While he acknowledged that fans would travel more and therefore have a greater carbon footprint, he noted that several teams would keep the same base for the whole group stage. The idea was to celebrate the 60 years of the European championship and to bring Euro to places who could not host Euro in isolation and to avoid having to build white elephants as had happened in Brazil (after the 2014 World Cup) for example," Epstein explained.
Football has the capacity to respond to this problem, professional football can and must behave differently," it said. Fortunately, there are many clubs that in the same circumstances have adopted a different, shared and fair attitude. This is recognised by the players who offer their willingness to overcome this crisis.
Barca have fallen three points behind Real Madrid in the title race after a defeat to Valencia and captain Lionel Messi appears to be at loggerheads with sporting director Eric Abidal.

IN OTHER NEWS Pfft. Quitters. Get the forks out, lads, give it a poke. It’ll be alright. RETRO CORNER Generally speaking, the Warm-Up likes to tie this bit into the main events of the day. Which is why we went searching for videos of Zinedine Zidane. And we found loads, and they were great … but halfway through one of them we found an assist from Guti that was so spittle-sprayingly ridiculous that we just ended up watching Guti assist videos instead.
Mainz lost 3 of the last 4 Bundesliga matches before the winter break and are the only team in the league without a draw so far this season. At home Mainz only has a 3-0-5 record so far this season but against Freiburg they have an excellent record at home with the last defeat back in 2009.
After their excellent effort at Ashton Gate, where they matched a team from the level above stride for stride, the Shrews deserve more respect ahead of a home match. If anything, as they hit the post late on, Shrewsbury were ever so slightly unlucky not to avoid the replay, so it's not difficult to see them doing the business at New Meadow. At the prices, 'Shrewsbury Draw No Bet' stands out as the best option. The hosts are very tough to beat at home, while they have a promising home record in this competition. In contrast, Bristol City underwhelmed in the original tie and haven't exactly covered themselves in glory on the road of late either.

The PSG win has really flattered Dijon for a number of reasons.

The Premier League champions have not indicated if they will ask for such measures and CEO Ferran Soriano said in a statement on Wednesday that he hoped for a swift end to the case. We are looking for an early resolution obviously through a thorough process and a fair process so my best hope is that this will be finished before the beginning of the summer and until then for us, it is business as usual," he said If City do not ask for provisional measures then they risk having the ban kick in during the appeal process, after the draw for next season's Champions League has taken place.
As the League 1 team, Bristol Rovers will have been disappointed with their efforts when this pair met two weeks ago. They were at home, but failed to dominate the game, while they went a goal up with 15 minutes to go but failed to come out on top. All round a pretty disappointing day.

Welcome back Steve, have a 2-0 defeat Steve Bruce’s time at Aston Villa wasn’t the happiest, for various reasons, and he’ll be even more sick of the sight of the place after his Newcastle team were beaten there on Monday night.

Would prefer to take the -1.5 AH on the guests here but I simply do not have this option at Bet365 at least for the moment so will keep things simple and take the simple away win in this one and for good reasons with the hosts having lost 4 of their 5 games this season and in their last 3 league games they failed to even score losing with 2-0 at Brest 2 who is 1-0-4 this season, so nothing to be proud about that loss, lost 3-0 at Isloch Minsk 2 last round and also 2-0 at home to Rukh Brest 2 as well.
Slightly different organisation, things we need to get used to, all that stuff. It’s Mexican style, if you want – full of passion, how you would imagine. We are looking forward to it. It’s absolutely interesting; it’s my first game against a Central American team I think, in a proper competition. Let’s try to make the best of it.

They had not even fully unpacked. I did not go into the bedroom ever. I slept on the couch and I drank vodka," she says.
