After all the clubs, all the Champions League and World Cup matches he played in, Beckham says the hardest thing he has ever done was become the owner of a MLS franchise and getting Inter-Miami on the pitch. Without a doubt," Beckham said. It has been the hardest thing to get it up and running. It was a real challenge but one that I knew that was going to happen.
This tournament is being played behind closed doors at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida so neither team has home advantage. DC United drew their opening game 2-2 with Toronto FC. Their goals were scored by Federico Higuain and the veteran defender Frederic Brilliant, nominative determinism ensuring that he got on the scoresheet.
Chelsea, of course, received the full program from Bayern, but if you remember, something I predicted for that game of the Champions League. I do not think that a defeat from the Munich team should somehow seriously affect the condition of the Londoners. It seems to me that the Chelsea players themselves must understand that now Bayern are on a completely different level. Therefore, too predictable defeat is absolutely unlikely for everyone to change the mood of the team. And despite the score, still “Chelsea” did not deserve three goals conceded. They themselves created moments, holding on from the onslaught of the Germans to the last.
That put Leeds behind in a league match at Elland Road for only the second time this season and, without injured forward Pablo Hernandez, the hosts struggled to create clear chances until the midway point of the second half. Left-back Ezgjan Alioski hit the post with a powerful low drive from the edge of the area and sliced a shot over the bar after a cross had broken to him in the box, while Preston goalkeeper Declan Rudd made stunning saves to keep out headers from Alioski and substitute Eddie Nketiah.

We have been in self-isolation for almost four weeks.

It is still not clear when the Bulgarian championship will resume. As of Tuesday, the Balkan country had 565 confirmed cases of the new coronavirus and 22 deaths.
You see them talking to each other and saying where they should go. But we still have to improve.

I think it is just fine to try same option and here in another match from Germany Bundesliga and when I said that, I mean, of course on goals, what is very very real option. So, Wolfsburg is solid team this season and they are after two loses, 1-2 and 1-3 in last round won in league 4-2, as a guests. On the other side, Fortuna is team who is without win in last few matches but in last match, they are beat K'lautern in one fantastic match in Cup 5-2. It will be very interesting to watch this duel.

Barnsley were unable to muster a response as they slid to their first home defeat since Gerhard Struber took over as manager in November.
Manchester City aren’t exactly stalwart at the back right now, and the injury to Aymeric Laporte certainly isn’t helping things. Fernandinho has been deputising at centre back, resulting in just two clean sheets from their last six matches.
Seoul will against Kedah in match Champions League Asia. My prediction this match could be win for Seoul due to Seoul more strong rather than Kedah. Even though Seoul on last 4 match in International Friendly only have 3 match is draw and 1 match is lose, I think Seoul on this match still will be won. Meanwhile Kedah on last match in Champions League Asia have great result due to Kedah can defeat Wofoo Tai Po with score is 5-1. Nevertheless, Kedah not more strong rather than Seoul. Moreover Seoul will played this match in the home and surely they will over confidence.

Deeney goes straight down the middle, De Gea gets out of the way and Watford are 2-0 up! 85' - CHANCE! Greenwood takes down a through ball well and looks to lob Foster, but puts too much on it.

How important is this signing for Dortmund? It is very important. Dortmund missed out on signing a real striker last summer, something they were criticised for a lot. Paco Alcacer misses a lot of games because of injuries and is our only striker. Haaland is exactly the kind of player - a big, cold-blooded box player - Dortmund needed to keep their season goals, winning the title, alive.
Celtic and Rennes have been given a match to play in the fifth round of the Europa League in which this match will be played in Group E and it is a match in which a relieved host who has already achieved a placement distant competition, where there is only a dilemma from which position awaits the last placed team of guests in the group who have won only 1 point so far and today they play less for the honor in this emch. I think that the guest coach can even perform certain deadlines when it comes to meeting some new boys and keeping the first team for the domestic championship.
The Partenopei have won twice in their last 14 games across all competitions. They are coming into this match with only two clean sheets across their last 15 matches in all competitions, despite improving their defence in the summer. With Gattuso expected to ring the changes before a weekend meeting with Fiorentina, Napoli’s backline could be exposed once again here.
one more match in which I think home team is overrated especially Viking because they started with two defeats, first one from bodo glimt at home with 2-4 and then bran destroyed them with 3-0 win on the road and on the other side mjondalen started with a draw and a win and I think at the moment mjondalen is better team so I m not going to be surprised if they got the win here but still the odd on double chance is too good to be avoided so I will go with that and I surely recommend it to anyone
The surprise move for Ighalo comes after United failed to land their prime January target, Norwegian Erling Haaland who instead chose to move to Borussia Dortmund from RB Salzburg. With only Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial as striking options, Solskjaer badly needed an additional forward and Ighalo, while not a player many would have expected to head to Old Trafford, offers an experienced, low-risk option.
Montpellier have won six of their nine home games this season and Brest have lost five of their eight away games so far, so the hosts average 2.11 points per home game and the visitors average 0.63 points per away game, which points towards a home win this weekend. Montpellier score an average of 1.67 goals per home game and concede an average of 0.89 goals while Brest score an average of 0.75 goals per away game and concede an average of 1.75 goals, which is why we have backed a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of the hosts.
I hope we are going to take some points, step-by-step. In the end, hopefully everyone will be happy. Canaries boss Daniel Farke said: "It's a good deal for all parties.

After the week I had to take my chance. I had Manchester City, United and then I spoke to Mourinho - which I didn’t think would ever happen. To be honest, after I left the room with Mourinho I said 'that’s it, I don’t need to talk to anyone else, I’m going to Chelsea. What he told me, the team he wanted to make, what he thought of me, how he wanted me to play, this is what I wanted.
Leeds went into the pandemic-imposed break leading the table by one point, a whole seven points clear of the first non-automatic play-off place, third. Cardiff are ninth in the table and still in the running for a play-off place as they are only two points behind Preston in sixth. Marcelo Bielsa would have been as frustrated as any manager by the hiatus as his team were in better form than any other in the second tier.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first Serie A hat-trick as Juventus beat Cagliari. Ronaldo took advantage of a Ragnar Klavan error early in the second half to give the champions the lead, before scoring a penalty after Marko Rog fouled Paulo Dybala. Portugal legend Ronaldo then set up Gonzalo Higuain to put Juve 3-0 up. And moments later he got his 56th career hat-trick when he slipped the ball under goalkeeper Robin Olsen.
Champions PSG took the lead when an Amiens attack broke down and a precise pass from Neymar found Mbappe, the 21-year-old French international sprinting forward and coolly chipping the ball past keeper Regis Gurtner in the 10th minute. Gurtner pulled off a string of fine saves to keep his side in the game but the Amiens defence was breached immediately after the break as Mauro Icardi forced the ball in towards Neymar who rattled it home.
It happens like that. I can see why people lose it to drink and gambling because there's no release. It can be difficult.

There is no doubting Messi’s ability to do that, but COPE and Marca have both reported that he is tired of “being a scapegoat” for everything that happens at Barcelona. So could the unthinkable happen and Messi leave?

Home team is coming after bad row, where they did not win for three matches. They have lost recent two, without to score a goal, and are having issues in the attacking play. Their offense and poor efficiency, could be advantage for Mew, who will try to make surprise here.
The 31-year-old Brazilian international has attracted interest from Barcelona and Inter Milan, and he can leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the season, reports the Telegraph. Lampard explained: “He's in talks with the club [about a contract], he speaks with the club on the money side of it.
Last season this game ended in a 4-3 win for the hosts one of the most high scoring games in the league from last term as both teams are quite attacking minded and searching for a top 6 finish this season as they want to avoid being in the relegation groups, the guests have become soft in defense lately first losing their first away game of the season away at Copenhagen with 3-0, last away game they conceded one goal more losing 4-2 at Aarhus but at least they scored twice, and at home last round they only drew 2-2 with Lyngby but games with over 3.5 goals scored in them.
Rangers and Celtic would both have 'B' teams in the bottom tier of a 14-14-18 league set-up being proposed by the Ibrox club for next season. Kelty Hearts and Brora Rangers would also be invited into the SPFL to make up an expanded League One, with the "innovation paper" also suggesting Hearts and Partick Thistle avoid their respective relegations. Both Old Firm B sides would immediately pay a £125,000 joining fee, with further payments to be made in each of the following three campaigns.
Struggling Arsenal and bottom club Watford, in comparison, have each started 22. So, Sheffield United's dressing room is a tight-knit group, with more than half the side starting all 13 games this season. That figure includes the centre-backs Jack O'Connell and Chris Basham as well as wing-backs George Baldock and Enda Stevens. All five played in the Championship last season and have contributed to Sheffield United being the third-meanest defence in the league behind the top two sides, Leicester and Liverpool.

Having a fully fit Kane could have disguised a lack of attacking finesse, but now there’s no hiding place. Mourinho already said after drawing against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup at the weekend that neither Lucas Moura nor Son Heung-min could be considered strikers, and so it seems inevitable that Spurs will now enter the market for a type of player which more readily fits Mourinho’s conception of what a striker should look like: namely, a tall lad who is good in the air and can hold the ball up well.
