So our proposal will be - we will discuss this with our referees division - that it is a tolerance of 10-20 centimetres. We don’t have many interventions in UEFA competitions because our chief refereeing officer, Roberto Rosetti, said to the VAR’: It has to be a clear and obvious mistake.

The 2006 Argentina World Cup teamSo all of these young Riquelme's plying their trade in football now - is it a case of nominative determinism? Is everyone who carries the Riquelme name just bound to be great at football? More likely, there are loads more young Riquelmes knocking about the place who we haven't heard of (yet).
Only Liverpool players past and present Philippe Coutinho (41) and Roberto Firmino (52) have scored more. He went close to a hat-trick when he swept a shot wide of the far post from a tight angle. His return to goalscoring form has come at an important time with the club's record top scorer Sergio Aguero out for a few weeks with a thigh injury. Sergio is a legend of football. I have to score when I play because Sergio scores every time," Jesus said after the game.

A product of the Inverness Caledonian Thistle youth system, the former Scottish Cup-winner is enjoying life on the Mexico border, where an away game is thousands of miles away instead of down the A9. Here, he tells BBC Scotland about his favourite Terry Butcher team talks, leaving his home to see the world and his struggle with spicy food. What kind of dog or tree would you be?Ross, 28, made his debut for his hometown club at 17 when Terry Butcher presided over a relegation that ultimately offered young players the chance in the first team.
That left them two points behind Juventus and now they turn their attention to the Italian Cup. Inter are unbeaten in their last four games and against Italian sides, have only been beaten by Juventus this season. Over 90 minutes, Inter have only lost one home Italian Cup tie and beat Cagliari 3-0 in 2015.
Scottish football does not need to be "saved" by the English game by allowing teams to compete south of the border, says Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes. Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has claimed "filtering" the Scottish league, including Celtic and Rangers playing in the Premier League, would be "unbelievable". However, it is a view McInnes disagrees with. I think the product is good," he told BBC Scotland.

Valverde facing sack Ernesto Valverde has reportedly been informed that he will not be continuing as Barcelona head coach, with Quique Setien the favourite to take over.

Atalanta have conceded twice in three of their last four at home, with 80% of their games here seeing over 3.5 goals. With Juve still unbeaten and seeing the visitors have lost only three of their last 22 clashes at Atalanta. Given their recent run of 2-2 draws, we see value in backing the same again in Bergamo this weekend.

In fact a load of events that weren’t due to take place until April, May or even further down the line had already made a decision. Yet the response we had from the Premier League and UEFA? Silence. Actually, that’s not quite fair. UEFA had moved to suspend Manchester City v Real Madrid and Lyon v Juventus, but that was only after Real Madrid and Juventus were quarantined over COVID-19.
I said that's all of it right there, that it came off the post and right back to my foot. It ranks up there, it wasn't the prettiest but a goal is a goal and it is one of the most meaningful I have ever scored. Eighth-ranked Canada, bronze medal winners at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, have won all four of their matches and head to the final having yet to concede a goal.
Aston Villa is the big favourite, that’s clear, but who cares? It’s football and the ball rolls in each direction, that’s pretty cool. Some of the youngsters could even play themselves into contention for a trip to Qatar. I believe there might be a plane waiting for one or two, it might depend on how they play tomorrow.

At the very least, they can rely on Messi, who has scored four goals and has four assists in his last four league games.

The ball broke fortuitously to Aubameyang, but McCarthy pulled off an excellent save to prevent him finding the back of the net. Off the crossbar! Inches away from being a second goal for Arsenal! Tierney got down the left side, crossed into the middle, Pepe fired a volley down into the ground, but it bounces up on to the woodwork! 67’ What a chance! Southampton should have taken the lead again! Sokratis was caught in possession, the cross was played into the middle by Cedric, but Obafemi just couldn't make a connection six yards out.
LONDON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - If Leeds United seem nervous that their Premier League promotion bid will unravel as it has done so often, their jitters were embodied by Kiko Casilla's blunder in Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Brentford in the Championship. On a cold evening at the ramshackle Griffin Park, the former Real Madrid goalkeeper failed to control a pass from a team mate, missing the ball completely then falling over as striker Said Benrahma pounced.

Walter Ferreti is hosting Managua FC this time as the underdog. Well this is not quite my view, We see real odds for the match at 2,90 for 1, 3,12 for the draw and 2,47 for the away team. My preview with the poisson distribution of goals using the season stats says Ferretti should be at 2,29 and Managua at 3,19. So we have value here. As for the double chance which is my safe bet for this match, we have value with Ferreti at 1,73. True odds should 1,46. I'd say this match will go Ferreti or draw, 1 - 0, 0 - 0 or 1 - 1
We see that with the lack of black people at board level in UK governing bodies, it's embarrassing. You need change because unless you get people of colour in positions of power who can say 'that's not right', being there to speak and let their voices be heard, then how is it going to change?"When you see Wes Morgan and Troy Deeney with the captains and everybody, they've been so vocal - Kevin de Bruyne, Jordan Henderson have been so vocal in their support towards these guys because they know it's right.

But much like Klopp, Watford boss Nigel Pearson did not want to overplay the significance of the result in their battle for Premier League survival. It is just one game," he said of the win that moved his side out of the bottom three on goal difference. We have 10 left and we have to try and emulate today in terms of performance. The results have not been what we wanted. We found it difficult to find ways of winning games.
Rangers' trip to Craven Cottage had got off to the ideal start, Hugill putting them ahead inside three minutes of a high-tempo opening half from the visitors which saw Rodak twice called into action while another chance came off the post. Fulham, however, gained the composure their early performance lacked and hit back through Kamara just before the half-hour mark. Thereafter the hosts looked a reinvigorated force, Cavaleiro hitting the post before the break while Anthony Knockaert tested Lumley early in the second half.
Port Vale are unbeaten at home this season with five wins from nine matches and average 2.11 points per home game, which is well above the league average of 1.50, while Walsall average 1.11 points per away game, which is below the league average of 1.20. Walsall have also lost five of their nine away games this season.
David Beckham's Inter Miami scored their first-ever goal in Major League Soccer but were denied a maiden victory as DC United fought back to win 2-1. Rodolfo Pizarro got Inter Miami off to a dream start in what was just their second league game with the landmark goal after two minutes. They then had a goal ruled out by VAR and Roman Torres sent off for handball. Yamil Asad and Frederic Brillant then scored twice in two minutes as DC United turned the game around to win.
A second such battalion would follow. Public support for the game would deteriorate over the course of the season, with attendances and income dropping significantly for clubs, who now found themselves in an untenable position. Shortly after the end of the season, in April 1915, professional football was halted for the duration of the war. Football was largely gone but it was far from forgotten, remaining a necessary means of escape at the darkest of times.
Borussia Dortmund will against Eintracht Frankfurt in match Germany Bundesliga. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 3 goals due to Borussia Dortmund have top score goal like as Erling Haaland, Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus. Likewise Eintracht Frankfurt have great player to make score like as Bas Dost, Filip Kostic and Goncalo Paciencia. Therefore, I think the both team will play in tight and surely they will make much score. Moreover Borussia Dortmund have average total score is 5 goals on last 4 match. Surely this match can be happen again to have final score is more than 3 goals.
My first thought was what the hell was he doing taking a free kick from there?" said Sarri. It was extraordinary. Dybala is in a special class, in a very positive period of form, so right now he is making the difference. Before Tuesday's game, Dybala had told Spanish newspaper El Pais that Sarri had put the fun back into his game.
A few surprises happened last week in Israel leagues and here I would not put my hand in the fire by betting on the victory of the guests, however they have low chances to win. Hapoel Umm al-Fahm are the host and Hapoel Rishon LeZion are the Guests. In my opinion, Al-Fahm will be able to get point because they have good home record. The team lost only 4 games in this ground and it is highly unlikely that they lose. They can even win this one. H. Ironi Rishon also can't be ruled out of the context. Rishon is playing tremendously well too and has the potential to get the win. However, they have less motivation from their last games. Hapoel Umm al-Fahm need to take point to get themselves out from red zone.

Linking up with Solskjaer would probably help him settle back into England a little quicker, but he must have plenty of options when RB Salzburg finally decide the time is right to sell him. Read the full story Chelsea consider Ake move The Telegraph report that Chelsea are considering a move for Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake now that they have had their transfer ban lifted.
The hosts only appear to be getting worse too as they have failed to score in their last four league matches, a fact which has plagued them all season as they have also failed to score in exactly half of their home league games. This lack of goalscoring ability is something which will need to be addressed by the new management as soon as possible, as they have just a six point gap over the drop zone and know that they can ill afford for this form to continue the way it has been going for much longer.
With two weeks remaining before the Women's Super League and Championship transfer window slams shut on 23 January, the market is intensifying. Since opening on 27 December, it has already delivered high-profile moves, including Australia star Sam Kerr's arrival at Chelsea and England midfielder Izzy Christiansen's return to Everton from European champions Lyon. Among the other completed deals so far, Scotland left-back Emma Mitchell has switched from Arsenal to local rivals Tottenham on loan, while Liverpool signed Northern Ireland's Rachel Furness from Reading, after the Royals recalled her from Spurs.
I am going with away win in this fixture with at least a 2 goal margin. Away team find themselves in 2nd in the table and are 7 points from 1st spot. On the road they have managed to win 8 and drawn 3 of the 13 games played with them scoring 28 and conceding 14 goals. They have won 3 and lost 1 of the last 4
Shortly afterwards, Burnley should have had their own penalty when the hapless Davinson Sanchez barged through Chris Wood in an aerial challenge just inside the area but the referee waved away the appeals. Wood and Lo Celso both had decent efforts in the final half-hour but neither could break the deadlock.
De Gea made a fine save from Sigurdsson then the ball came back to Calvert-Lewin. His shot hit Maguire and the Icelander sitting on the floor lifted his legs to let the ball go past him and into the net. Is harsh but probably the right call.

Former Liverpool assistant manager Zeljko Buvac has been named sporting director of Russian side Dynamo Moscow. Buvac left Liverpool in April 2018 after 17 years working under Reds manager Jurgen Klopp and is understood to have been out of the game since.

La Liga could resume as early as 28 May in the best-case scenario as the league discusses its options, says its president Javier Tebas. No Spanish side has played a competitive game since 11 March, when Atletico Madrid knocked holders Liverpool out of the Champions League. Tebas says training will not return until emergency measures - in place until 26 April - are lifted in Spain. He estimates clubs could lose 1bn euros if the current campaign is cancelled.
Media playback is not supported on this device Rodgers expected 'dangerous game' against Saints Their defeats over Christmas against Manchester City and Liverpool were to be expected - what was far more damaging was drawing at home with Norwich and getting beaten by Southampton in the same period. The Foxes are still a good side and they will fancy themselves to win this game but I think we are going to see a reaction from Burnley here.
