Saudi Arabia U23 produced the biggest surprise so far in this competition as they played against what I rated before that game the main candidate for winning the title Japan U23 and they went on to win the game with 2-1 after nil nil at half-time, but they really looked dangerous up-front, still their defense I would not rate it the best but Japan played too many passes and too few shots to take anything from that game.
I'll be honest, I didn't know too much about him before he joined. I knew about his record in the Premier League but I questioned if he was the right man and if he would get into the team, but so far he is doing well and proving me wrong. Fernandes has thrived as a playmaker in the middle of the park, pulling strings in United's attack and bagging three goals and two assists in all competitions since his debut last month.

It's the same problems that the club experienced in the summer with the Harry Maguire transfer from Leicester. Every single football club in the world know that United are desperate to sign their targets as they need to go all out in their battle for a top-four finish. Sporting know that the Red Devils will pay up, so they can demand £55 million up front.
Ziyech rejected a move to Sevilla last summer, saying at the time that he would only leave Ajax for the right club. The reports come from Dutch outlets De Telegraaf, VI and AD whilst The Athletic’s David Ornstein has also confirmed the move. Ornstein said that personal terms are likely to be agreed soon and as things stand Chelsea are the only club in talks with Ajax.

March 31 (Reuters) - The global players' union FIFPRO has said the completion of the current season must be the priority when football is finally able to resume following the coronavirus outbreak. The sport is at a standstill around the world, with domestic leagues halted and the Euro 2020 and Copa America tournaments pushed back until next year, and it is not clear when the game will be able to resume.
Valentino Lazaro of Newcastle United celebrates with team mates Joelinton and Allan Saint-Maximin after scoring his sides third goal during the FA Cup Fifth Round match between West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United at The Hawthorns on March 03, 2020 iGetty Images The Paraguay international grabbed his second on the stroke of halftime before combining again with Saint-Maximin for the third, setting up Valentino Lazaro for his first goal since he arrived on loan from Inter Milan in January.
Vidal wouldn't offer a long-term fix to these issues, as he is already 32 years old, but he still looks like a class player who would certainly improve the United squad. The Chilean thrived in a midfield at Juventus alongside Paul Pogba and he is definitely a better option than Fred and Andreas Pereira, but maybe United should look elsewhere if they want to find a long-term option.
The Australia international said last week he would donate A$500 for every save made by a goalkeeper during the latest round of matches. A total of 56 saves were made across 10 games, with Ryan pulling off five in Brighton's 1-0 defeat by Everton. Twenty-eight people have been killed and thousands made homeless in recent months as huge fires scorched through 11.
That moment sent one red and white half of Wembley into ecstasy and the other into despair. The finest of fine margins ultimately deciding an unforgettable play-off final. Gillingham 2-2 Manchester City (City won 3-1 on penalties)Hard to believe as it may be now, 21 years ago Manchester City were a third-tier club. Two relegations in three seasons had left City playing in what was then called Division Two.
Maybe with another contract to stay longer. He also told the paper that Bale and Real president Florentino Perez have a good understanding despite the recent ups and downs at the club. I think he has a fantastic relationship with Bale," he explained. He has been fantastic for Real Madrid, why do people talk like he hasn't been? You talk like he hasn't achieved.
Stoke City have won four of their last five home league games. Middlesbrough have only won three away league fixtures this season. Stoke City have 20 points from their last nine home league games. Both of these clubs desperately need to win this game. Stoke City are 18th in the Championship and host Middlesbrough who are 21st but only two points behind their opponents.

Eurosport Barca have won eight of the last 11 La Liga titles and led the standings when soccer in Spain was indefinitely postponed last month. Spain has suffered one of the worst outbreaks in the world, with 15,238 deaths and more than 150,000 cases. Barcelona players, including club captain Lionel Messi, have taken an additional pay cut to guarantee non-playing staff will receive full salaries while soccer is paused.
RATING: B - - - - - BOURNEMOUTH Eddie Howe is a good (maybe even great) coach, but he's terrible at transfer windows. When you think during his tenure Jordon Ibe and Dominic Solanke have joined the club while Tyrone Mings and Lys Mousset have departed, nothing there suggests business-savvy. Bournemouth did not sign anyone in January despite looking in perilous danger of relegation and Asmir Begovic probably feels he's been given a lucky escape.
TALKING POINT Leeds on the way back? Much has been made of Bielsa’s madcap methods, but the results continue to bear fruit in some style, even if they came up just short against a strong Arsenal side. Leeds seem set to return to the Premier League, and on this evidence, playing at this intensity and with incredible attacking intent, a return to the top flight could well be a long one.
Fiorentina vs Spal is this match for the Serie A in Italy where I expect an easy win for the hosts and will be able to win by 2 or more goals for me. The hosts aren't doing well and they have 17 points after 17 matches but are better team than guests. Opponent are coming from a bad defeat at home against Verona and are a team with only 12 points. They did 4 defeats in the last 5 matches and so away I see them bad and for me they are going to lose this match and could lose easily.
The Shanahans are building bridges and instilling a sense of community after finding a club in a poor state on and off the pitch - and players' correct diets ignored. They were sometimes fed chicken nuggets, chips and beans as a pre-match meal," Carol, who was brought up in the shadows of West Brom's The Hawthorns ground, recalls. Port Vale co-owners Carol and Kevin Shanahan have brought a feel-good factor back to Port ValeThere is a strong emphasis on staff wellbeing.

We are also backing a 1-0 victory for Forest here, with 57% of their home games finishing with fewer than two goals scored. The hosts have a solid defensive record overall this season, conceding just 13 times in 17 matches. They have relied on that in recent outings, winning 1-0 in three of their last four home clashes. Following that form, we are going with a 1-0 home win as our correct score tip here.
Recent games between Forest and Leeds have been close. Three of the last four matches they have played have finished in draws. Of late, neither team has been good at killing off games. Leeds have failed to score more than one goal in five of their last six matches; a record that is identical to that of Forest. A failure to score in general suggests this could be an entertaining close encounter. It's hard to separate the teams. There will be twists and turns in a game that we expect to end all square. Back a draw.
This is Moreno's first venture into club management after a series of roles as an assistant to Luis Enrique at AS Roma, Celta Vigo, Barcelona, and the Spain national team. Jardim led Monaco to the Ligue 1 title and a remarkable run to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2017 but was relieved of his duties in October 2018 following a disastrous start to the season.
Against Watford his side were awful and were booed off the pitch at full-time. Since beating Manchester United in early November, when Bournemouth were seventh, they have picked up four points from 11 games -- the worst haul over that period - and have dropped to 19th. Unless they stop the rot soon their hopes of a sixth successive top-flight season will vanish.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added: “We have been tracking Bruno for many months and everyone here has been tremendously impressed with all his attributes and what he will bring to this team. Most importantly he is a terrific human being with a great personality and his leadership qualities are clear for all to see.
I base my bet here on the fact that the guests are playing games with 3 goals or more scored lately in the league best game recently was a 4-4 draw at home with middle of the league table club Hapoel Petah Tikva where they had a 3 goals lead late in the game received a red card and ended up conceding 3 quick goals to draw just 4-4 in the end. Also a 2-1 win with modest Hapoel Afula recently at home, or 4-1 loss at Beitar Tel Aviv as their defense simply can not be trusted.
I always have the right intensity. I train 10 or 15 times better than when I was young," he said. I expected us to be higher up the table, but in the end, we will be safe. Obviously, we're not Juventus but there's a lot of quality in this squad. EVEN BETTER THE SECOND TIME, SAYS LULIC Lazio became the first team to beat Juventus this season when they won 3-1 in Serie A two weeks ago and they repeated the trick by winning Sunday's Supercup final in Saudi Arabia by the same score.
Fernandes will wear the number 18 shirt - recently vacated by club captain Ashley Young who left for Inter Milan - and most famously worn by United great Paul Scholes. He's a similar type of player (to Scholes) in skills. He could do absolutely everything as well, Scholesy, so no pressure!" Solskjaer joked.
Pep Guardiola didn't emerge from the City dressing room for 45 minutes after their 2-0 defeat to Spurs. As sincerely as he tried to sound when he said he couldn't fault in his players, we have our doubts. The Catalan mastermind would have upped the intensity in training this week to correct the problem. We expect a rampant City to destroy West Ham. Back City to win with a -3 handicap.
Just a big, broad smile. He was so unassuming and quiet. Didn't speak much English, but a lovely, really nice guy," added Burchill. Moravcik's two goals inspired a 5-1 victory. From that moment everyone realised Celtic had a player on their hands. With eight minutes left, he would make way for Burchill to make his own mark, scoring the fifth from a Henrik Larsson assist. I had just had my debut a couple of weeks previously," he recalls.
The sense that they could blow their chances of promotion yet again is inescapable. In December they were top of the table and enjoyed an 11-point lead over third-placed Fulham. But a miserable run of two wins from 11 league games means Fulham will leapfrog them into the coveted second place, which offers automatic promotion, if they beat Millwall on Wednesday.
Now I'm at home in self-quarantine. Mentally, I'm very well and my symptoms have almost all gone," he added in a video on Weibo. Read the full story 14:50 - McManus urges World Championships to stay at the Crucible In an exclusive interview with Eurosport, Alan McManus says he fears for the future of the World Championships if the sport's organisers opt to move it away from the Crucible for a year due to the Coronavirus.
The newly-promoted side have a strong record here to defend, with a six-game unbeaten run at SPAL setting them for more joy this week. The visitors have scored eight times in those six visits, while we think they can add another victory in this visit given SPAL’s awful record of late.
Unlike their opponents, their December fixture list is looking rather frightening. They will face Leicester (twice), Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal over the next three weeks, so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that they could find themselves in the drop zone come Christmas.
Athletic Club have been very strong at home this season with only Getafe and Valencia winning at them. In the cup Athletic Club had a excellent win over Barcelona in the previous round and have lost only 1 of the last 9 games in the cup.
Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk also acknowledged that his side could have delivered more, saying: "We want to analyse the game and be much better, but three points is massive, especially here. We play Spurs who are a good side. They were in the Champions League final and that must still hurt for them and they will want to bounce back.
Newport may have the second best defensive record in League Two but they have conceded in each of their last four and a total of five times in their last two. While Oldham are not the most prolific, they average 1.06 goals per game, however, given that they concede an average of two goals per game away from home, a 2-1 home win seems likely.

Remember: Messi has already won, apparently. Big Virg? Of course, it's not just Messi in the hunt for the Ballon d'Or. Liverpool supremo Virgil van Dijk is also hoping to scoop football's most coveted individual prize - and his team-mate James Milner is backing him. Happy Ballon d'or Day! What a time to be alive.
Olympiakos can achieve their goal at the end of this meeting. Olympiacos FC have scored at least one goal for 5 consecutive matches. FK Red Star Belgrade have a winning streak of 3 matches and they will confident to beat Olympiakos again. We are predicting a tight game though. Our odds are for a draw on this one.
Nearly a perfect day. I don't want to blame or whatever the groups I had before but this is a special group. Without that we have no chance to fulfil the Liverpool dreams. You need a strong character and this team has a strong character. Klopp was quick to praise his side after yet another Premier League victoryGetty Images Klopp had made seven changes to the starting line-up and rested the likes of Sadio Mane and Trent Alexander-Arnold with one eye on Tuesday's trip to Red Bull Salzburg.
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.
And you would be right. According to a statement from the Newcastle United Supporters Trust, they contacted the club last week to discuss season ticket payments, and received no response. Then they went public, and were told that the club “has no intention of freezing or delaying payments, both for those that pay annually and monthly.
Substitute Schlupp delivered the winner in the 76th minute to punish a lacklustre Bournemouth side who played with a one-man advantage from the 19th minute when Palace defender Mamadou Sakho was red-carded. The only talking point was Sakho's out-of-control attempted clearance that left Bournemouth's Adam Smith in a heap near the touchline.
