At the time, I just wanted to be in there with my team-mates, we were going through a tough period," Keane said. I didn't want to be seen to be throwing the towel in even though I had a valid injury, I just wanted to get out there, give it my best and try to turn things around; in hindsight it wasn't probably the best thing to do. I think the main thing is learning from it and after that learning about my own mental health and how I can deal with that going forward.
And today at Talin we have the big local derby between possibly the best teams at Estonia. But for me there is only one winner. Flora are a great team. They have very good squad who now is having great chemistry between the players which you can see from a plane. They are playing great so far. Deadly at the attack while great at the defense.Levadia on the other hand are in good shape too but lately they are doing just too many mistakes. I mean at the previous round they drawed with scoring at the 92nd minute while their market was 1.18 which just speaks for itself.
Bruce was then short odds to become the first Premier League manager to lose his job, but he remains and enhanced his reputation on Tyneside while Emery has gone. So did we underestimate Bruce? And how far could he take the club?How does he compare to Benitez so far? Steve Bruce has promoted homegrown midfielder Matty Longstaff (left) into the team, playing him alongside older brother Sean (right)For some Newcastle supporters, Bruce succeeding Benitez seemed like just another insult during a disappointing summer in which their hopes of hanging on to the Spaniard and talks of a takeover from the Middle East vanished in a matter of weeks.
Some of them even achieve it, some of the time. But it’s such a weird season that Arsenal, this rolling circus of calamity who are on their third manager of the season, are still very much within a shout of making the Champions League places. Sure, they’re ten points behind fourth place right now, but happily enough for them that fourth place team is Chelsea, their opponents tonight.
When sportsmen have to decide to be part of a competition, it's not right. The Reds won the Champions League in June to qualify for the tournament, held at Khalifa International Stadium, which will also host matches at the 2022 World Cup. According to a report by the International Trades Union Confederation in 2013, more than 1,200 workers from Nepal and India had died on construction projects in Qatar linked to the World Cup, including non-football infrastructure schemes, in the previous three years.
Porto will host Sporting Braga for this fixture of the league. I believe, the hosts are favorites in this game. Porto are more ambitious team in this league. Of course, the hosts will try to make a positive result. Porto are in solid shape. They have three consecutive victories. Also, we have Braga who's is very average team in this season. Braga have big fluctuations. True, they have better results in the last matches. They have two consecutive victories. No doubt, the visitors have a very difficult task. Nevertheless, they will try to provide a strong resistance. My pick - draw.
Vitesse have kept clean sheets in just 14% of their home games and Feyenoord have kept clean sheets in a more respectable 29% of their away games, but both of those stats suggest that each defence is likely to get breached on Sunday. Vitesse have only failed to score in 14% of their home games and the same can be said about Feyenoord’s away games.

We are going to transfer to the Fazendao Covid-19 patients that do not need complex treatments," said Bahia state governor Rui Costa. Curitiba club Athletico offered their stadium and training ground, where world champions Spain trained during the 2014 World Cup, to authorities "for whatever use they deem necessary".
Five Serie A matches will be played behind closed doors this weekend - including Juventus' match at home to Inter Milan - because of coronavirus. Matches at Udinese, AC Milan, Parma and Sassuolo will take place without fans. Games at Lazio, Napoli, Lecce and Cagliari will go ahead with supporters as normal, but Sampdoria's match on Monday is yet to be decided upon. Italy has put towns in northern Italy into lockdown after 229 people tested positive and seven died.
Plus, he's the second highest scoring player in the game. Did we mention that already?It's… Jamie Vardy Vardy and Maddison - two fantasy football heroesLeicester's Jamie Vardy has scored in his last four Premier League games, netting six goals in total. He last scored in more consecutive Premier League games during his record run of 11 in August-November 2015. He couldn't, could he?One thing is for sure, you don't want to have ignored him or shipped him out if he does.
Hoffenheim are set to host Fortuna Dusseldorf in this Saturday's German Bundesliga action in the Rhein-Neckar-Arena. The Rhein-Neckar-Arena saw Hoffenheim suffer a disappointing 5-1 loss at the hands of Mainz last weekend. They will hope to make last weekend's loss a distant memory as they take on Fortuna.
One more friendly match for today and one more match where I believe that we will see plenty of goals, what is for me very real and ok to try. So, let's start from Slavoj and that is team who is have big problems with defense, and in the same time, they are have pretty good attack. They are team who is in the middle of the table, all the time and they can beat any rival in that league. Pisek is similar team who is also very efficient and I believe that this will be just efficient duel. I will try.
It was four years ago, but even so this is not a great look for him. I would not take the [Tottenham] job because I love Chelsea supporters too much. Now we all know Mourinho likes to talk and after nearly a year on the sidelines, some of his comments about Tottenham from the comfort of a pundit's chair are coming home to roost.
From manager to hotelier - Venables was England boss from 1994 to 1996 but now owns a hotel on the edge of the Font Roja National Park in SpainI went over to Spain to speak to him for the documentary - he and his wife run a little boutique hotel near Alicante so he spends half the year over there. It was great to catch up. He looks back at Euro 96 as the best time of his managerial career - which says a lot when you consider his time at Barcelona and everything he achieved.
Bohemians won all 3 games played by them lately in the league as they first smashed Teplice with 4-0 at home and it is not that easy to do so as even Sparta Prague played Teplice at home a couple of days ago and only won 3-0 the game, but Bohemians won 4-0, and they also had the lead at home 3-0 against Ceske Budejovice which is quite a solid side, but on the bad note in that game while being 3-0 ahead they also had a man plus on the pitch and conceded 2 goals from 10 men Ceske, so really not that great defending and should be goals from Sparta here.
Ianis Hagi replaces Ryan Jack. Storms and flooding have played havoc with the sporting schedule throughout February, with another four English Football League games lost to the weather on the very final day of the month too. But, despite that, there was still plenty of action for fans to get their teeth stuck into on Saturday, with 11 fixtures in the Championship and a further 17 across League One and League Two.

Smaller squads, lower wages and shorter deals, plus more free agents on the market than ever before - has there been a worse time to be an out-of-contract footballer?While the Premier League and Championship resume behind closed doors this week as coronavirus restrictions ease, hundreds of professional players from outside the top two tiers will be released at the end of June, not knowing when they will kick a ball again, or for whom.
Liverpool have conceded two or more goals in three of their last 15 matches. They are unbeaten in 13 matches at home, 11 of them being wins and they have scored two or more goals in eight of the last 12 home matches. In the Premier League, Liverpool have 16 straight wins at home, and are unbeaten in 49 straight league matches at home.
Striker Raul Jimenez fired in a 73rd-minute winner as Wolves twice came back from a goal down to defeat Jose Mourinho's team and leapfrog them into sixth place in the standings with 42 points from 28 games. The win capped off a fine week for Santo's side, who reached the Europa League last 16 with a 6-3 aggregate win over Spain's Espanyol despite a 3-2 second-leg defeat last Thursday.
Is that fair? It depends on the environment and on the players. Except at the beginning of his career, Ancelotti has always coached top-level teams with a big owners behind them. The latest adventure in Naples, like the one in Munich, ended with bad feelings with the management and with the players, but not for footballing reasons, so they were not failures.
Minsk is not such a big favorite here for the win, as it is showed by the prices on their victory. Although Rukh is new in the competition, they showed big power and certain quality in the begin. Beating some rivals with the high scores, they are among the top teams at the moment, and will wait for Minsk in this one, in order to make another well performance.
It now appears, however, that Ancelotti's patience is at an end. Everton owner Farhad Moshiri spent big money luring one of the most decorated managers in the game's history on a contract worth a reported £9m-a-year - now Ancelotti will expect his judgement to be backed over the next transfer windows. He is working with a virtually non-existent midfield and the increasingly erratic performances of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford will worry not only Ancelotti but England manager Gareth Southgate.
Odds have gone down quite a lot on the home win and the handicap bets on the hosts in this one and for good reasons as the hosts are league leaders with 30 points 3 more points than 2nd placed Esteli at this moment while Ocotal is really playing like the worst club in the league right now, their last two away games they lost with 2-0 in the end, scored just 2 goals in 6 away games this season while conceding 13 goals total as they even lost with 5-0 away from home at Esteli early on.
Read the full story 12:15 - Hearn hopes to stage World Championship behind closed doors If you missed this late on Sunday, snooker may well be ploughing ahead later this summer. Barry Hearn has revealed he is hoping to stage the rescheduled World Championship behind closed doors with a July 25 start date.
The team selection, the team motivation, the substitutions, the performance, everything was missing here. It was a dreadful performance," Keown told BT Sport. I think maybe the manager may be in a position where he feels he needs to step aside now. Serious questions need to be asked. This is as bad as I have seen it and it is relegation form [when they return to Premier League action]. Decisions need to be made, otherwise the club is going to plunge further down the table.

He's had a scan today. We hope it's not a ligament issue. We hope it's a kick but. Gary Cahill," Hodgson told a news conference.

A 6,000-mile journey was worth it for JS Saint-Pierroise, an amateur side who play on the island of Reunion, as they shocked French second-division side Niort to reach the last 32 of the French Cup. No team from Reunion - which is an island between Madagascar and Mauritius off the east coast of Africa - had reached the knockout stage of the cup before. Nearly 100 fans had travelled to Niort, 120 miles north of Bordeaux, to follow their side and saw a huge upset thanks to goals from Gerard Hubert and Ryan Ponti.
The Saints are at least clicking up top, with two players in rich form. Southampton's last 10 Premier League goals have been scored by either Danny Ings (6) or James Ward-Prowse (4). The latter has three in his last four appearances, thanks to strong finishing from dead balls. Given that 33% of Norwich’s away goals conceded have come from set-pieces or penalties, we think Ward Prowse is a well priced anytime goalscorer option.
Mueller thought he had scored in the 12th minute but it was ruled offside, a decision confirmed by VAR. Lewandowski also had the ball in the net but it was disallowed following a VAR review for offside in the buildup -- forcing the stadium announcer to stop his goal celebration routine halfway through.
Even if we suspect that the coronavirus cannot, in fact, be kicked into submission. Even by a lion. RETRO CORNER On this day in 1924, Joe Gaetjens was born in Haiti. USA, he scored the only goal in one of the World Cup’s greatest shocks, as America’s amateurs toppled the mighty England 1-0 at the 1950 World Cup.
He wasn't seeded first for this tournament though, that was Daniil Medvedev who lost in the quarter finals. Tsitsipas has made it all the way to this final against Felix Auger-Aliassime without dropping a single set. He has had wins over Mkiael Ymer, recent finalist Vasek Pospisil and in the semi-final, Alexander Bulbik.
It was also needed because the pages would fill up so quickly with stamps from the different countries visited. In my early days at BBC Radio 5 Live, I hadn't yet earned my stripes to cover the big Champions League games, so I was often dispatched to follow English clubs in the early rounds of the old Uefa Cup. That would bring you to some very unusual places.

The hosts have a good recent record against their guests, winning four of the pairs last six competitive meetings, and head into Sunday’s clash unbeaten in their last eighteen matches. Both teams have scored and over 2.5 goals have been produced in four of the last six encounters between these two clubs and we’re expecting another action-packed ninety minutes when the pair meet this weekend.
Liverpool could yet finish the campaign with six. At the start of the season, they were in contention for seven - but the first one got away in August as they lost to Manchester City on penalties in the Community Shield. They then beat Chelsea on penalties to win the Uefa Super Cup, and head to the Club World Cup sitting 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League. In addition, they still have the Champions League and the FA Cup to go for, as well as the Carabao Cup - if the players left at home can see off Aston Villa in Tuesday's quarter-final.
