However, something cataclysmic is in danger of taking place. After mesmeric runs and a glut of scalps by both Celtic and Rangers, Scotland are soaring in 15th place and currently heading for an extra Champions League spot in 2021-22. It has gone from an unholy mess to touching distance of the Holy Grail. Rangers must wait for last-32 placeCeltic beat Rennes to confirm top spotGerrard queries 'blatant' penalty callThe mess in Malmo & Pedro in a hedgeThere were a series of calamities that dragged Scotland to that grim position in 2016, with the finger pointed in various directions.
I was losing, I didn't want the game stopped but immediately when I knew the reason why it was stopped I obviously understood and accepted it," said Mourinho. The club is also a very proud club in this kind of situation and the club also internally will try to delete it. I'm disappointed that things like that still can happen, but the referee stopped the game.

Those last two seasons at United are why he has to be high up the list. Shearer: "He was on his way to superstardom at Manchester United. He wasn't afraid to go in there and wear that number seven shirt when you consider the players who wore it beforehand like Cantona, [David] Beckham, [George] Best and [Bryan] Robson.

While Norway has hosted some well-known names, like former Denmark international Nicklas Bendtner, salaries are usually a lot lower than those on offer in bigger European leagues, despite the relatively high taxes and cost of living. Young players on modest deals and non-Norwegians on short-term contracts are particularly vulnerable.
However, five minutes later, Juan Mata's corner was met by Didier Drogba. His header had no right to beat Manuel Neuer at his near post, but the power generated by the Ivorian was such that the German goalkeeper could not keep it out, despite getting a hand to it. The game went to penalties, and the rest is history… Didier Drogba powers his header beyond Manuel NeuerMario Mandzukic - Juventus v Real Madrid (2017) Had Juventus gone on to win this game, rather than suffering a 4-1 defeat, this may have gone down as the greatest.
Well this is the most logical choice for me here . . Both teams started the new campaign bad. Torpedo Kutaisi lost from Dila Gori with 2 - 0 and from Samtredia 1 - 0 while on the other side Chikhura lost from Saburtalo Tbilisi 2 - 1 and from Lokomotiv Tbilisi 3 - 1 ..Both teams had a very tough opening match and for sure that the players are exhausted..When it comes to quality and experience they are similar for sure . Whenever this two teams meet each other the matches are usually very even and tough and that should be the case today certainly . . Good Luck fellas

Mane is a master of all trades, a jack of none. He is a goalscorer, a creator, a selfless defender. He never stops - he is the embodiment of this Klopp team. Players lead in many different ways - some shout and bawl, others lead by their brilliance married with a ferocious work ethic. Mane is the latter and would be a deserving winner of the PFA Player of the Year Award.

Manchester United take on Manchester City in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday - the first Manchester derby of the decade. The two teams met 26 times in all competitions in the 2010s with 12 wins for City, 11 victories for United and three draws. But can you name all of the goalscorers from those matches? We have not included own goals so there are 34 different players and to help you we have included the side they were playing for at the time and the country that they come from.
Saint Etienne have won just three of their last 12 matches, so we are struggling to back them here. Meanwhile, Nimes have won only twice in 17 matches in Ligue 1 this term. Neither side have much of a winning record behind them, while the visitors come into this clash with back to back 1-1 draws in this competition. Following that run we’re going for another score draw here, with 1-1 our correct score pick.
Sivasspor is in a very important stage of the season and just one defeat will make them pay with a championship or tickets to the European arena next season. If before the 26th round, Sivasspor temporarily ranked in 4th place with 49 points and they are only 2 points behind the top teams (the group participating in the Champions League season 2020/21) is only 3 points. Looking at the current situation, coach R. Çalımbay's team desperately needed a victory in the late game of the 26th round, so they put pressure on the opponents in the championship race of the Turkish league.
In his personal diary Moore remembered that epic occasion. Today has been the most sensational day of my life. The way the Scottish international team acted once they arrived at the hotel here, they would hardly speak to us," he wrote. To play and score against them was something of a dream come true. After the game we were carried off the field not to mention the £25 bonus which we have to get for winning.
The sporting path will only be closed if the situation gets worse. Napoli host Barcelona in a Champions League round of 16 match on Tuesday.

Inter Milan's Europa League match at home to Ludogorets Razgrad on Thursday will be behind closed doors, and the club confirmed on Tuesday that all fans who had bought tickets would get their money back.

That's how he became an extraordinary player. It is not just Gnabry's attacking prowess - he has scored nine goals for Bayern in 18 games this season - that has impressed Nouri. He is lightning quick, a clinical finisher, but he puts a lot of work now in his defence - that was something he was missing before," Nouri said. Now he's taking these deep runs back to his own box defending. He's capable of doing this work while on the other hand making deep runs for the offence.
Brazil's fifth World Cup final win was not simply about Ronaldo's two second-half goals amid Yokohama's space-age architecture - it was a story of redemption. Ronaldo was one of the great players of his generation but the striker's career had been blighted by serious injury and the mystery surrounding his absence from the final at France 98. He was off, then on the teamsheet for that final, which ended in a 3-0 victory for France, with talk of a seizure then injury as conspiracy theories ran rampant in Paris.
Lyon are better than their league position would suggest. That's a widely-known fact that can be backed up by the expected points table for Ligue 1. However, things haven't been going their way this season and we don't expect that to change in Paris. There have great encounters between these teams in recent. Yet Lyon are depleted while PSG remains at full-strength. This should be a relatively routine victory over a side that can show little more than spirit. Back PSG to win and both teams to score.

One of the key aspects in announcing your club's new manager on social media is the photo. Perhaps they're holding up a club shirt in a boardroom, or raising aloft a club scarf in the stands? Or maybe it's the ever-so-slightly less creative pen-on-paper, smile-down-the-camera shot. Yet when a global pandemic means the new gaffer has yet to arrive in the country, a stock image will have to do. But what's really, REALLY, important, is that you get a photo of the right person.
Two teams are from the mid of the league table, and have won almost same amount of points in the begin of the season. At the moment, rivals are playing with huge amount of goals scored on their games, were often results are with five, six or even more in the final outcome of the match.
Our former goalkeeper had been suffering from long-term illness. All at Chelsea wish to send our heartfelt and deepest condolences to Peter's family and friends. Bonetti kept over 200 clean sheets for the club over two decades and he also made seven England appearances. He was a back-up goalkeeper to Gordon Banks in the squad that won the 1966 World Cup but he never played a match in the tournament.

Mid-table Levante, based in Valencia, will similarly stage their home games nearly 100 miles away, near Alicante). Playing within the confines of their training ground, Zidane's players are obviously familiar with their temporary matchday surroundings. But the prospect of visiting a humble 6,000-seater rather than the vast Bernabeu is a far less daunting proposition for opponents and that lack of home-field advantage could be telling.
The former England defender has been immense recently while Palace have somehow kept three clean sheets on the bounce. What I most admire about Cahill is his ability not to dive in and work the forward. He stays low and on his feet and is remarkably patient. Such experience no doubt comes with age but is an attribute that is serving him and Crystal Palace well. Clearly still a top-class defender. Did you know? Cahill has featured in more clean sheets than any other Crystal Palace centre-back in the Premier League in 2019-20 (six).
There's no update, no idea when he'll be back. Christian has had a big phase out and is desperate to get back. When (they can return) I'm not giving an answer. I can't see the answer. I'm hoping they might be fit over the next week or two, I just can't say it with clarity. We will have to be at our best.
He is not on the training ground saying 'this is what I need you to do'. He is the kind of man who in the big moments hopes you have enough instructions to think for your own self without having to refer to him or anything else. It is about growing your own understanding and being a leader who can take the game by the scruff of the neck. If I am trying to win a league, I am not going for Ancelotti.
The Gregg family would like to thank the medical staff at Causeway Hospital for their wonderful dedication to Harry over his last few weeks. Gregg won 25 caps for Northern Ireland between 1954 and 1963. He played in the 1958 World Cup and was voted goalkeeper of the tournament. Reporting by Hardik Vyas in Bengaluru.
Whilst they face off against La Liga's meanest defence here, Atleti have conceded in six of their last eight league matches, so there's a stack of value in this wager. The hosts are expected to prevail though, and we're predicting a 2-1 scoreline based on Levante's average concession of two goals per game on the road this term.
I expect the home team to win this match. Brest have the equal number of points though Strasbourg are the better team here. Both teams have managed 18 points this season. Both teams are in the middle of the table. Brest have lost only one home match this season. They have won 3 and drawn 4 as well. Strasbourg has been awful in the away matches. They have lost 5 away matches in this season. This is a balanced match. Any team can win it so going for 1x2 market is risky. I expect them to score more than 2 goals here in this match.
The hosts’ poor form is largely down to their inability to find the back of the net and they come into this match having failed to score in three of their last four matches. When you factor in that they have conceded 33 times this season, a record which is the fourth worst in the division, then it is easy to see why their issues are so severe.
Premier League and English Football League clubs are set to discuss a collective wage deferral agreement at a meeting with the Professional Footballers' Association on Wednesday. The proposal is one option to help clubs facing financial struggles during the coronavirus crisis. It is also understood the PFA will ask clubs if wage deferrals are justified. Professional football in England has been suspended until 30 April at the earliest because of the pandemic.

Macclesfield is undefeated for last 9 games at home and it is hard to believe to me they will today break that streak with a defeat from Oldham athletic cause Oldham is not in good shape at all,especially defensively,they are rarely keeping clean sheet and also they conceded at least 2 goals on last 3 games and they of course lost all of that games so I think they are not going to save their net intact for sure and that means they are not going for sure so I can easily recommend this bet to anyone who reads this
Meanwhile, after a strong 6th placed finish last season, hopes were high in Misr Lel Makasa ranks coming into the new campaign but the side simply haven't hit the same heights as of yet. Indeed, managed by ex-Tottenham forward Mido, the visitors have struggled and have just 8 points to their name after 9 matches, meaning a defeat on Tuesday could see them slip into the drop zone.
Ujpest and Debrecen will face each other in the upcoming match in the OTP Bank Liga. Ujpest this season have the following results: 9W, 5D and 13L. Meanwhile Debrecen have 9W, 4D and 14L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
A 6,000-mile trip and second-division shocks Les Herbiers are congratulated by Paris St-Germain after the 2018 Coupe de France finalThe island of Reunion is better known for its white beaches and golden sunshine than its football.

The entrance to a building owned by the 38-year-old Ibrahimovic was vandalised, police said on Thursday, and Swedish media showed pictures of a gate sprayed with the word "Judas". Media reported on Wednesday that Ibrahimovic had acquired a stake in Hammarby, prompting angry reaction from fans in Malmo, where he was born and started his professional career.
That said, we shouldn't rely too rigidly on results. When the pair met in the reverse fixture, Atalanta lost by only a single goal, while their performance wasn't a poor one. In fact, as they created the better chances, they were unfortunate not just to get beat but not to come out on top.
Leandro Trossard made an impact after coming on in the second half, flashing two shots wide with United goalkeeper De Gea rooted to the spot, and the United goalkeeper had to react sharply to keep out Connolly's curling strike and Neal Maupay's drive. Brighton face a huge game against bottom-of-the-table Norwich on Saturday, knowing victory will give them some breathing space before hosting champions Liverpool and second-placed Manchester City in their following fixtures.
