Joe Root only scored 13 runs in the first test and has dropped out of top ten batsmen rankings. His captaincy isn't in danger yet but some of his field placings and letting bowlers try to bounce the opposition out has to be questioned. Dom Sibley batted for just over three hours on his test debut but only scored 34 runs and Olly Pope scored just one.
But once you separate the emotion from it, you realise that it's football and sometimes football is cruel. It's difficult to do that, though. Even now, 12 months on, I feel a combination of anger at the referee and at VAR and anger that we didn't shut up shop better when we were 3-0 up with 16 minutes to go. We already felt aggrieved because decisions didn't go our way in the first couple of games, and we maybe felt a bit like we didn't really belong at the tournament.
Melbourne City have a golden opportunity to close the gap on the leaders, Sydney FC, this weekend with the current champions having a bye week and Melbourne will be glad that the side they face is the club with the worst form, Newcastle Jets. City have scored 11 goals in their last five games but have only won twice, increasing the gap to Sydney to 11 points.

As has often been the case in previous seasons, the saving grace seems to be home form. Wimbledon haven't been in imperious form at Kingsmeadow, but they're not an easy side to beat when playing in front of a home crowd, as only two defeats in eight games suggests. They have struggled in the final third, though we probably shouldn't judge the Dons on what they did under Downes. Hodges has had just one home game as permanent manager. They drew 1-1 against Lincoln, but certainly weren't the better team in terms of chances created, so much so that they were a tad fortunate to take a share of the spoils. Final-third improvements are a must.
Grazer and Floridsdorfer will face each other in the upcoming match in the 2. Liga in Austria. Grazer this season have the following results: 4W, 6D and 6L. Meanwhile Floridsdorfer have 4W, 5D and 7L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Pogba was a prime target for Zinedine Zidane last summer, and Cope report that despite refusing to let the French midfielder leave last summer, Solskjaer is now warming to the idea of allowing Pogba to leave Old Trafford for a fee of around £128million. Solskjaer said last week that he hoped Pogba will return from injury before the end of the year – but claimed he was still some way off from training.
Thirty-first round of the Premier league and this match faces two great teams that are currently among the top four in the league and vying for a place in the Champions league. Chelsea, who plays at home, is in fourth position and needs to win in order not to risk losing the spot, on the other side the Manchester City team that is in second position wants to win to interrupt the Liverpool title they won in the previous round, my suggestion for this match is a very balanced game with many goal opportunities and the end result will be a draw.
My only concern when that came out was it makes me look like I'm trying to be Mr Tough Guy. I'm not. The players were part of the process. I'm not here to be a dictator and make things difficult. We spoke with the players and I gave the list to Cesar Azpilicueta when we set out the fines. Maybe the numbers were chosen by myself to a degree. View more on twitterThe money collected from the fines will be given to charity and Lampard, whose Chelsea side face Manchester City on Saturday (17:30 GMT), is confident his players are happy with the system.
Hello everyone. For tomorrow I want to give you one prediction from Italy Seria A between Fiorentina-Spal. Fio not filling good last games and they are in very special condition about this game. They must to take this game because they are on the bottom of the league and this opponent is very good for them. Spal is one of the worst team and this is a good chance for Fio to take three points. For them this game is very important that's why I think they will take the win with more than two goals. My bet here is win for Fiorentina.
Norwich will host team Southampton at home stadium. Hosts are in the bottom zone. Guests are in the middle zone. My bet is on hosts with AH +0.25. It will be the first match for our teams after long break. And we don't know about current shapes of our teams. Norwich HS a birthday on this week. It is the second great motivation for them to get some points in this match ! Last two h2h games were for Southampton. Guests didn't play draw games in the last 6 games played. So, a draw is possible here . I recommend to try this bet with me !
Let's be honest, there are much more important priorities than any sport. His own chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge disagreed and said it was right to play at the weekend. At the end of the day, professional football is all about finances," he told reporters. There is still a large payment due from TV broadcasters.
Galatasaray have some mixed results in their recent fixtures. They have not drawn in their last 6 matches as well. They have suffered 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road. Currently sitting on 6th spot, they will be hoping to climb the table up by winning it. They have not lost in their home ground this season having won 3 and lost 2.
He is entering the final phase of his contract and I think it will then be a concern of the club (Inter) to bring him to Milan,” said Moratti had kicked. Reports of fractions between the playing squad and the board at Barca have grown in frequency in recent week, with six directors resigning their positions on Friday.
Media playback is not supported on this device I will be here, no matter what happens - Pep Guardiola If City do win here, then that would cement them in second place but I still think Leicester are looking pretty secure in third. They are up there because they have been more consistent than the teams fighting it out below them.

Burton are not exactly the best placed team to take advantage of the woes of their hosts as they have failed to win in their last three away matches. However, they have earned 60% of their points on the road and have scored a massive 83% of their goals on their travels. That attacking output has it’s drawbacks though as they have also conceded 88% of their goals away from home.
Making the trip to The New Lawn is a Crewe side who have been one of the surprise packages of League Two this season. With a team largely made up of academy products, they were not exactly expected to be around the title picture. However, they are the top scorers in League Two with 32 goals scored and after scoring five at the weekend, they will be confident of earning the win. They also boast one of the best away records in the division despite seeing both teams score in 75% of their away matches.
We’re confident that PSV will win-to-nil on Saturday and we have predicted a 3-0 final scoreline. The hosts aren’t the form favourites heading into Saturday’s clash but do have a great record against their guests and have played their best football at home this season, while Fortuna Sittard are yet to win on the road, where losing has become a habit.
One more great match for tonight in Champions league and one more match, where I will not complicate anything - I will just bet on goals and enjoy in match. Ajax is, if I remember correctly, scored in last five matches in all competition every time four goals, what is amazing. In match against Chelsea, it was 4-4, even they are deserve to win. Lille is already eliminated, but teams in that positions, sometimes can be dangerous, because they are playing without any pressure. Over 3 is very real if we know that one of rivals is fantastic Ajax. I will try.
Bournemouth are looking to win three consecutive home games in the league for the first time since 2018 while Chelsea are seeking a first away win this year in their fourth attempt. Chelsea's Olivier Giroud, who opened his league account against Tottenham Hotspur last time out, has scored once and made four assists in three starts against Bournemouth.
With the Foxes winning their last six matches in a row after a last-gasp 2-1 success at home to Everton on Sunday, it is no wonder Rodgers has been linked some top jobs but, by his own admission, he has unfinished business at Leicester. My main focus is very much with Leicester. They've been first class with me," he said after Sunday's game when he confirmed he has a release clause in his contract.
Nevin, however, is not so sure about the reception Mourinho will receive at the club where he won those titles. We've seen him reminding Chelsea fans what he's won before when they've criticised him," says Nevin. Like holding up three fingers to remind them of his titles. I think he's going to be OK with Frank on Saturday because he and Frank were pretty good together. He likes the fact Frank stands up to him a wee bit.
Argentine Icardi, on loan from Inter Milan, scored either side of the interval with Neymar, a Jessy Moulin own goal and a Kylian Mbappe effort adding to the woes of Les Verts, who were reduced to 10 men when Wesley Fofana was sent off after half an hour. Icardi has scored 17 goals in 19 games for PSG.
We’re confident that Porto will win on Thursday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. Porto are yet to concede a goal or drop any points at home domestically and realistically Feyenoord have to go for the win if they want to qualify and that means there will be gaps at the back for Porto to exploit this Thursday.
In fact, since the start of the 2017-18 season, no player in Europe’s top eight leagues has more assists or chances created – and only two players have taken more shots. There’s a reason Ajax call him their “wizard”. Simply put, Ziyech is the kind of player who could legitimately be a long-term replacement for Eden Hazard; the kind of player who will have fans, pundits and probably other players swooning over him; the kind of player to light up the Premier League, as so many entertainers from foreign shores have done so before him.
Ulsan missed the title by virtue of having scored lesser goals than Jeonbuk, after both sides attained 79 points. They will hope for better times this season. Going to this game, Ulsan are expected to be the stronger, having made a number of high profile signings. With the acquisition of winger Lee Chung-yong and Bjorn Jensen and the club holding on proven scorer Junior Negrao we expect the hosts to run rings.
Rodgers defends Maddison over Dubai night outMOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES@Guymowbray: A Wolves win would actually put them sixth at least until Sunday. When you consider that this is game 42 of a season that started in July, you can only applaud how Nuno Espirito Santo has met the demands of home and Europe together. Yes, they have resources, but not a huge squad. Indeed, no team has fielded fewer than the 20 players to feature in the Premier League for Wolves this season.
Bayer Leverkusen were unbeaten in 10 matches at the time of stoppage. Werder Bremen have the joint poorest attack in the league. In nine of their last 10 matches, Leverkusen had scored two or more goals. Werder Bremen have conceded the most goals in Bundesliga. Werder Bremen have six straight home losses in Bundesliga.
When I put Mourinho's name to one club recently, the instant response was: "He'd want £250m for new players before he sat down at his desk. Spurs and Levy do not work like that - or at least they have not under Pochettino. After arriving from Southampton in May 2014, he spent £394m on players but recouped £295m. Pochettino was prepared to work, for a time at least, within that template as he achieved four straight top-four finishes in the Premier League and reached the club's first Champions League final.
Much of Rovers' downfall on the road has been down to a lack of goals. Graham Coughlan's men have scored only six goals away from home this term, which makes them the third lowest away-day scorers in the division. Their defending has been far from the worst in England's third tier, but a total of ten goals conceded doesn't look great when we consider how few they've scored at the other end. Rovers have also kept just one clean sheet on the road. They've failed to score in four out of seven.
But they did not show any spark until the second half and only 15% of the match was played in Chelsea's third. When they did put pressure on the ball and pushed high up the pitch, Chelsea showed nerves in a match crucial to their pursuit of Champions League qualification. Jamal Lewis and Todd Cantwell won possession in Chelsea's half and tempted Chelsea duo Mateo Kovacic and Kurt Zouma into rash challenges which brought them yellow cards.
If things are the same then as they are now, with the number of people who are dying, then we are not going to be talking about football. As of now, I am giving my opinion based on the situation at the moment and, right now, we still have time and the desire of the majority of football people to get things done. As things change, you reassess. What happens if we cannot finish it? As things stand, Villa would climb out of the relegation zone if they win their game in handMichael Brown: A lot has been said about Liverpool and the title, but really that would be the easiest one of the lot to sort out.
Braga score an average of 1.57 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.43 goals while Tondela score an average of 1.38 goals on the road, with the hosts home games producing an average of 3.00 total goals. Over 3.5 goals have been scored in 57% of Braga’s home games so far this season and both teams have scored in 43% of their home games, adding further weight to our prediction of a 3-1 home win this weekend.

Pique has been questioned for travelling to Madrid each day to attend the first edition of the tournament his Kosmos company has transformed, with newspaper Sport saying his role as figurehead was incompatible with his job as a Barca player. I had a friendly conversation with the coach about my plans and how we were going to manage it, I have a phenomenal relationship with the coach and with the club, all this noise is coming from outside," Pique told reporters.
The U's showed a dogged determination and robust defensive organisation in both of those encounters, though the lack of attacking thrust they displayed at the other end is something that has held them back all season.

To a man, they were excellent and I couldn't have asked for more from them. They are disappointed, but I told them to lift their heads up because we are really proud of them. It is a great point. Celtic manager Neil Lennon: "I thought we were outstanding. We absolutely battered them in the second half and a draw was the least we deserved. The response from the team was everything we expected of them.
Despite Monaco winning eight of their last nine home games, just one of these victories came against a team in the top five at the time of playing (Lille, 5-1). The one defeat in this time also came against a team in the top five (Lille, 0-3) so they haven't really proved themselves at home against top sides yet. PSG have won their last four trips to Monaco and we're backing them to do so again. We expect that Monaco will get on the scoresheet as they have done so in ten of their last eleven home matches but ultimately we see this one finishing 3-1 to the visitors. They rarely struggle in back-to-back matches and even though Monaco have a new lease of life, we see the champions getting the three points.
Nine days later elite football was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, with fixtures played behind closed doors since its resumption in June. Dier has since met with the supporter, who he confronted after jumping over pitchside barriers and into the stand. It was his own decision to do it," Mourinho added. The person is a Tottenham fan and was sorry about what happened. The way I was told, he had the dignity and wanted to apologise to him.

They are 12th in the Belarus Premier League, a place and a point ahead of visitors Neman Grodno but from a game more. Gorodeya drew their most recent league game 1-1 at Slavia Mozyr. They led in that match but a 61st minute equalizer denied them three points. That now means they have gone five league games without a win, though three of them have ended 1-1.
