Preview: Manchester United v Galatasaray

Unknown 0 10:06

<br />Setting the scene: United travel to Scandinavia with Jose Mourinho keen for the Reds to hone match sharpness ahead of the new season, particularly after Monday’s Manchester derby in Beijing was disappointingly cancelled at late notice due to extreme weather conditions in the Chinese capital.<br /><br />Team news: The squad has been boosted since the trip to China by the addition of several players who were rested following their participation at Euro 2016 - including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Anthony Martial, Morgan Schneiderlin, Marouane Fellaini and Matteo Darmian. See our separate news story for the confirmed 23-man travelling party.<br /><br />Story of their season: The 2015/16 campaign was something of a mixed bag for Galatasaray after the Turkish giants disappointingly finished sixth in the Super Lig and exiting the Champions League at the group stage, finishing third behind eventual finalists Atletico Madrid as well as Benfica. They were then knocked out of the Europa League by Italian side Lazio in the Round of 32, but managed to lift a trophy with their 1-0 Turkish Cup final victory over Robin van Persie’s Fenerbahce.<br /><br />Who's their star man? Consider one of the longest-running transfer sagas of recent history and Wesley Sneijder’s reported move to United will surely come to mind. The Dutch midfielder was continually linked with the Reds throughout the latter stages of Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign, so much so that you couldn’t escape his name in the British press for months, yet the move never came to fruition and he later joined Galatasaray in 2013. He’s now their biggest name, along with Lukas Podolski, and the 33-year-old will likely face off against his former Inter Milan manager Mourinho in this friendly.<br />

Celtic v Barcelona Preview

Unknown 0 09:44

<br /><br />After an intense week of training at St. George’s Park, FC Barcelona are looking to put their practice into action on Saturday when they take on Celtic in their first match of the International Champions Cup (7.00pm CET).<br /><br />At the disposal of Luis Enrique will be all but two of the players who travelled on Monday to the English FA’s facilities, as Adriano completed a move to Besiktas and Martin Montoya was given permission to leave the camp on Saturday morning. The manager, therefore, has eleven first team players to choose from, and 12 from Barça B.<br /><br />The majority of those who reached the latter stages of the Copa America and Euro 2016 are still on vacation, but one of those who cut their holidays short was Leo Messi, who is ready for selection.<br /><br />Aside from the familiar faces, the match also provides the manager with the chance of checking up on some of the youngsters who have joined the tour.<br /><br />On the opposing bench will be Brendan Rodgers, who coached Luis Suarez at Liverpool. Celtic have already played one match in the friendly competition against Premier League champions Leicester City. The Glaswegians played out a 1-1 draw with the Foxes, but lost 6-5 on penalties.<br />

<br />
<br />I think I have a group of lads who are very focused and determined, and who take pride in doing things well. I'm certain that one single game will not change the attitude of these lads. I'm convinced of this.<br /><br />It was a good performance against Belgium and we made the best start to UEFA EURO 2016, but we've not done anything yet, nor have we already qualified for the last 16, which is our first objective. We have our feet firmly on the ground, preparing for tomorrow's game and looking for the win.<br />Bonucci: Victory was built on typical Italian qualities<br /><br />We're seeing some really, really tight games to be honest and you can see that every game is very, very difficult – look at France yesterday, they only went ahead against Albania in the 90th minute and added a second in the 96th.<br /><br />The games are going down to the wire and we've got to be very well prepared. We just have to concentrate on what we are doing, what we have to do, who we have to face and their strengths and weaknesses. We've got to give the best we can to reach our first objective, which is the last 16.<br /><br />We've got to attack them as a team. In defence the problem is not only Ibrahimović, it could also be Forsberg or Guidetti; it could be their set pieces or various things we have to analyse. When we analyse our opponents, we look at them first as a team then break them down into individuals and try to highlight their deficiencies.

Ajax v PAOK Betting Preview

Unknown 0 12:00

Ajax are historical regulars among Europe’s elite clubs, but they 
have undoubtedly declined since their glory days. They are still 
regulars in the group stages of the Champions League though, with them 
making it that far in five of their last six seasons. They haven’t made 
it past the groups during this period though, with their most successful
 outing being a round of 16 appearance in the Europa League in 2014/15.<br />
Their
 2nd place finish in the Eredivisie last season saw them fail to 
dislodge PSV at the top again, although there was just a two point gap 
between them at the end of the season. With the Eredivisie season 
kicking off the weekend after this tie is finished, Ajax will be keen to
 get their competitive season off to a good start as they look to 
reclaim the Dutch title.<br />
Ajax’ pre-season form has been rather 
patchy though. They have won two, drawn two, and lost one of their 
friendlies, although they haven’t lost a competitive match since an away
 defeat to Utrecht in December 2015. At home their unbeaten streak 
stretched back to October as well, so they are certainly hard to defeat.<br />
PAOK
 eventually finished 2nd in their domestic league as well. Olympiakos 
stormed the regular season as they dropped just five points in 30 
matches, winning the title by a huge 30 point margin over 2nd placed 
Panathinaikos. But during the playoff round PAOK came back from a 
disappointing regular season to top the table and claim a runners up 
medal and a Champions League qualification position.<br />
This is the 
first time they have qualified for the Champions LEague since the 
2013/14 season, but they have never made it as far as the group stages 
in this competition. They have made it to the Europa League group stages
 in five of their last six seasons though, making it to the knockout 
stages three times as well.

PSV Reserves vs FC Eindhoven Match Preview

Unknown 0 10:25

PSV Eindhoven will be prepared to continue their winning streak when they Portuguese side FC Porto on Thursday 21st July.<br /><br />PSV extended their winning streak to three games after they brutalised Portugal’s Sporting CP 5-0 on Monday in a grand style, Luuk De Jong who grabbed a brace in the game scored an opener just 5′ minutes into the game when he converted the penalty awarded to them, 21′ minutes later, Jurgen Locadia made it 2-0. Alberto Aquilani made matters worse for the Portuguese side when was sent off in the 34′ minute with his second yellow card booking of the game. Jorrit Hendrix made 3-0 4 minutes before half time while Adam Maher and Luuk de Jong finished it off in 50′ and 55′ minutes respectively.

Sunderland vs Stade Nyonnais Match Preview

Unknown 0 10:04

<br /><br />After the big drama about Sam Allardyce and his decision to accept the job offered by England FA, it seems like Sunderland’s club board has found the perfect solution. Experienced and known expert David Moyes has been appointed as new head manager for the Saints and he will have his debut tomorrow. They are currently preparing for the new season in Switzerland, where they will have series of games against domestic and French teams. Stade Nyonnais are their next test tomorrow night and it is very hard to expect from a 3rd division squad to represent a big threat for standard members of England Premier League.<br /><br />Sunderland have already played two pre – season games but on the UK soil. They were victorious against Rotherham and Hartlepool United ( 3 – 0, 2 – 1 ), and the squad was looking pretty fit in those matches. When it comes to the latest transfer period, it seems Sunderland’s club board hasn’t shown all the cards yet. There are rumors of some big name arriving at the Stadium of Light but nothing was confirmed yet.<br /><br />If we are going to judge by the odds, Sunderland won’t be that big favorites to win this match. The current odds are 9/20, while the Swiss side are the underdogs with 3/1. It is still unknown if David Moyes is going to use his best players straight ahead tomorrow, but still the quality is on the side of Sunderland. We have no doubts they will achieve the 3rd consecutive victory in the pre – season period.<br /><br />Stade Nyonnais are currently participating in the 3rd Swiss division, where they were last season as well. They were 7th in the final standings for last year with 39 points from 30 games.<br />

Basel vs Wolfsburg betting tips and preview

Unknown 0 10:48

Basel did a decent game against Monaco (0-1) in their last game, but their finishing was not good enough in order to challenge them. Basel did pose a very strong team with both of their recent signings Mohamed Elyounoussi (from Molde) and Seydou Doumbia (on loan from Roma) in their starting lineup. However, it was not a surprise that Monaco won the game when looking at the possession of the ball. Basel was only aiming for counter attacks or exploit personal mistakes that were made from Monaco. Although they did not have much of the ball, Basel got invited into the game from the 70th minute, due to lack of concentration from Monaco who changed ten players at halftime. The problem was only the lack of finishing when the chances occurred which made a loss only fair in the end.<br /><br />Wolfsburg comes from a tough loss against Celtic (2-1) in their last friendly three days ago. It was only their second game in this preseason after they beat PSV on a penalty shootout after getting 1-1 in regular time. The match reports say that Wolfsburg played their best half during the first 45 minutes and especially offensively. They took the lead after 16 minutes, but it suddenly was equal five minutes later.<br />

FK Liepaja vs Salzburg - Preview

Unknown 0 10:02

Latvian champions Liepaja surprised a few by only losing 1-0 in Austria, and now they might just might believe they can pull off a true shock by winning in their own back yard and securing a place in the next round. The bookies don’t fancy the hosts chances though with some offering just 17/2 on a Liepaja win and 2/7 on a victory for Salzburg, who are still huge favourites despite that narrow victory during the first leg. I have to say I’m also expecting a Salzburg victory, but I think we could be in for a really close game with possibly just one goal separating the teams come the final whistle. The hosts already have their domestic season well underway, whereas Salzburg kick theirs off this weekend, and that could just go in favour of Liepaja who should be 100% match fit.<br /><br /> Last weekend marked the first time these two sides ever met, and despite dominating the game Salzburg only walked away with a one goal advantage. The hosts were expected to win by a fairly decent margin and with 70% of the possession and 10 shots on target they probably should have done. The only goal of the game arrived just seven minutes from time, Soriano putting the ball into the back of the net to the disappointment of the away fans.<br />

Union Berlin v Watford match preview

Unknown 0 09:54

<br />Watford have made a solid if unspectacular start to their preparations for this coming Premier League season. A much-weakened outfit headed to non-league side Woking to play out a 1-1 draw in their first warm-up match and after that, a stronger starting XI helped the Hornets grind out a 2-0 away win over League Two Stevenage last Thursday night.<br /><br />Now in Germany for a pre-season training camp, the Hornets play Union Berlin at Stadion an der Alten Forsterei in their only overseas pre-season fixture this summer and they're unsurprisingly the favourites to win the game against a second-tier German outfit, despite not having the home advantage. <br /><br />This will be Union Berlin's biggest pre-season test prior to their 2.Bundesliga campaign along with a match against Utrecht coming up next week. Eiserne have picked up two wins from three games thus far this summer over Hansa Rostock and Victoria Seelow, but these were much-needed victories following an embarrassing 4-0 loss away to Atglienicke in their first game.<br />

Lippstadt v Bayern Munich

Unknown 0 07:52

This is not the first time that Oberliga Westfalen (5th tier) side SV Lippstadt 08, who finished 6th last season, have hosted Bayern Munich. In fact, this friendly against SV Lippstadt is a gift from Bayern Munich to chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge for his 60th birthday. SV Lippstadt 08 is Rummenigge “home club” before the former world-class striker transferred to Bayern Munich in 1974. set up his tent in Munich. At Rummenigge’s request, half of the revenues from this friendly are going towards refugee assistance across the city of SV Lippstadt and the other half to the club itself. 8,500 fans are expected to turn up and “to not lose by two digits” is Lippstadt’s goal heading into this match.<br />
<br />
New season and new faces for Bayern Munich, with Carlo Ancelotti leading the first training session on Monday. Stars such as Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben, Philipp Lahm, Xabi Alonso and Javi Martinez were all present. Bayern Munich are, however, without all players who participated in the Euros over the summer, such as Mats Hummels (signed from Dortmund over the summer), Jerome Boateng, Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller or the 18 year old Portuguese European champion Renato Sanches (signed from Benfica over the summer).<br />

1860 Munich narrowly avoided relegation from the 2. Bundesliga last season, finishing just 2 points above the relegation zone in 15th place. ‘1860’ have played 4 club friendlies so far this summer ‘1860’, drawing 1-1 at home to Austrian champions FC Basel, followed by 3 away fixtures against lower league Austrian sides. 1860’s most notable performance comes in a 9-0 win away to Austrian 4th league side Pollau.<br /><br />Borussia Dortmund finished 2nd and 18 points above 3rd place Bayer Leverkusen in last years Bundesliga – champions Bayern Munich were 10 points clear at the top at competition’s end. Dortmund’s last competitive fixture was a chance at redemption in the DFB Pokal (German Cup) final against Bayern Munich, but disappointing Dortmund were defeated on penalties after playing out a 0-0 after 90 mins and extra time. Since then, Dortmund have played and won 3 pre-season friendlies and said goodbye to star midfielders Henrikh Mkhitaryan (11 goals in 28 appearances), who left to join Manchester United on a 4-year contract, and Gundogan, who joined Manchester City.<br /><br />Borussia Dortmund have been starting strong lineups in their friendlies and bringing on many weaker and less experienced players at half time to benefit all parties. Star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (25 goals in 31 appearances) scored 2 goals within 18 minutes against St. Pauli last Thursday but after 11 half time substitutions a weaker, less experienced Borussia Dortmund side proceeded to concede 2 goals before clinching a late 3-2 winner.

<br />
New Motherwell midfielder Carl McHugh admits their Betfred Cup clash with Rangers is an example of why he jumped at the chance to move to Scotland.<br />
<br />
The 23-year-old signed earlier this month after Plymouth felt they had agreed a contract extension and he cannot wait to get started when Rangers visit Fir Park on Saturday in the revamped group stage.<br />
<br />
"Obviously it would be great to test yourself against teams like that," he said. "Rangers will be very strong. You would expect them to be right up there this season when you look at some of the signings they have made.<br />
<br />
"It's a great test for us, it's very early and being ready for the league is the main priority, but this is a massive game and it will give us a good yardstick of where we are."<br />
<br />
McHugh had earlier revealed he took a wage cut in order to move to Scotland for football and family reasons.<br />
<br />
"The opportunity came up quite late in the day and I just felt for myself and my family it was an opportunity I couldn't turn down," the Irishman said.<br />
<br />
"You are playing at a lot of really good grounds and good clubs and there's a lot of high-profile games at big clubs.<br />
<br />
"It's a great opportunity. Motherwell have competed in Europe a lot over the past five or six seasons and that's a bit of an ambition, to try and be involved in those games this time next year."<br />
<br />
Former Chester defender Ben Heneghan, ex-Grimsby right-back Richard Tait and former Leicester forward Jacob Blyth could also make their debuts but Louis Moult (groin) is a doubt.<br />
<br />
Rangers will be without Matt Crooks at Fir Park, as the former Accrington player works his way back from ankle surgery, while boss Mark Warburton will slowly integrate his new players over the Betfred Cup group stages.<br />
<br />
"It's probably too early for Joey (Barton)," Warburton said. "You will maybe see Niko (Kranjcar) for a short period and then look to introduce both of them on Tuesday in a greater capacity, but a limited amount of time.<br />
<br />
<br />
"You will see a number of changes on Tuesday and then Friday. We will rotate everyone from the keepers right the way through. The young ones will be included too.<br />
<br />
<br />
"Wes (Foderingham) will certainly start on Saturday and Matt (Gilks) will come in on Tuesday. Lee Hodson will start on Tuesday, Josh Windass will start on Tuesday."<br />
<br />
<br />
Rangers have only played one pre-season friendly but they were in a similar situation when they played Hibernian in last year's Petrofac Cup opener in July, and stunned their hosts and Ladbrokes Championship rivals with a 6-2 win.<br />
<br />
<br />
And midfielder Andy Halliday hopes they can get one over their Premiership opponents at Fir Park.<br />
<br />
<br />
"It's a similar scenario," he said. "I remember when the draw for the Petrofac was made, Hibs were seen as our closest rivals.<br />
<br />
"Outside this building, it was seen as a tough draw for us but it was one we relished. Motherwell has come quite early in our pre-season preparations, and it's a big test for us and we want to get off to a good start.<br />

Everton vs FK Jablonec - Preview

Unknown 0 05:55

Everton face Jablonec in a pre-season friendly fixture on Saturday trading as bet365’s 4/5 favourites to inaugurate their preparations for the new Premier League season with a victory.<br /><br /><br />While Blues fans could draw succour from runs to the semi-finals of the League and FA Cups, the 11th-place league finish derived from a record of just 11 wins in 38 matches was fundamentally insufficient for a club in possession of Everton’s playing squad and financial resource and the success enjoyed by Leicester City and Spurs last term only served set the Goodison Park side’s underperformance in even sharper relief.<br /><br />The appointment of hugely successful Southampton manager, Ronald Koeman, as Martinez’s successor last month, however, has boosted fan optimism thatFarhad Moshiri’s takeover in the second half of last season might transform the club’s fortunes.<br /><br />Everton’s squad has already been strengthened by the arrival of Netherlands goalkeeper, Maarten Stekelenburg, this summer and speculation continues to abound that players of the calibre of Axel Witsel, Georginio Wijnaldum andFernando Llorente could be set to move the Goodison Park in the near future. The retention of senior players such as John Stones, Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku will also prove crucial to the Merseyside club’s hopes of securing  a top-four finish in the coming campaign.<br />

Preview: Wigan Athletic v Manchester United

Unknown 1 05:42

<br /><br />Match details: This pre-season friendly against Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium will kick off at 13:30 BST on Saturday 16 July and the match will be shown exclusively live on MUTV for subscribers. You can also follow the action via ManUtd.com’s live blog and the club’s official Twitter account @ManUtd, while tickets are still available to buy for official members and season ticket holders.<br /><br />Setting the scene: Before flying over 5,500 miles to China for Tour 2016, presented by Aon, the dawn of a new era at United will begin less than 30 miles up the road in Wigan. The composition of Jose Mourinho’s first squad as manager is yet to be revealed, with a number of youth players expected to join a sprinkling of seniors against the Latics, though the new boss’s formation and tactical approach is sure to be scrutinised by supporters. This is a must-watch for all Reds.<br /><br />Fixture congestion: This may sound odd but Wigan have scheduled another friendly against Liverpool for Sunday afternoon at 16:00 BST – which is just over 24 hours after facing United! It is presumed that they will field two separate squads for the double-header.<br /><br />A word from Wigan: In a statement to announce the friendly with United, Latics chairman David Sharpe looked forward to a big weekend for his club: “This will be Jose Mourinho’s first game in charge as manager of Manchester United and there will be a big focus on the DW Stadium,” he said. “These two games will certainly give the supporters a great way to welcome our players back to the DW after the summer break and will be great occasions.”a

Raiders v Cowboys: Schick Preview

Unknown 0 02:20

<br />Schick Hydro Preview: Canberra Raiders v North Queensland Cowboys<br />GIO Stadium<br />Monday 7pm<br /><br />This had the makings of being one of the games of the season. <br /><br />Two high-flying teams with huge forward packs, flashy outside backs and of course the game's premier playmaker doing battle in the nation's capital.<br /><br />Alas, Johnathan Thurston and four of his fellow Cowboys will be away on Origin duty, thus severely denting their chances of a third straight victory. <br /><br />Instead, the Cowboys will leave their tropical surroundings for what could be freezing conditions in Canberra to take on a Raiders side still reminiscing about their great escape last weekend.<br /><br />The Green Machine trailed the Newcastle Knights 22-0 in the shadows of half-time before mounting a stirring comeback to eventually steal it in golden point with a try to Jordan Rapana that had to be seen to be believed.<br /><br />That could be the get-out-of-jail-free game they needed at this stage of the season, and with a bye to come in Round 19 the Raiders could easily find themselves top-four bound in the coming weeks.

Portugal v France: UEFA EURO 2016 final preview

Unknown 0 euro 2016 01:56

Possible line-ups<br />
Portugal: Rui Patrício; Cédric, Pepe, Fonte, Guerreiro; William Carvalho, Adrien, João Mário, Renato Sanches; Nani, Ronaldo.<br />
Doubtful: Pepe (thigh)<br />
<br />
Pepe missed the semi-final with a thigh injury but trained on Saturday and "didn't express any complaints", according to Fernando Santos. William Carvalho is expected to replace Danilo in central midfield.<br />
<br />
France: Lloris; Sagna, Koscielny, Umtiti, Evra; Pogba, Matuidi; Sissoko, Griezmann, Payet; Giroud.<br />
France feeling calm ahead of final<br />
<br />
France should be unchanged, despite French media speculation about N'Golo Kanté being brought in to stiffen the midfield and whether Dimitri Payet should start after a quiet game in the semis.<br />
<br />
<br />
Coach quotes<br />
Fernando Santos, Portugal<br />
I've said before that our objective was to play in the final and win it. We have great belief because we want to make the Portuguese people happy. We want to give them something to celebrate.<br />
<br />
I don't think there's any point discussing the France team. Everyone knows them very well. Right from the beginning I've always said there would be three favourites to win this competition: France, Spain and Germany. And then there were other contenders, including Portugal, who could perhaps also win it.<br />
Cristiano Ronaldo: France are the favourites<br />
<br />
If we have to pay attention to individuals then we would have to worry about everyone – I would have to list every single name in the France team. They have well-known, top-quality players who play at big teams around the world. Of course, every individual player can make the difference, but Portugal also have a strong team with individual match winners.<br />
<br />
I've said many times how much I appreciate and am grateful for all the support we've had every day, not only at the stadiums but on the way there and at Marcoussis [the Portugal training base]. Tomorrow we will need them even more.<br />

Germany vs. France - Football Match Preview

Unknown 0 euro 2016 09:30

Germany have also not suffered a defeat against France in three straight knockout matches, all of them in World Cups, and Joachim Low's XI also have the experience of six consecutive semifinals at major tournaments.<br />
<br />
They have matured in recent years, knowing exactly where -- and, more importantly, when -- to attack their opposition. They will not make easy it for France, who are indeed the favourites regardless of all the stats above.<br />
<br />
Jonathan Johnson: In reaching the semifinals, France have achieved their minimum expectation for Euro 2016, so the pressure will be off a little. The hosts produced their best attacking display of the tournament so far in their 5-2 win over Iceland and will head into the Germany clash full of confidence.<br />
<br />
Joachim Low's men certainly have the necessary experience at this stage of the competition, having reached the semifinals of the 2014 World Cup after defeating France 1-0 in the quarters. If nothing else, this could be a valuable learning curve for future tournaments for Les Bleus, but there is also little doubt that this team has what it takes to beat Germany.<br />
<br />
Roared on by passionate home support and buoyed by the optimism created by their clinical performance against Iceland, Didier Deschamps' men will be the ones to topple the world champions at Stade Velodrome.<br />
<br />
France struggled at the start of this tournament -- they needed late goals to see out Romania and Albania, and were also struggling against Ireland in the round of 16. Didier Deschamps' team then hit their stride in the 5-2 win against the dark horses Iceland but again showed weaknesses in defence.<br />
<br />
While the hosts have banked on moments of individual brilliance and the firepower of Olivier Giroud, Antoine Griezmann and most prominently Dimitri Payet, Germany have been the dominant side in all of their Euro matches so far. Coach Joachim Low used the group stages to form a winning mentality within his squad and has amended his formation and tactics when needed.<br />
<br />
The 2014 World Cup triumph still has an enormous impact on the team, giving them an aura of invincibility, with the penalty drama against Italy perhaps the best proof of that. Patience was the key, as Germany never lost their cool and showed once again that the Nationalmannschaft is indeed a team rather than a group of individuals.<br />
<br />
Germany were certainly more convincing than France in the earlier stages of the competition, but Die Mannschaft needed penalties to get past Italy in their quarterfinal.<br />
<br />
In the Round of 16, Deschamps' men squeezed past Republic of Ireland thanks to a much-improved second-half display, while Low's team comfortably saw off Slovakia.<br />

Portugal vs. Wales - Football Match Preview

Unknown 0 euro 2016 08:01

Tom Kundert: Somewhat atypically, Portugal have reached the semifinals more through grit and heart than silky, easy-on-the-eyes football. This time around, it has been the strength and power of Pepe, the energy and industry of Renato Sanches, and the sheer bloody-mindedness to find a way to win, even if it means winning ugly, that have stood out.<br /><br />Coach Fernando Santos' side have a superb opportunity to book their place at the Stade de France on Sunday, provided they continue to show the determination, patience and humility that got them past Croatia and Poland.<br /><br />Everyone associated with the Portugal delegation will be hammering home the idea that this is no foregone conclusion, but if the players, even subconsciously, allow complacency to enter their heads, it will be a mistake.<br /><br />Glen Wilson: To paraphrase a fellow Wales fan, this is the nation's biggest football match since last Friday when they beat Belgium. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Wales' march to the Euro 2016 semifinals is that coming into this game against Portugal, they can be considered the form side.<br /><br />While Portugal have stuttered and stumbled, Wales have won four of their five matches and, were it not for France's rout of Iceland, Wales would be arriving in Lyon as the tournament's top scorers.<br /><br />But while Wales fly blind and fearlessly, suspensions for Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davies mean Chris Coleman must change a winning side to function without two of his most impressive performers. It all points to the biggest test of Wales' "together, stronger" team ethic to date.<br /><br />TK: Some people claim Ronaldo has had a disappointing tournament, but the Portugal captain single-handedly dragged his side into the Round of 16 with two fine goals and a majestic assist, played a key role in the match-winning goal against Croatia and won a clear penalty against Poland, to which the referee turned a blind eye. That's not too shabby for a "poor tournament."<br />

Guangzhou R&F - Schalke 04

Unknown 0 04:29

FC Schalke 04 have been greeted by hundreds of euphoric fans at the Guangdong Stadium in Guangzhou - the first stop of the club's maiden trip to China.<br /><br />"It was simply overwhelming, the welcome we received," said Schalke's top scorer in 2015/16 Klaas-<br /><br />Huntelaar and midfielder Johannes Geis then challenged the local fans to ball-juggling competitions - although the players used plastic fruit instead of footballs. Schalke sporting director Christian Heidel is delighted for the team-building opportunity.<br /><br />"When we return, we will all know each other better," he said. "To me it is extremely important that the group is not just the players, but every individual who plays a role at the club. Such a trip can ensure that we grow together even more."<br /><br />Schalke will take on Guangzhou R&F FC on Tuesday before facing Luiz Felipe Scolari's Chinese Super League champions Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao FC on Thursday.<br /><br />To keep up-to-date with Schalke's progress in the Far East, follow the hashtags #SchalkeInChina and #BLWorldTour on Twitter.

Preview: France v Iceland

Unknown 0 euro 2016 07:46

Physically they are very strong and we'll have to battle for the ball. I can't make my players taller. I have players who can compete in the air. We have to be aggressive and watch out for flick-ons.<br /><br />I've seen teams start well and finish badly; it's better to do things the other way round as we have been doing. When I see things aren't going well then I react, as I did in the last game when I sent Kingsley Coman to warm up in the 35th minute.<br /><br /><br />Lars Lagerbäck, Iceland joint-coach<br />I always say to players and media that in football you always have a realistic chance. I would say that France are a little bit of a favourite, but I won't call them a big favourite. Most important for us is that we go out tomorrow and believe we can beat them. If we have that attitude, I think we can cause them some problems.<br />Iceland's road to Saint-Denis<br /><br />The players will really enjoy it and at the same time be really focused and play a good game. It's not often you have a chance to get to a semi-final, so I think that's motivation enough.<br /><br />What I hear from Iceland and the support we have here, I understand that this is of course really big. Almost all the population are watching on TV or out in the streets. It would be fantastic to pay that back and [cause] a bit more of an upset at this EURO, so we can let the people and fans really feel the joy we feel when it's going so well.<br />

Germany vs Italy: Preview

Unknown 0 euro 2016 08:00

Germany face familiar foes Italy for their Euro 2016 quarter final clash at the Stade Matmut-Atlantique in Bordeaux on Saturday night.<br /><br />Germany had an easy route to the quarter finals so far and are yet to concede a goal in the tournament. They had one off-day against Poland in the second group match. Other than that they looked dominant in all matches. And they looked like a more organized and settled team in the 3-0 win against Slovakia in the round of 16. But there might be slight worries at the rate at which this team is converting scoring chances. Thomas Muller, who topped the scoring charts for Germany in the last two world cups is yet to score a goal. But he hasn’t scored a single goal in Euro 2012 as well.<br /><br />Italy outfoxed Spain in their round of 16 clash and earned a 2-0 victory to book their place in the quarter finals. Their performance against Spain on Monday is arguably the best in this edition of the tournament so far. Antonio Conte seems to have got every decision right as Italy ended their barren run against Spain in major tournaments. The Azzuri, who qualified to the knockouts as Group E winner, feel to an unexpected defeat against Ireland in their final group game. Other than this they looked solid in rest of the matches.<br />
<br />Germany Team News:<br /><br />Joachim Low has the luxury of a fully fit squad at his disposal and he is expected to field the same line-up that started in the 3-0 victory over Slovakia.<br /><br />The likes of Jerome Boateng, Sami Khedira, Mesut Ozil, Mats Hummels and Joshua Kimmich are one booking away from a one-match suspension.<br />Germany: Predicted Line-up (4-2-3-1)<br /><br />Neuer – Hector, Hummels, Boateng, Kimmich – Khedira, Kroos – Ozil, Muller, Draxler – Gomez.<br />Italy Team News:<br /><br />Thiago Motta is suspended for the quarter final tie against Germany after picking up his second yellow card of the tournament against Spain. While Antonio Candreva is yet to recover from the injury he suffered in the group game against Sweden.<br /><br />Changes are hardly expected to the squad that started in the 2-0 win over Spain. The likes of Andrea Barzagli, Mattia De Sciglio Leonardo Bonucci, Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini, Daniele De Rossi, Eder, Lorenzo Insigne, Salvatore Sirigu, Simone Zaza and Graziano Pelle are one booking away from missing the next match.<br />

Sharks v Eels: Schick preview

Unknown 0 02:26

Remarkably, it's been six weeks since either of these two teams tasted defeat – easily the longest such run of any game this weekend with every other match featuring a team looking to hit back from a last-start loss.<br /><br />The Sharks are obviously on a club-record 11-run streak while the Eels brushed off a couple of poor efforts in the immediate wake of their salary cap penalty and have won three straight (with two byes) over the past five rounds.<br /><br />The incredible run for the Sharks sees them alone at the top of the ladder after 16 rounds, not having tasted defeat since all the way back in Round 3 and part of that success has been a favourable run with injury.<br /><br />After missing last week with a minor strain, winger Sosaia Feki returns pushing Ricky Leutele to an extended bench in coach Shane Flanagan's only change.<br /><br />The Eels have named winger Semi Radradra to retain his wing spot despite uncertainty around the flying Fijian's extended trip home over the bye week and are also boosted by the return of Origin centre Michael Jennings in place of Vai Toutai.<br /><br />Cody Nelson has been called up on the bench with back-up hooker Kaysa Pritchard missing due to a knee injury in the only other change from the team that easily accounted for South Sydney a fortnight ago.<br />

Wales vs Belgium: Preview

Unknown 0 euro 2016 05:57

Belgium showed us why they are ranked two in FIFA rankings with the disciplined performance in the 4-0 win against underdogs Hungary in the round of 16 clash at the Stadium Municipal in Toulouse. The Red Devils had finally come to life after some unconvincing and inconsistent displays in the group stage. They were defeated by Italy in the opening group game, but bounced back with an excellent 3-0 win over Ireland, which was followed by a narrow 1-0 win over Sweden. However, Hungary were not expected to trouble them much in the knock-out clash and Marc Wilmots can take a lot of positives with the big win. He had specifically pin pointed the impressive performance of captain Eden Hazard, but we hope he like to see more of the same from Kevin De Bruyne in the coming stages.<br /><br />Wales were surprise toppers of Group B above England and Slovakia, much to the fantastic team effort and the excellent striking abilities of start man Gareth Bale. But they didn’t look as comfortable against a well-organized Northern Ireland in the round of 16. Wales were unarguably the second best team on the night and needed an own goal from Gareth McAuley to book the ticket to the quarter finals. At the same time, one cannot underestimate the fighting spirit in this unit and they have the ability to mount a big upset. The big positive for Chris Coleman is the fact that the likes of Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen had all come to the party, which will ease the pressure of Gareth Bale in the coming days.<br />Wales: Team News<br /><br />Chris Coleman is sweating on the fitness of his captain Ashley Williams, who collided awkwardly with team mate Jonathan Williams in the closing stages of the match against Northern Ireland. West Ham defender James Collins could get the nod if Williams is deemed unfit to start in time. Other than this probably forced change, the starting line-up is expected to remain the same as in the round of 16 clash.<br /><br />Marc Wilmots is likely to recall Yannick Carrasco into the starting line-up in place of Dries Mertens. Other than these two changes, the line-up is expected to remain the same as in previous outings.<br />Belgium: Predicted Line-up (4-2-3-1):<br /><br />Courtois – Vertonghen, Denayer, Alderweireld, Meunier – Nainggolan, Witsel – Hazard, De Bruyne, Carrasco – Lukaku.<br />Wales vs Belgium: Head-to-Head Stats<br /><br />Belgium are meeting Wales for the first time in a major tournament. And there is little to choose between them from their last 10 competitive meetings. Belgium slightly edge the stats with 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses.<br /><br />These two sides were grouped during the qualification phase for Euro 2016. Wales got the better of their opponents by winning the home leg 1-0 before holding Belgium to a 0-0 draw in the away leg.<br /><br />Wales are unbeaten in the last three meetings against Belgium with 1 win and 2 draws.<br /><br />Belgium’s last win against Wales was a 2-0 away victory during the World Cup 2014 qualification campaign on September 2012.<br /><br />The last four meetings between these two teams had seen under 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring only once.
