It's fair to say when Wales are at home, they've got an extra threat, said the former Swansea City boss. A while ago, a friend asked the Warm-Up the following question: if we'd been a professional footballer, and over our career we'd scored precisely one goal, what kind of goal would we like to have scored? At the time we couldn't decide between something brilliant like Maradona's second goal against England and something funny like Maradona's first goal against England, but looking back, both answers were wrong. The correct answer was something like this … To see these two giants say we want to do something significant, specific to the culture of football, that says we are watching, we care, we want to do something - that really resonated with me. Fears of a repeat performance after half-time when a penalty was awarded against Ben Johnson for tripping Marco Grull inside the West Ham penalty area were calmed when referee Tobias Stieler overturned his decision once he had watched the VAR review monitor. United were as good at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as they were bad in last weekend's 5-0 drubbing against Liverpool at Old Trafford, as they benefitted immeasurably from deploying a 3-5-2 formation to beat Spurs 3-0 and lift the pressure on under-fire manager Solskjaer. Winning the FA Cup is a trophy, and they've not won one in a long time, but at the same time, the owners will be quietly sat there thinking we've brought you in to finish in the top four. Messi fumes at officialsMessi accused the referee of bias after Argentina crashed out. The 32-year-old told reporters: They were not better than us. The manager made six changes for the trip to Poland and left many of his big-name stars on the bench. Havertz came close to doubling Chelsea's lead in the early stages of the second half as his dinked effort beat the goalkeeper but hit the frame of the goal. Bamba, 36, is reunited with Middlesbrough manager Neil Warnock, who he played under as Bluebirds captain when they won promotion from the Championship in 2018. It felt as if he was getting closer to that possibility on December 5, when Luke Ayling and Patrick Bamford returned after long lay-offs against Brentford, only for five key players to be ruled out of action for the foreseeable future just days later. It was a reminder of the quality Antonio Conte has to call upon and the Italian made a point of highlighting the options those two players in particular give him. Modric has four assists in 12 games this season while Marcelo has only been used sparingly by Ancelotti. Pablo Ganet's 38th-minute strike ensured Equatorial Guinea finished second in Group E and progressed, but Sierra Leone might have gone through as one of the best third-placed finishers if they had forced a draw. The five football associations have come to a collective decision after what the FA called an extensive feasibility study based on the economic impact, the political football landscape and likely costs of hosting the tournament - and with a UEFA deadline of March 23 to submit applications looming fast. Having won nine and lost just one of their last 11 home league fixtures against this opposition, they will be confident of picking up where they left off with an important victory here. Not a chance. How things evolve in football and how they evolve with Wales. It did on Wednesday against Turkey as Wales produced chance after chance. This is an incredibly hard game to call because you don't know what damage it has done internally at Man Utd. Chelsea are offered at 2/9 (1.22) by bet365 to claim their sixth home win this term, with the draw at 11/2 (6.50). It was St Mirren's only shot on target in the entire game, but proved enough to secure a dogged and deserved victory.
