team have three points more and they have two games less that's why they are in good position to attack the sixth place. Ipswich need to take win because if they lose here three points everything for them will finish today. I think here the home team will take a win.
It awakened the small boy in him, the one who sneaked into Hampden Park to watch Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3 in the 1960 final. It brought a glamour and prestige that even 13 domestic titles could not provide. And it was the acid test of his intelligence, tactical awareness and man-management ability.
Saddened to hear that Jack Charlton has passed away," wrote former England striker Gary Lineker on Twitter. World Cup winner with England, manager of probably the best ever Ireland side and a wonderfully infectious personality to boot. RIP Jack. Former Republic of Ireland forward John Aldridge said: "Absolutely gutted that big Jack has passed away. What a football man, loved and adored, especially in Ireland.

The Hammers - whose fans staged protests against the club's owners throughout - threatened to inflict Liverpool's first league defeat this term when they led midway through the second half. Liverpool took an early lead when Fabianski failed to deal with a routine Gini Wijnaldum header but David Moyes' side showed great character to hit back through Issa Diop's header, which should also have been kept out by Alisson.
Football’s blanket policy is to offer players deals that expire on June 30 of a specific year. Smart, right? Protocol be damned, the Premier League and UEFA had the chance to take the lead and they blew it FA chief 'says season cannot be finished', 'total shutdown' until September - reports Not now. There’s a good chance – if the football season isn’t null and voided – that the 2019-20 season could stretch beyond that date, awkwardly leaving some players out of contract mid-season.
LIVE Coronavirus in sport: Wimbledon cancelled, UEFA postpone June games According to Julian Knight MP, the Premier League is living in a “moral vacuum”. This follows the decision of a number of clubs, most notably Tottenham, to avail themselves of governmental relief money by furloughing non-playing staff while the players, some of whom earn more than seems sensible, proceed apparently untroubled.
Although it's early days in the partnership, they remind me of Bryan Robson and Ray Wilkins and the way they used to link up and influence the play. If Fernandes and Pogba can have the same influence as Robson and Wilkins then good times are certainly on the horizon at Old Trafford. Did you know? Since making his Premier League debut at the start of February, no Manchester United player has been directly involved in more goals than Fernandes (six - joint-high along with Anthony Martial).
Home form has seen Oxford lose only to Manchester City over 90 minutes in their last 14 matches. United have kept home clean sheets in their last seven home league games, last conceding in September. To reach this third round, Oxford have beaten Hayes and Yeading and Walsall, both away from home and without conceding a goal.
Lecce takes in Cagliari on this Serie A clash. Cagliari is doing an incredible season so far. They won against some of the classic good teams from Italy. Obviously they do not have the means to fight for the title but they are still doing an incredible campaign. Although all of that is true Lecce also plays well. Despite the low points and low on scoreboard they make things very difficult for other teams especially when they play at home. That being said I believe Cagliari can win but the odd for the draw is very high and we have to go with the value here.
In the Premier League, Tottenham have just one clean sheet to their name all season after 13 games, and with Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez still largely underperforming in central defence, we don't expect Spurs to keep Bournemouth out on Saturday.
Looking at the last six both teams have good form 13 points against 14 points, though overall points it's 33 points against 38 points which again I don't think IIS far just five points apart and also it is a 4th placed team against 3rd
Young Boys have won both of their home games in Group G against Feyenoord and Rangers so have the confidence and the ability to secure all three points on Thursday to keep that 100% home record going, while Porto have lost both of their away games against Feyenoord and Rangers. Young Boys have scored two goals in each of their home games in Group G, only conceding once, while Porto have conceded two goals in both of their away games and are yet to score on the road.

Poor from Taylor as he is caught in possession by Pereira, who delightfully feeds Martial, with the Frenchman having time to slot home his third goal in the last two games. SAVE! Finally De Gea is called into action, by the unlikely boot of Bardsley, but the Spaniard is down sharply to palm the ball wide.
Current Liverpool players Andy Robertson and Virgil van Dijk narrowly miss out on the Hull City and Southampton selections respectively. I could do this another ten times and probably get ten different starting XIs, but I like the balance of my side. Gareth Bale at TottenhamEurosport *** ‘This team would actually work well in real life’ Demi D’Cunha’s XI: David de Gea (Man Utd); Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea), Virgil van Dijk (Southampton), Fabricio Coloccini (Newcastle), Leighton Baines (Everton), Gareth Bale (Tottenham), Yaya Toure (Man City), N’Golo Kante (Leicester); Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal), Luis Suarez (Liverpool), Romelu Lukaku (West Brom) Manager: Brendan Rodgers - Swansea It's a fairly balanced team and I think it would genuinely work in real life.
Pochettino guided the Lilywhites to four successive top-four finishes and took the club to the Champions League final last season but Mourinho faces a 1-0 deficit from the first leg in the round of 16 tie with RB Leipzig in this year's competition, while his team are seventh in the league. The Portuguese had claimed he would have to prioritise either Saturday's league game at Burnley or Tuesday's Champions League trip to Germany because of the injury crisis.
Last season's beaten finalists Tottenham will go through if they beat Olympiakos on Tuesday, or if they draw and Red Star Belgrade fail to beat Bayern Munich. Olympiakos are bottom with just a single point and would need results to go their way to go through. Remaining fixtures:Tuesday, 26 November - Tottenham v Olympiakos, Red Star Belgrade v Bayern MunichWednesday, 11 December - Bayern Munich v Tottenham, Olympiakos v Red Star BelgradeGroup C Premier League champions Manchester City missed the chance to seal their last-16 place by being held to a 1-1 draw by Group C's bottom side Atalanta, who could stand a chance of progressing by winning both their games.
The result allowed fifth-placed Sheffield United to close the gap on Chelsea to four points and Manchester United could move within two points if they beat Everton at Old Tarfford on Sunday. Meanwhile, Eddie Howe's charges jump up to 14th, four points above the drop zone. Dan Gosling of AFC Bournemouth scores his team's first goal which is given following a VAR check during the Premier League match between Chelsea FC and AFC Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on December 14, 2019 in London, United Kingdom.
Everton, who were almost always first to the ball, played fast and furiously as Goodison roared its approval at a win that moved the club provisionally out of the relegation zone. Ferguson said it was "not realistic" to consider himself a candidate as permanent manager but, with no obvious alternative in sight, there will be those who may now disagree.
I watched Saudi Arabia fc against Paraguay and to be fair they were very unlucky to have not of won that match, they play really good football at home and against a team like Kuwait they should beating this team in a good way, Kuwait won there last match against Nepal only 1-0 and if Saudi Arabia fc were to play Nepal it would be more than one goal, I think overall they will create a lot of chances and even if Kuwait score a goal I believe Saudi Arabia will be the better team and will score the more goals
But Minamino, who will sign for the Reds from Red Bull Salzburg on 1 January, is not just any Japanese player. Ronaldo and Kenta - Minamino's inspirationsMinamino has spoken of how Brazil's Ronaldo - who top scored at the World Cup Japan co-hosted in 2002 - inspired him with his finishing and dribbling technique. After meticulously watching videos of the striker's feints, he would go outside to practise.
Slavia Mozyr will host BATE Borisov for the Cup. In my opinion, the visitors are favorites in this game. BATE is one of the best teams in Belarus. Yeah, BATE shows a not very good results at the start of the new season. However, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory. In any case, I expect, the visitors will try to dominate in this game. They tend to score a goal. Also, we have Slavia who's is very average team. Nevertheless, the hosts to capitalize advantage on their pitch. Of course, this will not be an easy task. I think, the visitors will closer to victory.
TALKING POINT Arsenal need to act fast. If this was an audition to claim the Arsenal job on a permanent basis, then Ljungberg came up well short. To be fair, the Swede is a managerial novice and it is going to take significant changes at the club to undo a continuing decline. He's picked up one win in five at the helm, but masterminding a victory here was always going to be a tall order.

Another under 3,5 goals on the horizon, the last match at Armenia finished 1 x 2 actually, a defeat. This year they are performing much better though. They will most likely ascend to the main Bundesliga next year. I don't think we will see Osnabruck scoring here as Armenia is very strong not conceding at home this season, only 10 goals so far conceded at home. And on the other side we have Osnabruck scoring only 14 goals away. In the first round at Osnabruck we saw a narrow win for Armenia 0 x 1. We will see a 2 x 0 here this time
On the face of it, it might seem a bizarrely-timed decision. But this is Barcelona we are talking about. Why this came as a surprise to no-one - Valverde includedFor some time now, the 55-year-old Valverde has been spoken to by the movers and shakers at the club over matters that have been concerning them regarding the team's form. Many feel the side is going backwards, there are doubts being expressed about the physical preparation of the players and the substitutions during games, rumours of a charged atmosphere in the dressing room are rife and there seems to be a lethargy, complacency and general malaise about the place.
The manager worked for a long time at a club that is very similar to West Ham in Everton, and you don't stay at a club for that long under the scrutiny of passionate fans unless you are good at your job. I think David is the best person for the job. West Ham, who have lost seven of their last nine matches to sit one point above the drop zone, host 16th-placed Bournemouth in Moyes's first match in charge on Wednesday.
Find out more here. The Argentine striker struck City's third, fifth and sixth goals at Villa Park to take his league tally to 177, two more than Frenchman Thierry Henry managed for Arsenal and fourth on the all-time list alongside Frank Lampard. City's resounding victory, in which Riyad Mahrez also scored twice and Gabriel Jesus once, meant they moved above Leicester City and trimmed Liverpool's lead to 14 points, although Liverpool have played a game less.
I don't like it when my friends are injured but I work hard every day and I'm ready to play. It's not easy. Sometimes I'm not happy because I want to play but I keep on working. When I decided to come to City I knew it was going to be hard because we have Sergio, who is the top scorer of the club and he scores every game. I know this but I think I have a chance to play with Pep, with top players here and at a great big club, so that is why I came, to enjoy and learn.
The hosts score an average of 1.71 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.29 goals while Benfica score an average of 2.29 goals per away game and concede an average of 0.43 goals, and we have backed the visitors to claim a 2-1 win. Sporting’s home games produce an average of 3.00 total goals while Benfica’s away games produce an average of 2.71 total goals, which is why we have backed three goals to be scored in Friday’s clash.
A major part of Fiorentina’s struggles is their lack of solidity at the back. They’ve conceded 1.75 goals per game on the road, while the visitors have shipped a goal in each of their last nine matches in Serie A. Now they head into this game to face a well rounded Bologna attack.
This will be a tough game to call. Krasnodar need victory if they will want to proceed to the knockout stages. Getafe on the other hand only need a draw. We expect this to be a tight game so we are backing a draw on the Spanish sides soil.

The thing that binds us all together is the support. It's glaringly obvious just watching the games being played behind closed doors in the Bundesliga right now that it's not the same without the crowds. Only once did the season threaten to derail, back in October, when they lost twice in successive games, a 4-0 thrashing at rivals Rotherham, then at home to struggling Tranmere - their only defeat at St Andrew's - and picked up just six points in a run of six games.
I loved boxing, was brought up with it and had trained in it since I was a teenager. I did go on to present boxing - I was even the first woman globally to host a heavyweight world title fight. There is a lot of this unconscious bias in the industry. The male must know what they are doing, the female must be there to make up the numbers," seems to be the message. It's rarely the public I got most of the sexist comments from, it was people within the industry at a senior level who are very good at box-ticking, but internally harbour gender bias.
