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 channel added that Van Basten's wages for the week would be donated to the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation.
The Saudi government claims the broadcaster has "abused its dominant position through several monopolistic practices". Premier League lawyers have been assessing the proposed Newcastle takeover deal for three months. The league's owners and directors' test looks into the background of prospective club owners. The UK government has been urged to block the takeover - which is 80% financed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund - until it investigates alleged TV piracy in the country.
At the time, I felt like we'd really let ourselves down and I took responsibility for the group's performance on the night. So I have no regrets for what I said on the night. I also have to speak to a fanbase that is worldwide and I think they would want me to be honest, pointed and authentic in the way I speak. So I don't want to sit here and change my ways. My door is always open. If [a player] isn't happy then we can discuss it and analyse the situation.

Eventually Sterling scored, but it was all a bit bewildering, particularly for the fans at the stadium. It's not a new discussion, but it completely affected the flow of the first half and improvements need to be made if it is going to be effectively deployed in English football without regular outrage.
Giggs said he was “comfortable” playing on the right, though he has more recently spoken of his irritation at not being picked in the centre of midfield. The team that Ferguson picked was a bespoke solution to a bespoke problem. Indeed, in his first three Champions League finals at United, he picked an XI that had never played together before, and would never do so again.
Under Pearson, they have taken 13 from 18. They have beaten Manchester United and Wolves, and secured 3-0 victories over relegation rivals Aston Villa and Bournemouth. Most importantly, they are now one point above the bottom three, less than a month after their Premier League obituary was being drafted. No wonder their fans sang the theme tune to The Great Escape after the New Year's Day win over Wolves.
If the ban is upheld by Wada's executive committee at a meeting in Paris on 9 December, and backed by the Court of Arbitration should Russia contest it, it would not include the European Championship as Uefa is not defined as a 'major event organisation' in regards to rulings on anti-doping breaches. Russia's participation in qualification for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar would, however, be under threat.
Watford celebrate their first goal against Manchester UnitedReuters KEY MOMENTS 34’ - CHANCE! After some pinball in midfield, the ball drops for Martial and he releases Lingard, who runs through on goal and chips Foster, but also chips the crossbar and sees the ball land on the roof of the net. GOAL! Watford 1-0 Man United (Sarr).
After a long break from the epidemic, the Danish league has officially returned. In it, Silkeborg will continue the journey of escape from his death. After 24 rounds, Silkeborg is ranked bottom of the table with only 15 points.
They had chances to score at Anfield - Sarr's fluffed attempt in the first half a huge miss, as he completely mishit a rebound from Gerard Deulofeu's dangerous cross. Deulofeu, who got in behind a few times down the left, threw his arms up in frustration behind the goal as the Kop jeered before the ball had even gone out of play. Those chances rarely come around again at Anfield but Deulofeu himself had one early in the second half, which he hit straight at Liverpool keeper Alisson.
When Frank Lampard meets his old mentor Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, the stage will be overloaded with sub-plots. Chelsea manager Lampard is suddenly struggling to maintain a place in the top four after one win in six Premier League games, and they were beaten 2-0 at home by Manchester United on Monday. Spurs, who closed to within four points of Chelsea after their 3-2 win at Aston Villa, have seen their optimism punctured - first by Son Heung-min joining Harry Kane as a long-term injury absentee, then when RB Leipzig left their Champions League hopes in jeopardy with victory in the last-16 first leg at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The 653 players seeking help in 2019 was up from 438 in 2018 - and if the rest of 2020 follows the same pattern as the first three months of the year nearly 1,200 would end up using their services. With social distance measures in place, the PFA has been putting sessions for players on Skype and Zoom to ensure they still have access to whatever support they need. We've also put a questionnaire out to all of our members asking about their mental health and how they've been coping over the last two weeks and whether they want or need support," added Bennett, a former Charlton Athletic and Brentford winger.
Tottenham were one of the first Premier League clubs to furlough staff in response to the coronavirus pandemic, with Levy warning that "people need to wake up to the enormity" of the crisis. There are suggestions that because of financial worries, Levy would sanction Kane's sale if the fee was in the region of the world record £200m Paris St-Germain paid Barcelona to sign Brazil forward Neymar in 2017.
The presence of Messi has for a long time masked an ineffective transfer strategy and mishandled finances. Just yesterday Santos put in a claim for failed contractual obligations over the Neymar transfer, and Messi can leave in the summer for free. It appears they are doing all they can to force his hand, probably by accident.

We are working towards something," Lampard said. It doesn't come easy. We have seen that with other teams in recent years. It is step by step. We have shown lots of good stuff this year but we have to focus on the three finals we have - two league games and Arsenal in the FA Cup. Three games won't define the progress we have made but we are at the business end.

For all the flowing football that head coach Graham Potter has introduced, he has now overseen just one win from the past 14 games in all competitions. A wider concern for Potter and his players is that they can hardly take solace from the home games in front of them as the season draws to its conclusion. Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City are Brighton's next four home opponents, with trips to Wolves and Leicester also on the horizon.

Callum Hudson-OdoiGetty Images The idea that games could be watched on television has led to some criticism, as without further restrictions fans could assemble outside games or crowd into pubs, further exposing themselves to potential infection. Suspend the league to restart later Of course, the option that appears almost inevitable now is that the league will have to be suspended, perhaps indefinitely.
I believe that the guests started believing in their chances to promote as lately they have beaten some top teams like Zizkov with 1-0 on the road and next 3 games were with over 3.5 goals scored in them as they first drew at home 2-2 with top team in this league Hradec Kralove, well not exactly top team but one of the promotion candidates, than Chrudim visited relegation troubled Vysehrad and were very attacking minded as they scored 3 goals and won with 3-1, but their last game was the cherry on top as they defeated Jihlava with 4-3 at home.
It’s a huge deal having a team from the Segunda Division in the last four of the Copa del Rey. Spanish football expert and co-host of the Spanish Football Podcast Phil Kitromilides tells Eurosport. It is an atypical Copa del Rey because of the format which has helped produce plenty of shocks. There are some people suggesting that because none of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Valencia or Sevilla etc have made it that there could be a lack of interest, “But because there have been so many shocks and games with incredible drama, I think the imagination of the public has definitely been caught.
Hosts finished 2nd in the league last season and guests finished 3rd in the league both collecting most of their points from home games mainly, Ventspils won both games at home against RFS even by more than one goal difference while the hosts from RFS at home against this opponent in their first game won with ease 2-0 and near the ending of the season when the game did not really matter that much they won with just 2-1 but a win it was for them.

The away side have won their last two games, which sees them on the up going into this clash. Despite that, they’re coming into this clash after a season of struggle. The visitors have had their troubles away from home, losing six of their nine away games this season. Strasbourg have scored just 0.56 goals per game on the road in Ligue 1, which could lead to trouble here.
But without that key date on when we can come back, it is still in flux. We are navigating as well as we can and finding balance between players being well in themselves and equally keeping them zoned in. Uefa provided an update on plans to finish the 2019-20 season to all its 55 national associations at a video conference on Tuesday. Some leagues - including Germany and Denmark - are talking optimistically about a resumption next month, while others - England among them - believe it will be June at the earliest before they can play games, and some Premier League clubs feel it will be longer than that.

However, as Arteta has been at pains to point out in the early weeks of his tenure, the Gunners are a work in progress and one that will not necessarily improve at lightning pace. But the obvious negatives were outweighed by the positives he can take from the game - not least the continued impressive displays of some of his young players and the ongoing potency of Aubameyang. It was somewhat surprising to see 18-year-old wing-back Saka initially left out, but an injury to Sead Kolasinac meant he was unleashed early on, and he quickly made his presence felt with a wicked curling cross for the opener.
With Brentford and fourth-placed Nottingham Forest both in form following the resumption, the Baggies were under pressure to get their automatic promotion bid back on track. Wednesday started the brighter and were sharp in possession, yet did not make the most of their set-piece opportunities in the first half - with Connor Wickham heading into the side-netting from a corner. Having gone four games without scoring, the visitors were given the perfect opportunity to end their struggles in front of goal when Moses Odubajo dragged Dara O'Shea down from Pereira's free-kick.
He looks like one for the future. For Liverpool, life - or in this case defeats - come at you quick. Liverpool have now lost three games - to Atletico Madrid, Watford and Chelsea - in two weeks.

Meanwhile, Juventus have always progressed to the next round when facing French clubs in the knockout stages of the competition (4/4). LyonLyon have reached the knockout stages of the Champions League more times than any other French club (11).
We don't think that Sergio's side will be quite good enough to overcome a Sevilla side who go into this fixture unbeaten in seven across all competitions; however we think Pucela can hold Sevillistas to a 1-1 draw, with under 2.5 goals also forecasted.

The new-look 24-team Club World Cup, the brainchild of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, would be the biggest so far, taking place across eight Chinese cities, and including eight teams from Europe with six from South America.

Two minutes later, Bayern sliced open the Cologne defence with incisive passing and Coman placed his shot under Horn. It got worse for the hosts when a corner flew over the Cologne area and landed at the feet of Gnabry, who took it past a defender and drilled his shot into the bottom corner. Bayern, who were sixth in early December, had 18 shots on goal in the first half and could easily have doubled their tally as Gnabry and Joshua Kimmich hit the Cologne woodwork and Thomas Mueller scooped another effort over the crossbar.
