According to the Telegraph, the bid has been "complicated" as the FIFA officials are ready to "shake up football’s competition structures" in order to grow the game on a global scale. The 2030 World Cup tournament would be the 100-year anniversary of the first-ever World Cup, which was hosted (and won) by Uruguay.
So will Tottenham. After what happened to them against Sheffield United on Thursday, I would expect a reaction from Jose Mourinho's side. It will be a good battle, but I'm going for a Spurs win. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Simon's prediction: I still have a soft spot for Mourinho but he has lost that air of invincibility and I don't know if losing that magic means he has also lost the power he used to have over his players.

Odds are excellent to be taking the over 2.5 goals bet here in this encounter this although I am indeed tempted to be taking the over 3.5 goals or over 3 goals bet at the same time at odds of above 3.00 right now because the hosts from Slutsk played 5 league games in a row with over 2.5 goals being scored in the, last home game they allowed two penalty kicks to Energetik by the 30 minute of the game and the score was 2-1 for Energetik by half-time and the over 2.5 goals completed quite easy.
Saturday's defeat at Watford means people will stop asking him about whether the Reds can go the entire league season without losing, when my impression was he was getting annoyed by that. He is only bothered abut winning the title - and anything after that is a bonus. Media playback is not supported on this device Watford 3-0 Liverpool: Defeat feels 'exceptionally average' - Klopp Now they can get on with the rest of their season, starting with this tie.
Benzema works harder than he is given credit for, on and off the pitch. You don't reach his levels of consistency without incredible fitness and without living your life right off the pitch. France exile now seems permanentDespite his record at club level putting him among Europe's elite, he remains conspicuous by his absence from the France squad. Benzema has netted more league goals than compatriots Antoine Griezmann and Alexandre Lacazette, as well as Olivier Giroud, who played all seven games at the 2018 World Cup but failed to score.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last four clashes with Toulouse, winning the most recent clash in January (2-1) and despite their awful performance on Tuesday, we're backing them to bounce back with a win here. Thierry Laurey's men have been incredible at home and should have enough to get past this truly woeful Toulouse side. However, we're backing the visitors to get on the scoresheet as Strasbourg were leaking for fun on Tuesday and have conceded goals in their last two home games. We're predicting it to end 2-1 to the hosts. Both teams have scored in each of the last four meetings between these teams, in six of Toulouse's eight games under Kombouaré and in both of Strasbourg's last two home games so we're backing this market here also.

I think there’s got to be a short-term goal for us just now to get the wins to get us away from the wrong end of the league and what we’re going to do over the next six months, then what we’re going to do over the next period as well. The start is really focusing on the immediate games. Moyes will start his second spell as Hammers boss against Bournemouth on New Year's Day (5.
Unfortunately for the hosts, their form over the festive period has allowed their title rivals to gain an advantage as they have managed just two wins from their last five outings and, although they still remain in third place in the league, they know that they need to improve if they are going to remain credible candidates for promotion come the end of the season. While they are scoring plenty, they have 15 goals from their last six outings, they have kept just one clean sheet over that same time frame so know they need to do more at that end of the pitch.
The FA has done extremely well as far as the targets are concerned," he said. As far as the coaches are concerned, the BAME coaches were over 20% so we've actually exceeded the 2021 target (20%). That's very encouraging. In terms of gender, we're over 35% across the whole of the workforce [2021 target is 36%]. There will be an England black manager'This week, England and Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling called for more BAME coaches and leaders in football.
Eriksen nearly scored late in the second half when his low delivery in the penalty area was missed by everyone and Mejias had to get down well to push the ball away one-handed. This was Tottenham's 31st match of the season and their 14th in a 53-day period since Mourinho's first game in charge on 23 November. He will be pleased with the win and that extra-time was not needed but will be frustrated with the late goal conceded, meaning they have only kept one clean sheet in his 14 games in charge.
Solskjaer said: "It’s very easy to compare the two of them, yes. Both with skills, body shape, attitude, attributes – everything. The boy has every chance in the world to become a top, top player.

Arsenal statement hints at fans at rescheduled games Arsenal have released a statement about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the suspension of the Premier League, hinting that fans could be allowed at the season's remaining matches.
Adam Armstrong halved the deficit soon after half-time with a wonderful free-kick of his own, but Klich quickly restored the two-goal advantage with a shot that Rovers keeper Christian Walton probably should have done better with. Relive Saturday's EFL actionLeeds, who remain six points clear of third-placed Brentford, had been frustrated in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with struggling Luton Town but took an early lead through Bamford's 15th of the season.
The video assistant referee "didn't get it right" in Chelsea's 2-0 home loss against Manchester United and it was "soul destroying" for the fans, says Blues boss Frank Lampard. VAR official Chris Kavanagh did not feel Harry Maguire deserved a red card for appearing to kick Michy Batshuayi. Kavanagh also ruled out two Chelsea goals - one for a push in the box and the other for offside. Hundreds of Chelsea fans left Stamford Bridge with more than 10 minutes left.
Werner also had a great chance in the first half, when Angelino squeezed a ball through to him in the left hand side of the penalty area, but he poked the ball straight at Lloris. The game completely turned in the last 20 minutes though with Tottenham forcing the visitors back and Giovanni Lo Celso was close to scoring with a superb curling free kick that Peter Gulasci pushed onto the post.
Legion was champion in the second league and they were promoted with confident performances and big point advantage. Team should be tough rival to the opponents in the top tier and squad did show good play in their Cup game. Also Legion were good in the first round in March and they should be able to resist big rival today.
Luckily enough, Favalli never felt as bad as some of the more worrying cases he has seen on TV and across the media. The fever never went beyond 37. C, I had it for three days and by the time I got a swab taken on Friday I was already feeling well," he said. I had a painful headache but that didn't last long either. I was never really scared for myself, I never felt that bad. I was more worried about some of my relatives, who were hit harder than me, maybe due to their different age and fitness level.
Oshmyany will host Slonim for this fixture of the league. I think, both sides have the motivation to get a positive result. However, both teams are in poor shape in the last matches. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. Oshmyany have advantage at home stadium. True, Oshmyany have better results in the last mutual matches - 2 losses in a row. In any case, the hosts will try to break the poor series. Slonim are more vulnerable in recent times. They have three consecutive losses. Also, I think, this is a very unpredictable league. My pick - Oshmyany to win.
He could give us the cover we will need next season, with Christian Fuchs set to leave and a possible Ben Chilwell departure too. Benkovic looks as if he might be leaving on loan once another defender is secured. And that would be a good move for the future, with Jonny Evans also the wrong side of 30. We still have a few of Claudio Ranieri's signings that could leave and Islam Slimani could do with being moved out permanently, not just on loan, as he has no future at the club.
The 29-year-old has been an important part of Pep Guardiola's side this term but will allow him to join the French club if the asking price is mett.

The Premier League, the most lucrative football league in the world, has been suspended for a month and the clubs have asked players and managers to take a 30% cut in wages. The players' union, the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), has yet to agree to a cut and argued after Friday's meeting ended without a resolution that smaller wages would reduce tax revenue for the National Health Service.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard says he does not know when Tammy Abraham will return to action after the striker met a specialist about his ankle injury. Abraham, 22, travelled to Barcelona for advice after pulling up during the warm-down following Tuesday's Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich. The forward initially suffered the injury against Arsenal on 22 January. I'm hoping it's not a long-term injury but I can't tell you if he'll be ready for Tuesday or Saturday," said Lampard.
Given the defensive performances of both, both Southend and MK Dons will surely view this game as a massive opportunity to score goals. Keeping this in mind, 'Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score' stands out. First and foremost, Southend have been unable to avoid high-scoring games of late. They've both scored and conceded in each of their last four, while three or more goals have been scored in each of their last three. What's more, three or more have been notched in 80% of Southend's home games this term. Add in that the pair have kept just one clean sheet between them in their combined respective 20 home and away games and goals for both seem likely. Southend also rank as the worst League 1 team when it comes to shots on target conceded at home. They average 7.2 against. Despite doing better, MK Dons haven't done well on the road in that respect, as they've surrendered an average of 5.00, which puts them well in the bottom half.

But which of that illustrious group has had the biggest impact on him? “I would say Guardiola,” Coman responds. Because he is the one who made me start playing a little more regularly even if I had played a few matches at Juve. For a player in my position, a winger who likes to hit and provoke, he is the best coach we can have because that is what demands us the most.
That means there could yet be some flexibility around the proposed restart start in June, but nevertheless the WSL is understood to have two main options remaining as the most likely. Tiers three to seven of the women's pyramid in England were formally declared null and void after that decision was ratified on 9 April and the top two tiers could follow suit depending on the health advice given. Concluding the top-tier campaign, if the earliest possible date of 6-7 June can be used, could involve the following:• Players resuming full training in the final week of May• All teams being based at a central hub like St George's Park, Burton-upon-Trent• Matches could recommence from the weekend of 6-7 June, behind closed doors• WSL teams would play two matches per week for the following six weeks• That timeframe would see the campaign conclude by the weekend of 18-19 JulyHolding games at traditional home and away venues has not yet been fully ruled out, and clubs will each decide when they resume training, in line with government advice.
