On this showing, though, ‘Tiki-Taka’ is back at the Camp Nou with Barca claiming 83% of possession in this win over Granada. They will need to be more creative and ruthless in attack going forward, but Barcelona fans will surely be pleased with how this was much more of a traditionally typical display from their team.
SEMEDO. So close to a third goal in the space of just seven minutes! Semedo burst down the right side, showed great feet inside the box and then thundered an effort off the top of the bar! 55’ Levante should have scored! That was a golden opportunity for the away side to get back into this one. Morales bursts into the box, his effort is saved by Ter Stegen and Rochina blasts over the bar! What a chance! 88’ Another HUGE chance! Levante have had no shortage of opportunities in this second half.
Argentina's government has banned all international sporting events this month, although the national team's soccer World Cup qualifier at home to Ecuador on March 26 is not affected at this stage. Argentina and Colombia are due to jointly host the Copa America in June and July. South American governing body CONMEBOL said it had been asked many questions about the qualifiers but emphasised that the final decision lay with FIFA.
They've lost their greatest ever manager and there are no certainties in life after him. It seems like an age since Paul Heckingbottom was manager of Hibs, but his unhappy reign only ended in November. Jack Ross came in and steadied a wobbly ship. Ross did nothing remarkable, but he got them to sixth - which became seventh when the league was called - in what was an eminently forgettable season. It's still a whole lot better than the feeble fate that befell their city rivals.

They played together nine times in the Premier League in the 2015-16 season, when Villa were relegatedAs a player, Jack stood out straight away when I joined Villa in 2015, despite basically just being a kid in a struggling team. Along with former Manchester City midfielder Michael Johnson, I would class him as the best young player I played with - he was that good. I have spoken before about my first impressions of Sergio Aguero and how you could not tell how special he was by watching him in training, but then he came alive in matches.

Pep Guardiola's side lost a total of six league games in those two seasons combined, but their eighth defeat of this campaign leaves them 23 points behind the leaders, with seven games left.
When I started to do so, Grenada was not expected to do well. We had just qualified for the group stage of the qualification for the World Cup, and we started to attract additional UK-based players. Form that, I referred to Grenada and Shrewsbury as two 'Cinderella stories'. People mocked me at first but Shrewsbury were getting some favourable results against bigger opponents and Grenada were undefeated; in fact, we qualified for the Gold Cup as the lowest-ranked team in our zone, six points clear of the second-placed team.
Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho has been fined by the German football league after he was pictured getting a home haircut without wearing a mask.

With that mind, we think Tottenham are in line for a big result and we're predicting them to beat the 2.5 goal line by themselves. They've been scoring for fun so far and this should continue with them looking very good in the final third against West Ham at the weekend, Mourinho's first game in charge.

Read: Rob Green discusses life as a third-choice keeperSteven Caulker to LiverpoolSteven Caulker's move to Liverpool came as a surprise in January 2016 when he joined on loan from Championship side QPR. He had been on loan at Southampton but he was being kept out of the team by Virgil van Dijk - so the Saints were happy for him to leave and go to Anfield. Signed because of injuries, the then 24-year-old, whose career had stalled after one cap for England - he played in one FA Cup game for the Reds and as an 89th-minute substitute in two league games.

Say what you will about the FA, but they’re usually pretty quick on any reference to race by a player. A fine and maybe even a short ban awaits. Ole’s going to be at the wheel for a little while longer yet As Mauricio Pochettino and Max Allegri sit there on the managerial shelf gathering dust, Manchester United are cheerfully continuing with the plan that has been so wildly successful this season.
In a joint statement, the EFL and PFA said the move was a "recommendation and not a directive as there are clubs who have stated no requirement to take immediate action at this time".

The game eventually restarted from 77 minutes, with fans told it would be abandoned if the banner appeared again. Bayern's and Hoffenheim's players then just kicked the ball between themselves - with goalkeepers not in their goals - to get the game to its conclusion.

Deeney says that the Premier League clubs have been reflective and responsive of what changes could be made in elite-level English football, beyond the initial show of support from the players. They've been very good, very open, very receptive to challenge," he added. Also they've told me to shut up when I don't know what I'm talking about, which is good as well. So it's not a case of just, you know, whatever a person of colour says, they go: 'Yeah, we want to do it.
BERN, March 18 (Reuters) - After months of bickering over new competitions, talks of closed super leagues and complaints of greed by elite clubs, football's leaders have buried their differences to tackle the effects of the coronavirus outbreak.

It all adds up. Sir Alex Ferguson celebrates with Ole Gunnar SolskjaerGetty Images Ferguson wasn’t perfect, but he got more right than anyone else.

In the Premier League, the defending would be a lot better than what he currently has to deal with in Ligue 1.

Sydney leads the league with 28 points while Adelaide is 5`th with 15 points. The visitors are ranked 5th in the league and even though they have only 5-0-5 so far, they are in the play-off position. Sydney is again dominant and they have 6-0-0 at home this season. They were tested greatly at home vs City but even with a man down, they were able to win the game. Sydney is the team with the best attack but they also have the best defense in the league. Sydney has won the past 5 at home vs Adelaide and this should come as well. Adelaide is in a poor form lately, losing 3 of the last 4 matches and they already dropped some points against weak teams lately. Sydney is surely a better team here.

But the Frenchman's form has since nosedived - he has scored only two goals in his last 11 matches. Gareth Bale meanwhile has been in and out of the team and not scored since September, while Brazilian wingers Rodrygo and Vinicius offer plenty of promise but little consistency. The lack of a reliable goalscorer, however, does not worry Ramos, who has lifted four Champions League titles with Real and embodies the club's expertise in Europe's top competition, which they have won a record 13 times.

Away from St Mary's they appear unburdened, pressing effectively and counter-attacking with menace, but back on the south coast they struggle to exert themselves, even without the pressure of fans in the stands. Their display was not completely without merit but attacks tended to yield half-chances from long range for James Ward-Prowse, Stuart Armstrong and Nathan Redmond as opposed to the kind of clear-cut ones that have enabled the likes of Danny Ings to thrive this campaign.
Fleetwood Town will host Tranmere Rovers for this fixture of the league. Hosts are favorites in this game. Fleetwood are more ambitious team in this campaign. Perhaps, the hosts have the potential to get the victory in this game. However, the hosts have highly variable results. I think, the hosts will have to invest a great effort in this game. In any case, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Tranmere who' is not very good team in this league. Yeah, Tranmere are more vulnerable team. However, they will be in this game to try to pick up all three points because they are in danger to getting to the relegation zone. My pick - Tranmere Rovers to win.
