The 34-year-old midfielder, the standout player at the summer tournament, succeeded Norway's Ada Hegerberg who did not take part in the World Cup. Rapinoe was not present at the ceremony in the Theatre du Chatelet, where the show 'An American In Paris' is on. I'm so sad I can't make it tonight. It's absolutely incredible congrats to the other nominees.
After Carlton Cole scored for the Hammers, having turned Andy Griffin inside out, Ricardo Fuller was about to get the game restarted but suddenly decided that moment - in front of thousands of fans - was the right moment to wander off and have a pop at his captain. Fuller walked over to Griffin, lambasting him for losing his man, and then fired off a quick slap before his team-mates could intervene and prevent it from escalating.

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Southampton team remain in the relegation zone and now face a crucial trip to fellow strugglers Aston Villa, who are directly above them in 17th place, on Saturday. TALKING POINT Should West Ham have had a penalty? We’ve seen the VAR technology give perplexing decisions on one foul in a penalty area this season, but to do it on two in the same passage of play was something new.

Aye, that was the killer," agrees fellow forward Paul Sturrock. So the mood was low, but hopes were still high of European redemption in front of 21,000 at Tannadice. United's plan was to score first and seize control, but Lennart Nilsson bounded a drive past Thomson midway through the first half to give the Swedes an away goal. Ferguson would hit the bar before John Clark scored a splendid leveller on the hour, but it was not enough as Gothenburg held on.
Of course, the Italian champions still have an obvious leading man who tends to hurt Atletico. Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 25 goals versus Atlético Madrid in all competitions – only versus Sevilla (27) has he netted more. The Portuguese forward has bagged four hat-tricks against Atlético, with two of those arriving in the Champions League (March 2019 & May 2017).
The 10 group winners will qualify directly for the World Cup while the runners-up will go into the playoffs along with two more teams from the 2020-21 Nations League. Those 12 teams will then be divided into three paths, with a one-leg semi-final and a one-leg final in each path to decide the remaining three European finalists.
Mason Greenwood is only the second teenager to score in three consecutive Premier League appearances for Manchester United (18y 282d), following on from Wayne Rooney back in February 2005 (19y 125d). Greenwood is the fourth player aged 18 or younger to score in three consecutive Premier League appearances, after Danny Cadamarteri (1997), Michael Owen (1997 & 1998) and Francis Jeffers (1999). Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have won 13 penalties in the Premier League this season; no team have ever won more in a single campaign in the competition (also Leicester in 2015-16 and Crystal Palace in 2004-05).

Paper Round’s view: Red Bull’s control over both sides means that Salzburg can be used as a testing ground for Leipzig, and allows them the chance to give younger players a chance before bringing them in for a cut-price fee. However, Haaland will be able to exercise some control over his future and presumably could in fact refuse to join any club but the one he ultimately elects to choose, assuming a transfer fee is agreed.
Another very interesting match on who I will bet tonight and that is this duel, from Costa Rica, second division, where I surely see plenty of goals, but we will see what will happen. So, Guanacasteca is team who is firstly played just brilliant in May this year, last official match against Uruguay De Coronado and beat this local rival as a guests, even 4-1. In match before that one, they are also beat this rival, but this time at home 2-1. I think that this match can surely be similar like this last one was, so I will try with over.

The Foxes have kept only one clean sheet in their last 10 Premier League matches, in a 3-0 win at Newcastle on New Year's Day. They have scored 18 times in all competitions since their most recent goal by Jamie Vardy in a 3-1 Premier League defeat at Manchester City on 21 December. Vardy's next Premier League appearance will be his 200th. James Maddison is one of just three players along with Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish to have had 50 or more shots and created 50 or more chances for his team-mates in the Premier League this season.
In recent matches, the hosts have scraped something very important. The Brighton has not compromised in the past two months - no ones draw, only three points or nothing. This allowed the team to rise to a relatively safe 10th place and look for their chance with the teams in the neighborhood. “Leicester” last season would be very afraid of such a trip, but now the “foxes” have a chic stretch. Schmeichel pulled out the national team for Euro 2020 and will arrive at the club in an excellent mood, and Vardi again woke up a bombardment hunger. Leicester have scored even more Liverpool this season (29 goals)! Considering the fact that Brighton misses in almost every game, but at home, the opponent’s goal is hit, I recommend betting more on the total.
Birmingham have lost over half of their matches on the road this season. They have struggled defensively on the road, conceding 1.7 goals per game away from home. The Blues head into Saturday’s clash having lost their last two in the Championship, which has left them rooted in the bottom half of the table.
Uefa wants all European leagues to end their summer transfer windows on 5 October. Windows are currently open on different dates in different countries. European football's governing body has asked its member associations to adopt the "harmonised" date, with a player registration deadline on 6 October. Uefa's executive committee also announced emergency measures to provide clubs with financial flexibility because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The squad at the Wanda Metropolitano no longer looks to be one in the image of the irritable, restless man in the dugout. While Simeone must have seen something of himself in the likes of Diego Godin and Juanfran, the same can’t be said of current players like Felix and Thomas Lemar. Atletico Madrid have spent over £450 million on transfers over the past three years.
It is with great sadness that Olympique de Marseille learned of the death of Pape Diouf," the club said on their official Twitter account.

The 115-87 win took their season record to 10-15 but they will do well to make it 11-15 as they travel to the Denver Nuggets who lead the Northwest Division. Portland still have a chance of making postseason and are 11th overall in this conference, a win behind the Phoenix Suns. The win over the Knicks ended a run of two defeats.
It's incredible to have a Japanese player play for them," said one fan. Here in Japan, we're far from Europe. For Japanese players to go there and make a step up and make an impact, like Minamino has done at Red Bull Salzburg, I really admire and respect him," added another supporter. The third Japanese player to lift the Premier League trophy?Despite Japan being one of Asia's top footballing nations, Minamino will be just the ninth player from the country to appear in the Premier League with few making a tangible impact.
We feel that Bayern are likely to extend their current win-streak versus Leverkusen this weekend. Bayern have been typically tough to beat at the Allianz Arena this season. They have lost just one of their six Bundesliga home games, winning four.
Both sides had winning outings in their last matches in their respective leagues, LASK beating St. Polten 4-1 as AZ saw off PEC Zwolle 2-0 and will thus go to this clash on a high. For LASK, this weekend win marked their seventh straight unbeaten match and they have scored two or more goals in six of those.
Just two minutes after the restart, the 37-year-old flicked a pass from Ojo into the path of the on-rushing Arfield, who toe-poked the ball home to double Rangers' lead. Defoe had his 17th goal and his first assist of the season but, 12 minutes later, the Rangers forward pulled up after chasing a through ball, forcing Gerrard to bring on Aribo in his place.

As recently as 12 July, they were seven points adrift of 17th place, but their first four-game unbeaten run of the season saw them to safety, with Sunday's draw at West Ham one of eight points they earned in that time. Villa were committed to a full review of their transfer policy after spending £118m on new players last summer, many of whom failed to meet expectations. Villa subsequently brought in goalkeeper Pepe Reina, midfielder Danny Drinkwater and striker Mbwana Samatta in January.

Oxford gave themselves hope with seven minutes left when Liam Kelly's 20-yard free-kick eluded the grasp of Newcastle keeper Karl Darlow before Nathan Holland's crisp volley deep into stoppage time set up the extra 30 minutes and the prospect of a shock. The unpredictable Saint-Maximin was the difference and a huge threat in extra time, finally winning it for Newcastle and setting up a fifth-round tie at West Bromwich Albion with a magnificent finish that ripped beyond Simon Eastwood into the top corner after 116 minutes.
In England, Aston Villa and Chelsea are expected to meet in a Premier League match which will be held at Villa Park, Birmingham city. In the table, Chelsea takes position 4 with 48 points after playing 29 matches while Aston Villa takes position 19 with 26 points after playing 29 matches.
It was only a second league defeat this season since Antonio Conte took over at Inter - who ended with five 2019-20 signings from the Premier League on the pitch. Things were looking bright when veteran English wing-back Young scored after Thomas Strakosha parried Antonio Candreva's shot. But Immobile levelled with his 26th Serie A goal of the season and Milinkovic-Savic, who earlier hit the bar from 30 yards, settled the game.
Southend either play in very high scoring matches or very low scoring matches and this could be a low scoring one. They have seen a couple of recent matches where only 1 goal was scored, because of their high scoring matches they tend to defend well after a high scoring match. This could mean only the one goal will be scored in this match by the home team due the Southend team not scoring much recently and really having trouble getting the ball into the box at times. It looks good with the odds for this to be another low scoring one
Arsenal has fail to win in last three rounds, but in last two rounds they played a draw, at away against Everton and Bournemouth. Today they will play in front of domestic fans, against very strong opponent, Chelsea. Visitors are surprisedly defeated in last round at home ground against Southampton, despite the fact that they controlled ball possession most of the time. Chelsea play well at away, so far they won six matches, with three defeats, and no draw. Arsenal experiencing a lot of problems in current season, together with Wolves, they played the most draw matches in this season, and it seems that this match can also to end without winner.
