Lions hungry for post-raya victory

Singapore Under-22 striker Ikhsan Fandi is jet-lagged, having arrived from Norway on Tuesday and spending the following day celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri with his family.
But he will again shoulder much of the scoring burden when the side take on the Philippines in the Merlion Cup at the Jalan Besar Stadium tonight.
His father, Fandi Ahmad, who is also the national U-22 coach, has promised to stick to the usual attacking ethos.
"I'm confident in tomorrow's game but the main problem is scoring goals," the 57-year-old said at a media conference at the Copthorne King's Hotel yesterday.
"We need composure in front of goal. I hope he (Ikhsan) carries on his form but he has just arrived, he hasn't had a session with us before and he's jet-lagged.
"Yesterday there were celebrations the entire day until the evening and I think I saw him collapse at the end of the day, so he needs a good rest. We have some restrictions on him but we will manage.
"I'm sure we will attack and my style is that I like to attack. We always play good high-pressing games.
"I think the boys are ready and hopefully, they will do another good showing like in the AFC Under-23 Championship qualifiers. We're looking forward to this."
Singapore were undefeated and scored five goals in their three qualifying matches in March, although they failed to make the tournament proper.
Ikhsan, who has netted four goals in 11 games for Norwegian second-tier club Raufoss this season, told The Straits Times that he will try to replicate his club form for the national side, but "everybody has to play their part" if they are to earn a place in Sunday's final against either Thailand or Indonesia.
The 20-year-old is expecting new team members like Balestier Khalsa's Daniel Goh and Zikos Chua from Geylang International to step up in the tournament.
Ikhsan said: "We have new players now so I think they will bring something new to the team... some new players who might show themselves during this tournament.
"Who knows, they might play a very big part for us."
Zikos, 17, having made his competitive debut for Geylang last year, is eager to make an impression in his first U-22 outing.
"I think they've selected us (youngsters) for a reason and we hope we can try and replicate the good things we've showcased for our clubs and hopefully bring it to the team and try to give our 100 per cent," said Zikos, who has impressed with his aerial presence and link-up play.
"I'm definitely looking forward to the tournament, I think it's going to be a good experience."
While Fandi acknowledged that Thailand and Indonesia have brought under-strength teams for the tournament, he believes the matches will benefit his side's preparations for the Nov 30-Dec 11 SEA Games in the Philippines.
"At the end of the day, the SEA Games is our target and we want to do well. This tournament is the stepping stone for the boys to push the level higher," he said.
While he joked that most of his players may be "3kg up" after the Aidilfitri festivities, he added: "We'll be fine. We'll give a good fight and a good show. I just hope the fans will come, put their celebrations aside to come and support the U-22 boys, give them more motivation and confidence.
"Hopefully, the real lions (the fans) will come and roar for us."

Football: Klopp denies Liverpool's lighter schedule is title advantage

LONDON (AFP) - Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp denied on Friday (Jan 11) that his Premier League leaders will have the upper hand over Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur in the title race despite a lighter schedule after crashing out of both domestic cup competitions.
City trail Klopp's men by four points, with Tottenham two points further back, but both of Liverpool's rivals are still involved in four competitions.
Klopp meanwhile made nine changes for Monday's 2-1 defeat at Wolves in the FA Cup, with his focus on ending the Reds' 29-year wait to win the title, and his team were knocked out of the League Cup by Chelsea back in September.
"There's no advantage. If you have all your players available, it's brilliant that you can always play them, it's really good," said Klopp ahead of Saturday's trip to Brighton.
"We have to use the time. You can do a lot of wrong things when you have a week to train, that's possible.
"We have to use the time and really be, week in and week out, in the best shape we can be."
Dejan Lovren was one of only two players Klopp retained against Wolves from a 2-1 defeat to City in their last Premier League outing, but the Croatian picked up a hamstring injury after just six minutes at Molineux.
Klopp now has a defensive crisis on his hands. Joe Gomez and Joel Matip have also been sidelined in recent weeks, but Matip may be fit in time to return against Brighton.
"It's quite special if you would bet on having three centre-halves injured in the same moment - you could win a lot of money for that because usually it doesn't happen.
"Here it happened, it was a bit of bad luck. That makes it quite a bit tricky."

LIVERPOOL INJURIES

Klopp reiterated his belief that Lovren's injury is a justification for why he was right to rest players such as Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino against Wolves after a hectic fixture list over the festive season.
"We had to make changes for the Wolves game. The players we didn't line up in that game were either a little bit injured, or injured, or played all the games in December, plus the City game at the beginning of January.
"Bringing them again in that moment, as you saw with Dejan, who played pretty much all these games as well, is a risk - it's a proper risk."
Defeat at City on Jan 3 was Liverpool's first in the league this season and Firmino stressed the importance of bouncing back immediately at Brighton to not give champions City another chance to cut the gap when they host Wolves on Monday.
"That's what the Premier League is all about - it's intensely competitive. If the team at the top stutters, the second place will overtake them," the Brazilian told Liverpool's website.
"We know we can't go to sleep and lose silly points. We must maintain our focus until the end of the season."

Football: Palace climb away from troube with 3-1 win at Burnley

BURNLEY, England (REUTERS) - Crystal Palace moved further away from the Premier League relegation zone with a 3-1 win at fellow strugglers Burnley on Saturday (March 2) thanks to second half goals from Michy Batshuayi and Wilfried Zaha.
Palace took the lead in the 15th minute when Jeffrey Schlupp's pull-back struck Burnley defender Phil Bardsley and ricocheted into his own goal.
Burnley dominated the rest of the opening half with Chris Wood forcing a fine reflex save out of Wayne Hennessey with a fierce shot and the Clarets peppering the Palace box with crosses from deep.
But three minutes after the re-start, Palace struck again when full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka's pass was blasted home, first-time, by Batshuayi.
Ashley Barnes then missed a good chance to pull a goal back for the home side, putting the ball over from two metres out, as Burnley continued to press.
The game followed a similar pattern to the first half with Burnley on top but lacking an edge in the final third.
Palace, as often on the road, were a constant threat on the counter-attack and should have had a third when a mistake from Ben Mee put Batshuayi through but he pushed the ball too far when trying to round Burnley keeper Tom Heaton.
The game was wrapped up in outstanding fashion by Zaha who tormented the Burnley defence, twisting inside and out, before firing a low shot past Heaton.
A Barnes header gave Burnley a late consolation goal and although subtitute Peter Crouch went close to a second, Palace's lead was never in real danger.
The South London side are now eight points above the relegation zone and manager Roy Hodgson was well pleased with the showing.
"That was a very satisfying performance, it's never easy to win at Burnley. They are in good form and we knew the type of problems they would pose and did post but we dealt with them extremely well," said the former England manager.
Burnley manager Sean Dyche said his side's failure to deliver quality in crucial moments was the key factor.
"It's confusing when you look at the stats - the stats make it look like a good performance - but we know stats don't win games," he said.
Burnley are in 16th place, five points above Cardiff City who occupy the highest spot in the relegation zone.

Football: Everton bounce back with 5-1 rout of Burnley

BURNLEY, England (REUTERS) - Everton ended their five-game winless run in emphatic fashion by drubbing relegation-threatened Burnley 5-1 at Turf Moor on Wednesday (Dec 26) as they bounced back from their humiliation against Tottenham Hotspur in real style.
Everton, thrashed 6-2 at home by Spurs on Sunday, were 3-0 up inside 22 minutes against a poor Burnley side who face a long battle against relegation.
French left-back Lucas Digne scored twice for the Merseysiders who showed no signs of any lasting damage from their heavy loss.
"After Sunday we needed to prove that we can win and play very well. It was an important win for club and the fans," said former Barcelona wing-back Digne.
"We needed to start very well and after 30 minutes we were 3-0 up and it was fantastic. We feel good".
It took less than two minutes to grab the lead when the unmarked Yerry Mina headed in a cross from the left by Brazilian winger Bernard.
A curling Digne free kick beat Burnley keeper Joe Hart to double the lead in the 13th minute and nine minutes later Everton were 3-0 up.
Burnley defender Ben Mee handled the ball, rising for a header in a crowded penalty area, and referee Michael Oliver awarded a spot-kick which Gylfi Sigurdsson confidently converted.
Sean Dyche's side pulled a goal back eight minutes before the break when a James Tarkowski header was pushed off the line by Jordan Pickford and Ben Gibson hooked the ball home.
Burnley had a great chance to narrow the gap further after the break but Tarkowski missed the target from close-range.
Burnley's labour towards an attempted comeback came to nothing after Digne made it 4-1 with a low drive from outside the box in the 71st minute.
Brazilian Richarlison, rested with a start on the bench, completed the rout in stoppage time, collecting a fine through pass from Sigurdsson before slipping the ball home.
Everton manager Marco Silva praised his players and the club's supporters for the way they reacted to the defeat to Spurs.
"The fans welcomed our players before the match, which is fantastic after a tough result on Sunday and the players as well, they deserve this," said the Portuguese manager.
"I think the best solution to the last result was to play as quickly as you can, luckily for us we played after three days.
"They showed they are here to fight, to compete and to show the ambition we have as a club" he said.
Burnley boss Dyche said his team had been clearly second best.
"They started much brighter, much sharper with more energy. They were the better side and deserved to win," he said.
The result leaves Burnley inside the relegation zone in 18th place - above only Huddersfield and Fulham.
"The margins are super fine; the challenge this season is we haven't kept the margins tight. There's a number of reasons why, but there's no excuse. We are where we are and we don't overly deserve to be better than where we are," said Dyche.

TOKYO (REUTERS) - Asian shares and Wall Street stock futures turned negative on Wednesday (Feb 27) after Pakistan said it had shot down two Indian jets in its territory, sending investors out of riskier markets and into more conservative choices such as the yen.

Cincinnati had been unable to convert chances in the top of the ninth, 10th and 11th innings after it stranded a combined five runners on base in the last three innings of a 2-1 loss to the Cubs on Sunday. "A real frustrating game," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "It was just really a chance to have a better finale with this series.

Football: Infantino says he has wide support for 48-team World Cup in Qatar

DOHA (REUTERS) - Fifa president Gianni Infantino said on Thursday (Dec 13) that a majority of national soccer federations were in favour of expanding the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to 48 teams.
Infantino said a decision would be made by March, although it was still not clear whether an enlarged tournament would be feasible as it would be "difficult" to stage in Qatar alone.
Qatar has been locked in a bitter dispute with Gulf neighbours Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain that has complicated the prospect of sharing matches in an expanded tournament.
Those countries, as well as Egypt, began a diplomatic and trade boycott of Qatar in June 2017, accusing it of supporting terrorism. Qatar denies the claims.
Fifa last year voted to increase the size of the tournament from 32 to 48 teams starting from 2026 but, since then, Infantino has been mulling the possibility of bringing the change forward to 2022.
"We gathered the opinions as well of our members, the federations," he told reporters.
"So far, of course, the majority are in favour because 16 more teams participating not only means that 16 more countries will have World Cup fever, but 50 or 60 countries will be able to dream of qualifying for the World Cup.
"Whether it is feasible or not is a different question."
Infantino said it was unlikely that Qatar, which has been planning for a 32-team tournament since it was awarded hosting rights in 2010, could manage 16 extra teams on its own.
"Is it feasible to do it only in Qatar? Difficult probably," he said, adding that he did not want to share details of discussions with Qatar with the media.
"Is it feasible to have a few games played in neighbouring countries? Maybe this is an option.
"Of course, I'm not naive enough to not know and read the news, and what's going on, but we are in football not in politics and in football sometimes dreams come true."
Infantino said a decision needed to be made by March because the draw for the qualifying competition is in the summer.
He said that, even with 16 additional teams, Fifa was committed to playing the tournament in the original 28-day period "because it was a difficult enough process to decide to move the World Cup to November or December."
He denied that it was too late to make the change.
"For those who think it's late, I've been told that the decision to move the World Cup in 1998 to 32 teams from 24 in 1994 was also taken only four years in advance so there is already a precedent," he said.

Football: Czechs beat Montenegro 3-0 for second straight win in Euro qualifying

OLOMOUC, CZECH REPUBLIC (REUTERS) - Czech Republic eased to a 3-0 win over Montenegro helped by an own goal and a penalty in the second half on Monday (June 10) as they claimed a second consecutive win in Euro 2020 qualifying.
The victory moved the Czechs level on six points with Group A leaders England, who beat them 5-0 at Wembley in their opening match and have a game in hand having played only twice.
The Czechs opened the scoring against Montenegro in the 18th minute when Jakub Jankto slammed a left-foot volley into the net from a tight angle after Pavel Kaderabek sent over a deep cross.
Their lead was doubled just after the break when Boris Kopitovic deflected Patrik Schick's cross into his own goal after the forward had rounded a defender.
Schick got the third with a penalty in the 82nd which he smashed home after being sent sprawling in the area.
Montenegro - who fired Serbian coach Ljubisa Tumbakovic on Saturday (June 8)after he pulled out of Friday's qualifier against Kosovo which they drew 1-1 - have two points along with Bulgaria, who conceded an added-time goal in a 3-2 home defeat by the Kosovans, who are third with five points.
