The great thing about it is it's the one sports team you'll never get in an argument with anyone about. That is, unless you get too deep into the fake backstories of the teams. People fell in love with a fake soccer club to the point where they were writing their own history, saying things like, 'Hey, my grandpa was there for the championship in 1962 when we won the cup in stoppage time,'" said Andy Munoz, a Utah native who launched Saltair FC this year and has seen the local community latch on to the idea.
The visitors head back from their clash with Istanbul Basaksehir on the back of another win, but they’re now going to have to quickly readjust ahead of a crucial trip. Roma head here in fifth place, but they can move into the top four with three points. Will the Giallorossi be able to break down Verona and take that chance?
Aston Villa, Watford and Bournemouth were separated by just three points and with almost identical goal differences as they scrambled to avoid joining Norwich City in next season's Championship. It was Villa who had their fate in their own hands, with a 1-0 win over Arsenal on Tuesday taking them out of the bottom three on goal difference from Watford, with Bournemouth three points behind them. The Cherries began the day favourites for the drop but goals from Joshua King, Dominic Solanke and Junior Stanislas gave them hope at Goodison Park.
Manchester United attacking midfielder Angel Gomes is likely to leave the club when his contract expires in 30 June, says manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Talks over a new deal have been taking place and Solskjaer said last week he was optimistic terms would be agreed. However, there has been no progress with Gomes, 19, over the weekend. I have not heard anything last night or this morning," said Solskjaer on Monday.
He also criticised the lunchtime kickoff for Saturday's derby, especially considering his side played on Sunday afternoon and then again on Wednesday in the Champions League. SHORT SUPPLY "The Chelsea players were watching this game on TV, with nice sparkling water, with lemons and biscuits enjoying the game, and we play Saturday at 12 o'clock," Mourinho said when interviewed by BT Sports in the aftermath of the defeat by Leipzig.

Albacete will host Mirandes for this fixture of the league. Hosts probably are favorites in this game. Albacete have a better position in the table. Also, Albacete have advantage at home stadium.

Despite what the club would've hoped, the departure of Graham Coughlan has had a negative impact. Rovers are without a League 1 win since Coughlan left. They've taken just one point from a possible six, while their first game under new boss Ben Garner, who became a manager for the first time when taking the job, didn't go to plan. Garner is a coach known for playing possession football with youth teams, so it's reasonable to assume that in time Rovers will become a more ball-playing outfit, though positive changes may not occur overnight, especially if their Boxing Day game is anything to go by.
Jones has been making clear to Klopp that he feels ready for the first team and admitted he had found it hard to feature only infrequently for the Premier League leaders and European champions. It’s been frustrating at times being on the bench and then getting a taste on the pitch and then being back on the bench," he said.
Man City striker Sergio Aguero is the outright leading goalscorer of all Premier League players this season, netting 23 times across all competitions so far in 2019-20. Garry Monk has now lost five of his six English domestic cup matches as a manager against sides from a higher division across spells with Leeds, Middlesbrough, Birmingham and current club Sheffield Wednesday - with the other match a 1-0 win at Brighton in round three this season.
It's fair to say San Lorenzo's decision to bring back Juan Antonio Pizzi as manager failed, but El Ciclon are showing signs of improvement under new boss Diego Monarriz. Indeed, under the former, the team managed to go on a run of 5 defeats from 6 games but have really woken up in recent weeks since he departed.
We urgently seek constructive dialogue with the FA with the aim to have the decision reconsidered. BBC Sport has seen communication between clubs and their local MPs demonstrating that they have written, or will be writing, to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on this issue. The letter says that if there is no consensus reached with the clubs, they will "embark on potential legal recourse".

It was Vardy's 22nd league goal of the season and restored his two-goal advantage over Aubameyang at the top of the Premier League scoring charts.

The journeys take 40 minutes, I'm just getting all this attention for who I am and what I represent. I try to do things in a simple way and the criticism is not serious, but people are allowed to think what they want," he said. I'm staying in Madrid to watch the Davis Cup semi-finals. What you do off the pitch is your business, my only job is to play well and do as well as possible.

It puts the players on edge. They think if he can treat Christophe Berra like that, I could be next. They could be. Some of them deserve to be. What does Daly find so difficult to understand here? The team, as constructed by Craig Levein and as coached by Levein, Austin MacPhee and Daly, is tanking. It needs shaking up. Daly was "concerned" about Stendel's decision to let Aidan Keena go on loan to Hartlepool United: "And yet you are trying to bring a guy in who has scored four goals in the fourth tier in Germany.
I feel good. I turn up for the games expecting to play, even when I am not on the sheet, because it is a positive mental attitude. It is something I have worked on for years. I want to pass it on. If I meet a bunch of under-12s, I would be asking me about when I saved a Messi penalty or what it's like playing for England. All they care about now is how do you deal with a mistake? How do deal with someone taunting you from behind the goal?That is not what your mindset should be as a kid.
It's a disaster from a Chelsea perspective. Emerson lost Aubameyang - he was caught sleeping. The Blues haven't earned a single point from a losing position this season. Controversial! Jorginho already on a yellow, fouls Guendouzi, but the card is shown to Lacazette who wanted the Chelsea midfielder booked.
It's just about trying to get that consistency in our play. West Bromwich Albion head coach Slaven Bilic:"It was a good performance from us. This is a difficult league and you have to be strong technically and tactically and you have to manage your way through games. We went behind in an unfortunate way, but we didn't panic and we kept calm and composed and equalised soon after. We never lost belief in our quality.
That means unlike in the other semi-final, both teams have a good chance of reaching Wembley. Leicester City had to come from behind to get that first leg draw but were going through a bit of a dodgy patch at the time. Their form has improved since then though with wins over West Ham and Brentford in the past week.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0Charlie: 2-1 Wolves v Norwich (14:00 GMT)Norwich ended up losing to Liverpool last weekend but they gave it a good go, and I thought they did all right considering it was top of the table against bottom. Media playback is not supported on this device Norwich City 0-1 Liverpool: Daniel Farke disappointed not to take point against Liverpool The Canaries are seven points off safety now, and their chances of survival are obviously not looking too good.
Both teams did finished their European competition for this year, and they should get back in the fight for the title in Holland league. They are on three points difference, and should be only two teams that are able to decide, regarding Championship in this season.

The excellent start to the season that Western Sydney saw is a distant memory with three losses in a row leaving them eight points behind league leaders, and bitter rivals, Sydney FC. They’ve looked a little lost and seem to lack a cutting edge in the final third, scoring just three times in their last four games.
The in-form Portuguese forward, who scored a hat-trick in Wolves's 4-0 win over Espanyol in the Europa League on Thursday, put his side ahead, in the 19th minute, with a left-foot finish after good work from Matt Doherty.

Hawley's favourite current Owls player is Barry Bannan, and he explained: "We all love Atdhe Nuhiu - who we know as 'Big Dave' here - because we all love a trier. But Barry has been my favourite footballer for many, many years. He is one of those players who when he is on the pitch he seems to be involved in everything, He is like a really pivotal player in the team and I really enjoy watching him.
Wellington Phoenix lost their first two home games of the season but have picked up wins against Western Sydney Wanderers and Brisbane Roar as well as an impressive point against Sydney FC since then.
Leipzig is in superb form at this moment at least they were so before the international break scoring no less than 20 goals in their last 4 games played even though 3 of them were on the road and at home they demolished Mainz who I even rate better than Koln is at this moment with no less than 8-0 that game they won and Koln is quite weak in defense and for sure can not match the pace of the Leipzig strikers so will back a big home win from the hosts to be happening here in this one at decent odds.
Our answer would be give the tests to those people. The doctor. Francisco Moya is a consultant in emergency, sport and exercise medicine at Vithas Xanit International Hospital in Malaga. He says footballers would need “at least one month between returning to training and playing” if they have gone six weeks or longer without full training. Even if players are doing daily training sessions, you can’t recreate football at home,” he said.
Bonetti was part of an emerging, gifted Chelsea side under Tommy Docherty that epitomised London's 'Swinging 60s' alongside greats such as Bobby Tambling, Peter Osgood, Harris, Terry Venables and Barry Bridges. Chelsea won their first knockout trophy in 1965 with a two-legged 3-2 win over Leicester City - who had England keeper Gordon Banks in goal - in the League Cup. Bonetti's second-leg heroics in a 0-0 draw at Filbert Street proving pivotal.
Daegu, ninth, are still without a win after three games while Sangju are fourth after back-to-back victories. Daegu finished stronger than Sangju last season - playing out the season in Final A while their counterparts played Final B - but things haven't clicked for them in 2020. The reason for this poor start to the season appears to be the departure of Brazilian coach Andre.
So, it's not a definite 'I'm going to stay there forever' but it's not a no either. The closest Kane has come to winning a trophy was in the League Cup final in 2015 and the Champions League final last season, with Spurs losing to Chelsea and Liverpool, respectively. We've been saying that (Spurs can win trophies with this team) for a couple of years now," he added.

World's most expensive player Bale signs for Real Madrid, 1 September, 2013Spurs' failure to reach the Champions League and Bale's brilliance the previous season meant it was time for the Welshman to leave White Hart Lane and despite the largest offer for his services coming from Manchester United, Bale dreamed only of a move to the Bernabeu. That childhood dream of being a galactico became a reality when Spurs chairman Daniel Levy agreed to sell the player to Real Madrid for a then world-record fee of £85m.
