Brutal reality was dawning. Brazil were 5-0 down at home in a World Cup semi-final. There had been a lingering suspicion throughout the tournament that Scolari's defence was suspect - and, robbed of suspended captain Thiago Silva, so it proved. It was then, as the second half started, that emotion was overtaken by raw anger and the Brazil team became the target. Ironically, in a reference to previous World Cup triumphs, Brazil's team bus had been decorated with the slogan: "Brace yourself - the sixth is coming.
Hamburg have slipped out of the automatic promotion places. They need to get back into winning ways after that giving away that two goal lead at Stuttgart, then conceding in the 92nd minute. Home form is better though and up against relegation-threatened Wehen, they can get an important win here.
No hesitation: 'Old Trafford. It'll be a dream come true to play against the team I supported in my youth. Little did he know what would happen five years later," Bennett added. View more on twitterNot all shared the same sentiment, with former Premier League midfielder Kevin Nolan telling 5 Live he could not understand the decision. Why haven't they gone and got someone like Edinson Cavani? He didn't want to stay [at PSG] until the end of the summer," said Nolan.
This trip was to Moldova, and we took a bus load with gifts to an orphanage. We took little bottles of Irn-Bru and the funniest thing was watching the kids get their first taste of it. You saw the look of utter confusion on one little girl's face, then suddenly it lit up when she tasted it and she downed the bottle in one. That's the memory that's stuck with me the longest. Also, when we went to the Faroe Islands, we hired our own plane.
The fact it doesn't matter for most fans shows the level of animosity towards Ashley. As kick-off for the Norwich game is approaching, Alex, a teacher and mother of one, explains how she is also "anti-Ashley" and keen on new investment. But she also recognises some of the issues raised about Saudi Arabia, including rights for women and the LGBT community. It's a difficult one," she says. But similar to what happened at Manchester City, if it brings more investment to the local economy and jobs then it's a positive.
The current United side look like they have desperately needed a natural centre-forward in their ranks since the departure of Lukaku because they lack a focal point in their attack. Read the full story Barca make Poch number one target According to the Sun, Barcelona have made former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino their top target as they search for a potential replacement for Ernesto Valverde whose current contract expires at the end of the season.
Watford's Odion Ighalo celebrates scoring their first goal with Troy DeeneyReuters Tottenham Hotspur are also reportedly interested in Ighalo, who has made no secret of his desire to return to the Premier League, while Sky Sports have also speculated that the possibility of a move to Bournemouth for Ighalo could be used to force through the King transfer.
Al Wasl and Bani Yas will face each other in the upcoming match in the UAE League. Al Wasl this season have the following results: 4W, 3D and 4L. Meanwhile Bani Yas have 2W, 5D and 4L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
I like defenders too and good headers. I don't believe too much that these players are perfect for this team and manager. But I think he is an exceptional player and that is why Man United bought him. Nani: I told Fernandes to join Man Utd Nani and Bruno Fernandes were Sporting Lisbon teammatesGetty Images Former United winger Nani, who now captains Orlando City in MLS, says he told his compatriot and former Sporting Lisbon teammate, when weighting up who to join, that he should go to United without hesitation.
The disadvantages of us not playing the league's top teams in our home stadium and in familiar surroundings, even with 27,000 Albion fans very unlikely to be present at the Amex, are very obvious. Clearly, we must accept there may also be some benefit from playing our remaining four away matches at neutral venues but the fixture list simply isn't equally balanced at this stage of the season, and we didn't play our first 29 matches of the season in this way.
The former Chelsea manager took over at Inter last year and has led a robust challenge to end Juve’s eight-year stranglehold on the Italian league title and earn the Milanese club their first Scudetto in 10 years. Lazio top the table on 62 points, two ahead of Juventus who have one game in hand, and eight clear of Inter, who have two games in hand.
The home team Monchengladbach held host Leipzig with 2-2 to help this team not be abandoned in the race to the Bundesliga championship this season. They are currently in the fourth position on the table with 4 points less than the team currently headed by Bayern Munich. In this round, Monchengladbach will be back home to host Hoffenheim and a victory will surely help the team continue to chase the top 1 and they will keep a place in the group to participate in the Champions League next season. On the other side of the line, Hoffenheim was not in good shape when losing to Wolfsburg at home with a score of 2-3
The two-legged tie - scheduled for 25 March and 1 April - plus any further fixtures should the Gunners progress, will see Joe Montemurro's squad juggling bids for silverware on multiple fronts. The defending WSL champions have been linked with a move for one of Montemurro's compatriots in versatile Australia forward Caitlin Foord. The rights to Foord, who played in all four of her country's games at 2019's World Cup and scored in a dramatic 3-2 win over Brazil, were acquired by Orlando Pride on Wednesday.

I automatically I expected the video assistant referee to come in," he said. He's probably thought: 'We have the technology in place. Why do we need to make a decision?' and that is the fundamental flaw. Technology is there to help, it is not there to make the final decision. The VAR has let the referee Michael Oliver down. If he had checked the goal, we would not be talking about it now. Referees can make mistakes; the VAR can't, because he has all the evidence there.
Emery on brink of sack The Telegraph reports that Arsenal manager Unai Emery is close to the end of his tenure at the club. The Spanish manager has overseen six matches without a win and after the Europa League tie against Eintracht Frankfurt, faces a tough match against Norwich. Massimiliano Allegri and Nuno Espirito Santo are on the shortlist, with Freddie Lljungberg a short-term option.

Raith Rovers against Forfar Athletic in match Scotland League 1. My prediction this match could be won for Raith Rovers with margin score is 2 goals. Raith Rovers have great result on last 5 match due to Raith Rovers have won in 3 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Forfar Athletic have not good result on last 5 match due to Forfar Athletic always lose. Therefore my prediction that Raith Rovers can defeat Forfar Athletic due to Raith Rovers have yet lose in every home match. Surely Raith Rovers have more chance to win on this match.
Into his second season in Turin Ronaldo picked up where he left off, scoring goals. Before the suspension due to the coronavirus, Ronaldo had scored 25 goals in all competitions; 21 in the league (already matching his tally from last season), two in the Champions League and two more in the Coppa Italia.
However, Fletcher believes the players themselves are far from convinced. It's a massive concern. We're not out of this situation by any means," said the former Scotland captain. Footballers will not only be concerned for themselves and their lives and the rest of their careers but they'll be worried about bringing it back to their family. Sport is important to everyone and we've all missed it but we're talking about matters of life and death here and I think that guarantees would have to be in place - but who can guarantee that players are going to be safe? "I don't think anyone can guarantee that at this moment in time.
Well in this game it is really hard not to expect goals cause Augsburg is in very good shape and since borusia defense is not the best is is very realistic that Augsburg Will score a goal or maybe even two of them and on the other aide Dortmund surely has ambitions to win this game and they are favorized from the Bookies so I surely expect from them also to be able to score two goals or maybe even three so overall it should be at least 4 goals scored and who wants to risk even more could try with over 4.5
This is a match from the Scottish 1st Division Championship where Kilmarnock will play against St Johnstone. After 15 matches Kilmarnock sit on the 5th spot with 22 points while the visitors Johnstone sit on 12th apot with 11 points. Saint Johnstone have not won in their last 6 away matches. They have lost 3 and drawn 3 matches. I think they will still lose against Strong home side Kilmarnock.

Despite both teams respective league positions, this shows that Mainz have actually been in better form than Leverkusen, of late. They will provide tough opposition for an underperforming Leverkusen side this Saturday.
Hamburger will lock horns with Armenia today as they look to as they look to get back to winning ways after a 2-2 draw last game they have registered one win 2 draws and 2 losses in their last five games and will be hoping to get back to winning ways with a result here.
VAR this time decided to humiliate the linesman and overturn his decision by awarding Leicester the winning goal. I've seen similar decisions ruled offside by VAR. Everton had put up a spirited performance but what this means for their manager Marco Silva is anyone's guess. Another difficult week for Silva I'm afraid. Did you know? Iheanacho is one of only two substitutes to have scored and assisted in a Premier League game this season, along with Brighton's Leandro Trossard versus Norwich.
Michel Hidalgo, who led France to their first major trophy at Euro 1984, has died aged 87 of natural causes. Hidalgo had been ill for a number of years and his family told a French radio station he had died "naturally of exhaustion" at home in Marseille. Hidalgo was coach of Les Bleus from 1976 to 1984, leaving the job after hosts France beat Spain 2-0 in the final of the European Championship. Two years before, France lost to West Germany in the World Cup semi-finals.
We’re confident that Famalicao will win on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0. Tondela have been impressive on the road this season but Famalicao are yet to lose in their own backyard and head into the game as the form favourites. The visitor’s form has turned in recent weeks and they now appear to be dropping back down the table, making it difficult to imagine anything but a home win this weekend.
While Huddersfield remain lodged in the bottom half of the table, they are at least moving in the right direction. Meanwhile, this weekend’s clash could prove to be another positive step forward for the Terriers, who are coming up against one of the division’s poorest travellers.
It does him a disservice. On the rare occasions when he has been on the bench he will make comments that coaches will listen to, even if they studiously pretend not to. He sees things on the same level as a coach. On one glorious and exceedingly rare occasion when he was going to come on from the bench against Sevilla, former manager Ernesto Valverde put his arm around him as if to give him instructions before effectively saying to him: "You know best, go out there and do what you like.

Both semi-finals and the final are due to be held at London's Wembley Stadium with 11 other host cities: Amsterdam, Baku, Bilbao, Bucharest, Budapest, Copenhagen, Dublin, Glasgow, Munich, Rome and St Petersburg. Cerefin said the idea is to "stay in the same cities" for the tournament in 2021 and Uefa has had "conversations with nine" of those host cities. With three cities, we have some issues. So we will discuss further, and in principle, we will do it in 12 cities.
As they so often do, Reims are fancied to win this fixture in low-scoring fashion. Punters can profit by siding with 'Reims to Win & Under 3.5 Goals'. Strasbourg's record on the road points towards them struggling against a very sturdy host. While the visitors have struggled for goals on the road, scoring in only two out of nine, the hosts have kept teams quiet, keeping a clean sheet in 50% of their matches. We shouldn't expect Reims to run riot, though. After all, more than three goals have gone in in just one of their ten home games this term, while only two of Strasbourg's away games have involved four or more goals.
A set-piece proved their undoing as the hosts equalised against the run of play, with Jefferson Lerma heading home. Andreas Christensen's marking was questionable, while Willy Caballero - once again selected ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga - arguably should have saved it. Fikayo Tomori was at fault as the Cherries raced into the lead moments later as Jack Stacey's cross was turned in by Joshua King.
This could be something that if infected by one of the players who hasn't been tested, could be passed back to them if they are living in the same household. Former Jamaica midfielder Jobi McAnuff, player-coach at Leyton Orient, said on Monday that he does not think "safety can be guaranteed in the current climate" with the global death toll now past 300,000. British Heart Foundation research shows that people with an African or African Caribbean background might be at higher risk of developing high blood pressure (hypertension) and having a stroke.
Pearson “loved” his time in Belgium, where he helped design the kit and managed a team in front of average crowds of 4,500 for 17 months. RETRO CORNER The Warm-Up remembers watching this live or maybe as a highlight while a top footballing hipster as a university undergraduate way back when. Alas, this clip does not have commentary but, if memory serves correctly, it went a little something like this: "Holy smokes! Dwayne De Rosario with the lightning bolt.

Before the return of the Costa Rican League, halted by the flu, the Cartagines were in fifth place on the table with 22 points. They are only inferior to the fourth place team, the position to participate in the knockout round to win the second leg of the championship, is only the difference of the goal lost.
We are going to La Liga Santander League where Athletic Club face Real Betis. The Basque team comes after two consecutive draws 1-1 and 2-2 against Atletico de Madrid and Eibar, so I think that today they must go for it all to score one or more goals. On the other hand, the Andalusian team needs to improve after adding just one point in the last two games, so we hope that it will a tense and tough contest. In the last direct encounter, the final result was: Real Betis 3 - 2 Athletic Bilbao. In my opinion Athletic Bilbao is currently in a very good level of form. I hope for a draw.
Hull City have never beaten Chelsea. Hull City have not had the best of runs this season and as they host Chelsea in the fourth round of the FA Cup, they will be hoping to better things.

Pardubice or Brno will play in the first league of the Czech Republic next season. Currently, Pardubice have 3 points more so they are not sure that they will win the first place that leads directly to the first league.
With seven subs - or a matchday squad of 18 - clubs are effectively able to offer players that are not a guaranteed start, but could be worth serious money, say £40m upwards, the guarantee of a spot in their matchday 18. Take for example Bernardo Silva, he was bought for £40 plus million in 2017, yet was not guaranteed a start for City – in his first season he started just 15 games, playing the full 90 in just three, despite being fully fit for the whole season.
The result was satisfactory. The second-half performance was satisfactory. Mourinho, however, will not be fooled. He was reminded of the flaws that brought him to Spurs. On this evidence, the relationship between the new manager and the Spurs supporters will be a slow burner and his applause to fans at the end was more polite than celebratory. This was a good start, a move in the right direction, a happy ending to a night that threatened a serious anti-climax - but it is only the start and much work remains.
