Leave a comment

The Kenya Women National Football Team, Harambee Starlets is set to face Ghana in the first leg of their 2020 Olympics Qualifier third-round tie.

Starlets safely landed in Accra on Tuesday ahead of the tie, and have since held three training sessions in preparation for Friday’s match.

“We will try to contain them as much as possible, try to keep a clean sheet and hopefully get an away goal,” said Starlets coach David Ouma.

“With the preparations we have had, I am confident we will get a positive result. The players are motivated and very ready for the challenge,” he added.

Kickoff has been scheduled for Friday, October 4, 2019, starting at 6.30 pm EAT, at the Accra Sports Stadium, with the second leg lined up on Tuesday next week.

The winner on aggregate proceeds to the tournament’s fourth qualifying round, where they will face either of Zambia or Botswana while the fourth round winner will proceed to the fifth and final qualifying round.

The fifth round winner will automatically qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics while the loser will get a lifeline in a playoff against the second-placed team from the South American Confederation.

Recent qualification matches for Euro 2020 turned out to be quite interesting for every football fan. If you want to see Free live score today, just go to our platform, and you will find everything you need.
So, here we will take a look at two more recent matches, such as:
Portugal versus Serbia
France versus Albania

Results of recent qualification matches:

Portugal and France won

The Portuguese team was active and played with energy. Cristiano Ronaldo received quite a mean ‘welcome’ from the Serbian fans, and so the star striker became angry and did his best to beat the team from Belgrad. However, he had bad luck and didn’t score at once. Almost after an hour, William Carvalho and Gonçalo Guesdes scored first two goals.

Then Nikola Milenković from the host team scored a goal for his country as well, and the fans were excited. However, Ronaldo had his revenge and scored the goal number three for the team from Portugal. Then there were two more goals – one for each country, and the Portuguese won with the score 4:2. The new coach of the Serbian national team, Ljubiša Tumbaković, had an unsuccessful debut. We’ll see what his results will be like in the future.

Portugal is a current champion of Europe and the winner of the League of Nations. So, it is certainly interesting, what their games will be like in future.
The national team from France is the world champion, and however, they lost to Turkey in June. And now they try not to fail anymore and play like the real champions they are. Finally, the Stade de France saw its favorite home team playing with success during their match with the Albanians. Before the break, the French scored two goals and earned a penalty.

These are the French players who scored:
1). Kingsley Coman scored two goals – the first and the third ones,
2). Olivier Giraud managed to score the second goal – his 36th goal for the national team,
2). Jonathan Ikoné scored the final goal – his first goal for the national team.

The national team of Albania was able to score a goal as well:

Sokol Cikalleshi made a successful penalty kick.
This match is also known for its scandal involving the hymns of the countries. The organizers mixed them up – the Andorran anthem instead of the Albanian one. And what is more, the stadium announcer apologized for the mistake to Armenia, mixing up countries for the second time. 
Today you can look at free livescore on our website – you will find there all the information you need.

Unexpected dismissal of Farke

Leave a comment

One of the main disappointments of the season 2021/22 of the Premier League is Norwich. It is clear that the team was expected to fight to keep a place in the elite, but it started so poorly that it managed to get its first victory only in the eleventh round. Such football today results could not but affect the fate of the head coach of the team. As a result, Farke was dismissed. It is noteworthy that the management of the Canaries announced their decision after the team finally managed to get the first victory in the campaign.

The disastrous start of Norwich was compared by fans to the performance of Derby County in the season 2007/08. Then the team managed to score a measly 11 points for the entire campaign. Norwich went almost on a similar schedule and even got a victory, but for some reason it was at this moment that the management’s patience snapped, and the coach, who pulled the team out of the Championship twice, was fired.

On the one hand, this decision looks completely reasonable. The club is in deep crisis, and if the necessary measures are not taken right now, it will surely drop out of the elite division. On the other hand, literally a couple of weeks before the dismissal, the management expressed their full support to Farke. Many experts even said that this is a rational decision, which contrasts sharply with what Watford is doing, which changes coaches like gloves. But didn’t the Canaries take too long with the dismissal? And how will this inconsistency affect the team? We will find out the answer on the football field. By the way, it is always easy to follow the club’s performance on the sports statistics website.

Reasons for the team’s failure

The failure of Norwich in the season 2021/22 is a natural consequence of the team’s problems. This is already reflected on its today results football. Thus, the main reasons for failure might be:

  1. Tactical mistakes of the coach. Farke preferred to play open football even with the recognized grandees of the Premier League. It isn’t surprising that in such conditions, defeats with a difference of 3-4 and sometimes even 7 goals became the norm for the team.
  2. Bad shape of many leaders, for example, Krul, Kabak, Norman. They don’t show the level that the fans and the coaching staff were counting on.
  3. Lack of moral and volitional qualities. In fact, Norwich is playing good until the first missed goal. As soon as it happens, the team loses its motivation and stops showing its class. It is very difficult for the club to change events, which are unfortunate for it.

The result was the reasonable last place in the standings. Obviously, this was not expected from the team that played confidently in the Championship and managed to strengthen its positions both in defense and attack during the summer.
