SHE WON SILVER AND BRONZE MEDAL AT THE OLYMPICS IN BRAZIL NOW SHE HAS SIGNED THE PAPERS TO GET HER KILLED.

Her name is Marieke Vervoort.

Go to a restaurant in this pretty Belgian town, and all the diners know her. They come over to congratulate her on winning two medals at the 2016 Rio Paralympics; she raises a glass to a family celebrating a birthday.

For a few hours, she's the life and soul of the party.

But, at 37, the Belgian wheelchair racer suffers such pain she wakes her neighbours by screaming in the night. As she watches her precious, fiercely defended independence dwindling, she has planned her own death.

Euthanasia is legal in Belgium, and eight years ago Vervoort signed the papers which will, eventually, allow a doctor to end her life. It's not that she wants to die. She wants to live. But she wants to live on her terms

She was just 14 when the diagnosis was made and gradually her life became "a constant battle".

In spite of it, she achieved a distinguished career in wheelchair racing, winning 100m gold and 200m silver in the 2012 London Olympics, and now a silver medal in Rio.

But the punishing training schedule is proving too hard. This was her last Paralympics, she confirmed, making her Rio achievement bitter-sweet.

"It's a feeling of 'Yes, I won a silver medal'", she told the BBC. "But there is also another side to the medal, the side of suffering and of saying goodbye to the sport. Because I love the sport, sport is my life."

The possibility of euthanasia gave her the courage to keep going as long as she has, she says, adding that euthanasia must not be characterised as "murder."

"It gives a feeling of rest to people," she says. "I know when it's enough for me, I have those papers."

WILLIAN RETURNS, MATIC REMAINS: IF CONTE PICKS THIS 3-4-3 CHELSEA XI THEN THEY WILL SURELY DESTROY MAN CITY

The games keep on coming for Antonio Conte and Chelsea…

Last weekend’s clash against Tottenham will live long in the memory of Chelsea fans, given that it was a game of such important against a side that has built quite the rivalry with Chelsea over the last few years.

An impressive Victor Moses goal in the second-half sealed the points for Antonio Conte’s men – but the Italian will have no time to rest on his laurels.

Up next is a tough trip to the Etihad, where Conte faces his stiffest test yet – a game against Premier League favourites Man City.

The Guardiola-led side have done well this year, and some are already touting this game as a title decider.

With so much riding on the game, it is absolutely essential that Antonio Conte picks the right team on Saturday – and we’re expecting a change or 2.

With that said, if Conte picks this 3-4-3 Chelsea XI then they will surely destroy Man City

GK – THIBAUT COURTOIS

Thibaut Courtois has been in a rich vein of form over the last few weeks – and he appears to be finally living up to the hype.

He will need to be on form.

 CB – DAVID LUIZ

What a revelation David Luiz has been!

He is the most important man in this defence, and Conte will be hoping that his regular mistakes don’t rear their ugly head.

CB – GARY CAHILL

Chelsea’s captain in the absence of John Terry.

A good performance will be needed.

CB – CESAR AZPILICUETA

Cesar Azpilicueta is the most consistent man in the Chelsea first team.

There is nothing to worry about when he’s in the side.

LWB – MARCOS ALONSO

Marcos Alonso has looked good so far, but he will need to be on form to deal with Man City’s rampaging attack.

Can he handle it? We think he can…

CM – N’GOLO KANTE

This will be N’Golo Kante’s toughest test yet.

He will need to be all over Sergio Aguero in order to stop the deadly forward.

CM – NEMANJA MATIC

A strong performance against Tottenham proved his position in the side was justified – and a repeat performance will be needed.

 RWB – VICTOR MOSES

How good was Victor Moses last week?

He scored the winner and is sure to start this week.

LW – EDEN HAZARD

Eden Hazard is a man bang in form – but he needs to start turning up in the big games.

The clash against Man City is a perfect time to start.

ST – DIEGO COSTA

Diego Costa was unbelievable last week.

His display deserved a goal, but his hold up and transitional play were essential.

A repeat performance please, Diego.

RW – WILLIAN

Pedro doesn’t deserve to be dropped, but the offensive threat of Man City means that Willian could return.

He is a hard worker, and Man City are seriously good going forward. Pedro isn’t as defensively minded as the Brazilian – so this one makes a lot of sense.

Deal Close – Manchester United Agree To Sign $67.6million Super Star! this January

Deal Close – Manchester United Agree To Sign $67.6million Super Star!

Atletico de Madrid defender and top Manchester United target, Jose Gimenez has reportedly asked for a move away from Spain after a reported spat with manager, Diego Pablo Simeone as reported by Spanish source, Don Balon. The report further states that a meeting has also been held with the players agent.

Jose Gimenez picked up an injury in late September and was deemed fit to play against in the El derbi Madrileno (Madrid Derby). Despite being available for selection, Gimenez was not selected for the game. Stefen Savic started the game in the heart of the Atletico de Madrid defense alongside, Diego Godin.

The decision did not work out well for Diego Simeone, as Savic’s errors costed Atletico de Madrid two goals. Savic deflected Ronaldo’s freekick into the goal for the opener and later conceded a penalty when he fouled Ronaldo inside the penalty area on a one on one situation.

The 21 year old defender joined Atletico Madrid back in 2013 and has cemented his place at the heart of the Atletico Madrid back line last season after the departure of Brazillian defender, Miranda.

It was being claimed last season that Atletico Madrid would struggle defensively after they lost Miranda to Inter Milan, but Jose Gimenez’s presence in defense along with Diego Godin has helped Atletico form a formidable defensive back line. Atletico Madrid were successful in defeating Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League with the help of solid defensive performances over the course of 4 matches.

Manchester United are also keen on signing the highly rated defender to add solidity to their back line which has not been up to the level this season under Jose Mourinho. Mourinho has also been linked to signing several other defenders, but Manchester United’s prime target remains Gimenez.

The La Liga winning defender is valued at around £54million ($67.6million) by his current employees and it would be no surprise if Manchester United get ready to splurge such a huge chunk of money on a defender.

MATCH PREVIEW CHELSEA VS LIVERPOOL - PREDICTED LINEUPS WITH CHANGES AND EXPERT PREDICTIONS

   MATCH PREVIEW CHELSEA VS LIVERPOOL - PREDICTED LINEUPS WITH CHANGES AND EXPERT PREDICTIONS

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says his team will have to beware "world class" striker Diego Costa when they play Chelsea on Friday.

Costa scored twice in a 2-2 draw with Swansea on Sunday, taking his tally to four goals in as many league matches.
German Klopp said: "He is a real warrior on the pitch. He uses his body all the time and that is a quality. He was nearly unstoppable against Swansea.
"He is world class and that's the best thing football fans can say about you."
It was at Stamford Bridge that Klopp enjoyed his first victory as Liverpool manager, beating the Blues 3-1 last October.
But Klopp, who described new Blues boss Antonio Conte as a "great manager", said Chelsea were a different team to the one which struggled under Jose Mourinho last season.

Klopp added: "They've seen us playing and they know we are not easy to play and that is what I thought most about in the last two days and what I will think about because there is always a way to create moments which you are not expecting.
"The problem is they maybe have the same plan.
"They were champions two years ago and then had a difficult year and they changed their manager.
"Last season was not a Chelsea season and now they are back on track, so we need to be ready for a real challenge."
Chelsea, second in the league and unbeaten in the league under Conte, will be without captain John Terry after the defender strained ligaments in his foot against Swansea.
David Luiz, who re-signed for the London club from Paris St-Germain in the summer, could replace the 35-year-old.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

• Chelsea have only beaten Liverpool twice in the last nine league meetings at Stamford Bridge (W2, D3, L4).
• This is the 175th competitive fixture between the clubs. Liverpool lead by 75 wins to Chelsea's 61, with 38 draws.

Chelsea

• Chelsea could record three successive home wins in the Premier League for the first time since May last year.
• Relegated Aston Villa were the only side to earn fewer home victories than Chelsea's tally of five in 2015-16.
• The Blues have scored at least two goals in each of their opening four league fixtures.
• Diego Costa has already scored four times - it took him until Boxing Day to reach that tally in the Premier League last season.
• Antonio Conte has won his last 21 league games at home as a manager, and not lost in 30 since Juventus were beaten by Sampdoria in January 2013.

Liverpool

• Liverpool's tally of 32 points from their last 17 games is only bettered by Manchester United (34).
• The Reds have scored an unrivalled 50 Premier League goals in 2016, managing three goals or more in eight matches.
• However, their only clean sheet in 12 away games during this calendar year came against Aston Villa in February.
• They could go nine away matches without a clean sheet in the league for the first time since May 2005

To be played on Friday 16th September 2016 at 19:00. Venue: Stamford Bridge, London
Odds: Chelsea 5/4, Draw 5/2, Liverpool 2/1
Liverpool head to Stamford Bridge on Friday evening to take on Chelsea in their latest Premier League clash.
The Reds will be buzzing after their 4-1 victory against reigning champions Leicester City last time out, while Chelsea will want to get back to winning ways after drawing 2-2 with Swansea City courtesy of a late strike from Diego Costa.

The recent results mean Liverpool are sixth in the table with seven points from a possible 12 while Chelsea are second after dropping their first two points of the campaign.
In early team news, Liverpool are likely to be without Emre Can – who is lacking match fitness despite returning to training – while Mamadou Sakho and Joe Gomez are both ruled out.
As for Chelsea, they cannot call on John Terry or Kurt Zouma, meaning summer signing David Luiz looks set to make his second debut for the Blues at the heart of their defence.

Chelsea predicted lineup

• Thibaut Courtois
• César Azpilicueta
• Gary Cahill
• David Luiz
• Branislav Ivanovic
• Eden Hazard
• N'Golo Kanté
• Nemanja Matic
• Oscar
• Willian
• Diego Costa

Liverpool predicted lineup

• Simon Mignolet
• Nathaniel Clyne
• Dejan Lovren
• Joel Matip
• Philippe Coutinho
• Jordan Henderson
• Adam Lallana
• Sadio Mané
• James Milner
• Georginio Wijnaldum
• Roberto Firmino    
•  

  Prediction

  • Chelsea failed to make their dominance pay against Swansea and somehow ended up drawing the game 2-2. That would have been a disappointing performance to take for Antonio Conte's side and they will need to get their heads up when they welcome a Liverpool side full of confidence.
  • Jurgen Klopp's side were in breathtaking form going forward against Leicester and they will want to put David Luiz under pressure from the off in his second debut for the club. They are unbeaten in their last three competitive matches against Chelsea. Their defence remains a real cause for concern, having failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last six league matches.
  • Chelsea have only managed to keep one clean sheet in their last 11 league games, which suggests there could be goals on offer for both teams on Friday.

What are the new Premier League rules?yellow card for taking a penalty wrongly,no Red card for Penalties...

What are the new Premier League rules on intimidation, offside and penalty run-ups?

EVERYTHING you need to know about the new rules around referees in the Premier League.
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) have made nearly 100 alterations to the game which will come into force in the Premier League for the first time.
It follows the FA Cup allowing an extra substitution in the three final rounds if they go to extra-time on the recommendation of IFAB.
The biggest changes will be concerning players surrounding and abusing the referee.
Anyone running to contest a decision, arguing face-to-face with officials and players using 'visibly disrespectful' actions will be booked.
Players will also be sent off for confronting officials and using insulting/offensive language or gestures.

Has the offside rule changed?

Partially. The halfway line is now neutral, meaning to be offside you must have a part of your body (expect hands or arms) inside the opposition half.

Free-kicks awarded for offside must also now be taken from the spot of the offence.

Can you stop in a penalty run-up?

You can stutter but you can't stop. A penalty-taker who slows to a stop before shooting will now be booked and a freekick will be awarded to the other team

How has the kick-off changed?

Previous laws meant you had to move the ball forward into the opposition half from kick-off, typically with two people standing over the restart.

But now the ball can be kicked straight back - as it was at Euro 2016.

Can you now be sent off before kick-off?

Yes. Referees can now send players off in the tunnel or even earlier if a red-card offence is committed outside of the 90 minutes.

The period in which players can be sent off will now start at the referee's pre-match inspection and end when he leaves the field after the final whistle.indirect free-kick awarded to the opposition.

Can you be sent off after conceding a penalty?

Not any more. Teams will no longer be triple-punished for an accidental foul in the box that results in a red card and therefore a suspension.

An accidental foul that denies a goal-scoring opportunity in the penalty area will only result in a yellow card. The penalty effectively restores the goal-scoring opportunity so a red card is seen as too strong a punishment.

As the amendment states: "When a denial of a goalscoring opportunity offence is committed by a defender in the penalty area, the penalty kick effectively restores the goalscoring opportunity so the punishment for the player should be less strong (e.g. a yellow card) than when the offence is committed outside the penalty area. However, when the offence is handball or clearly not a genuine attempt to play or challenge for the ball, the player will be sent off."

A deliberate foul or a handball however will still result in a straight red.

Do players still have to leave the field for treatment?

No. If a player is fouled and requires treatment as a result of a yellow-card or red-card challenge, they will not need to leave the field to be seen to by a physio or doctor.

Can the fourth official let players return to the field of play?

If a player leaves the field to change his boots, the fourth official may check his new equipment before allowing him back onto the pitch.

Before the referee had to come over and permit his return.

Can managers give away a free-kick?

Yes! Free-kicks and even penalties can now be awarded if members of the team, playing or non-playing, off the field of play cause the game to be stopped.

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone was sent to the stands in April after a member of his backroom team threw a ball onto the pitch during a La Liga game in an attempt to interrupt an opponent's attack.

To address what was threatening to become a growing trend, the law has been changed so that if play is stopped due to interference from a team official or substitute, rather than the award of an indirect free-kick or drop ball, the referee will now award a free-kick or penalty kick to the opposition.

 Handballs

In an effort to stop referees brandishing yellow cards for every handball, "preventing an opponent gaining possession" has been removed from the list of bookable offences.

Handball is now a yellow card offence when "it stops/interferes with a promising attack".

 Player behaviour

 

Referees have been urged to take a stronger stand on "intolerable behaviour" by players following a joint statement by the Premier League, English Football League and FA.

Running to contest decisions, arguing face-to-face with officials, and "visibly disrespectful" actions will result in yellow cards.

Red cards will be issued to players who confront officials and use insulting and/or offensive language or gestures towards them.

The aim is to "reduce disrespectful conduct such as aggressively challenging decisions or running from distance to confront an official."

A complete breakdown of the amendments to the laws of the game can be found on FIFA's website.

Are they working?

The first match under the new regulations saw Hull take on champions Leicester.

The promoted side took the lead but just after half-time, referee Mike Dean adjudged Demarai Gray to have been bundled over in the penalty box and awarded the Foxes a controversial spot-kick.

However, the Hull defenders made no protest to the referee, suggesting players will heed the new rules on referee intimidation.

Who will benefit better Barcelona or Real Madrid in a straight swap between Messi and Ronaldo

There as been argurments for a long time on who is the better between the two standout footballers of this decade, here we are looking out which of the there teams will benefit better in a straight swap deal involving there star players Messi or Ronaldo.

 ALL STATISTICS COURTESY OF WHOSCORED.COM
We first take a look at how Messi can fit into the Madrid team

1.MESSI AT REAL MADRID
 If  Lionel Messi gets a chance to play for Madrid today he will walk straight into the First team and will likely occupy the right side of the attack in the usual 4-3-3 formation accustomed with real Madrid with bale moving to the left side assuming Ronaldo is already at Barcelona .
 So how does this little magician cope with the style of play of Real Madrid and how does he form a Partnership with other players already at the club.

REAL MADRID STYLE OF PLAY ACCORDING TO WHOSCORED Creating long shot opportunities	Very Strong
Creating chances through individual skill	Very Strong
Creating scoring chances	Very Strong
Finishing scoring chances	Strong
Attacking set pieces	Strong
Aerial duels	Strong

- Weaknesses

Protecting the lead

Weak

Real Madrid's Style of Play

• Take a lot of shots
• Attack through the middle
• Attempt through balls often
• Short passes
• Possession football
• Rotate their first eleven
• Non-aggressive
• Opponents play aggressively against them

 With a front three of Bale, Benzema  and Messi , we have a BBM from the formal BBC with this formation Madrid will win more matches than they use to win with the previous BBC especially against teams that sits behind and form bodies behind the ball, one area Messi is better than Ronaldo and the other front two of Bale and Benzema is his dribbling accuracy, he will attract more fouls because of these in dangerous areas and win more penalties than Ronaldo the partnership will also be something that can be relied upon for the next few years with the fact that Messi is two years younger than Ronaldo. Bale and Benzema will also score more goals as Messi creates more chances for this teammates and generally bring them more into play than Ronaldo as we had seen for a few seasons now with Suarez and Neymar
2. RONALDO AT BARCELONA
  If Ronaldo also gets a transfer to Barcelona he will walk straight into the Barcelona attack in the usual 4-3-3 formation and will form a deadly partnership with Suarez and Neymar 
So how will Ronaldo cope with Barcelona style of play

 BARCELONA STYLE OF PLAY

Attacking down the wings	Very Strong
Creating chances through individual skill	Strong
Creating scoring chances	Strong
Shooting from direct free kicks	Strong
Attacking set pieces	Strong

- Weaknesses

Aerial duels	Weak
Avoiding individual errors	Weak
Stopping opponents from creating chances	Weak
Defending against skillful players	Weak
Avoiding offside	Very Weak

Barcelona's Style of Play

• Short passes
• Control the game in the opposition's half
• Attack through the middle
• Possession football
• Attempt through balls often
• Rotate their first eleven
• Opponents play aggressively against them

 As stated above Barcelona loves short passing game which we refer to now as tiki taka and loves to control the ball in the opposition half striving the opposition of the ball Ronaldo will bring more goals to this Barcelona team than they use to get when Messi was in the team because he takes more risks than Messi and has more hunger for goals than Messi albeit disrupting the passage of the free flow passing game that Barcelona are know for because most time he will try taking his chance even when the passing game is still supposed to be in motion thereby scoring more goals .

 There is also likely to be a decrease in the number of goals both Suarez and Neymar contributes to the team because of the more direct approach of Rolando than Messi which will see Ronaldo score the bulk of the goals for Barcelona.

CONCLUSION

 We think a direct swap of Messi and Ronaldo will benefit Real Madrid the more giving the fact that Messi still has a more years at the top than Ronaldo and he can adapt more to Real playing style compare to Ronaldo adapting to Barcelona style at Madrid.

Claudio Bravo lucky not to concede penalty - experts

Claudio Bravo lucky not to concede penalty - Ian Wright

 

Manchester City keeper Claudio Bravo was "lucky" not to give away a penalty in the 2-1 win against Manchester United, says Ian Wright.

Wright believes 33-year-old Bravo, who has replaced England's Joe Hart at City, should have been punished for a second-half challenge on Wayne Rooney.
"It's is a penalty. His studs are up," Wright told Match of the Day.
"He jumps in off the ground. He is out of control of his body. It is reckless. It wasn't given and he was lucky."
Bravo was signed for £15.4m this summer which signalled Hart's departure to Italian club Torino on loan.
But Bravo, making his debut against United, was also at fault when he dropped a free-kick with City leading 2-0, which allowed United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score.
"The way Joe Hart was jettisoned from the squad, I'm thinking Claudio Bravo must be unbelievable," said Wright.
"He has to catch it or punch it and doesn't do either. The communication has to get better. For me, that is terrible."
He added: "I fancy City for the league this season but with him in goal, especially off today's showing, he's going to give people a chance."

Since the re-branding of English top flight division 1 to English Premier league in 1992, one team has dominated english football above all, Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United who has won the title 13 times in the last 23 years and only four teams has manage to break their dominance albeit temporarily. Blackburn Rovers were the first team to win the title other than Manchester United back in 1994/95 season when under Kenny Dalgish and of course new owner Jack Walker who injected millions in the club to take them from league 1 to all the way premier league winners in very short span of time. But Blackburn failed to build on their success and got relegated a few years later.
It took another three years after Blackburns premier league win for other team to break United’s record breaking success when Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal won the title in 1997-98. But United bite back and won three back to back titles including the famous 1998-99 season where they became first english club to win treble of trophies. United’s next title was in 2002-03 season which was sandiwched between Arsenal’s 2001-02 and 2003-04 titles before Jose Mourinho took over Chelsea and won back to back Premier League titles in 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons. That lead to Sir Alex developing another great team with the likes of Ronaldo, Rooney spearheading United’s attack as they won three back to back titles for the second time since 1992. Here is the list of all Premier League winners since 1992 to 2005.

Manchester United       13times

Chelsea                           4times

Arsenal                           3times

Manchester city             2times

Leicester City                1 time

Blackburn Rovers         1 time
