For the vast majority, a loss of income for two or three months is as threatening as for any other worker. The consequences for our industry will potentially turn ugly very quickly, so any co-ordinated action is very, very important. Baer-Hoffmann said that football had continued to grow during the 2008 financial crisis but the omens were not so favourable this time.
Belgian league set to be finished early Club BrugesGetty Images In a possible glimpse into our own future, yesterday the Belgian top flight put forward a proposal which would see the current league season concluded, with existing league positions confirmed. The decision would mean Club Brugge are crowned champions – pretty uncontroversial given they currently occupy a 15-point lead – but still needs to be ratified at a committee meeting on April 15.

On 22 November, he came on at Old Trafford as United Under-23s beat Sunderland 3-0.
The move follows consultation with the Chinese Football Association (CFA) and means that home games of the four Chinese clubs on the first three match days will be rescheduled and played away by swapping the order with their opponents. The decision, which was also made in conjunction with the competing clubs from the respective groups, is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety and well-being of all participating players and teams," the AFC said in a statement.
Nomme Kalju is going to face Paint. The hosts of this match are in third place in the league standings. Kalju lost only one match in the last 4 and it was against Flora 1;2. Paid lost 1:3 against Flora and 1:4 against Levadia and I don't believe that they will be able to beat Kalju. The hosts are much better in this season and I think that they will be able to win this match even 1:0 but they should pick 3 points. Kalju plays well even that they lost two matches they didn't play bad. My bet is Kalju to win
Top players already have at least six must-play events each season -- the Masters, PGA Championship, U. S. Open, British Open, Players Championship and either the Ryder or Presidents Cup. It is difficult to see how they could add 18 PGL tournaments and still find time to play even a limited schedule on the PGA Tour or European Tour.
The problem is that there are plenty of examples where managers and clubs appear to have taken the initiative and done the right thing, Leeds United as an example. So ideally you want other high-profile figures to take note and follow suit, but it’s trickier because there’s no obvious body who should take the lead on this.
Some clubs are using a "loophole" in a regulation aimed at increasing the number of black managers in football, says Troy Townsend from anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out. The English Football League (EFL) has a policy - informally known as the 'Rooney Rule' - that clubs must interview at least one black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) candidate for a managerial vacancy. But that is not necessary if they do not have a shortlisting process and interview only one candidate.
Grecia will host Perez Zeledon for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this season. Both teams have a poor results in the last matches. Yeah, Grecia have advantage at home stadium. Of course, the hosts want to win. However, they are not convincing team. I think, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Perez Zeledon have big fluctuations in this season. Also, the visitors have a poor results in recent times. True, they played against more strong rivals. In last game Perez Zeledon played in a 1-1 draw with strong Saprissa. I think, the visitors will try to pick up the victory.
Willem and Heracles will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eredivisie. Willem this season have the following results: 11W, 4D and 5L. Meanwhile Heracles have 7W, 5D and 8L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Manchester United: De Gea 8, Lindelof 6, Maguire 7, Shaw 6, Wan-Bissaka 6, Fred 8, Matic 7, Williams 7, Lingard 5, Greenwood 5, Martial 5… Subs: James 5, Pereira 6, Mata 6. KEY MOMENTS 7’ FINE SAVE FROM DE GEA! Gundogan clipped a lovely angled pass over the top for Aguero, who pulled away from Shaw and stooped to head back across goal from eight yards.
Wigan's recent run of form is a massive cause for concern coming into Saturday's game and the hosts simply cannot buy a win at the moment. All in all, they've not won any of their last 9 fixtures and having fell to defeat in 6 of said matches, confidence can't be high coming into this fixture
It was one-way traffic after the break, with Hagi firing just wide, Aribo hooking over from close range and Marciano blocking a Morelos effort. Corner after corner followed, with Hibs unable to stem the flow of attacks, only to hold out with a series of last-ditch challenges. But Hagi swept the growing worries of the home fans away when Connor Goldson helped an Arfield header on in the box and from a tight angle he arrowed a terrific finish into the bottom corner.
We have been looking to strengthen the squad in different positions," said Solskjaer. But in midfield, at the start of the season we had four fit players for two positions and we didn't find the right one for the value. Of course, [the injuries] are a big blow. You could probably handle it with three players rotating. If you've got two fit it is a hard task for them. We will just have to ask them to keep going if they can.
Since Rodgers replaced Claude Puel in February, no other team outside of Liverpool and City have amassed as many points. FULL STORY 13:30 - Dyche hopeful on Taylor Burnley's injury problems mounted on Monday as defender Charlie Taylor could be ruled out of the Premier League match against champions Manchester City on Tuesday with a hamstring strain, although manager Sean Dyche is hopeful it is not too serious.
Not just football - meeting new family members, having a normal Christmas. It was all so unknown. The emotional toll on Taylor and those close to him was huge. I put on a brave face for my mum but she could see through it. She knew when I was down and my girlfriend, Lydia, was with me a lot of the time on the nights when I was struggling.
Michel Der Zakarian's Montpellier side have been putting together a great run of form recently with them now unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions with three wins along the way. They've scored 14 goals and conceded eight in this time making it a great viewing for the neutral but despite the leaky defence, fans are ecstatic that their team currently sit 6th. They have been brilliant to watch recently with goals coming from all corners of the pitch but primarily from their front three of Andy Delort, Gu00e4etan Laborde and Florent Mollet. The trio have been on fire recently and have had a direct hand in nine of Montpellier's last 14 goals and will be looking to keep that up against the champions.
Instead it was David McGoldrick who almost made it 2-0 early in the second half, snapping up another poor header and rounding the goalkeeper before shooting into the side netting with the goal at his mercy. Brighton's attacking fortunes improved slightly in the second half as the rain poured down, with teenage striker Connolly proving a handful with his quick feet and direct style, but they could not force an equaliser.
How to Watch on TV, Live Stream, Kick Off Time & Team Oct 12, 2020 — Previewing Germany's Nations League game against Switzerland, where the Chelsea duo of Kai Havertz and Timo Wenrer are due a start.
This is going to be one very tough match for sure. I expect this to be one of those matches where one goal can decide everything. Both of the teams have done well at the regular part and now they brought their good performances and here. Artsakh Noah are currently sitting at 5th position with 36 points while Lori ar at the 4th position with same amount of points while the 2nd placed Shirak have only 3 more points and 3rd placed team of Alashkert only 1 more so there is no doubt that this match could be crucial when it comes to which of this two teams will have better chances for that 3 spot. Under all of this circumstances I don't think that we are going to see very interesting match. Both teams are playing mostly draws lately, as same as and their last match that finished 2-2.
Born and raised in Liverpool, Alexander-Arnold he says he wants to be a one-club man. I’ve always wanted to be a club legend. Winning titles, playing as many matches as possible, winning matches, becoming captain," the right-back told Swedish newspaper Sportbladet. Of course, I can’t become a legend if I leave Liverpool to play elsewhere.
They have now gone back to greatness again. Make no mistake, though, they still had some brilliant individuals and to claw back that 3-1 defeat was incredible. What a night that was. Dempsey, the match-winner, was another symbol of not just the European journey, but Hodgson's astute management. Schwarzer said: "Clint was often on the receiving end of a selection decision that didn't go quite his way but it fired him up even more.
both teams are winless after first 4 rounds and I think it is time for at least one of them to win so I want to exclude draw as a final outcome of this game tomorrow and surely I think Seoul has better chances to win cause they are better team and the odd on them is this high only because they are playing on the road, but as an already listed 2 home games in which they scored 0 and conceded 6 goals so I think visitors win is pretty much realistic in this game so I surely recommend this bet
Blues made an even faster start to the second half at St Andrew's, netting within two minutes of the resumption. Dean got above Conor Townsend to meet Bellingham's left-wing corner and, although the pace of his header from 12 yards out should not have been enough to trouble Johnstone, his view was blinded by the mistimed jump in front of him by Ferguson. The way City were playing, their lead was certainly justified.
The Instagram post showed the Irishman wearing a balaclava, which has strong connotations with the Irish Republican Army (IRA). The image showed him with his children and featured a message that said he was teaching them a "history lesson". I never wanted to cause any offence but I now realise that I did so and for that I apologise unreservedly," McClean, 30, said in a statement.
Vitoria Guimaraes were held to a goalless draw away at Maritimo last time out while Santa Clara suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Rio Ave which saw the gap between Saturday’s pair increase to 5pts. Both teams have been involved in a number of low-scoring matches this season, especially in recent weeks, and five of the last six encounters between the two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals. Three of Guimaraes’ and three of Santa Clara’s last six matches in all competitions have seen under 2.5 goals scored, so you can see why we are expecting another tight and tense affair on Saturday.

Home form has been the key to the success of Isloch Minsk this season. Four wins out of five on home soil and not a single point on their travels. This is another good chance to get three more home points as they host bottom-of-the-table Belshina. Their opponents are in deep relegation trouble with two points from seven games and only five goals scored. 13 have been conceded by them and the tip here is for a home win with Isloch ahead at both half and full time.
Their last 15 matches have produced three wins, 10 losses and three clean sheets. They have in just three of their last 10 matches and have conceded two or more goals in seven of their last 15 matches. They have scored more than one goal in just one of their last 10 matches while they have failed to score in eight of their last 15 matches.
We saw that at Aston Villa to make something feel like a penalty where maybe it even isn't. As a player we can talk about VAR decisions and whether they're right or wrong. But if a player is going to dangle a leg and not move their feet then you obviously do leave yourself open to penalties, VAR or no VAR. Solskjaer, speaking before his side meet Chelsea at Wembley, said: "If you've got quick feet like Dan James, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood you'll get tackled outside and inside the box," said Solskjaer.

A very interesting match between Dinamo Minsk and Torpedo Zhodino in Belarus in the weekend. Both teams are in great form at the start of this season and are at the top of the table. However, I think Dinamo Minsk has a better team and therefore my proposal will be that the home team will win this game.
Yet, money - lots of it - has been spent in the transfer market. The truth is, much of it has been spent badly. James Hilton: I was surprised to see they let Ashley Young go; the exodus of the old guard leaves the team pretty limited. How many years will it take to rebuild? Is this simply down to Ole?Young's departure is in line with the decisions to let go Ander Herrera, Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez - albeit on loan - Matteo Darmian and others.

Paper Round’s view: Clubs need to drive through pay cuts because it is not going to be easy to furlough players without testing both their loyalty and their contracts. If the league does not start until after May then that means that some players may be out as free agents before any league is completed, and clubs may not be able to keep their existing squad together before the rest of the games are played.
Match of Italian Cup. Team Fiorentina will play at home with team Citadella. My bet will be on guests with AH +2. The hosts are favorites of our game. They are playing in Serie A. If we are looking at last their results, They lost last 2 matches. Their shape is bad now. The Guests are playing in Serie B. They did 2 wins and 3 draw games at last 5 matches played. It will be a hard match for both teams. And I expect to see a balance match between Fiorentina and Citadella. A draw will be the most really result here .
They were strong in the tackle and organised in defence. On the few occasions Manchester City did get through they found Henderson in inspired form. The goalkeeper made a superb stop to deny Raheem Sterling from close range in the first half before then guessing the right way to keep out Jesus' spot kick. That save prompted chants of "England's number one" from the home fans and this performance will have only increased his chances of being included in Gareth Southgate's squad for Euro 2020 this summer.
Sevilla have failed to win four of their last league fixtures. AS Roma have failed to win four of their last league fixtures. Roma have failed to win 23 of their 34 UEFA encounters with Spanish clubs. One of the glamour ties of the round of 16 in the Europa League sees Sevilla hosting AS Roma for the first leg of their tie.
Last time out, Ipswich rectified one of their issues by sticking away three goals. Unfortunately, another issue worsened, as they failed to defend with any sort of conviction, shipping five goals in the process. The Tractor Boys have now conceded eight in their last five, keeping just one clean sheet, while they've conceded eight in their last five on the road too.
This season, Kolding won 4, drew 3 and lost 3 home matches. Meanwhile, Sonderjyske won only 2, drew 4 and lost 6 away games. In the friendly match earlier in the season, Kolding had a 1-0 victory on the field of Sonderjyske. Therefore, it is not easy for the away team to win this match. In the past 3 matches of Kolding, Sonderjyske only won 1, drew 1 and lost 1. In friendly matches, Kolding won 6 and lost 2 matches this season. In contrast, Sonderjyske only won 2, drew 3 and lost 2 matches. Therefore, it is still advisable to trust the host in this match with a dramatic winning result.
Atalanta celebrate their third goal. Getty Images The Spaniards pulled one back, when Jose Palomino's sluggish pass went astray, and fell fortuitously into the path of substitute Denis Cheryshev, who finished with aplomb to make an instant impact and worry some sections of the Atalanta fanbase. But it was not to be.
Southend conceded a lot really a lot of goals in their home games this season and it comes as no surprise as they are already more than 12 points inside the relegation zone as they have rarely beaten anyone this season even in home games although they did score a couple of goals at home, for example their past two home games ended in two high scoring draws first an unexpected 2-2 draw with a strong Rotherham side and second a 2-2 draw with MK Dons as well, but they really have nothing left to lose and attack is doing it's job.
I also had a bet on Beitar Tel Aviv last round when they played away from home at very weak Hapoel Bnei Lod side and I remember the odds on the away win being quite decent, they had the lead 2-0 in the second half of the game when they conceded a goal but they won 2-1 in the end so the bet was won. While lately they also won 2-1 away at M. Nazareth and 3-2 at home with Hapoel Petach Tikva so they have problems in defense but attack and scoring record saved them each time as they won 9 out of 9 points in their last 3 games in the league.
Kamara then profited from Lumley's mistake to double his tally for the game and season, and it was nearly three for Fulham moments later as Knockaert hit the post in a rousing come-from-behind win for the Cottagers. Fulham manager Scott Parker on match-winner Kamara:"I'm really pleased for him. He has not been a problem since I stepped into the role. You have to manage him differently but he gives you everything and he topped off his performance with two really good finishes.
