In the second half it was better. The win was necessary for us and very important. Fulham boss Scott Parker:"I think overall the performance in the first half was exceptional. We took the game to a very good side. I thought we were superb then. Over the course of the game we needed to be more clinical. We should have put one away in the first half. They were more efficient in the final third than us.
Juventus have dominated this fixture in the recent meetings, and they go to this game on the back of a win and a fine run. The only issue they will have going to this game is their defensive weakness; Juventus have managed just five clean sheets in their last 15 matches. However, they have scored in each of their last 19 matches, and scored two or more in six of their last 10. Sampdoria have scored in seven of their last 10 but haven’t scored more than one in the last three matches. Based on the two sides’ attacks and defemces, we will go with a 2-1 win for Juventus here.
Torpedo is this season really one of the most positive surprises in league and this team is playing very good football at the start of season. I was watched almost all their duels and they are played on good level. Even against first favorite for the title, BATE Borisov, as a guests, they are played very good, in defense firstly and won one point in that duel, 0-0. Ruh Brest is not so strong team and for me, they are not have big chances to make surprise in this duel. We will see what will happen but home team will win.
It wasn’t the body saying that, it was the mind. Something faded in me, in the whole team. The truth is that right then, at that moment, at 1-1, I knew we would lose. In the 58 seconds between the equaliser and the kick-off, the United players went through all kinds of emotions. Beckham “felt like crying”; Solskjaer was chuffed because he would get to play another 30 minutes in a European Cup final; a shattered Butt started running round to try to get the blood going in his legs.

Isloch Reserves have 9 points at the moment. They started the season with two defeats, from Neman Grodno and Smolevichi. However, Isloch Reserves have improved in the next period. They managed to obtain 3 wins, mostly thanks to their impressive attack that has scored 11 in the mentioned 3 games. They beat Slutsk, Brest and Slavia Mozyr. However, I think their series will come to their end. Vitebsk Reserves are also in good form. They are in mini series of two unbeaten games. In the last round Vitebsk won 2:1 against Brest Reserves. The players confidence is higher and this fact should not be underestimated. Vitebsk have combined five goals in the latest two matches and I think they will stay unbeaten here.
Augsburg and Hoffenheim will face each other in the upcoming match in the German Bundesliga. Augsburg this season have the following results: 9W, 8D and 14L. Meanwhile Hoffenheim have 12W, 7D and 12L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
So, it looks like it will get finished with games being played behind closed doors in a short period, but I don't see how you can make plans for that at present and we still might reach a point where the league needs to be called off, before it impinges on next season. The longer it goes on the harder it gets The only thing that has definitely been decided in the Premier League so far is that Liverpool have definitely qualified for next season's Champions League - they became mathematically sure of a top-four finish on 17 FebruaryMichael Brown: I am all for finishing this season, whenever that is.
In terms of his general play, Kean had nine touches of the ball - the fewest of any player until his replacement, Niasse, came on for the final two minutes and touched the ball four times. Kean won none of his five duels with Manchester United players, and lost the ball six times while making no tackles. Niasse, in contrast, won 50% of his duels and did not lose possession once while making two tackles - as many as centre-back Michael Keane.
Two promotion-chasers meet on Wednesday night, with West Brom hosting Bristol City. The league leaders have been made favourites for the clash, but the Robins’ impressive away record suggests it won’t be that straightforward.

The regional leagues were not without controversy or detractors, who found the regional format alien and matches often too unpredictable. There were also disputes between the Football League and clubs, most significantly the leading London sides, who split from the league for the 1941-42 season over a desire to arrange their own fixtures. Many fans were also put off by the inconsistent guest player system, designed to allow clubs to field a full side in the absence of their serving players but which often saw individuals turn out one week and head elsewhere the next.
Shandong Luneng will be taking on Tianjin Teda in this round of the China Super League this afternoon and I believe that we are going to have over 3.5 goals in this game because they are both good offensively and have shaky defenses. They both are not in a competition for top 3 and being safe for next season, they should be able to play very offensively here and just focus on offensive football. The hosts have managed to score an average of 2.2 goals in their last 5 games in the league and should be able to score at least 2 goals here
Dinamo Brest Reserves have started the new season with a high scoring games as they have lost the opening match against Smolevichi with the score 1-2. Later they have lost against Slutsk reserves with the score 1-5 and recorded a 2-0 win in the latest match against Slavia reserves.

The 43-year-old Macedonian-American set up a veteran-heavy Olympic qualifying roster in January, leveraging the talent pool's experience on the road to Tokyo 2020. He's done a fantastic job," said defender Kelley O'Hara, who has competed in three World Cups with the team. I think you can kind of see it in the way that we're playing.
His comments drew a blunt response from the mayor of Atalanta's home town Bergamo who said the team had earned their place with "sweat and imagination". Atalanta, who qualified by finishing third in Serie A last season, are playing in the Champions League for the first time and the progress of the provincial side to the last 16 has been one of the highlights of the competition.

Iceland, second league. 1st round match between Throttur Reykjavik and Leiknir Reykjavik. Leiknir are the favorites but I don't think they will win. However, the tradition is not on my side, and only one of the last 5 h2h match was like that.
So what happens now?The league tableThe clamour to claim the 15m euros (£12. Champions League group stage is a pretty penny that has - predictably - already seen things get ugly. No sooner had the Ligue 1 season been suspended in mid-March than Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas and his Marseille counterpart, Jacques-Henri Eyraud, launched into an unsightly public spat. Aulas claimed last season's final placings should be used to determine next season's European participants; Eyraud disagreed.
This was the biggest margin of victory in a meeting between teams starting the day in the top two positions since then leaders Manchester City won 6-1 at Manchester United in October 2011 - and the margin here could have been even wider. Liverpool now have the joint-highest lead any team has had on Boxing Day in Premier League history, on a par with Manchester United's advantage in 1993-94, when they went on to become champions.

The likes of January signing Bruno Fernandes, who has started taking most of United's set pieces, and Anthony Martial, who has 12 goal involvements this season, are going to be key to their run-in. With injuries to Harry Kane and Son Heung-min Tottenham are likely to rely on the trio of Lucas Moura, Dele Alli and new signing Steven Bergwijn for the vast majority of games between now and the end of the season, meaning they may turn out to be shrewd acquisitions.
The team have scored in every game so far this season and scored twice or more in four of their seven games this term. Despite this good goalscoring form, they haven’t been able to see similar fortunes at the other ends of the pitch, keeping just one clean sheet in the new campaign and struggling defensively at times.
Mark Uth had made it 3-1 before Haaland stole the limelight once again. The 19-year-old Leeds-born striker - the son of former Norway international Alf Inge Haaland - has now scored his first five goals in a Bundesliga record 57 minutes of football for Dortmund.

We’re confident that Sporting will win on Monday night and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The visitors head into the match as the clear form favourites and have an excellent record against the hosts.

Only the most hardcore supporters, and barely anyone under 35, will remember the 2-2 draw in Piacenza or the 4-1 victory at Cesena in 1994 as the Blades went out in the group phase. Indeed, the 1,827 that watched the game against Ancona remains the lowest attendance at Bramall Lane in modern times. Sheffield United have not finished in the top six of the top flight since 1974-75Do the Blades want Europe this time around, and the extra burden placed on a playing squad, one in which Jack O'Connell, George Baldock and Enda Stevens have played every minute of every league match?Former Scotland winger Pat Nevin, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, said it would be "special" if the Blades got into Europe but thinks they would need to sign more players.
But Neville was also keenly aware that the worrying recent run of results needs to come to an end soon. I thought the two kids who came on were sensational. Alessia] Russo and Chloe Kelly played without fear and they played with no ego," Neville said. They played with total humility and that was the biggest plus of the second half but apart from that, that second half was nowhere near good enough.
I was about 10 or 11. That was a really intense period, especially in the nationalist, republican community where I grew up. I saw some stuff. The plastic bullets. I used to see them lying on the street, six inch cylinders, heavy and hard things, but my parents kept me away from it. There's a story about the younger Lennon that tells you something about the steel in him. He was playing for Crewe when he broke his back, 16 metal staples being inserted to hold things together.

Scotland winger Ryan Fraser admits he has not "played for the team" in the first half of troubled Bournemouth's Premier League season. The 25-year-old also said he apologised to team-mates after being affected by links with Arsenal last summer. Bournemouth sit 18th in the table, with Fraser contributing just one goal and three assists. I felt bad about it - this last month I've been trying to put it right," he told BBC Radio Solent.
A player testing positive for coronavirus will not be a "catastrophe" for the Bundesliga, says Borussia Dortmund's managing director. Germany's top flight will become the first major football league in Europe to return to competition this weekend. We are relieved football is coming back," Carsten Cramer told BBC Sport. The moment they say 'Dortmund, you have too many positive tests' we have to make a decision.

Albion's own newly-arrived subs nearly put their team back in front when, from the artful Pereira's lovely chipped ball over the top, Hal Robson-Kanu squared left to Grady Diangana, but he missed his kick. And it was Rovers who came closest to snatching all three points. West Brom needed a point-blank save by advancing keeper Sam Johnstone to deny the fifth of Mowbray's subs, Jacob Davenport. Then, in a crazy scramble crying out for a show of composure, Albion were finally rescued when Bartley cleared off the line from another of the Blackburn 'game changers', Lewis Holtby.

Arsenal are winless in six games in all competitions and a five-match winless run in the Premier League saw them drop to eighth in the standings, with disillusioned fans constantly voicing their displeasure over their failure to win. Group leaders Arsenal can seal progress to the knockout stages of the Europa League with a win over Frankfurt and Emery said he hopes to "connect" with the disappointed fanbase and win them over.
The fans understandably want the player, but sometimes you have to say no [to the selling club] because sometimes it's not healthy and there have been lots of cases where chief executives and managers get absolutely vilified for standing their ground. Hopefully everybody understands that we have to do that now, and this will force people to be more cautious. There is also a flip side to that, he says.
Two very strong teams, teams that already at the start of the season showed their game in attack, and already have some positive series of several matches. Moreover, they stand high in the table, in my opinion on the third and fourth line if I'm not mistaken. True, I don’t really believe in a draw, I confess right away, but I also can’t decide on someone’s victory so that the odds suit me. And since I have minus about twenty thousand in my current tournament, and only two days remain, I have no choice but to shoot three-plus bets like this. If this bet does not enter, then you need to wait for the next tournament

We are disappointed and frustrated so I understand the supporters. Emery rebuffed suggestions his tactical switches are compounding the club's problems. Last year we played well in a lot of matches with Lacazette, Aubameyang and Ozil," Emery said. When we use different systems it’s because the players are ready to do that.
