Mr Chirac told us that there is a sport winner and a moral winner. He told us that Calais was the real winner,” the coach revealed afterwards. Nantes would win the French title the following season but 2000 would remain Calais’ high point. They would embark on another cup run in 2006, reaching the quarter-finals, but then fell into prolonged financial problems that eventually led to the club’s liquidation in 2017.

Obviously this move comes with all the usual caveats about players transferring from the Eredivisie to the Premier League, but really, Ziyech has been making Champions League opponents look pretty silly for a couple of seasons now. This should work. Even better, it should be entertaining. By our calculations, he will make the Premier League precisely 2.
With the way they play their games, the football they produced and how far they are in front, they fully deserve the title this season. Al-Ittihad striker breaks coronavirus curfew, arrested Serbian striker Aleksandar Prijovic was arrested on Friday for violating the Balkan nation's coronavirus curfew, police said on Saturday.
Neither of these two teams have been particularly solid at the back this season. Werder Bremen have failed to keep a single clean sheet in the Bundesliga this season. They have conceded 29 goals in their 14 games. We don't fancy their chances of earning a first clean sheet at the Allianz Arena.
Galatasaray may be one of the largest associations in Turkey. But on the road, no team has had it easy against Trabzonspor. The Turkish league has been very so in recent years that most teams have a positive trend at home. I imagine the away team will have a lot of ball in this match. But it doesn't feel unreasonable to think that the home team will settle for at 3 point in this match.

That is my stance. Saturday's game was Ljungberg's last in temporary charge, with Mikel Arteta - who was confirmed as Arsenal's head coach on Friday - set to take over on Sunday. Arteta, who left his coaching job at Manchester City to succeed the sacked Unai Emery at Emirates Stadium, was in the stands at Goodison Park on Saturday.
The hosts turned the game on its head with five minutes remaining when Pazzini struck from the spot after Leonardo Bonucci was penalised for handball following a VAR review. Earlier, Moreno Longo’s debut as Torino coach ended in defeat as his side were beaten 3-1 by Sampdoria. Walter Mazzarri parted ways with Torino earlier this week after a run of four consecutive defeats.
You have to educate people in the VAR to get them to intervene at the right moment. Let's not forget that it is video assistance for the referee, so they [VAR] are not the ones who should make the decision but the ones who help the referee to make the right decision. Pitchside VAR monitors, as seen in use here during a Bundesliga match, have not been used in the Premier League this seasonIn a statement, IFAB accepted there was "a growing demand for more immediate information about the referee's final decision" after VAR reviews.
Sidnei crashed in a sensational opener, catching out Thibaut Courtois with a thumping drive at the near post, before giving away a penalty with a clumsy foul on Marcelo. Benzema slotted home from the spot, grateful for only his third goal in 15 matches, but then handed Betis their winner on a plate. The French striker undercooked a pass for Sergio Ramos and Andres Guardado intercepted it and played in former Barcelona forward Cristian Tello to finish.
Now he is ready for the next step, which is the international stage. Media playback is not supported on this device MOTD 2: Villa's Grealish has to be in England squad - Jenas I just cannot believe he has not even had a senior call-up by England yet because for me he should not just be in the squad, he should be starting every game - he is above what Gareth Southgate has got in his midfield right now.
I don't give them much hope of an upset because they are away from home and are in a relegation scrap in the National League, but this tie is a reward for their fans who have followed their rise up the non-league pyramid. Some people might see Sheffield United as dark horses for the FA Cup this season but I actually think they will have bigger fish to fry in terms of their league position, and focusing on finishing as high as possible in the Premier League.
Posted at 55' Daniel Wass (Valencia) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Posted at 53' Foul by Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid). Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to see some leadership on the pitch from Paul Pogba. The club record signing, 27, has made just two appearances since September because of a fractured foot.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Sunday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Groningen have looked strong at home but certainly not perfect, while Feyenoord have been average on the road by their high standards. The hosts head into the match as the form favourites and we believe the pair will play out a 1-1 draw this weekend.

Vasco da Gama do not have the best of runs at home, and neither do Chapecoense away but one constant factor is that the two sides have been scoring with some regularity. Both sides have scored in their last six meetings, and Chapecoense have scored in all seven meetings between them. Vasco da Gama have scored the most in the bottom eight teams in the standings but they have not managed more than a goal in nine of their last 11 matches. Given the two sides’ forms, and the fact that they have both been scoring in their meetings, we believe this clash will also see both sides scoring. We will go with a 1-1 draw here.
Neman Grodno will play against Ruh Brest in Vysshaya Liga of Belarus on Saturday. Rukh Brest are currently 12th in the table with two wins, three draw and two defeats. They Drawn last game to Gorodeja by 1-1 at home. Rukh Brest just scored three goals from seven Games this season. While Neman are currently 14th in the table with two wins, two draws and three defeats. They lost to BATE by 1-3 in the last game but Defeated Energetic BGU by 3-0 in the last home game. Neman are unbeaten at home this season and likely to win this game .
'Correct Score' players can try a 3-1 win for the English side, who for all their attacking quality have made a habit of conceding this season, shipping a single goal in six of their last ten. Monterrey have also made a habit of finding the net, scoring at least once in every game they've played since late September.

Read the full story 12:25 - Lampard proud of Chelsea's coronavirus response Frank Lampard has revealed his pride at Chelsea's response to the coronavirus crisis. The Blues have donated their Millennium Hotel, adjacent to Stamford Bridge, to NHS staff working in nearby hospitals, captain Cesar Azpilcueta was involved in the charitable #PlayersTogether initiative, and the club have taken part in numerous other community schemes.
Football Federation Australia said in a statement: "The safety of all players, officials and fans is of paramount importance to Football Federation Australia and the Asian Football Confederation, and we are confident we will host a successful tournament here in Sydney. The qualifiers were due to begin on 3 February but because of the Chinese team being placed in quarantine, the FFA has announced tickets will not be going on sale yet as "the health and wellbeing" of all those involved is their primary concern.
Power engineers started the season not bad, having won three beautiful victories at the start, but something went wrong and two extreme matches they already lose 0-3. The recession, of course, occurs in each team, but not after the third round, which means that so far the burden of leadership is beyond their power and it is too early to sweep the prize three. The Neman also seems to look pretty good, but playing away is just awful, at home he was the one who so far defeated one of the current leaders of Vitebsk 2-0, surpassing him in corners and shots on goal, including on target, which, by the way and the winning result is forged. Here I will put the hosts in a clean victory, the score I think will be no more than 2-0, and the guests will most likely not score again.

I know odds are not that great but I really am trying to be as safe as I can be with my best, facts are the hosts from New York, USA, of course everyone knows that won 5-3 in Costa Rica and have nothing to attack for it seem the time has been won by them but San Carlos has been conceding a lot of goals even in the league as the season in Costa Rica started early, and I see them wide open in defense although they should also be able to score as they really have nothing to lose here so will take the over 2.5 goals bet.
Both teams have scored in eight of the last 11 Valencia away games. Three of the last four Granada matches have seen both teams score. Only two of the last six Granada home games have not seen both teams get on the scoresheet. Granada host holders Valencia in the quarter finals of the Copa del Rey. The newly promoted side are tenth in La Liga, six points behind the final Europa League position.
Angelo Alessio's side has struggled to keep the goals at bay, letting in a whopping ten in their last four away days whilst only managing to net three times in as many games. Moreover, Kilmarnock has only scored in half of those games and net a mere average of 0.75 per away game.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES@Guymowbray: A tie that could hardly get any more interesting just has. It'll start with the team news, with Frank Lampard having committed to a strong line-up and Jurgen Klopp with a bit of a conundrum to ponder over his side. He talked of a "restart" after losing at Watford, and that presumably means straight away, with possibly a more familiar team than was picked in rounds three and four.
Typically excellent on home turf, Jorge Sampaoli's troops can be highly confident in giving the champions a run for their money. Indeed, they've dropped just 2 points from their last 8 home fixtures and having plunged home an average of 2.25 goals a game in the process, they'll certainly give the visitors plenty to think about
All throughout Monday cars went in and out of the Barca training ground, and the Nou Camp; press conferences and statements were rumoured, but did not come; Valverde took training as a dead man walking; his job had been offered to at least two former Barcelona players – Xavi and Ronald Koeman – who both turned it down.
Contracts run to 30 June but Orta expects clubs to "be ethical" over the availability of players, and believes next season will see more academy players being used. Uefa is talking about extending contracts by six or seven weeks, and some lawyers are saying that if the season hasn't ended, the contract hasn't ended," he said. In this moment we talk about helping each other and football is the same.
At the time of the decision, Wolves led the First Division by four points with a game in hand on second-placed Liverpool and four on Blackpool, in third. Stoke were one of a host of teams in a chasing pack a bit further back. The following few months, during which some sides were forced to play multiple games in almost as many days, resulted in a three-horse race for the title and with one game remaining, Wolves, Liverpool and Stoke, were separated by a point.
Christian Eriksen scored his first Inter Milan goal as the Italians won at Ludogorets Razgrad in the Europa League last 32. The former Spurs midfielder slotted home from the edge of the area after Romelu Lukaku's lay-off with about 20 minutes remaining. The Dane also hit the bar with a drive from 25 yards before Lukaku sealed the win with a penalty in added time. The second leg takes place at the San Siro next Thursday (27 January).
The Red Devils are currently on a six match unbeaten streak in all competitions and have won four times in that period, but not all is rosy at Old Trafford. They have won just six of their 17 Premier League matches this season, and amazingly four of these have come against teams above them in the table.
In the last six matches, Everton have scored in three, but on only one occasion have they been able to score more than a goal, and they have two clean sheets in the process. At home, in the Premier League, Everton are unbeaten in 10 matches; they last lost at home in the league to bottom side Norwich City in November 2019.

If there is a punishment for it, then I respect it. I find it sad. Bayern did not reveal the amount of the fine but said that they would be donating it to Munich hospitals. In their statement, the club said: "The guidelines govern the behaviour of the FC Bayern players in the current situation in line with the Bavarian state government’s directives on restrictions on movement and the recommendations of the health authorities.
I cannot speak for all of them, and won't try to - but of course most City supporters want to be champions of Europe. They make that clear themselves during the big European games. The atmosphere at the Etihad for the second leg of their quarter-final defeat by Tottenham last season was just electric, and one of the best I have ever experienced anywhere as a player or fan. That's what I count myself as these days.
Motson and Davies are another reason why those England games are so fondly remembered by millions of people, not just the ones who were lucky enough to be at Wembley to see them. But while their commentaries are part of the memory of that summer for everyone who was watching on TV, they were all new to me. Even the videos we were shown after the matches to go through things did not have a commentary on them so I had never heard them until earlier this year.
Chorley’s journey to the National League saw them win the National League North play-offs in impressive fashion last season, but they took a little while to adapt to life at their new level and they currently find themselves at the foot of the division. However, things have started to take a turn for the better of late and they come into this match having claimed three wins from their last seven outings.
Hamilton faces their second game of the season against an Old Firm side. The South Lanarkshire outfit held their ground well earlier on in the season and lost 1-0 to Celtic at home and we believe that Rice's side could put out a similar line-up for this game. Rangers have been in fine form and their away record backs that up, with 50% of their away days seeing over 2.5 goals and the Gers netting an average of 2.33 per away day.
The Scots then finished third in Euro qualifying Group I, with Israel coming fifth in Group G. How did their qualifying group go?Off the back of losing out to Scotland in their Nations League group, Israel started with a draw with Slovenia and wins over Austria and Latvia. However, things quickly fell apart after that. In their next seven qualifiers, Andi Herzog's side won just one - a 3-1 home win over bottom-placed Latvia - and lost five.
Gladbach stunned the hosts by going 2-0 up with first half goals from Alassane Plea and Jonas Hofmann, who pounced on a Leipzig defensive mistake. Leipzig, unable to control their opponents' speed in the first half, got a lucky break five minutes after the restart, with Patrik Schick slotting in after Gladbach keeper Yann Sommer had dropped the ball following a collision with a team mate.
