Is Jordan Henderson underrated? No, not by me - or anyone who has played against him or watched him regularly. I have been pretty vocal for quite a long time about his qualities and contribution for club and country - he was arguably Liverpool's best player in the second half of last season and he has carried on in the same vein in the current campaign. For me, he is now the first choice in his position for the Reds and for England, but he had to work hard to earn that status and win over some of his critics.
All high scoring matches for these teams so far both teams seem to be wanting to play their matches more open that means more goals. I think both teams could score in this game because of how each team leaves their defense open and this could mean over 2.5 goals. It has been going over this amount of goals often and no reason for this to not happen again. Have not seen much defense effort from either of these teams and they basically look to just attack fill on in their matches to score goals and look to want to score.
Sadly for Fulham fans the Argentine only needed the mask six times in the Premier League in 2002 and 2003. He had 250 masks in Argentina but only brought one to England. The Shearer classic Alan Shearer's 'arm in the air' celebration was seen up and down the countryRunning away with his right arm in the air. That’s it. That’s the celebration. Sturridge’s dance Media playback is not supported on this device Sturridge dance surprises young fansDaniel Sturridge often marked his goals with a dance involving wriggling his arms.
I've never seen a situation like playing games against tough teams with 45 hours between games," said Nuno. It's going to be very tough. Of course, it goes against everything - it's absurd. There's no explanation. Next month the Premier League will have its first mid-season break, where 10 matches will be played across two weekends rather than one. Players' union Fifpro has already called for the sport's stakeholders to get together to discuss festive fixture congestion in a bid to "ease this pressure".
Alfe Inge Haaland’s son had originally wanted to win the Premier League with another United - Leeds - but may now have to alter his plans, according to the Mail on Sunday. Paper Round’s view: Haaland is one of the most promising young players in Europe and could improve almost any side looking for major honours.
The two go to the game separated by just a point; Spurs on 40 points and in sixth place while Wolves have 39 points, in eighth place. Spurs were outclassed by Chelsea in their last match and earlier by Leipzig in the Champions League, making it four matches without a clean sheet for the North Londoners.
Bronze won the Champions League (pictured here with the trophy and team-mate Shanice van de Sanden), French league and French cup with Lyon in 2019"When you talk about moments in your career, leaving England to join Lyon was one of the biggest. I has just bought a house in Manchester, it could have been quite easy for me to stay there and play there. But I had this opportunity to play with kind of like the Galacticos in women's football.
The 26-year-old England international is a little unsettled, but the club believe they can keep him for now. They value him at £200 million, and believe the post-coronavirus transfer window will be a quiet one. Paper Round’s view: Any club would struggle to find £200 million at the best of times, and unless one is able to find financial assistance over the next month or two, it does indeed seem unlikely that they will find a club that can put in a sufficient bid.
Dinamo today will be meeting with the away team Shakhtar and this game we have given the home team to win this game or they will give us a draw at full-time as looking at the last game this two teams have meet together the home team have won many games as compared to the away team
The next tip I chose from the Oman league, we have a match between the teams Oman FC and Al Rustaq and both are in good form. This is a match in which it is difficult to pick the favorite because each of these teams is able to get the win. One thing is certain, that we will face a fierce and even performance.
Gremio is in 5th place with 62 points, 6 points more than Corinthians and with only 1 match left, Corinthias can't take their place to Copa Libertadores. Gremio is safe now and can play with younger players. Cruzeiro in this match comes only for win. Cruzeiro is in 17th place with 36 points and with a win they have chance to go to 16th place because Ceara have 36 points. With a win they avoid the relegation zone and in the final match they play against Palmeiras that also is not motivated and will play with younger players. I expect a win for Cruzeiro here. They are more motivated to win and also in the field despite the standings they will have more qualities in the field.
'Correct Score' players can try a 1-1 draw. Fleetwood have scored exactly once in two of their last three at home, as well as in three of their last five.

Top players already have at least six must-play events each season -- the Masters, PGA Championship, U. S. Open, British Open, Players Championship and either the Ryder or Presidents Cup. It is difficult to see how they could add 18 PGL tournaments and still find time to play even a limited schedule on the PGA Tour or European Tour.
The 60-year-old Italian, who has won domestic honours in Europe's top five leagues including the Premier League and FA Cup double at Chelsea in 2010, signed a four-and-a-half year deal with the Merseyside club last week. Ancelotti was in the stands for Everton's goalless draw with Arsenal on Saturday.
The last three encounters between these two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals while no more than two goals have been scored in three of Den Haag’s and four of Groningen’s last five matches, so you can begin to see why we are backing a low-scoring draw this weekend.
It could have changed my life,” said Clout, who says she is still suffering from dizziness, headaches and heavy fatigue following a concussion sustained during a match in August 2019.

I've told all my agents in Portugal, and also in my company in London: Don't call the clubs offering players," Fernandes added. Right now is not the moment, for all the reasons. Call clubs, maintain a good relationship with them, and with the players also, but try to understand how safe they are and if everybody is healthy. As for players, Fernandes and Marcelino have been trying to reassure those who are concerned about their future.
The 19th day of the 1st Polish division (corresponding to our Serie b) is scheduled for Sunday November 24th at 12.40pm, at the "Stadion OSiR" in Olsztyn, the challenge between the hosts of Olsztyn and the host team of the Radomiak Radom. Guests are in the playoff zone with 32 points won in 18 games, while the home team is firmly in the middle of the table. The home team finds it difficult to score at home but this time it will have a team in front of it that has caught several goals so far. I expect both teams to score.
United have already decided not to sign Ighalo permanently, but manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would like him for the rest of the season, given they are still in three competitions and could play up to 18 games in just over two months. A lifelong United fan who has scored four goals in eight appearances for the club, Ighalo wants to stay at Old Trafford if possible. However, negotiations with Shanghai have proved difficult, with the Chinese Super League club insistent the player returns as planned.

There is also the possibility to finish the season at the start of next season, with next season starting a little late. It would have to work with respect to the players and the signing periods. Messi and the Barca players help out, but the politics continue If you were being churlish you could say that it’s the absolute least they can do, but it was slightly heartening to hear Leo Messi confirm that Barcelona’s players are set to take a 70% pay cut and also “make contributions” to ensure that the club’s non-playing staff are paid during this crisis.

I understand that my position as a professional footballer brings the responsibility of being a role model. As such, I want to apologise to my family, friends, football club, supporters and the public for letting them down. There are heroes out there making a vital difference to society at the moment, and I have been keen to help support and highlight their amazing sacrifices and life-saving work over the past week.

But if people want to see it like this, I'm not the guy to tell them to stop doing that.
Harry KaneGetty Images “We try the best we can,” Mourinho said. News on Harry we don’t have, and if you ask me every time we come here the answer will be the same. We expect him to be out until mid-April, end of April, May, next season, I don’t know. Our view: Expect a call from Southgate, Jose Spurs, who have not won since Boxing Day, could now be without their first-choice striker for the remainder of the campaign.
Three or four managers in the league look like they are one more bad result away from losing their jobs unfortunately," said BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson.

Some will argue that it’s part of the game, that players effectively have two lives each time they step onto the pitch and are therefore entitled to scissor someone down. But does it make for a better spectacle? And more importantly, does any yellow card offence?" RETRO CORNER On this day in 2010, Manchester United are knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich, after Rafael was sent off and Arjen Robben scored a quite brilliant volley to clinch the tie.
The Frenchman scored both Arsenal goals and gave them a cutting edge in front of goal. The best you could say is that Lacazette made the most of the chances he was presented with, with Arsenal otherwise lacking in the final third.

Keane is now working with the mental health charity Calm (Campaign Against Living Miserably) to encourage others to reach out for help if they need it, especially young men. I think it's hard when you've never done it before, so pride might stop you from doing it, you might think if you speak out you'll be showing a soft side," added Keane. It's completely normal and completely fine to do that and once you do it once you'll realise yourself a lot of people do keep it in.
United, linked with the 25-year-old last summer, initially refused to meet Sporting's demand for 80m euros up front.
