Belgium played Italy in a friendly in the run up to Euro 2016," says Smith, who sat down with Lukaku for a lengthy one-to-one interview in November last year. The Italians beat them 3-1 and Lukaku said the moment he knew he wanted to play for Conte was after the friendly. He felt the Italians beat the Belgians in that game in every single department. Lukaku knew from that moment on that he wanted to work with Conte.
It's something that has never been attempted or achieved before, and I just feel extremely proud as a Cornishman to be able to be involved in the whole experience," said Kernow's director of football Andrew Bragg. My son was playing football in Sweden and he had a team-mate who played for the Sapmi region in 2016. I did some research and thought 'surely Cornwall qualifies to be in this competition'.
When a player makes a few appearances in such a big club like Liverpool, he is suddenly catapulted into the public eye. He is a fantastic player, still young and still learning, but the energy and quality he has shown when he has stepped up into the first team has been really good, so it's exciting. Giggs says the March friendlies represent the last chance for players to impress before he selects his final squad ahead of the Euro 2020 opener against Switzerland in Baku on 13 June.
Forward Gabriel Martinelli and full-back Hector Bellerin have been nursing hamstring problems and will both be assessed before Monday's game at Emirates Stadium. Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup: What makes Leeds' Marcelo Bielsa 'the greatest coach in the world'? Leeds, who are top of the Championship, are without forward Eddie Nketiah, who was on loan from Arsenal but who has now been recalled.
Espanyol appeared doomed for further failure after Mata's goal just three minutes in for Getafe at RCDE Stadium last weekend, but Periquitos found a way back into the contest thanks to Wu Lei's strike on the brink of half time. Pablo Machin's side grew in confidence during the second half and were the better team for large parts of the final 45 minutes, but they failed to break through again meaning the spoils were shared at full time.
St Gallen and Xanax will face each other in the upcoming match in the Super League. St Gallen this season have the following results: 8W, 2D and 4L. Meanwhile Xamax have 2W, 6D and 6L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Caglar Soyuncu: There might be an argument that if Wolves forward Raul Jimenez had taken his chances, then Soyuncu would not have been in my team of the week. That may be true, but fortune favours the brave and Soyuncu threw himself at Jimenez in the final minutes to help Leicester earn a point. The Turkey international, along with Jonny Evans, defended superbly - and with 10 men in the end. Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo expressed exasperation with VAR and maintained that fans are getting increasingly frustrated with the technology, especially when a goal is disallowed and a player has not taken any clear advantage.

The Gunners then took the lead through Aubameyang's composed finish, but came unstuck deep into first-half stoppage time when they again failed to completely deal with a right-wing set piece. Richarlison eventually scrambled home to ensure Carlo Ancelotti's men went in at the break all square. Richarlison celebrates scoring for EvertonGetty Images However, the hosts were back in front within 33 seconds of the restart as Aubameyang headed in his 17th league goal of the campaign to pull level with Jamie Vardy as the top-flight's leading marksmen.
After beating Bournemouth and West Ham United, 13th-placed Newcastle visit Villa Park with an opportunity to record three consecutive top-flight victories for the first time since Nov. The difference in a couple of weeks with a couple of wins is remarkable," Bruce said. They're (the players) bouncing around the place and training has been as lively as it has been.
I've told all players that the season finishes when it finishes, and the new seasons starts when it starts," said Fernandes. They just need to follow the solidarity rules and clubs will be aware of insurance for players who keep playing. If the season starts on 1 August then the contracts will be in place from then. Marcelino added: "We're approaching that deadline (30 June) and players want to know when they're returning, what happens with the season, where they're playing next season - the answer is, there's no answer.
In the past 4 rounds at the Belarus reserve tournament, we witnessed Gorodeya's poor performance (R). Specifically, the players lost 3, and only got 1 draw. More significantly, in the series of 4 matches above, the defense of Gorodeya (R) had to receive 14 goals while the attack only had 1 goal.
If we are getting more people to games, those in charge are more inclined to want us to play at those stadiums. We were really proud to play at the Etihad. The numbers were incredible and hopefully we can continue to play in front of those bigger crowds in the future. It's been a stellar year for women's football in England, ignited by the performance of the Lionesses in the World Cup earlier this year where White finished as joint top scorer as they reached the semi-finals before crashing out to the USA.

Top-flight European clubs stand to lose more than £3. Covid-19 even if the major domestic leagues and competitions reach their conclusion. The figure, across this season and next, was outlined in a meeting of stakeholders within the game last week. It is estimated if the competitions failed to reach their conclusions, the figure would rise to more than £6. The German Bundesliga resumed on 16 May while the Premier League is aiming to restart on 12 June.
We are also backing these two sides to share the spoils, with only five points between them in the table. Parma have failed to win 13 of their last 14 away trips, with 71% of their points this season coming in home clashes. Meanwhile, the hosts may have picked up the majority of their points at home, but they've won just once in their last five at this ground. That has us going for a 2-2 draw as our correct score prediction.
Jurgen Klinsmann is in the hot seat for the capital club after being appointed as coach in late November. Results have improved since then and, heavy defeat to Bayern aside, they are unbeaten in five of their last six league matches. While performances haven't always been as convincing as results would suggest, Klinsmann will be happy that his club is five points clear of relegation.
Read the full story Chong's going nowhere Manchester United academy graduate Tahith Chong is reportedly staying at Old Trafford, despite the fact that his contract is set to expire this summer. The Telegraph report that United are "confident" they can hold on to the 20-year-old, who has attracted the attention of the likes of Inter Milan, Juventus and Barcelona.
Hurtling headlong into the Championship was not the direction they had in mind. After a great deal of negotiation, home capacity has been raised to 60,000, is due to go up to 62,500 and should eventually reach 66,000. This has not been done to host the likes of Reading and Wigan. David Moyes' last spell in charge of West Ham was on a short-term contractFairly or otherwise, Sullivan, his co-owner David Gold and Brady do not have great reputations among the Hammers support, who feel they are not maximising the club's potential.
On his return to the starting XI in the 2-0 FA Cup win over Liverpool, the 25-year-old’s first contribution came in the form of an impressive triple save – a glimpse of the potential that is sometimes overshadowed by casual mistakes. It’s clear that Lampard wants to strengthen throughout the pitch and with Neuer having been linked with a move to SW6 – what does this mean for Kepa? COULD NEUER UNLOCK KEPA’S POTENTIAL? “Should the move materialise then Neuer would bring a wealth of experience, having enjoyed success at the very highest level of both domestic and international football,” posits Few.
Stabaek is going to face Mjondalen for the first leg of the Norwegian season. The hosts played well in the previous season and it seems to be like another good year for this team. They played really well in the friendlies before the start of this season and in this clash they are also favorites. The visitors played badly and they have to prove that it was only a mistake. My bet for this match will be over 2.5 goals. Both teams score many goals in their matches and in the last head to head clashes we usually saw 3 goals or more
Domestically things aren't going to plan for the visitors either and they are under a large amount of pressure from supporters. Indeed, Galatasaray are 6th in the Turkish Super Lig table and find themselves some 7 points short of top spot and that along with the fact they've won just 1 of their last 5 matches as well as 1 of their last 7 on the road has confidence low prior to making this trip
They've only won the first leg in two of their previous 14 League Cup semi-finals (W2 D7 L5). Brendan Rodgers has progressed from his last 30 domestic cup ties with Liverpool, Celtic and Leicester - the last team to beat Rodgers was Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final in 2014-15, when he was Liverpool manager. Aston Villa have scored 16 goals in the League Cup this season, six more than any other team.
RETRO CORNER Funny things, brains. All it takes is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to say “youse” in a press conference, and the mind flashes back to Juan Sebastián Verón. No, the Argentine wasn’t the player for Manchester United that Alex Ferguson hoped he could be. But he still managed to do some beautiful things in a red shirt.
As a football club, we have a responsibility to deliver the right message. Safety is the highest priority. Closing the doors to a match is difficult for many reasons but in the end, in order to continue with the calendar and continue with normal activities, we have to take these decisions. Inter staff at the Ludogorets game say it was a weird experience because all the players' shouts could clearly be heard.
Brighton have had a good run at home in recent matches, and this is one factor they will want to carry to this game. They face a Sheffield side that has not done well lately, could be low on confidence and has really struggled away from home. Sheffield have three straight losses, have just two wins in eight away matches and have not score in four of the last five FA Cup away matches. Basing on Brighton’s form at home, and against Sheffield, we are backing the home side for a win here.
Emmen could only manage a draw away at the divisions’ bottom club RKC last time out, while PSV returned to winning ways at home against Heerenveen but sit eleven points behind the league leaders Ajax.

A meeting of the National League takes place on Monday, after the British government meets again to discuss banning mass gatherings. The prospect of a lengthy stop concerns club officials across the non-league pyramid. It could be terminal really. We rely on gate receipts. If the games are abandoned for the rest of the season many of the clubs at our level will go to the wall.
Unsurprisingly, PSG have been in fine scoring form at home this season. They've scored 24 goals in just nine matches at Parc des Princes, while they've made light work of keeping teams out too, conceding just three, keeping seven clean sheets. Their home record should fill the hosts with confidence, as should the fact that they recently got the better of St. Etienne away from home, winning by four goals to nil.
The coronavirus pandemic is such a thing, and putting the economy in a deep freeze is perhaps the best and only way to ride out an enforced and extensive lockdown. Lives in many ways have been paused through no fault of any individual, so companies and people should not be forced to bear the brunt. Under those circumstances, there is a logic to clubs taking the money that is offered to them.
This season has been up and down but I feel like we have turned a corner. Things looked grim for Southampton when they lost at home to West Ham United on Dec. But manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has turned the tide and the south coast club have become tighter at the back while still enjoying the goal threat Ings provides.
Schonnebeck will host TuRU 1880 Dusseldorf for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this season. Schonnebeck are currently on the 4th place with 32 points. In previous game Schonnebeck lost 1-0 against Meerbusch. Also, we have TuRU Dusseldorf who's is outsider in this match. Dusseldorf is not very good team away from home. However, the visitors are in better shape in recent times. Also, Dusseldorf are currently on the 7th place with 29 points. They have two consecutive victories. In previous game Dusseldorf is won 1-0 against Niederwenigern. Of course, the visitors have a very difficult task. Nevertheless, they will try to make a positive result.
The new best pick for this today play from Spain league between Osasuna and Atletico Madrid the best my pick for this match is the play a pick over from 2.00 goals where we can for this three goals look a new great secure win from new 9 points for this my score and can we look a new good match from boat teams in this match and a new great chance for this my pick I play at the match now. Osasuna is a good team and we can look see a best play from the team and a best respond at the best team from Atletico Madrid.
It’s looking like another low scoring affair though. The hosts have averaged just 0.83 goals per home game this term and conceded 1.33 per game at the other end, while Braga have scored 0.71 per game and conceded 1.0 per game away from home, making a 1-1 draw look the best option for a correct score prediction.
Olympiakos have lost just one home game this season. In their last three days of Champions League, Red Star Belgrade has conceded fifteen goals. Olympiakos managed to hold Tottenham in check on their home soil (2-2). Olympiakos host Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League, round 6/6. Unfortunately, Bayern Munich and Tottenham have already qualified from this group in the Champions League.
With that in mind, we're also going for a 1-2 correct score in favour of the visitors. They should find this fixture fairly comfortable over the course of the 90 minutes considering the gulf in quality between the sides, but this may not reflect in the full-time score. Barca have scored more than two goals in just one of their nine away matches in all competitions this season, so 1-2 stands out as the most likely outcome for Saturday lunchtime's action at Butarque.
Since losing 2-0 to Napoli on matchday one, Liverpool have won each of their last three Champions League games - the Reds have not won four consecutively since March 2009. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has scored in his last two Champions League appearances - the only Englishman to score in three in a row for the Reds is Steven Gerrard (five in a row in 2007-08). Manager Jurgen Klopp has lost three Champions League games against Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti, his joint-most against an opposing manager along with Arsene Wenger.
I didn't realise how big a challenge this was going to be, even down to putting tiles in the showers. Who are Inter Miami?Inter Miami - whose full name is Club Internacional de Futbol Miami - will hope to succeed where more than 30 Florida teams have failed, including Miami Fusion, who only lasted in MLS from 1998 to 2001. And they have already built a big fanbase before even playing a game. Fans eager for a Miami team to support turned up in numbers - with banners, flags and drums - to Inter's under-13 and under-14 games last season.
We are now the go-to team for people who want to beat a rubbish football team heavily at altitude,” Christian said. We are thin on the ground in terms of football talent but make up for it by being the life and soul of the party and we continue to get invited back because we get on with everyone. We are the laughing stock – their laughing stock – so everyone loves us. As it stands, despite the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Mountain Village Euros is due to take place on 28-30 August, two months later than originally planned.

Sixty-five years ago this month, modern-day European club competition was born. Its father was Gabriel Hanot, a former French international who became the football editor of the sports newspaper L'Equipe, a platform he used to promote his idea of a continental cup competition. So, in April 1955, representatives of 18 European clubs - inspired by the timeless sporting curiosity to know who is best - met in Paris to agree that a European Champions' Cup should be created.

Jurgen Klopp's side. It may just have been because Arsenal spent so much time without the ball as their 31. Premier League game since Opta started compiling those statistics in 2003-04. The work was done, however, urged on by Arteta on the sidelines, using at least three of his five languages to inspire his players, the orders audible in an empty stadium. The manner in which Arsenal dug in - in what some might regard as uncharacteristic fashion - must be repeated over time, but the sight of the likes of David Luiz and his fellow defenders hurling themselves in front of the ball in a mixture of defiance and desperation is what Arteta regards as the rule rather than the exception.

With the Canaries mixing some promising attacking play with plenty of calamitous defending, over 2.5 goals were registered and both teams scored in seven of Norwich's eight Premier League home games this term, and we expect that high-scoring pattern to continue unabated this weekend.
AB Agir is underdog in this game, and this team should fight to avoid relegation in the season. However, Vikingur should not have an easy job here, especially at the very start of the new season, when teams are not in their full strength.
