Bale remains committed to Real Madrid, says Courtois Gareth Bale is still committed to life at Real Madrid despite a failure to repair his deteriorating relationship with manager Zinedine Zidane, according to Thibaut Courtois. Bale celebrated Wales' qualification for Euro 2020 by posing for cameras behind a flag that read 'Wales, Golf, Madrid' - a reference to the player's alleged lack of interest in playing for the club and preference for the gold course over the Bernabeu.
A surprise choice, its wisdom was proved by Liverpool winning their first League and FA Cup double in his first season. He then fashioned a magnificent side around new signings John Barnes and Peter Beardsley to win the title in 1987/88 and was only denied another double in 1988-89 by Michael Thomas' last-minute winner for Arsenal. This came weeks after the Hillsborough disaster at the FA Cup semi-final with Nottingham Forest on 15 April which resulted in the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans.
Goals went in at either in 100% of Wanderers' last six league games and in a whopping 79% of their EPL matches since the summer. It's also worth noting that their 0-0 draw with Leicester City on the opening weekend of the season remains the only Premier League game this term where Wanderers didn't score.
Miedema and Reiten have also had great seasons. Miedema's goalscoring ability is second-to-none and she has done incredible stuff on the international stage but England is a late bloomer and that makes me like her even more. She has shown that you can still do it if you work hard. She has spoken about her struggles on loan and how she has dealt with her mental health. And now she has turned into not only a fantastic footballer, but a really inspirational leader and person in football.
The hosts finished the normal season on 3rd season at this youth level this while the guests caught the last play-off place finishing the normal season on 6th place, but the form before this game is in favor of the hosts as they won 3-0 away at Sabanas U20, and 5-1 win at home with Real Madriz U20 as well, this while the guests lost 4-1 at Sabanas, lost 3-0 at Managua FC U20 and last game was their worst at home with Esteli U20 losing it with 5-0 in the end so really not that great morale for them coming into this play-off game which to their bad fortune is also going to be played away from home.
I cannot see them making it two in a row, though, because we know how good Sheffield United are - they always seem to produce a decent performance - and because they have had a bit of a rest too. The Blades did not play at the weekend because their opponents, Aston Villa, were in the Carabao Cup final, and they have only had three games since they beat Millwall in round four at the end of January.

LONDON, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho admitted it hurt to leave out keeper Paulo Gazzaniga for returning Hugo Lloris for Wednesday's Premier League win against Norwich City. France World Cup winner Lloris has been out since dislocating his elbow during a defeat by Brighton and Hove Albion in early October with stand-in Gazzaniga proving a capable deputy in the intervening period.

The Argentine, who led Spurs to the Champions League final last season, was sacked by the north London club last month and replaced by Jose Mourinho. In his first comments to journalists since his exit from Spurs, Pochettino said that after spending time with his parents and family in Argentina he is now getting prepared for whatever his next challenge will be.
Chasing the money is what the Glazers are about. Joe: Sacking Solskjaer is not the answer. These so-called United fans calling him to go should get real. Until Woodward and Glazers go nothing changes. Fergie was only successful due to his skills at calling the shots as well as his management skills. Ole doesn't have total control due to Woodward, neither did Jose, Louis or Moyes so support the football team and complain about owners.

I would like to see Abraham get an opportunity against Italy and Denmark later this month and, if he is fit, I am sure he will. He is not going to be England's first-choice striker unless there are injuries to the players ahead of him, but that is exactly what has happened. Tottenham's Harry Kane and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford won't be involved in either of those friendlies, and Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate does not have many other options.

The visitors had dominated the game for the first hour. Hugo Lloris turned an Aguero shot onto the post in the first half before saving a penalty from Ilkay Gundogan five minutes before half-time. In the scramble after that save Raheem Sterling went down from a challenge by Lloris but after a VAR review there was no second penalty awarded.
Nonetheless, they have largely taken care of sides in the bottom half of the standings and the three defeats they have suffered on the road have been against teams currently placed in the top five. Txuri-urdinak have managed to win half of their away games and we feel they represent decent value to bag a fifth success this weekend against the out of form hosts.
Medical protocols stipulate how squads and coaching staff must travel to and from games, observing social distancing. Post-match broadcast interviews will take place pitchside with press conferences conducted virtually. VAR will continue to be in operation. How did we leave things?Before the suspension of play in the Premier League, Liverpool were hurtling towards their first top-flight title in 30 years.
Champions League Napoli Genk. The owners are noble dryers, will anybody immediately remember when they last participated in the game, where a big score was recorded? Genk also had those goals, I don’t take into account the internal championship about Europe, where they play with teams whose names you won’t say the first time. Napoli, of course, will win, while a draw will be enough for her, I think 2 or 3 will roll and calm down. Genk clearly doesn’t shine anything, but it’s also a shame, what’s the point, in the end, you need to fly off a couple of goals with a good team and consider the mission compliant. Good luck everyone.
Liverpool on the other hand just keep on winning. The Reds dismantled Everton 5-2 in the Merseyside Derby on Wednesday, hitting the net from each of their five attempts on target during their 90-minute battering of their local rivals.
All of the ingredients were there for Everton to win on this ground for the first time since 1999, but once again that Anfield win eluded them. The Blues were the better side in the first half but just didn't turn up after the interval. They faced an under-strength Liverpool and had a new manager with a fine record against both Klopp and the Reds.
The first game in the round two of the Vysshaya liga in Belarus. The host for this game are Torpedo BelAZ and they will be facing Newly promoted side Belshina Bobruisk. The host started the season with a win against Shakhtyor Soligorsk away from home 0-1. Belshina failed to hold on to a 1-0 halftime lead in their opening game at home against FC Minsk and they lost the game 1-3. Belshina played really well in that opening game and they will not be making it any easy for Torpedo in this game. I think guest game get a point at least in this game 1-2
They had slipped slightly with a run of three draws and a defeat and then went a goal down at Norwich last weekend. Two goals in three second half minutes got them in front, a result that would have been appreciated by fellow relegation strugglers Aston Villa. Sheffield United have won three home games but lost four.
Morecambe suffered a third straight league defeat when they went down 1-0 at Bradford last time out, while Colchester were held to their third stalemate on the run when they drew 0-0 at Stevenage. However, with three draws and two wins from their last five league games, Colchester claim the title of form favourites heading into this weekends’ clash as their hosts have lost four and won one of their last five outings.

A lot could be decided before this game begins. Derby's play-off hopes may have finally been extinguished and Leeds United could be promoted as champions. Derby have struggled in the past couple of weeks with three straight losses. Leeds are in top form and regardless of what happens over the next few days, they can beat Derby. It's just a crying shame that their long-suffering fans won't be there to celebrate.
For the first, he controlled a long Manuel Neuer kick before shooting from at least 30 yards, with the goalkeeper spilling his shot over the line. His second, which ended Leverkusen's hopes, was a wonderful chip over Hradecky. Leverkusen's reputation as Germany's nearly men continues. They have lost a Champions League final, three German Cup finals and finished Bundesliga runners-up five times since winning their only two major trophies - the Uefa Cup in 1988 and the German Cup in 1993.

Best finish: Winner (2008, 2012)What a defender. Ruthless. Started out as a right-back in the 2008 victory and won it again four years later in the centre of the back four. Scored in the 2012 semi-final shootout with a Panenka. Naturally. Frank Rijkaard (Netherlands) - 9 apps, 1 goal. Tournaments played in: 1988, 1992. Best finish: winner (1988)As versatile as he was classy, Rijkaard could play at centre-back and also featured as a wing-back and in central midfield in 1992.
Fletcher looks borderline offside but we have no VAR today, so he races onto the ball into the area and slots it through Gazzaniga to give Middlesbrough the lead! 61’ GOAL! Middlesbrough 1 Tottenham 1 (Lucas Moura 61) This is a superb equaliser by Tottenham. Lo Celso pushes forward from midfield with intent, and finds Aurier on the right wing.
Released by Sheffield Wednesday at 16, Vardy was forced to wear an electronic tag after being convicted of assault and was substituted early while playing for non-league side Stocksbridge Park Steels to avoid breaking his curfew. If the away games were too far, I could only play an hour and they’d have to take me off,” Vardy said. It was a case of hope we were winning, jump over the fence and straight in my parents’ car to make sure I was home in time.
A criticism aimed at Chelsea this season is the amount of points they have dropped at home and against their top six rivals. Having an experienced head in the team like Giroud in a team who have one of the youngest average age starting XIs in the Premier League this season could help alleviate that. Giroud has simply not been involved as much as he should have been at this point in the season and deserves a run in the team.
New Zealander Payne and goalkeeper Oliver Sail were stopped by police while driving the golf cart on a street in northern Sydney in the early hours on Tuesday. Payne was breathalyzed and subsequently charged with drink-driving after being taken back to a police station. I just want to say I am incredibly sorry and incredibly embarrassed for what I've done," the 26-year-old told New Zealand's Radio Sport.
In addition, correct score aficionados are pointed in the direction of a 2-1 Watford win. The Hornets have rediscovered their goalscoring sting under Nigel Pearson, hitting the net two or more times in five of their last six fixtures, though they face a Tottenham outfit that have registered at least once in 11 of their 14 matches under Jose Mourinho's direction.

Six years ago, wing-back Baldock was playing in the fifth tier for Tamworth while Basham also appeared at that level for Stafford Rangers when he was starting his career at Bolton. There are very few players, if any, in the team that have spent all their lives in the Premier League," said former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson, who was at Bramall Lane on Sunday for BBC Radio 5 Live. There are no egos in that dressing room.

Afif is one of a growing number of standout performers from Qatar and is the second player in succession - following on from Al Sadd club mate Abdelkareem Hassan - to be named the continent's leading player by the confederation. That growing production line has Xavi believing the 2022 World Cup hosts will be more than capable of making an impact at the finals on home soil in three years' time.
But for clubs that do operate with integrity and do things by the books, then there is potential for a company like 23 Capital to be involved. A boutique operation, and that is what they are, don't have to go through so many layers of approval, don't have to go through governance rules you may see at JP Morgan, where a bank of that nature is very risk concerned and will have a compliance department, which to a certain extent is the tail wagging the dog in corporate lending.
In January the EFL charged the club "for recording losses in excess of the permitted amounts provided for in EFL regulations for the three-year period ending 30 June 2018". Spending rules allow Championship clubs to lose £39m over a three-year period. They also face action over the sale of their Pride Park stadium to owner Mel Morris. The club say they reject the grounds of both charges. Rooney, 34, had been heading talks with Derby executives, but the club's first request was rejected by the players following PFA advice.
