The group had a private plane, which Rodgers said was crucial to getting out that morning. Reporting from Reuters 11:15 - Emotional Klopp pays tribute to healthcare staff Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he was moved to tears after seeing a video of hospital staff singing You’ll Never Walk Alone as they battle the coronavirus pandemic.
We therefore think they should be given time, perhaps three years, to adapt to the new situation. They would not be allowed in that time to enter into new sponsorship contracts with gambling companies, but any existing contracts could continue until they terminate, and clubs would have time to seek alternative sources of sponsorship. The English Football League (EFL) says the gambling sector contributes £40m a season to the league and its clubs and with the financial problems of the coronavirus pandemic, this "significant" contribution is "as important now as it has ever been".
Barca, meanwhile, need to fill holes all over the pitch, with Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Ousmane Dembele and Luis Suarez all injured and Gerard Pique facing a battle to be fit.

We) will instead consider possible alternate activity options for the Socceroos in the respective windows over the coming days and weeks. Australia's fourth qualifier over the two international windows was an away match against Nepal on March 31.

Luton Town will host Cardiff City for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors have better team than their opponent. However, Cardiff is very average team in this season. I believe, they are not convincing team. They have only 1 victory in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Luton who's is worst team in this league. Hosts have less potential. They have a very vulnerable defense. Nevertheless, the hosts are better at home. I expect, they will try to provide a strong resistance. Solution want at all costs to stay in League. The hosts have a great motivation to win.
Registering easily their best result of the campaign so far, Celestes cut the gap to safety to just two points following Mallorca's 2-1 defeat at Levante, and they can move out of the relegation zone this Friday with another win.

Firstly, contracts tend to run to this point. Players have been able to sign pre-contract terms with clubs in other countries since 1 January. Even if "normal" transfers are done before then, most do not become active until 1 July. Any extension to the season beyond the end of June would require a change to the rules. World players' union FIFPro has spoken to Fifa about the practicalities of this, with a blanket extension of a couple of months being suggested.
Gallingly, Eddie Howe's men were beaten to nil in each of their last three top-flight matches by teams they would consider their peers.

Fundamentally, it makes no sense.

What can we expect this time? Well, at the very least it’s interesting that City have been experimenting with a different formation recently, a three-at-the-back system which seems ostensibly designed to stop a counter-attack, which is how United won that game a few weeks ago.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is, in the general collective consciousness, not a tactical genius, but he does occasionally pull these things out of the bag.
I've seen all the greats from the 1990s onwards many times, but he was the first player I would stop everything to watch. He had a balletic grace that belied his size, and did things on the ball that you only otherwise saw on games consoles. The documentary film "Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait" is well worth watching if you can find it. It should be in the Arts section rather than Sport.
