Oh, and then there’s the folly of the draw happening before the play-offs, meaning that the identity of four teams will remain unknown until March 31. WHAT ARE THE CURRENT GROUPS? Group A (hosts: Rome, Baku) Italy TBC TBC Finland/Wales Group B (hosts: Saint Petersburg, Copenhagen) Belgium Russia Denmark Finland/Wales Group C (hosts: Amsterdam, Bucharest) Ukraine Netherlands TBC Winner play-off path A or D Group D (hosts: London, Glasgow) England TBC TBC Winner play-off path C Group E (hosts: Bilbao, Dublin) Spain TBC TBC Winner play-off path B Group F (hosts: Munich, Budapest) Germany TBC TBC Winner play-off path A or D OK, WHO CAN ENGLAND GET? Lots of teams! A disastrous scenario could see them paired with France AND Portugal – with one-in-four odds of landing the World Cup winners and a one-in-five shot of getting Cristiano Ronaldo and co.
Now it's about life and death and trying to control the spread of the virus, so it's a good decision. Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman said: "It's a pity (that Euro 2020 has been postponed) but football is not the important thing in life right now. I had anticipated it would not happen. The European Championship originated in 1960 with a four-nation finals in which the Soviet Union beat Yugoslavia to lift the trophy.
James Phelps, who played Fred Weasley in the fantasy film blockbuster series, was spotted at the Cherries training ground this week where he posed for a picture https://www. B7q2cG8lON3 with 'Potterheads' Ryan Fraser and Nathan Ake. Howe, whose side collected their first win in seven league games against Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday, admitted he was not aware of Phelps's visit but joked that he could certainly use some supernatural powers at this crucial time of the campaign.
After Moses take on the job at West Ham United there have been some changes in their pattern of play, last season their FA cup adventure end in the 4th round. After a bad away game at Leicester West Ham United will be looking to put this home game into bag to boost their confidence, they have scored 17 goals in 11 games and conceded 20 from those games played. West Bromwich Albion have scored 20 goals from 14 away games played and have conceded only 11 times in those games played. For the last ten meetings West Ham United won 3 then 4 ended in a draw and West Bromwich Albion won 3 this is a close call.
Agadir had some mixed performance in their recent matches. They have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches. They sit on 12th spot after 3 matches this season and won 1, lost 1 and drew 1. They have scored 2 goals and conceded same number of goals.
Strevens has since been appointed Spitfires boss and wants a repeat of the heroics of 2015-16 when Eastleigh reached the third round before losing to Bolton, who were then in the Championship. Being at home is important if you are the lesser side," said Strevens before League Two Crewe's visit to the Silverlake Stadium. It evens the tie up. We want to test ourselves against Football League opposition.
This is a clash between two teams who featured in the play-offs last season and NorthEast United will feel more content with their start to the season having remained unbeaten in their opening four games under new coach Robert Jarni. Mumbai City need to bounce back from consecutive 4-2 defeats which will have rocked their confidence somewhat but they do have belief in their ability to pick up results away from home. Expect Mumbai to dig in and try to be hard to break down and in doing so they might be able to come away with a point from a tight encounter.
Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti complained recently that it was often difficult to know whether the VAR or the pitch referee was in charge of a match. IFAB said the meeting received "positive feedback" on the changes to the laws, including a handball rule, which were introduced in June -- even though, like VAR, this has been subject to much criticism.
Laporte gives City a chance of winning Champions League Aymeric Laporte helped Manchester City win a domesic treble last season and in January Guardiola described him as the "best left-sided central defender in the world". All six of City's Premier League defeats this season have come without the Frenchman in their teamAs well as his formation, Guardiola has some decisions to make on personnel - starting at the back.
Making the trip to The New Lawn is a Crewe side who have been one of the surprise packages of League Two this season. With a team largely made up of academy products, they were not exactly expected to be around the title picture. However, they are the top scorers in League Two with 32 goals scored and after scoring five at the weekend, they will be confident of earning the win. They also boast one of the best away records in the division despite seeing both teams score in 75% of their away matches.
It would be a calculated gamble, though, as if they are unsuccessful a full non-expedited hearing may not take place until after the Champions League cycle is underway," he said. Given CAS's normal timeframe for scheduling hearings, City's case might not be heard until early next year, although waiting times for hearings vary.
The Gazzetta dello Sport said on Monday that club president Aurelio De Laurentiis was set to fine his players one quarter of their monthly wages after they broke off a week-long training retreat this month, described by Italian media as a mutiny. The newspaper added that midfielder Allan, a lynchpin of the side over the past five seasons, would be fined half his salary while the players were also consulting their lawyers.
Watford's resurgence under Nigel Pearson and Aston Villa's recent victories has made the bottom of the table a hectic place. As Moyes aims to preserve West Ham's top-flight status for a second time, he will be disappointed with how his side ended a game they looked destined to win. Despite a fine debut from Tomas Soucek alongside Snodgrass and Michail Antonio in midfield, West Ham's defensive frailties in the final 15 minutes proved to be their downfall.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are now unbeaten in 10 league games -- their best run in the top flight for 40 years -- as they cruised to a 2-0 victory over West Ham United. Wolves jumped to fifth spot, six behind Chelsea. With Adam Lallana also given a start as Klopp rotated his squad at the start of a hectic month, Liverpool underlined their depth as they blew Everton away in the highest-scoring Mersey derby since 1933.

Barca have lifted eight of the last 11 La Liga crowns and go into Sunday's game at the Santiago Bernabeu with a two-point lead over Real, who are smarting from consecutive defeats by Levante and Manchester City. For Real Madrid this game is vital and much more important than it is for us. It is a key and decisive game for them, it's also important for us but perhaps not as important," Setien told a news conference on Saturday.
Clearly completing the season in a safe manner is going to require a significant effort by all concerned and, whilst not unprecedented, it will need clubs to play a significant number of matches over a relatively short period of time. Parry added that the EFL was in talks about broadcasting the remaining 108 games and play-offs either live on Sky Sports or via streaming services. Three rounds of coronavirus testing have been conducted to date across the 24 clubs in the second tier, with more than 1,000 tests carried out each time.
PSG are in amazing form and a bad result may be due. The protestations of Kylian Mbappe are an unwelcome distraction for a team with aspirations of a Champions League win. If one competition was to be sacrificed, it would be the Coupe de France. PSG have a squad strong enough to forego sacrifices. Dijon will try their hardest to cause an upset and the foundation of any triumph will be in defence. That's why we're advising that you bet on under 2.5 goals.
That changed dramatically when Alisson was sent off for handling a Leandro Trossard shot outside the box with a quarter of an hour remaining. There was further controversy when Lewis Dunk played to the whistle to clip the free kick into the net as replacement ‘keeper Adrian was still lining up his wall.
Al Sahel will host Al Shabab for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have better team than their opponent and I think they have a real chance to get all three points. Both teams are very average teams in this season. However, Al Shabab are in better shape. Also, we have Al Sahel who's is not very good team in recent times. I believe, the hosts are more vulnerable team in the last matches. In previous game Al Sahel lost 5-1 against Al Salmiya. In any case, the hosts have big problems in their defense and for me they could lose. My pick - Al Shabab to win.
Meanwhile, Cremonese have fallen to fourth-bottom in the second tier, with one of the worst away records in the division. They head here in poor form – with 11 points from their last 12 in the second tier. That’s left them with a difficult task as they prepare to take on the potential champions of Italy on Tuesday.
However, it is reported that an FA source is worried that stadium crowds would just congregate at pubs instead, which wouldn't limit the spread of the virus. This might mean pubs could be banned from showing the 3pm fixtures. Paper Round's view: It seems silly that this issue hasn't been addressed already.
They reached the FA Cup first round eight times and the second round twice. Liverpool players John Aldridge and Jimmy Case used to play for them. Legendary Hungarian Ferenc Puskas did so once, in a charity game. South Liverpool applied to join the Football League on 10 occasions. They were unsuccessful every time. A combination of financial problems and their club house being burnt down in the late 1980s sent the club into a tail spin and by 2006, they were in the first division of the Liverpool County Premier League.
So just how good can he be? 'A nightmare for defenders' - the view from inside Man Utd Solskjaer certainly knows a thing or two about what it takes to be a goalscorerSome eyebrows were raised when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sanctioned the departures of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku in the summer and, rather than bringing in a big-money replacement, he instead put his faith in Greenwood. But that decision now appears to be vindicated, with Greenwood having already scored more goals than Sanchez did during his time at Old Trafford.
It's difficult to understand how Espanyol can even dispute favouritism for this fixture based on their home record and the fact they have lost six of their last seven La Liga games overall, so we're backing Getafe to seal the points this Sunday with a straightforward win at RCDE Stadium.
We expect Wednesday to share the goals with Cardiff, who have seen both teams score in seven of their last nine matches on the road. The Bluebirds have seen both teams score in four of their last five matches overall, while the same has landed in eight of Wednesday’s last 10 matches. Given that form we are expecting goals, with both teams to score our pick for this clash.
KEY STATS David Silva has now assisted 21 of Sergio Agüero's Premier League goals - only Frank Lampard (24 for Didier Drogba) has set up a teammate more in the competition's history. Kevin De Bruyne (15) is one of three Premier League players to assist 10 goals in all competitions this season, plus Riyad Mahrez (11), Trent Alexander-Arnold (10).
There are various reasons for that, including the inability of some players to deal with the subconscious realisation that they could never top the high of Barcelona. How do you go again after something like that? Where do you go from the summit of Everest? Dwight Yorke knew where he wanted to go. He was only half joking when he asked Ferguson if he could take a year off to “get over” what he and United had achieved.
If a hearing is not expedited, it is likely to be the middle of next season before a full Cas hearing takes place. So if City can get the ban suspended pending the outcome of their appeal, it is easy to see how months - or even years - of legal wrangling could lie ahead, with the Swiss Federal Court the next potential port of call after Cas. Last year, South African athlete Caster Semenya did exactly that after Cas found in favour of governing body the IAAF (now World Athletics) in its legal battle with her over rules requiring her to take testosterone-suppressing medication.

Their most recent victory made it seven league wins on the bounce for Leicester, including their record-equalling 9-0 demolition of Southampton in October. Away from home they have failed to win three of their seven games, but it’s important to remember that these failures came against Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool. Leicester have won all four of their away days against teams outside the current top six.
The Masters and the Open are both set to be rejigged. The Open could take place in September while the Masters may be delayed until either October or November. Paper Round’s view: Such a move would make for a packed second half to the golfing season but these are two huge events, and spectators, competitors and broadcasters would surely rather squeeze in the tournaments if possible rather than sacrifice them completely.
Barcelona players will take a 70% pay cut during the coronavirus pandemic and make additional contributions to ensure non-sporting staff receive full wages. Captain Lionel Messi said the move was delayed as the players were "looking for a formula to help the club". Juventus players and manager Maurizio Sarri agreed to freeze their pay for four months at the weekend. Spain's national death toll now stands at 7,340, making it the worst-affected country in the world behind Italy.
I love going to see Wednesday, but now the whole enjoyment has been zapped out of it before I even enter the ground," he added. Are wages just too high? Spending on wages in 2017-18 jumped by 11% from the previous year - an £83m increase, according to Deloitte. Vysyble says more than half of clubs are spending more on wages than they make in income. Deloitte say this gap between wages and revenue is likely widen further to what they call an "unwelcome record high" when the 2018-19 accounts are published next year.
Mr Wing translated for him. He came on tour with us when he went to Asia that year. And now we wait to see who’s going to finally pin down that feature interview with Mr Wing. COMING UP Pretty thin pickings today, unless you particularly fancy trying to find a way to watch the early stages of the Copa del Rey.
But such has been Williams' contribution that it is reported England are interested in his services as he qualifies for them through his grandparents. A player is only committed to a country after playing for them in a senior competitive fixture. Neco has come through the [Welsh] system. That does not always happen but ideally you want that to happen," Giggs told BBC Sport Wales. I think you are always worried when different countries come in and different permutations come in.
He knew the squad needed strengthening to challenge properly. Video - 'Most challenging time at Tottenham' - Lloris01:11 So they turned to Mourinho, a man who always causes massive problems. We’ve seen it already at Spurs and we’re not even four months in. People can argue that he should be protected from criticism as he wasn’t there at the start of the season, but he knew what he was going into.

Injuries to Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son meant they played without a recognised striker, but it was again their defensive vulnerability which will concern Mourinho most. He has a tough task of lifting his team ahead of their FA Cup fifth round tie at home to Norwich on Wednesday night. MAN OF THE MATCH Diogo Jota (Wolves): The 23-year-old was at the heart of every Wolves attack.
For most 17-year-old footballers, signing for a big club in a new country could prove a daunting prospect. But for Jude Bellingham, the England youth midfielder who has joined Borussia Dortmund from Birmingham City, there is evidence the Stourbridge teenager will embrace the challenges thrown up by his move to Germany. Dortmund turned Jadon Sancho into a senior England international after his arrival from Manchester City in 2017, while winger Ademola Lookman secured a permanent move to RB Leipzig from Everton after scoring five times on loan at the Bundesliga club in 2018 as a 20-year-old.
