The Ballon d'Or for the world's best players will not be awarded in 2020 because of a "lack of sufficient fair conditions" created by the coronavirus pandemic. The prize has been awarded by France Football every year since 1956. Barcelona's Lionel Messi won the men's prize last year, with USA forward Megan Rapinoe claiming the women's trophy. France Football said awarding a prize in a "crippled" year would "not be worthy" of their history.
England striker Ellen White says she still "can't stand video assistant referees" after having a goal ruled out in the World Cup semi-final defeat by the USA last summer. White thought she had equalised to make it 2-2 in the second half before VAR deemed her to be marginally offside. USA went on to win 2-1 after Steph Houghton had a late penalty saved and centre-back Millie Bright was sent off. I do sit at home and think 'ahh, I just can't stand VAR!'," said White.

The lack of more passes. You have to move the ball more as it’s the only way, to pass the ball, we did it really well," he said. OLD SWAGGER With City zipping the ball around, with their old swagger back, some of the players who had been questioned in recent weeks showed their value. Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus, deputising for the injured Sergio Aguero, scored twice and looked sharp throughout, while Spanish midfielder Rodri showed his pedigree, with a thundering strike for the third goal capping a fine all-round display.

FULL STORY 13:30 - Dyche hopeful on Taylor Burnley's injury problems mounted on Monday as defender Charlie Taylor could be ruled out of the Premier League match against champions Manchester City on Tuesday with a hamstring strain, although manager Sean Dyche is hopeful it is not too serious.
Meanwhile, visitors Bromley are also part of the promotion mix, coming into Saturday's game just 5 points behind Barrow in 4th place.

While many of the instances have been anecdotal, I have seen it for myself this weekend. Please stop it. I urge everyone involved in the game to do what we can to safeguard public health as best we can. The message from the First Minister (Nicola Sturgeon), which was reiterated today, could not be clearer when she said 'the advice that is being given to people is not to be seen as optional'.

Chris Hughton and Paul Clement are thought to be the two men in the frame for the Vicarage Road hotseat, while Alan Curbishley is still available.

Bielsa has them punching well above their weight yet some fans have jumped on the #BielsaOut bandwagon. That is their wont, but what do these characters expect? Bielsa has set unrealistic expectations and hunger for immediate success has blinded some fans to that. Basically, fans want this guy gone for being too successful.
The England international has fallen down the pecking order under Solskjaer and the club don't seem actively interested in extending his current deal, which expires in 2021. Lingard is said to view himself as "one of the best number 10s operating in European football". The 27-year-old has employed the infamous Mino Raiola as his new agent, meaning he will be confident in securing a transfers at the end of the season.
Ross County will host Kilmarnock after picking up an important win that will serve them well for their relegation battle. We're going to back both teams to score for this game, as Ross County has seen that happen in their last three home ties whilst it's also happened in two of Kilmarnock's previous four away days. A 1-1 draw also seems like a good shout, as the hosts have done relatively well on home turf this season although not so well in defence, letting in an average of 2.38 goals but also managing to score 1.5 times. In stark contrast, Killie has conceded far less- 1.88 goals- but has also scored half of the amount their upcoming opponents have.
Despite racing into a 2-0 lead in their second group game against Czech Republic, things did not go to plan for Dick Advocaat's side as their opponents launched an astonishing comeback which was capped by Vladimir Smicer's 88th-minute winner. What a classic. Both the Netherlands and the Czech Republic went on to make the semi-finals. Neither side made it to the final as Greece ruled in Portugal.

We got told, 'Stay at home and play the Carabao (League) Cup'. That's a massive difference. We cannot change that.

Leeds United have won the title and will be playing in the Premier League next season. Their manager doesn't look the kind of guy who will let his players take their feet off the pedal. That was shown when they went to Derby County on Sunday and won 3-1. Their home form is excellent and they have been very difficult to score against of late. Charlton are in relegation trouble and only a win will guarantee them safety. Anything less will have them depending on results elsewhere going their way. Go for a home win with Leeds ahead at both half and full time.
Moreirense are the underdogs for this encounter but the dodgy form of their hosts will encourage them to go for the win. Benfica struggled to defend crosses in both legs of their tie with Shakhtar, an approach which could serve the visitors well. We suggest placing a bet on Moreirense to win with a plus-two headstart.

The Argentine took over a declining Atletico side in 2012 and turned them into one of the top sides in Europe, his success underpinned by superb fitness levels, allowing his team to relentlessly press opponents and survive bruising encounters.

Host is again the Champion and they are secure at the leader place with big advantage to the first rival in the competition.

Thanks to Tuttosport for the Golden Boy Award 2019, I am very proud," Felix said in a statement.

The hosts should be able to break through any resistance from Preston. Leeds' Patrick Bamford has netted six goals in his last eight league games, after failing to score in each of his previous 10 in the competition. We see them making the breakthrough, while they should hold out against the goal-shy visitors. With Leeds winning to nil in 55% of their home games, we’re backing them to do it again.
Managua is at the top of the table with 30 points and has many opportunities to defend his championship. However, with the last two matches being held draw, the top position of teachers and teachers Emilio Aburto is wavering more or less and if the second team plays well, they will probably lose the top spot. Managua couldn't wait for the opponent to come, so their mission was to return to victory immediately in this round. Deportivo Ocotal is not a difficult challenge for the home team and it is very likely that Managua will not be very difficult to win. Deportivo Ocotal are ranked 9th in the rankings but they have been caught up by the 10th team in terms of scores. This team's recent form is very poor as they lost four and drew one in the last five rounds. If the results are not improved, it is very easy to fall to the bottom of the table.
Those are our two main competitions. Our hopes are after this year to qualify for the Concacaf Champions League and to continue to develop and push for an MLS championship, and hopefully in the first few years we can continually get better so that we can push to be more competitive in all those environments. What can realistically be expected this season?The pragmatism off the field Beckham and McDonough both allude to could be reflected on it, but that does not mean it will not manifest itself in attractive attacking football at some point.

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.
Preston are the form side and boast the best home record in the Championship. If they could learn how to get more wins away from home, they'd be in the top two. Swansea City also fit that bill and have just one win in their last seven away league matches. Preston had a bad patch towards the end of last year but have recovered well and can win this match.
