If you look at it that way, we have got an Olympics, a home Euros and then a World Cup so what a three-year cycle that will be for women's football. I think it will be good for the game - whether it's next year or a year after. Scott says it's been a "test" during the lockdown but has enjoyed the freedom of "not getting dictated to all the time" and being able to shape her own training. I've kind of enjoyed it - it's been a little different," said Scott.

Bristol City have won their last five home league games played on New Year's Day and they’re out to continue that good form with another strong result this week. They should have confidence when it comes to taking on the Bees, as manager Lee Johnson has edged this battle of late. Brentford manager Thomas Frank is winless in three previous Championship games against Bristol City (D2 L1).
Middlesbrough head here without a victory in their last 10 matches, while Barnsley can better that. The visitors have failed to win their last 16 games in the second-tier, leaving them in last place. If they slip up against their relegation rivals here, there may be no way out for the away side.

Juventus Managua is the big favorite this time playing at Real Madrid stadium. Juventus Managua is overrated by the bookies at the odds of 1.48, as fair odds for them seem to be around 1.85. Still we have quite a risky games as they play at home and they are indeed favorites against a weaker Real Madrid. Real Madriz is underrated by the bookies at the odds of more than 7.5 as fair odds for them seem to be around 4.50. So being a little careful I would say they will not lose for more than one goal and AH +1.5 is my bet
Chelsea may just be clinging on to a place in the Premier League's top four despite the handicap of their summer transfer ban - but step into the rarefied atmosphere of the Champions League and they are brutally exposed. And how they had their flaws shown up in the most emphatic fashion as they were taken apart far more emphatically by Bayern Munich than the 3-0 scoreline suggests in a Champions League last-16 first-leg tie that concluded in funereal silence at Stamford Bridge.
Will that change the view of people in Europe? Probably not," said Klopp. HUGE IMPACT The Liverpool boss was without key defender Virgil van Dijk and his fellow Dutchman, midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, for the 2-1 semi-final win over Mexico's Monterrey and says he will wait for late fitness tests on the pair.

We go to VAR. NO GOAL! It is unlucky for Spurs as Lo Celso's well-placed finish from the edge of the box just clips the heel of Son on its way in, with the South Korean in an offside position. SAVE! What a save from Gunn! Alli threads a lovely pass through for Lucas, the Brazilian looks certain to score, fires for the bottom former, but Gunn sticks out a leg and just gets enough on it to divert the ball wide.
Jena is already out of this 3rd German league. This team had some up and downs in last 10 years, but now finally touch the bottom. Tonight will be without three players suspended. Skenderovic ( att. 5+10), Pagliuca ( att. 12+5 2g), Kauper (midf. 15+4) and will be really hard for them to score. They won only 3 games so far, and now they are 15 points till the safe zone. So for me everything clear. They don't have any motive left. On the other hand, Zwickau need points and this team must go for a win here. I can see easy away win in this one.

The biggest obstacle is always the final bit - the last 1% or 2% - and going above them to try and beat them. A big obstacle we have to overcome' England missed a couple of decent chances against the USA but in the end were well beatenNeville has spoken of a two-year plan to prepare for the European Championship in 2021 and named a young squad for the tournament in the US. Injuries to key defender Lucy Bronze and forward Beth Mead were a blow but Neville said this week he "trusted" the ability of his young players.
Amstetten will against Salzburg in match Austrian Cup. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 4.5 goals due to Salzburg very more strong rather than Amstetten. Moreover Salzburg have great forward like as Hwang Hee Can and Smail Prevljak. Moreover Amstetten only play in 2nd division Austria League. Surely this match will be different from both team. Meanwhile Amstetten have great result on last 5 match in International friendly, I think they still can't defeat Salzburg due to Salzburg more strong rather than Amstetten. Moreover Salzburg have average to make score 6 goals on last 5 match in International friendly. Surely this match can be the end score is over 4.5 goals.
As recent results suggest, Birmingham are starting to a better job of making themselves hard to beat – they've lost just one of their last five – but they're struggling to come out on top. They've won just one of their last five, as well as just one of their last seven.
What chance does the great project have of ending in a true fairytale? It’s difficult to say, not least because of the way Real Sociedad have been playing this season. Home-grown star Mikel Oyarzabal is dove-tailing wonderfully with Alexander Isak and Martin Odegaard and together the trio help make Imanol Alguacil’s side one of the most exciting in Europe.
BERLIN, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Paris St Germain coach Thomas Tuchel defended a change in system against Borussia Dortmund despite a 2-1 loss in their Champions League Round of 16 first leg on Tuesday. Tuchel fielded a 4-3-3 system but while it piled bodies into midfield to keep Dortmund forward Erling Haaland under control it also left their own forward Kylian Mbappe far too isolated.
Another match from Austria Bundesliga where I see at least three goals and with a little luck, similar like in previous match, and more than that. Wolsberger is this season make amazing result, when they are in Europa League beat Roma as a guests, with fantastic 4-0, what was the biggest surprise this season in all European competitions. Home team was really very efficient in last period and in last three matches, this team is played 1-4, 2-2 and 2-2, so I'm sure that they will continue that way and this time. I will bet on goals and enjoy in this duel.
Tottenham have reversed their decision to use the government's furlough scheme for some non-playing staff during the coronavirus crisis following criticism from supporters. On 31 March, the club announced 550 employees would take a 20% pay cut in an attempt "to protect jobs". But on Monday, a Spurs statement said non-playing staff will receive "100% of their pay for April and May". Only board members will now take salary reductions, the statement added.
All 3 games between these two clubs last season had at least 5 goals scored in them with Al Jazira scoring 13 of those goals and the guests scoring 4 of those goals as they first played in the cup group stage at Al Jazira who won the game 5-2 but I believe they had the lead 5-0 till late in that game, a couple of weeks after that game they met in the league, the guests tried to be defensive but were 1-0 down, than a miracle happened for them as an Al Jazira player received a red card, but still conceded 2 more goals and while 3-0 down late in the game they scored once more 2 goals to lose just 3-2 in the end.
In fairness to Granada, that point was a pretty decent one against Atletico Madrid at Los Carmenes last weekend as German Sanchez cancelled out Renan Lodi's first ever goal for Los Rojiblancos, but the overall trend of Nazaries' form in recent weeks has been one of sharp decline.
It is fair to say the team shape didn’t work great, but I don’t think the manager could have done much different,” said Neville. It was just a tired performance by us… As a team we had been sprinting so hard for so long. Though Beckham’s crossing was missed, he was easily United’s best attacking player among the starting XI.
It was Palace's third consecutive league win after a winless seven-game run and it moved Roy Hodgson's side up to 10th in the standings. Ayew gave Palace the lead with their first shot on goal when James McArthur created an opportunity for him to take a shot from the edge of the box, beating the outstretched arm of Ben Foster in Watford's goal.

Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward says speculation about transfers for "hundreds of millions of pounds this summer" is ignoring the "realities that face the sport" because of the coronavirus pandemic. United were linked with a £200m move for Tottenham striker Harry Kane and potentially spending a further £130m on England and Borussia Dortmund wide-man Jadon Sancho. Nobody should be under any illusions about the scale of challenge facing everyone in football and it may not be 'business as usual' for any clubs, including ourselves, in the transfer market this summer," Woodward said in his opening address to a United Fans' Forum on Friday.
Silva went crashing into Rashford in the penalty area like a bull in a china shop. If the tackle itself wasn't a giveaway, the player frantically waving his hand in mitigation to the offence certainly was. Rashford, nevertheless undeterred by Silva's bully-boy tactics, got to his feet, brushed himself off, and amidst the white-hot heat of a Manchester derby sent the City keeper the wrong way. Now that's a top class striker.
The FA Cup quarter-finals have been rescheduled for the weekend of 27-28 June with the final set to take place on Saturday, 1 August. FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said the dates are "dependent on all safety measures being met" with venues and kick-off times yet to be confirmed. The semi-finals have been rescheduled for 11-12 July. On Thursday the Premier League said it is set to return on 17 June with the hope of playing all 92 remaining games.
Solskjaer's side were clinging on for so much of this game and squandered the big opportunities when they came in the shape of those chances for Pereira and Martial. Martial's wild finish was symptomatic of his performance. United were counting on him even more in Rashford's absence but he simply failed to deliver. He was laboured and lack-lustre. United did close down Liverpool's potent full-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson for large parts of the game but there is a glaring lack of quality that has been exposed so often this season.
This is the Premier League. You come out of two wins and suddenly you lose four on the spin. It creeps up on you. We have to fight for everything. We have always had to do that. The confidence gets sucked out of players if they are not winning. We are trying to revive that. Burnley continue to struggle against big sides - match statsChelsea registered their first league double against Burnley since the 2009-10 campaign under Carlo Ancelotti.
However, they were dealt a blow before kick-off when the Championship's top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic was ruled out with what Parker described as a "slight problem" which he hopes will not keep him out for the second leg. Fulham had won each of their three games during Mitrovic's recent suspension but, in his absence on this occasion, their attacks initially lacked a focal point. For all the visitors' early long spells of possession, they offered little in the way of cutting edge until the final few minutes of the first half.

But I don't really know yet how long it will be. Martial, 24, missed over seven weeks of action due to a thigh strain towards the start of this season but has managed to score 15 goals in 31 games in all competitions. His injury puts yet more strain on a United side who are missing fellow striker Marcus Rashford with a back problem and record signing midfielder Paul Pogba with an ankle injury.
