Their kits were designed and made by American denim giants Levi's. Boca Juniors 1981 This shirt screams Diego Maradona. It was the first shirt to feature Boca's four-star crest alongside their famous blue and gold colours. Adidas pulled it out of the bag with this one by producing a shirt that is still sought after almost four decades later. Belgium 1984 Although the 1984 European Championships were forgettable for the Belgians, who didn't make it out of the group, this shirt lives long in the memory.
And when the Premier League's players finally walk out again, there will be a reference to another pressing matter in this current climate, as shirt names will be replaced with the words "Black Lives Matter" for the first 12 matches of the re-started season, in solidarity with protests over the death of George Floyd in America and the fight to eradicate racial prejudice. For the media present there will be no long build-up to the games, no long discussion of a great match.

It was not to be but Oxford can take real pride from the resilience they showed here and now they can turn their attention back to their top priority, namely promotion to the Championship. Manager Robinson is struggling for numbers after the departure of Shandon Baptiste and Tariqe Fosu to Brentford on transfer deadline day but there is real talent within his squad and this is a developing side. Oxford are currently eighth in League One, three points off the play-off places, and now it is back to business on that front as they travel to Peterborough United, who are third in the table, on Saturday.
Early on in his time there, he sustained an adductor injury, but decided not to tell anyone because he was so worried that he might be dropped and have to return home. It could've been the end of my career," he says. When he finally had an operation the surgeon who operated on him said the injury "was extremely inflamed", and that he'd "rarely seen such a bad sports hernia".

I don't need to speak to him because he's an intelligent guy. He's very professional and it's obvious that I did it not to punish because he was playing exactly the same as the others. Belgium international Vertonghen, who joined Spurs in 2012 from Ajax, has made 26 appearances in all competitions for Spurs this season. De Mul says that while no agreement has yet been reached, the "door is still open" for a new deal with the club.
It’s not that United were battered by Bayern. They weren’t even outplayed. They had more possession, more corners and more shots on target. But their touches were slightly heavy, their decision making slightly awry and their tempo well below the usual quick-quick-quicker approach. Tyldesley summarised it neatly when he said, late in the first half, that United were “creating openings rather than chances”.
But never underestimate how knowledgeable many football fans who devoutly follow their team are. By tapping into that expertise, having multiple contributors per team, it shouldn't really be a huge surprise that the end result is a valuable resource. Players send videos of them racing each other' "On your marks, get set. It is not just professional clubs who take the database seriously. Jacobson recalls professional players sending mobile phone footage of them racing one another in a bid to boost their speed attributes.
Storm Dennis battered the country this weekend but five fixtures still managed to offer plenty of drama in the Scottish Premiership. While Motherwell and St Mirren will need to go again in the league on another date, this round of fixtures witnessed Celtic and Rangers edging out victories while Hearts' plight continues to be a concern. Here are the top takeaways from the weekend's action.

I just thought they could have made the teams a little stronger to compete on both fronts. A clear own goal' - what you saidCoach Johnny D: Why is the FA incapable of working out simple solutions?

Pochettino was one of the leading contenders for the United job when Jose Mourinho was sacked in December but the club appointed Solskjaer on an interim basis instead, and named the Norwegian permanent manager in March. Ole is a great guy and he has the club's interests at heart so there's not a better person for the job in my opinion," Rashford told Sky Sports.
Imagine Liverpool without Salah and Mane for four months. We are improving in some aspects even without these players. This is a team that couldn't win an away match in the Premier League when I arrived. For one year it couldn't cope with certain matches and certain atmospheres and certain styles of play. Our results away are not phenomenal but we have three victories and three draws. There are things that are very difficult to change, especially the mentality, but I loved their mentality [against Burnley].
Celtic have scored in 43 of their 45 competitive matches this season. Copenhagen have only scored more than one goal once in their last ten European matches. Copenhagen have only lost one of their 17 home matches in normal time. One of the more impressive teams to make it through the Europa League group stage, Celtic topped a group featuring Lazio.

75% of Frankfurt’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals and 62% have seen both teams score, while 50% of Guimaraes’ away games have produced over 2.5 goals and 83% have seen both teams score, all of which back up our prediction for a 2-1 Frankfurt victory. Frankfurt have only kept clean sheets in 25% of their home games and Guimaraes are yet to keep a clean sheet in the road but have scored in each of their last five away matches in the Primeira Liga. A majority of Frankfurt’s wins this season have been obtained with a one-goal margin, three to be exact, and that is why we have decided to go with a narrow 2-1 scoreline in their favour on Thursday.
The visitors took the lead a minute before half time when defender Carlos Rodriguez could only bundle a goal bound shot into his own net. But their lead last just seconds, as Stefan Medina brought down a free kick and side-footed the ball under goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa from six meters out. America had Sebastian Cordova sent off for a bad challenge eight minutes into the second half but just when it looked like Monterrey would fail to take advantage Funes Mori popped up to volley in a spectacular overhead kick from around 15 meters out.
Leicester have failed to win four of their last six Premier League away games. Watford have won four of their last six Premier League home games.

RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund will tussle on Saturday in a game that should go some way to deciding who is the best runner-up. Dortmund currently hold second place, leading Leipzig, in third, by four points. Leipzig will be looking over their shoulder at Gladbach, who are a further three points behind.
Ireland have won three of their last four games against Wales. Wales haven't won in Dublin since 2015. Ireland are ranked four points above their opponents. Ireland had a narrow home win over Scotland in the first week of the 2020 Six Nations Championship. It was a game they could have lost if not for a schoolboy error by Scotland's Stuart Hogg.
The late concession meant Derby have conceded in each of their last four matches. One clean sheet in their last six matches doesn’t paint a very good picture of their defence and they will want to improve on that here. They have conceded two or more goals in four of their last six matches. They however have a better run at home, having gone unbeaten in six matches, winning five.

British media reported Aubameyang could leave the Emirates Stadium in search of Champions League football next season, with his current Arsenal deal expiring in 2021.

I think it is time that home team is began to play better than it was the case so far in league. So, Shakhtar Soligorsk is have excellent team, but they are not started too good this season, even their ambitions are pretty big again. Last season, this team is won second place and this time, they are want title in league. Slutsk is playing excellent and in last away match, they are won in one fantastic duel, 3-2. I believe that we will see goals on both sides in this match, so I will try that. Over 2,25 is ok.
Manager Gareth Southgate says he is "tremendously proud" of how his England players have spoken out on racism and campaigned for charity in recent times. Raheem Sterling and Tyrone Mings have both voiced their opinions on the Black Lives Matters movement. Jordan Henderson led a players' initiative to raise money for the NHS, while Marcus Rashford has worked with a charity that helps feed children. Southgate said he has "great admiration for the maturity they are showing".
These two sides met in 2017 for a Taca da Liga tie in Lisbon which saw the hosts Benfica claim a comfortable 4-0 win but Vizela head into Saturday’s lastest encounter as the form favourites with five wins and a draw from their last six matches.

A run of four matches without a win was finally put to an end midway through last month and now Sivasspor have back-to-back victories under their belt. They need to have momentum on their side to take on a Galatasaray side on an eight-game winning streak. The most high-profile Galatasaray victory in that sequence was their 3-1 triumph at Fenerbahce, one of several defeats that appears to have knocked Fener out of title contention.
It would be “a national embarrassment” if the top two divisions of English football are not completed, says Leeds chief executive Angus Kinnear. Leeds are top of the Championship by a point as they target a first return to the top flight since 2004. The Championship and Premier League are targeting a return in June, but a resumption date is yet to be confirmed. The time has come to stop repeatedly framing the challenges and start delivering on the solution,” he said.
At club level, the European Club Association (ECA) has often spoken of reducing the size of first divisions which include up to 20 teams in several larger countries. Axing domestic cups may be an attractive proposition in countries such as Italy, where the Coppa Italia is actively designed to avoid upsets, but less so in other countries where they are still seen as a chance for giant-killing.
