After all, the Premier League is a multiplex, and there are few more box-office managers in the world than Bielsa: a method actor in football’s theatre of the absurd" Marcelo Bielsa is coming. Jonathan Liew wonders what will happen next, in the Guardian. RETRO CORNER On this day in 2001, Roy Essandoh scores the goal that will ultimately mean for the rest of his life he will be greeted by what we’ll call ‘a certain type of person’ saying “What…the Roy Essandoh?” COMING UP The Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaampions! Yessir, here we are, the pointy end of the tournament.
The incident came after the Scotland international was subjected to jeering as he was being substituted in the 80th minute of Celtic's 3-1 win at Rugby Park on Jan. The 29-year-old said his actions, which sparked a row between a home fan and some Celtic players on the bench, were "stupid" in hindsight.
Another friendly match between two Swedish clubs. Both of the teams compete in one of the weakest divisions of Swedish football. Oskarshamns AIK are on one level above than the guests Linneryd. They are rightfully so big favorites to win, however this is not competitive match so anything is possible. For that reason instead of betting on winner, I decided to try with total goals. I expect both teams to score, so I will try with over 2.5 goals. The odds are far from good but I think there is big chance for this bet to be accomplished. Good luck.
The championship of Belarus was not interrupted due to the pandemic. BATE is in the first place, despite the fact that they have already lost 2 of 9 matches. I think it's time for BATE to start with a series of victories as they did in previous seasons. Brest did not play well at home, they lost 2 matches to much worse teams than BATE. In the last 3 away games, BATE has scored 10 goals. I don't expect many goals in this match because the home team will certainly not play offensively. Against this team, Bate did not have a victory in the last 3 games, so they will have a lot of motivation today
Karlsruhe in the standings takes the penultimate line. The situation is not critical yet, because the team behind the same Bochum, which goes in the middle of the standings (12th place), is only four points behind. In the tournament plan, the match is of great importance for both opponents. After the break, the teams showed a good game in both attack and defense. Karlsruhe confidently defeated Darmstadt (2: 0) in his native arena, and Bochum confidently beat Heidenheim (3: 0) at home. Full-time fights in recent years rarely reveal the winner. Karlsruhe often played a draw in the current championship. I think today's match will end in a draw.

But thinking you’ve lost and giving up are two different things entirely. In the 90th minute, as the board went up to show three added minutes, Babbel played a loose pass back towards Linke. He was pressured by Solskjaer into conceding a throw-in on the left wing, at which point Neville sprinted across the field to take a long throw.

Influential midfielder Steven Davis is sidelined with a calf issue, while winger Jordan Jones is back in training after three months out with a knee injury but not ready for selection.

All things considered, backing the Over 2.5 goal line to be cleared looks by far the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we're more than happy to do. Tijuana's aforementioned statistics speak for themselves and with the Over 2.5 line having also been hit in 4 of Santos Laguna's last 5 games, we feel an enthralling 2-2 draw could well be on the cards on Saturday.

In an interview on the club's website, Soriano, addressed the ban for the first time. Well the most important thing I have to say today is that the allegations are not true. They are simply not true," he said. The Adjudicatory Chamber of UEFA's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) said City had broken the rules by "overstating its sponsorship revenue in its accounts and in the break-even information submitted to UEFA between 2012 and 2016" and added that the club "failed to cooperate in the investigation".
Fittingly, the final say belonged to Hagi, who had done more than most to haul his side out of their stupor. The Romanian's free-kick from 25 yards took a deflection off the wall and dropped just inside the post. Cue bedlam. Rangers still have work to do, especially without Morelos next week, but their prospects are now looking much healthier. Rangers extend unbeaten run - statisticsRangers are unbeaten in five games in European competition including qualifiers (W2 D3), and have lost just one of their last 15.
This game promises to be interesting. Favorite? In my opinion, definitely Municipal Perez Zeledon, why? First of all, they play good at their home and here in earlier matches with today's rival, they did well. After three defeats in a row and five games without win in a row, it is time to change formula and win a game. Limon is also in poor shape, so there is an opportunity for three points. Pérez Zeledón has one more point than their rival today, they are on a losing streak of games, accumulating several consecutive defeats. The same goes for the Limón. They played best when they surprised Herediano winning 1-0. But overall they are a similar team as zeledon.
He hasn't played in four months, but Scotland midfielder John McGinn has answered his country's call to star on the big stage. And while his ankle may still be fragile - the Aston Villa midfielder has been sidelined since fracturing it last December - there's nothing wrong with his nimble-fingered mastery of a control pad. That's why the all-action 25-year-old is joining forces with Scotland's top Fifa player, Marc Marley, in the eNations Stay and Play Cup.

Second-placed Inter Milan were held to a third successive 1-1 draw after Radja Nainggolan, a player they loaned to Cagliari for this season, scored a second-half equaliser for the Sardinian side in their Serie A match on Sunday. The fiercely competitive Belgian, who was told by Inter coach Antonio Conte that there was no place for him this season, stunned the San Siro with a 78th-minute goal to cancel out Lautaro Martinez's first-half opener for Inter.
We are in contact with the authorities and listening to that advice, while also representing club views in those discussions. He said "a really strong collective will to complete the season remains" but admitted that "curtailment" of the season was discussed for the first time at the meeting. Two weeks ago clubs were told neutral stadiums were the only way the season could be completed, because authorities were concerned about fans congregating outside home grounds and breaching social distancing rules.
He keeps it simple, has incredible energy and is really quick. He's young but he's had a good education and has an intelligent football brain. There have been suggestions Zidane may take advantage of Valverde's physical capabilities and selfless attitude by employing him in a man-marking role on Messi on Wednesday. However, that would detract from another of his assets, and one area where he looks superior to De Jong: his ability to create and score goals.

Such gifted feet meant Mount was kept from stepping between the ropes and raising his hands, but his close relationship with grandad Bill ensured he was instilled with a boxer's resilience and work ethic. Regular visits to Fratton Park to watch his beloved Portsmouth with dad began at the age of four, and the aspiring midfielder would pay particularly close attention to the technique and decision making of Gary O'Neil and Argentine playmaker Andres D'Alessandro - a signed shirt from the latter hangs in his house to this day.
Renzo Ulivieri, president of the Italian coaches' association (AIAC), said that Serie A's announcement was overbearing and that reductions were inadmissible for lower-ranked coaching staff who in some cases earn below the national average. On Monday, Serie A proposed cutting annual wages by one-third if the competition - which has been suspended since March 9 - was unable to resume this season and by one-sixth if it was able to restart.
I will jump straight on the home win odds here as the only reason why Alashkert are favorites here is the fact that they used to win title after title and played in the Europa League even at this start of the season as I watched them getting defeated by FCSB from Romania in early rounds. But Lori has some decent African players at their disposal, they are unbeaten in this group and really should have won more points as they drew 2-2 with Noah despite having the lead 1-0 and 2-1, they also drew last game with strong Shirak despite taking the lead 1-0 with a nice shot in the first half, they conceded late when no one believed they would lose the 3 points and only drew 1-1.
A grown man should not go on the floor for that push but he wanted the maximum amount of punishment to be given to Di Canio. Come on man. I was at West Ham with him and he would get away with murder. If any decisions went against him in training, he would just walk off. He would be speaking in Italian and his arms would be waving all over the place. He was so intent on winning even the five-a-side games.

The ball came to me and I only had one thing in mind - to shoot. Luckily enough it led to the match-winner and a great goal," said Jones. It's massive for me and the rest of the young boys. At times it's frustrating thinking you might get a chance but then having to sit on the bench and watch. We proved that we're learning every day and trying to push for a place in the team. I dream of a lot of things but this one was more than a dream.
