It has been nearly 13 years since David Beckham stunned the football world when he swapped Real Madrid for Major League Soccer side Los Angeles Galaxy. Since then, a number of British stars, such as Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, have plied their trade across the Atlantic. But what about the surprisingly long list of English footballers - and coaches - who are pursuing their careers in the USL Championship, the league below MLS? Keanu Marsh-Brown and Jose Baxter tasted life in the Premier League, playing for Fulham and Everton respectively.
While Cesar Azpilicueta has been solid down the right side, the choice of Marcos Alonso and Emerson is a sticking point at left-back. Ben Chilwell might be a fans’ first choice, however there’s likely no chance that Leicester will let him leave in January, particularly to a top-four rival. It might be a case of waiting until the summer to make that happen.

The tide began to turn when Graeme Souness' arrival as player-manager at Ibrox ushered in a Rangers revolution of lavish spending. By summer 1997, the Ibrox club - with Walter Smith at the helm - were one short of 10. This was an absurdly-talented team comprising the likes of Brian Laudrup, Paul Gascoigne, Ally McCoist. Their momentum looked unstoppable against a Celtic side that had won one trophy in eight years and had just changed manager, appointing Dutchman Wim Jansen.
They have got an exciting talent in Phil Foden who will get his chance to step up, but he has got a huge hole to fill. When you look at how much Silva has won, what he has achieved and what he has given to our game in his time in England, the Spanish midfielder deserves to be remembered as one of the best foreign players we have seen in the Premier League. I would put him in the same bracket as Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, Manchester United great Eric Cantona and Silva's brilliant City team-mate Sergio Aguero.
Gradually, Celtic began to stretch their hosts and the breakthrough arrived in style. Ntcham, whose goalscoring threat, passing range and strength were evident throughout the first half, gathered on the angle of the box, cut back and fired a crisp shot across Clyde goalkeeper David Mitchell into the far corner. A goal of great technique on his 24th birthday, it gave Celtic the platform they sought.
Almeria will host Numancia for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites on the home ground. Almeria is one of the ambitious teams in this campaign. They are currently on the 3rd place with 26 points. Almeria are undefeated in their last 5 matches. I think, the hosts will try to make a positive results. Perhaps, they want to stay in the race for direct promotion. Also, we have Numancia who's is also ambitious team. They are currently on the 5th place with 25 points. Guests are in solid shape. In any case, both teams want to get a positive result. However, Numancia is not very good team away from home. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.
PSG added: "The player is expected to be sidelined for approximately three weeks. France international Mbappe left the pitch in tears after being fouled by Saint-Etienne defender Loic Perrin in the first half of PSG's victory. The conclusion of this season's Champions League, delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, will consist of an eight-team straight knockout tournament in the Portuguese capital, with the final on 23 August.
However, on the pitch the side have stayed pretty resolute and they come into this match undefeated in their last nine home matches. Although the league table is not exactly pretty for them, they will be delighted to have a five point lead and a game in hand over the side in the solitary relegation spot. If the Silkmen are to accomplish their goal and retain their spot in the Football League for next season, then they are going to have to ensure a defence which has seen them concede just 26 times this season remains on song for the remainder of the campaign.

It did improve Chelsea but in reality they could not get any worse in a feisty London derby which saw nine players booked. They took complete control of possession and territory after the break, with Lampard's subsequent substitutions also having an impact.

Indeed, the Italians have now won 8 of their last 9 matches, including each of the last 5 and that has their prospects looking bright as regards fulfilling their end of the bargain.
Probably this will be very easy match for home team and I believe that they will easy win here, what is more than ok and real. So, for me this team is huge positive surprise. This season, they were in Europa League with strong PSV and they are secure one of two first places, and in first eliminated round, they are beat AZ Alkmaar, also very good team, after 1-1 and 2-0 in two matches. Hartberg is bad team and they are have problematic defense. I don't see really here problems for home team and they will easy win here.

He was not faultless; his comments ahead of the Champions League final were naïve at best. However, not to put too fine a point on it, that decline began in the summer of 2017, put in motion after the club – and for club, read board – failed to improve a team that had achieved their best finish in the modern era.
Even with their domestic failures, Emery’s side remain unbeaten in all competitions at home this season, and they have scored at least two goals in eight of their 10 matches. Frankfurt, meanwhile, have shipped two or more goals in five of their nine away games since the Bundesliga season started, so we think backing Arsenal Over 1.5 Team Goals looks a great choice here.
You have to be fair as a sportsperson," the 29-year-old Germany international added. Premier League clubs are due to meet on 3 April, when it is almost certain the current postponement until the end of April will be extended again. That will take it past the official end of the English Football League season and towards the last round of Premier League fixtures, which was supposed to be on 17 May. Aleksander Ceferin, president of European football's governing body Uefa, said on Saturday the 2019-20 campaign could be lost if it cannot be restarted by the end of June.

The very names hold uncomfortable memories for England and will provide the acid test of Southgate's claim that they are moving closer to that elite group. England have struggled with the class acts of European international football before as proved by Croatia in Russia and the emerging Netherlands at the inaugural Uefa Nations League in Portugal last June. All opponents will be wary of the damage England's superb attack, built around Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling, can do but they will also relish facing that vulnerable rearguard, especially if they have the quality of France, Germany and a Portugal team still inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo, who won that Uefa Nations League in their own country.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe said his side went into half-time of Sunday's remarkable 4-1 win over Leicester with their survival hopes "as bleak as they could be". The Cherries were six points from safety in the as-it-stands table with just nine points remaining after a toothless 45 minutes which saw Jamie Vardy's goal give Leicester the lead and star defender Nathan Ake come off injured. But an incredible two-minute spell saw Howe's side take the lead and Leicester go down to 10 men, with striker Dominic Solanke finally scoring his first league goal for the club.
To my friends they still see me as Luke, but to the year sevens (11- and 12-year-olds) I'm some sort of superstar. That's so weird to me because I was in their shoes, wearing that exact same uniform, taught by the same teachers, sitting in the same classrooms, writing with the same pens and pencils and now they're coming up to me with their planners for their homework asking me to sign stuff and I'm getting told off by my old head of year because I'm not allowed to.
Hosts have 40 points and are sitting on 3rd place in the league mainly thanks to having scored the 3rd most goals so far in the league, 42 goals total but they have also conceded more than 30 goals as their defense is really not to be trusted and I see Zlin capable of even scoring 2+ goals in this one as in the 3 friendly games they have played during this pandemic break they scored 12 times winning even 5-0 away at top second league club Brno a few days ago a game which I watched and they simply attacked non-stop and kept on scoring goals.
