Lighting up Euro 2016 Media playback is not supported on this device Euro 2016: Gareth Bale's three goals for Wales For a long time it seemed Bale was destined to be a George Best or Ryan Giggs, an icon of British football who would never get to experience an international tournament. However, after a 58-year wait, Wales qualified for Euro 2016 thanks largely to Bale's brilliance in qualifying. Wales went from unfancied outsiders to one of the stories of the tournament, improbably reaching the semi-finals with Bale producing some electric displays along the way, including a goal against England in the group stage.
Firstly, Wanderers failing to score went against the grain of the overall consistency in front of goal they have shown this season – in fact, Wolves went on to score in every single game they played since losing to Braga two months ago (13 games).
IN OTHER NEWS Presumably New York City fans will be delighted to hear that their new manager is nearly – not actually, but nearly – moved to some sort of emotion after being appointed. Almost. Close enough. HEROES AND ZEROS Hero: Romelu Lukaku With just over half the season gone, Romelu Lukaku has already scored more goals for Inter than he did in the whole of last season for Manchester United.
I am losing weight. We have been in touch with the British High Commission and given them our details in the hope of getting a flight home. We are apparently on the waiting list, so it is a case of fingers crossed at the moment. The league has been cancelled and the club finished fourth, but football can take care of itself: first and foremost in my mind is to get home to my family and get some much-needed time with them.
Watford did well in their last game, to come from down and beat Norwich 2-1. The team’s first win since football resumed, catapulted them to four points above the drop zone and they can only look to build on it when the Magpies visit. It ended a run of three straight losses but they are still searching for the first clean sheet, having conceded in all the last six matches.
Freiburg are undefeated in their last four Bundesliga games. Furthermore, they have been great away from home this season. They have lost just one of their six Bundesliga away games going into Sunday's fixture.
Burton come into this game in midtable in League One, with their home record in need of some work. However, the home side are coming off a solid run of form, with back to back victories to their name.

But the game was at night under floodlights, and that is what made it weird. During the day you can see everything around and outside the ground, but when you are playing and the floodlights are on you cannot actually see much beyond the edge of the pitch. So, when we scored it was almost as though you expected the crowd to cheer. There was no-one there of course, but you couldn't see that there was no-one there.
Second placed Olympique Marseille have emerged as the realest challengers to PSG for the Ligue 1 title and when they travel to 15th placed St. Etienne they will be hoping to close in on the league leaders.

At one stage Liverpool were just getting the job done, now it looks like they are having a party. Did you know? Salah has scored more goals on home soil than any other player in the Premier League this season (12 goals in 12 matches at Anfield). Roberto Firmino: The Brazilian played half this game as though the ball was stuck to his feet. The touch he displayed when he took the ball out of the sky and placed it perfectly in his path, prior to playing an inch-perfect pass for Henderson to score was pure genius.

The Argentine told the press that the 24-year-old French international could be in line for a move, with both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur interested in the winger. Simeone said: "If Lemar can stay or not. Paper Round’s view: Lemar has struggled to truly establish himself at Atletico Madrid, but in his time at Monaco he demonstrated that he was a player of huge promise.
He looks like one for the future. For Liverpool, life - or in this case defeats - come at you quick. Liverpool have now lost three games - to Atletico Madrid, Watford and Chelsea - in two weeks. Having been on for an Invincible season and a treble, Jurgen Klopp's side need to beat Atletico Madrid now to salvage their season.
It was a good job I went back, I forced myself to go back because I became occupied and I got that obsession again that Manchester United were going to the top, and it occupied me morning, noon and night. Matt Busby in a Munich hospital bed in 19581958: With only one cap to his name, Busby takes charge of Scotland for two matches - against Northern Ireland and Wales, giving a debut to teenage centre forward striker Denis Law.
The 61-year-old Becali, who made a fortune in real estate after the fall of communism in 1989 and served as a member of the European Parliament, praised CFR Cluj coach Dan Petrescu, a former Chelsea and Southampton right back, for restoring discipline at the club. Look at Dan Petrescu," said Becali. CFR players have sex only once a week.
Liverpool had almost all the possession but Arsenal's much-criticised rearguard remained organised and put their bodies on the line in desperation to preserve the lead given to them by the generosity of the champions. When Liverpool did get through they found Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in commanding form once more. He has been a real revelation since stepping in for the injured Bernd Leno and was excellent again here, dominating his area and also producing a fine save from Mohamed Salah in the second half.
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.
Abha is doing the best job in the first league from the newly promoted clubs they are safe from relegation with 23 points, 7 points more than the bottom 4 clubs, this even though they lost two games in a row at home last one a difficult one against the league leaders from Al-Hilal in which they did score to their credit and lost 2-1 in the end. But back in the start of this season they won 2-1 away from home at Al Wahda.
The only reason for us to go there is for the opportunity to win it, and that's what we'll try. Until this year, Klopp had a pretty horrible record in finals. After winning the German Cup in 2012 with Borussia Dortmund, he lost his next six major finals as a manager, culminating in Liverpool's 3-1 Champions League defeat by Real Madrid in May 2018. Beating Tottenham in Madrid on 1 June this year to win the Champions League put an end to that run.
It's the environment he's in and it has caught hold of him. Spurs have lost their last four matches in all competitions and are in danger of missing out on Champions League qualification after reaching the final last season. The FA is looking into the incident and has asked the club and the player for their observations.
They moved the ball quicker, pressed better and had more players on the pitch who could damage the home side, even if this was only by sticking their head in where it hurts as Iheanacho did to reduce the deficit. Jamie Vardy was involved in the build-up to the goal but he was otherwise given very little to work with as he more vainly went in pursuit of a 100th Premier League goal. Leicester's race is far from run, though, with this unorthodox, condensed end to the season meaning the chance to rectify matters is only ever a few days away.
Schalke and Werder Bremen will face each other in the upcoming match in the German Bundesliga. Schalke this season have the following results: 9W, 10D and 8L.

There was 1-1 in the first leg, and here I expect quite close game.
Conte has been complaining all season about his sqaud's lack of experience and strength in depth, insisting he needs more players if Inter are to end the Juventus' long-standing domination. In one angry outburst in November he said the club had made "important mistakes at the planning stage" and warned that they could not expect to win anything by signing players from Cagliari and Sassuolo - a reference to Nicolo Barella and Stefano Sensi respectively.

A shock exit from the Copa Del Rey (prolonging Zidane's wait to win his first domestic cup as a manager) didn't have any knock-on effects, Los Blancos bouncing back with an assured 4-1 at Osasuna. Three points clear of reigning champions Barcelona, Madrid have an exciting combination of experience and budding talent in their ranks; not to mention a magician on the sidelines.
These are the first two clubs above the relegation zone at this moment with Augsburg having 32 points while Mainz has 31 points and they sit 4 and 3 points above the relegation zone right now with Bremen winning this round and coming with same number of points as 3rd from bottom Dusseldorf right now, but between these two I will favor the guests to win this one not only because they beat Mainz with 2-1 at home earlier this season but because they won recently with 3-0 away from home at Schalke which is stronger than Mainz and played quite well on the road away at a strong Hertha Berlin side in excellent form after the break.
Jablonec-Zlin, in this match, the Jablonec himself can cope without Zlín to beat, Zlín happens not to have bad matches, just like Frankfurt in the Czech championship, the defense doesn’t work, and the attack is not bad at times, Jablonec doesn’t have bad players, Sikora and Jovivić since they score goals and as great assistants from the flanks, there are not many stats, the Jablonec player scores 1.8 goals per game on average, misses 1.3. Fastav Zlin scores 0.9, misses 1.7. The Jablonec gives the opponents to score as well, in person. The Jablonec scores Fastav Zlin 9 times in a row, I think why they shouldn’t play over 2.5
The Piedmont region where Turin is located was exempted from the ban on Sunday and Juventus immediately said the game would go ahead with spectators. However, ANSA said on Tuesday that the city council had decided to call the match off. The decision came as the Civil Protection Agency said that 27 people had died of the highly contagious illness in Italy over the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of dead to 79, while the number of cases rose to 2,502.
That is likely to mean another start for 18-year-old striker Mason Greenwood, who scored his seventh goal of the season against Everton. With two goals in the 4-0 Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar last Thursday, Greenwood is turning into one of United's most potent attacking weapons. And Solskjaer says it is becoming tricky trying to leave the Yorkshireman out of his first-choice side. It's very difficult now to put a team out there without having Mason in my mind, yes," said Solskjaer, himself a prolific forward for the club between 1996 and 2007.
Winning is not boring - losing and drawing is boring. Biggest regret?"When I was 17 I went to America to study at university because I got told I wasn't good enough to go to this England programme. I only stayed the one year. They said if I stay, I won't get picked for England for the next couple of years - it's too far. So I came back to England and then I had a run of injuries and thought I should have just stayed in America.
