This is not the first time officials have been accused of corruption linked to the Gulf state's bid during the sprawling FBI probe. In 2017 Alejandro Burzaco, a former TV executive, told a jury in New York that Leoz, Teixeira - and the now former Argentina football chief Julio Grondona - had been paid to vote for Qatar, which beat the US in the vote.

The journey across the Oresund Bridge, connecting Copenhagen in Denmark to Malmo in Sweden, takes about 30 minutes by trainWith both sides obliged to take something from the game in order to guarantee progression to the knockout stage, the result on Thursday becomes a de facto referendum on the best way to run a club.
Odds is really amazing on this option in Belgium Pro league and for me, that is more than ok and real option, but we will see what will happen. So, home team or Eupen is team who is in very bad form and their defense is firstly in big problems. In last three matches, this team is lost 1-6, 2-3 and 2-5, so it is pretty natural to expect something similar and this time. Mouscron will surely score here at least two goals and rest will do the home team. As I said, over is ok for me and I will try.
Vivianne Miedema finished as the top scorer in the Women's Super League for the second successive seasonHaving seen her play at Doncaster Belles and during that loan at Liverpool when she did not get a chance at Chelsea, initially, to see her now going toe-to-toe with her team-mate Sam Kerr, who is touted as one of the best forwards in the world, has really made me smile. It is great to see a new star announce themselves in the game, and it is not as if she has just come on to the scene, she has really had to dig deep, and think about how she needed to improve to get the best out of herself, and that is what we're seeing now.

I see the home team commanding this game and continue hoping to continue staying at the top.

Six of their eight wins have come at home and though they have won once at home in the last six matches, the push for survival should motivate them going to this game.

They are a fantastic team, confidence is high. They have become winners and haven't lost many games in the last 18 months. To lose the games they would have to do, they now have got enough players, experience and quality to get the job done.

Early on they were unlucky not to be awarded a penalty when Watkins appeared to be bundled over by Geoff Cameron. Watkins was close to getting on the end of a terrific team move, but was flagged offside, and Cameron deflected the ball just wide of his own post from Josh Dasilva's dangerous low cross.
