What they discovered was that English players’ success rate of 61. However, their conversion rate for penalties during games in World Cups and European Championships (90%) and in European leagues (75%) are above the overall averages of 78. Michel Brinkschulte, Philip Furley and Daniel Memmert, the study authors, conclude that such comparisons do not represent “statistical significance” and that “our results implicate there are no significant differences between the success rates of penalty takers from different nations”.

With just one victory from their last seven matches, the Eagles' paltry win return looks worrying at first glance, though Palace have also lost just two of their last nine in all competitions and just once in eight in the Premier League.
On the day he signed for Celtic, Evan Williams was getting a lift in Sean Fallon's car to a destination he can't remember on an evening he will never forget. Three years down the road at Wolves and Aston Villa had now given way to a new life in Glasgow for the goalkeeper. It was 1969, he was 26 and glad to be home. Wherever they were supposed to be going, he recalls asking Fallon - Jock Stein's storied assistant - to swing by St Pat's church in Anderston first that night.
Maidenhead United lost 2-1 away at Boreham Wood last time out and have now failed to win any of their last four matches in all competitions, while Woking were held to a goalless draw at home by Halifax Town and sit one point outside the playoff places.
I'd say that to me at 18 - the hard work is going to count for something. Twenty-eight years old: 'I'd love to captain England'Bronze made her England debut in 2013, and after winning the Women's Super League twice with Liverpool, she moved to Manchester City where she won the league again, before switching to Lyon in 2017 and going on to win the Champions League and French league twice. She captained England at the 2018 SheBelieves Cup and has reached two World Cup semi-finals.
They were quickly punished for their profligacy as Leeds broke downfield from the subsequent goalkick and Mateusz Klich played Bamford in behind and his second attempted cross was stabbed into his own net by Sollbauer. The Tykes made an excellent start to the second period and Chaplin fired wide before Styles really should have made it 1-1 when he drilled a low shot wide from 18 yards after pinching the ball from Leeds defender Luke Ayling.
Barring a stunning late development, Giroud will remain a Chelsea player until the end of the season after the Blues failed to bring in Dries Mertens from Napoli - or any other suitable alternative. Giroud, who missed the opening section of the season due to injury, has barely featured under Lampard who has Tammy Abraham as his clear first-choice striker and Michy Batshuayi as his understudy.
The hosts had a mini-wobble earlier this season, but they have returned to the top two in impressive fashion after an excellent streak of results.

If this verdict sticks, it will undermine all the good work they have done. They will have been seen to have cheated their way to trophies and in the process damaged the reputation of owner Sheikh Mansour and chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak. If that proves to be the case, the consequences will be fascinating. What have they done?In effect, concealed a number of payments. These were either made to individuals or to inflate sponsorship deals, which allowed the club to meet financial fair play regulations.

David Moyes' side are currently three points clear of 18th place but their -13 goal difference is a very healthy one compared to the other three teams fighting for survival. That said, if the players have already switched off and suffer two very big thrashings against Manchester United and Aston Villa, there is a slight possibility of dragging them down into trouble. Very slight. Aston Villa (17th)West Ham (away)Recent form: LLLWDWVilla can guarantee survival by matching Watford's result - unless both of those teams lose and Bournemouth win.
Van Basten apologised later in the programme while Fox said in a statement on Monday that the comment was "stupid and inappropriate" and that it had suspended the three-times Ballon d'Or winner until December 7.

The Belgian defender gave Wolves the lead when he poked in from Joao Moutinho's corner in the 23rd minute, before Cutrone found the corner with a low drive, two minutes after replacing Raul Jimenez. West Ham's best chances fell the way of Pablo Fornals and Robert Snodgrass. Fornals forced a good save from Rui Patricio with a curling shot, before Snodgrass' heavy touch allowed the Portuguese keeper to snuff out the danger.
Ole's taking a lot of flak, every newspaper he reads, every radio programme, TV programme with clever pundits, he will hear that he's not the guy. It's (Massimiliano) Allegri, it's (Mauricio) Pochettino who will come in the summer. But Ole's been brave enough to take two steps back and say 'this is what we have to do.

At Crown Ground, John Coleman's men are becoming increasingly tough to face. They've won each of their last three at home, as well as four of their last five, while they've only lost one of their last seven in front of a home crowd. In the defensive third, there's still lots of room for improvement, as a total of 13 goals against suggests, though it's tough to criticise Stanley's efforts at the other end, as they've notched a very encouraging 23 goals in 10 home matches.
Of the 24 games that have been played since the resumption, 14 of those have been goalless at half time, but only three have finished 0-0. In fact, a hefty 71% of the 52 goals scored have been netted in the second half of matches. The biggest factor that has dropped since the resumption has been the number of big chances created from 4. Former Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas said: "The first half of most games have been pretty poor and that has been a running theme post lockdown.
Real Esteli can clinch second place with a win in this game. They are ahead of their opponents on goal difference but have the marginally better form over the last five games.

APEJES Academy will host UMS de Loum for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Both teams are in danger of getting to the relegation zone. I think, both teams will be very careful in this game. They will to pick up at least one point. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. Hosts have slight advantage at home stadium. They have only 1 victory. Also, the visitors have a very difficult task. Nevertheless, they have a chance to make a positive result. My pick - UMS de Loum to win.

CHANCE! They don't look assured in defence, but Arsenal do look lively in attack. Nelson skips past his marker in the box and fizzes a cross into Martinelli, who heads over from six yards out. The cross might have been a bit behind him, but would have expected Martinelli to finish from there. GOAL! Arsenal take the lead on the stroke of half-time.

Valencia have not won for three consecutive games in the Santander League (two draws and one defeat), they coming from defeat against Real Madrid (3-0), after their home draws against the Levante (1 -1) and away against Alaves (1-1). Osasuna arrives at this match without having won four of their last five matches in the Santander League (1 draw and 3 defeats). they are coming from an away draw against Real Sociedad and the 5-0 defeat against Atletico. Valencia is only a slight favorite in this game in my opinion. They did not come out of the Corona break very well with a draw against Levante and a defeat against Real Madrid. Osasuna also not in good shape and they will show a reaction here.

Tomkins was booked after a poor challenge on Arsenal substitute Gabriel Martinelli, while Wilfried Zaha had a penalty shout waved away as the clocked ticked over into injury time.

Should the pan-continental Euros be moved to 2021 it could come into conflict with FIFA's plans for an expanded Club World Cup in that timeslot involving the world's leading club sides.

Viktoria is one of the better away teams in the league, and if they maintain that form at the home ground, squad would be far away from the lower part of the competition, and relegation zone. Host here is not doing too good here, and they are not unbeatable at their field. This may be match of big importance for the rivals, which could push one of them more to the secure part of the league.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1Al's prediction: We were playing so well before the break and it is hard to predict what effect that loss of momentum will have on the team. But I have to back them really - I could not be a bigger fan of Marcus Rashford on and off the pitch and having him and Pogba back fit, and playing alongside Bruno Fernandes for the first time, is very exciting. Al on why she supports United: "My dad grew up in Stockport and is a United season-ticket holder.
According to an internal DFL report from late March, at least 13 of the 36 Bundesliga and second-division sides face insolvency by May or June, if the season does not restart soon. Twelve of these 13 clubs have already guaranteed the fourth and last instalment of this season's television rights money to creditors.

Subs - Edouard 7, Johnston 6, Bitton 5. KEY MOMENTS 15’ JACK. The Rangers midfielder thought that was heading for the back of the net! Jack caught it flush 20 yards out, but Forster pushed up a hand to make a stunning save! How did he get to that?! 23’ Through Forster! That was close to being the opening goal! Morelos took the shot from a tight angle, there was power on it and it squirmed through Forster, but Hayes makes the clearance from under his own crossbar! 30’ Forster denies Morelos! This is becoming a bit of a duel! Morelos shrugged Ajer off the ball, he looked for an option in the middle, the angle was narrow, but Forster makes the save at his near post from the Colombian! 41’ How many more chances?! That should have been the opener for Rangers! Morelos was played clean through, he got the shot away looking for the far corner, but Forster makes ANOTHER save to deny the Colombian! 53’ Across the face of goal! Inches away from crossing the line! It just won't go in for Rangers! Tavernier's cross to the back post finds Morelos, he stretches to get on the end of it, but his shot flashes across the face of goal! 56’ MORELOS DENIED AGAIN! This is becoming ridiculous.
The players' union told BBC Sport that they consider "necessary first steps" to be BAME representation on the EFL Recruitment Code steering group by January 2021 and "substantive" BAME representation on the boards of the Football Association, EFL, League Managers Association and Premier League for the 2020-21 season.

After Grabban's 17th league goal of the season, the visitors almost grabbed a stoppage-time winner but Adama Diakhaby's shot from the edge of the box was blocked away to safety by Ryan Shotton.

They get paid less than the men's squad despite the vast difference in their performances, and they have also noted the lack of parity in their working conditions.

Bonita Mersiades, a former FFA publicity chief, said it was a "failure". This summary report does nothing to advance knowledge on the matters around that central issue," she said, referring to Stajcic's sacking.

There will be an upset somewhere on FA Cup third round weekend - but who will be the victims?BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson has taken a look at all 32 of this weekend's ties and given his verdict on who might spring a surprise.

Nothing definitive has been agreed but Uefa is keen to leave all options on the table for as long as possible given the general uncertainty across Europe and in the knowledge there is no guarantee the season will be finished. However, there is a view that travel restrictions are more likely to have eased in August, which would be necessary for a cross-border competition. The scenario envisaged would be for the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the respective European competitions to be played as two-legged ties between 11 and 22 August, although these could yet become one-off games.
All things considered, we view backing the Over 2.5 goal line as the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned. The hosts have scored at least once in their last 4 games and should be able to get on the scoresheet on Tuesday, but Zamalek's attacking firepower has been even more impressive in recent matches and we fancy them to notch multiple times once again here in a 2-1 win.

Fans like that don't deserve to be around football," Clarets skipper Ben Mee told BBC Radio 5 Live. We're ashamed, we're embarrassed.

World Cup winners Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan say the US women’s national team will appeal against their defeat in their equal pay lawsuit. Last week, judge Gary Klausner rejected the players' claim that they are underpaid compared to the US men. They had been seeking $66m (£52. US Soccer Federation (USSF) under the Equal Pay Act.
