Jarvis has England ambitions

Jarvis: Recovered from injury

West Ham winger Matt Jarvis hopes playing well regularly for the Hammers will lead to an England recall.

 Jarvis, 26, made his international debut against Ghana last year but has yet to add to that single cap - something he hopes will changes after joining West Ham from Wolves for a club record fee of £10.75million.

Jarvis has so far only made two appearances for Sam Allardyce's side since his summer move due to a thigh injury, but is fit to face Sunderland this weekend at Upton Park.

"You have to play well for your club and play regularly to be called up for your country and that is exactly what I want to do," he told West Ham TV.

"The squad we have is very strong and everyone is fighting for a place in the starting eleven. I am no different and I need to prove myself if I want to be starting week in, week out.

"Unfortunately I picked up a slight thigh injury in training, which has forced me to miss the last couple of weeks, but I am fully recovered now and I am delighted to be back in the squad and back on the pitch."

Despite Jarvis' absence, West Ham have enjoyed a successful start to life back in the Premier League.

The Hammers have picked up two wins and a draw from their four opening matches, with Saturday's 0-0 at Norwich leaving them eighth in the standings.

"I think the manager has got exactly what he wanted with us having a good start and hopefully we can keep the run going this weekend," Jarvis added.

"We had plenty of chances against Norwich and maybe we should have put one of ours away.

"It would have been nice to get the win but it was very hot, which took it out of everyone involved.

"There were a lot of chances for both sides but it didn't fall right for either one. Overall I was just pleased to be involved in the game and happy to be back."

Naughton keen on left-back spot

Kyle Naughton has declared himself the man to fill the void left by Benoit Assou-Ekotto ahead of Tottenham Hotspur's UEFA Europa League opener against Lazio.

Tottenham is still waiting to discover how long left-back Assou-Ekotto will face on the sidelines amid fears he could be ruled out for up to a month.

The 28-year-old missed Andre Villas-Boas' first win in charge at Reading last weekend with a knee problem that may require a 'washout' procedure, ruling him out for around four weeks.

Losing Assou-Ekotto, who has barely missed a match in the last four seasons, would be seen as a blow to Tottenham's hopes of building on its opening Premier League victory this term.

Jan Vertonghen has filled in at left-back numerous times for Belgium but Villas-Boas decided to hand Naughton his full league debut for Tottenham at Reading.

Despite playing out of position, the 23-year-old proved up to the challenge at the Madejski Stadium and was hoping to have done enough to keep his place for Thursday's Europa League glamour clash against Lazio.

"It was great to get the three points and that the gaffer gave me a chance to show what I can do," he told his club's official website, www.tottenhamhotspur.com

"I played at left-back a few times for Norwich [on loan] last season and hopefully now I can carry on playing.

"Towards the end, I was tiring a little and they got in behind us a little but the more games I play, hopefully the stronger I'll get.

"Everyone's been brilliant and I just hope I can carry on now and play in the Europa League."

The Group J match is Tottenham's first ever competitive meeting with Lazio, to which it famously sold Paul Gascoigne20 years ago.

The draw last month prompted the Italian giant to offer to invite the former England midfielder to the reverse fixture inRome on 22 November.

Press Association Sport understands the 45-year-old was also invited to attend this week's match but he was unable to accept for personal reasons.

Gascoigne has struggled to deal with alcohol problems since retirement but his agent said this northern summer that he had embarked on a health drive.

It remains to be seen whether he will attend the game between the sides at the Stadio Olimpico.

Meanwhile, Villas-Boas vowed to take the Europa League seriously ahead of his first match in the competition since winning it with Porto last year.

Harry Redknapp fielded a shadow side last term but Villas-Boas declared he would pick a 'strong team'.

"We want to do something special in this competition," he said.

"This competition is very important.

"It's a tough competition. You have to play 15 games before you reach the final, so it's hard and strenuous and the best teams out of the Champions League are playing.

"It gives access to the European Super Cup and, for me, I always thought it was a prestigious competition and it should be promoted like that because after the Cup Winners' Cup disappeared, it is not only about the Champions League.

"If we can win a trophy, that represents a lot for Tottenham Hotspur's history as well and would be something really special."

Lazio has begun Serie A with a hat-trick of wins and Tottenham's northern summer signing Gylfi Sigurdsson said: "They are a good team.

"It's great to play in Europe and we're looking forward to that game, trying to get off to a good start.

"It will be important to get three points at home."

Maribor seek home help for Dinamo mission

History may not be on their side but with the aid of a packed home stadium, NK Maribor coach Darko Milanič thinks his team can overturn a 2-1 deficit against GNK Dinamo Zagreb.

History may not be on their side but with a packed home stadium behind them, NK Maribor coach Darko Milanič believes his team can overturn a 2-1 deficit against GNK Dinamo Zagreb in their UEFA Champions League play-off.

Maribor's 12,400-capacity Stadion Ljudski vrt has been sold out for a week and Milanič is hopeful that level of support will make a difference to a club who last mounted a successful second-leg fightback in Europe 17 years ago – when beating Skonto FC in the 1995/96 UEFA Cup preliminary round. "We are delighted about the full stadium and our noisy supporters can help us on our way to the Champions League," said Milanič.

Goalkeeper Jasmin Handanovič was equally upbeat about Maribor's prospects at their home ground, where they are unbeaten in 2012 with 11 wins and two draws – including 4-1 victories over FK Željezničar and F91 Dudelange in the earlier qualifying rounds. "It is much easier to prepare for this kind of match if you know that the whole city, everyone around us and practically the whole country is giving you such strong support," he said.

Since succumbing 2-1 in Zagreb last Wednesday, Maribor have had the twin boosts of a 2-0 away success at NK Celje in the Slovene First League and the news that Brazilian striker Tavares has signed a new five-year contract. Milanič said Tavares and his fellow forwards would have to be at their best on Tuesday. "We know that tomorrow we have to score at least one goal and we have to win so we will start out much more focused on attack and our forward play."

Milanič is confident that "Dinamo cannot surprise us with anything" but knowing the visitors' threat – he singled out first-leg match winner Milan Badelj and playmaker Sammir – is one thing, stopping it quite another. Dinamo will be buoyant after Saturday's 6-0 rout of city rivals NK Zagreb, their ninth straight victory, which featured another two goals for the in-form Sammir.

The Brazilian warned Maribor there is more to come. "I believe I will be even better in Maribor. I think we showed in the first game that we are a better team and I expect us to repeat that in Maribor. We are looking for another victory, that's our goal."

Visiting coach Ante Čačić was also full of self-belief as he pointed out that Maribor owed their away goal in Croatia to Badelj finding his own net. "We have every right to be optimistic – after all we scored all three goals in the first match. Maribor didn't score." History says that Dinamo have never lost a knockout tie to Slovenian opposition and Maribor have work to do to change that statistic.

Fletcher submits transfer request

Wolves striker Steven Fletcher has asked to leave the club after Sunderland made a £12m offer for the player on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old

said on Twitter:

“Just handed in a transfer request just to let the fans know where I am at right now…. #headsgone.”

The Black Cats’ bid is thought to be close to Wolves’ valuation.

Fletcher’s former club Burnley will be due 15% of any profit Wolves make on a player they paid £7m for in 2010.

Wolves responded to the tweet with

a club statement:

“Wolves can confirm that Steven Fletcher has handed in an official transfer request.

“The player’s frustration stems from the fact that several bids have been rejected for his services, none of which meets the club’s valuation.

“As previously stated, no player will leave Wolves unless the club’s valuation is met.”

Sunderland are short of attacking options following the departures of Asamoah Gyan and Nicklas Bendtner.

Fletcher has two years remaining on his contract at Molineux, leaving Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey in a strong position to negotiate the best possible deal. O’Neill has made Fletcher, who scored 12 Premier League goals last season, his prime attacking target this summer.

No Sunderland player reached double figures in goals last season, with Bendtner and Stephane Sessegnon the top-scorers with eight.

O’Neill believes Fletcher, who scored seven headers last season, will give Sunderland’s attack much-needed potency.

Fletcher has suffered Premier League relegations with Burnley and Wolves during the past three seasons, but his goals-to-games ratio is better than one in three.

Greece v Germany, the bailout game

When Germany was pitted against Greece in Friday's quarter-final of Euro 2012, the subtext was obvious. And as German journalist Paul Ronzheimer discovers, based in Athens for Bild newspaper, few people are talking about the football.

For almost three years, Greece has been going through one of the worst crises it has ever experienced. Since the 1-0 victory against Russia and the entry into the Euro 2012 quarter-finals, euphoria is in evidence again for the first time.

Of all the teams they could have faced, Greece plays Germany, in the most political match a European tournament has seen for a long time.

The Greeks are looking for payback against the Germans. They feel that a duel between Greece and Germany has been going on for much longer, an unequal duel.

Since the start of the crisis, they think they have been insulted and dictated to by German politicians, as the country has had to introduce sweeping austerity in return for bailout payments. 

They criticise the fact that Chancellor Merkel is sticking to the austerity plan, even though the situation in Greece is worsening and homelessness is on the increase.

The arguments have already escalated to the extent that Ms Merkel has been depicted time and again in an SS uniform on the front page of Greek newspapers.

And over 70% of Greeks now believe that Germany wants to bring in a "Fourth Reich".

On the German side, incomprehension reigns at the Greek reaction to the policies introduced after the crisis, and they refuse to send further billions to a country which is clearly overburdened with the reforms.

Many Germans who in previous years spent their holidays on Greek islands have booked their holidays elsewhere this time.

And now, the football.

One of the few Germans still considered untouchable in Greece is Otto Rehhagel.

He led the Greeks to victory in Euro 2004 and since then has been a popular hero. In an interview with the Bild newspaper, Mr Rehhagel said: "Germany shouldn't underestimate Greece."

In fact, numerous players in the Greek squad have already announced that they will be especially motivated against Germany.

German Otto Rehhagel was revered after masterminding Euro 2004 success

Ahead of the duel, Greece's newspapers have been taking aim at Ms Merkel once again. Hardly anybody is talking about the German team and its footballing abilities.

The Live newspaper quipped: "The referee should give Merkel a fright and toss a drachma coin at the beginning of the match."

And Gata sports newspaper joked: "The first measure that our new government has to push through on the urging of Merkel: we have to lose against Germany on Friday."

The German press has also drawn on the eurozone crisis. Bild newspaper said on Tuesday: "Be happy dear Greeks, the defeat on Friday is a gift. Against Jogi Loew, no rescue fund will help you."

And Berliner Kurier newspaper printed a cartoon depicting a government spokesman telling the German press "our stance on Greece remaining in the eurozone depends entirely upon how the quarterfinal goes".

People in the streets of Athens are also feverishly awaiting the game - and repeatedly drawing parallels with politics. So far, Greece's matches have hardly been accompanied by any big celebrations, but the bars are expected to be full on Friday.

Nikos Petsas, a 56-year-old salesman, says: "I'm worried that a lot of Greeks are confusing politics with sport with this match. I've put money on the Greek team, because we're in a better position psychologically. Our players have lots of fire in their bellies."

Postman Dimitris Tzikas, 46, says: "There are no problems between Germany and Greece. But with the crisis, Mrs Merkel has chosen to break us as a country.

"The Greek players must run and fight against Germany, so we can win the match. For our country it's much more than a football match."

The news that Merkel was going to be sitting in the stands caused much joy among Greek journalists.

They now hope that new Greek PM Antonis Samaras will also travel to Poland to be at the match.

But whatever the outcome, the politicians will still have a crisis to solve. And that's no laughing matter.

Denmark U19 vs Greece U19 Match Preview

Live tonight at 12bet.com UEFA U19 CHAMPIONSHIP Denmark U19 vs Greece U19.

Denmark U19 achieved this level after successful Team 12 in the Determining circular (2-1-0 5-0).The youthful Danes won two of their last three games in this competition (Denmark U19 - Albania U19 1-0 on 05.10.2011 ; The island of malta U19 - Denmark U19 0-4 on 07.10.2011 ; Luxembourg U19 - Denmark U19 0-0 on 10.10.2011) and carries on their excellent efficiency with a 6-2 success over The island of malta U19 in the starting activity of this group.

Last play-off Greece U19 - U19 Cyprus is a game where the team seems to be imposing, yet he seems to be a game with many goals scored. The main reason is that the visiting team suffered a defeat Cyprus U19 6-2 in the previous round. Home team will try to win and get all 3 points as is likely to catch a place that promotes the next round of competitions. I think this is an open game in which you scored 3 goals in the first half and I'm sure the score will be at least 2-1.

Updated Score for UEFA Champions League

With domestic issues finished for both sides, Chelsea and Bayern Munich will go head-to-head in the Champions League final on Saturday.

Suspensions and injuries mean that neither side are likely to have anything close to their best XI on show.

The FA Cup winners finished 6th in the Premier League and will need to win to ensure Champions League football again next season.

Bayern  Munchen vs. Chelsea, I guess since this two teams has the ability and are strong teams, we can’t picture out who will take the championship.

I guess by just simply looking back from their previous fight we can tell who can win.

If Chelsea are to win the Champions League then bookies favour them to do it within the 90 minute mark.

2012 UEFA Europa League Final to Be Contested By Two Blazing Spanish Squads

This year’s Europa League Final between two of Spain’s primary La Liga clubs Atlético Madrid and Athletic Bilbao is a battle that will focus on the traditions of Spanish soccer. Having met one another in local matches for 100 times, the incoming Europa League Final match is the first time both teams will be facing each another in the Europa League.

CHELSEA VS. LIVERPOOL MATCH PREVIEW

With the 1-0 score Liverpool defeated Cottagers which clearly made them to the FA Cup and face their rival team Chelsea.

Liverpool defeat Chelsea twice at Stamford Bridge in Nov, first in the Premier League and then in the Carling Cup quarter-final. However Chelsea are the bookies’ favourites to lift the FA Cup but with Liverpool’s form in knockout competitions far exceeding their league form, the Reds will be optimistic of adding an eighth FA Cup to the club’s trophy cabinet.

Chelsea also rested players in midweek ahead of Saturday’s game; Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard and Juan Mata all started on the bench for Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat at home to Newcastle on Wednesday. Didier Drogba has been on the bench for Chelsea’s last two games, but may start at Wembley unless Roberto Di Matteo keeps faith in ex-Red Fernando Torres. At the back, Branislav Ivanovic may partner John Terry in central defence as David Luiz and Gary Cahill are both still recovering from hamstring injuries.

The game play will be on 5/09/2012 at 3:00 AM GMT+8.

This will gonna be the most out of it game in FA. More exciting and more fun. 

Lets watch the game at 12bet.com live.

Victory masterminded by José Mourinho

José Mourinho may have masterminded a 2-1 victory against FC Barcelona at the weekend, but the Real Madrid CF coach is keen to remind his players that the season "is a marathon and you must always run fast". The next bump in the road comes in the shape of FC Bayern München, who are 2-1 up going into Wednesday's UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg, but coach Jupp Heynckes is only too wary of the threat posed by the Merengues.
