Where will the Euro 2020 final take place?

Wembley Stadium in London is the venue of the final. The home ground of the England national team, it has a capacity of 90,000.

Interestingly, Wembley will also host both semi-final games, meaning whoever contests the tournament decider will have familiarised themselves with the stadium.

Wembley - in its original form - has played host to the European Championship final before, at Euro 96, when Germany defeated Czech Republic 2-1 thanks to a Golden Goal by Oliver Bierhoff.

More on Euro 2020: 

Kaizer Chiefs have signed centre-back Njabulo Ngcobo from Swallows FC, the player’s agent Siboniso Ngubane has reported.

The 27-year-old defender has penned a three-year deal and his move does not come as a surprise after he was heavily linked with the Soweto giants. 

Ngubane said Ngcobo was also being tracked by Mamelodi Sundowns but they opted for Chiefs. 

“Yes, the deal is done. Ngcobo is now a Chiefs player. We agreed on a three-year deal and everyone is happy. Swallows are happy, Chiefs are happy and we are happy,” said Ngubane as per Phakaaathi. 

“They [Mamelodi Sundowns] were also interested. But we had to look at the best deal for the player. We had to look at many things and it was not about money…

"We looked at the number of goals both sides conceded last season to see where he is most needed.” 

Ngcobo was part of the Bafana Bafana squad which faced Uganda in an international friendly match in June in what was his debut call-up. 

Interestingly, Ngcobo makes a huge leap in his career having played Premier Soccer League football for just one season. 

Last term was his debut season after joining Swallows from National First Division side Uthongathi and to cap his maiden top-flight league campaign, he was named the PSL Defender of the Season.

First-team opportunities for Ngcobo look bright at Chiefs where their centre-backs struggled for consistency last season. 

At Sundowns, he would have faced stiff competition from Mosa Lebusa, Ricardo Nascimento and Rushine De Reuck.    

Ngubane explained the other factors which made them settle for Chiefs instead of Sundowns. 

“But we looked at many aspects, including the style of play and such. Chiefs were a better fit for him and we decided to give them first preference,” added Ngubane. 

“His heart was also set on the move to Naturena and we had to consider that as well because the player’s emotional and mental well-being is also important.”  

Chiefs could not confirm or deny the signing of Ngcobo. 

“We have not made any announcement of the new players. We can only comment or confirm once we have announced the players,” Chiefs corporate communications manager Vina Maphosa told Goal.

Antoine Griezmann says he has "always been committed against any form of discrimination" following the release of videos that seem to show the Barcelona forward and team-mate Ousmane Dembele mocking Asian people.

The clips, which have surfaced on social media, are said to have been shot during the Blaugrana's pre-season in 2019.

Dembele also features in the videos, with both men now addressing the furore.

What is said in the videos?

The first of two videos to have been circulated in recent days show France international colleagues Griezmann and Dembele in a hotel room.

They appear to require the assistance of hotel staff with a television, with the pair seemingly struggling to get a games console to work that would allow them to play Pro Evolution Soccer.

Dembele is alleged to say of the three men providing technical support: "All these ugly faces, just so you can play PES, aren't you ashamed?" He then goes on to say: "What kind of backward language is that?" and "Are you technologically advanced in your country or not?"

Another video from the same tour sees Griezmann relaxing in a pool, with fellow countrymen Dembele and Samuel Umtiti in attendance. The 30-year-old is allegedly captured saying: "Ching chong."

How has Griezmann responded?

The World Cup winner has reacted to the accusations of racism by posting on Twitter: "I have always been committed against any form of discrimination. 

"For the past few days, some people have wanted to pass me off as the man I am not. I firmly refute the accusations made against me and I am sorry if I offended my Japanese friends."

What did Dembele have to say?

The 24-year-old winger has also refuted any suggestion that his actions can be considered discriminatory.

He posted on Instagram: "The scene happens to be in Japan. It could have taken place anywhere on the planet, I would have used the same expressions. 

"I sometimes use these kinds of expressions in private, with friends, regardless of their origin, but I can imagine that the video could have offended the people present in these images. Therefore, I offer them my most sincere apologies."

UEFA rules regarding yellow cards and suspensions were made somewhat more stringent with two yellows in different games being enough to earn a suspension.

In the past an automatic suspension was the punishment if a player picked up three yellow cards in three different games, so players have to tread more carefully nowadays.

Lots of players have missed out on major games and even finals due to rules regarding the accumulation of yellow cards, but what is the deal when it comes to Euro 2020?

Goal brings you all you need to know about the yellow card rules at the European Championship.

What are the Euro 2020 yellow card rules?

At Euro 2020, a player is suspended for their next match if they receive two cautions in two different matches. They will also be suspended after their fourth yellow card.

Of course, a player will be sent off during a game and suspended if they receive two yellow cards during a single game too.

The rules regarding yellow cards, red cards and associated suspensions are outlined in Article 52 of the Euro 2020 regulations. 

Do yellow cards carry over in Euro 2020 & when are wiped?

Yellow cards carried over at Euro 2020 for the duration of the group stage, last 16 and quarter-finals, so players had to be careful not to pick up cautions.

Yellow cards were wiped after the Euro 2020 quarter-final games were played, so players begin with a clean slate when they play in the semi-finals.

Can players be banned from the Euro 2020 final?

A player who was on a yellow card in the quarter-final will not miss the Euro 2020 final if they pick up a yellow card in the semi-final.

This is because their slate has been purged of cautions.

That means England players Phil Foden, Harry Maguire, Kalvin Phillips and Declan Rice can enter the semi-final against Denmark with a burden lifted.

Likewise, four Denmark players were on yellow cards and they are now relieved of any potential inhibition ahead of their encounter with the Three Lions.

Five Italy players and five Spain players were carrying yellow cards too, but they all start afresh from a disciplinary perspective when they play in the semi-final. The playing field has been levelled.

A player can still be banned from playing in the Euro 2020 final, but it will depend on them being sent off with a red card in the semi-final.

Manchester City have announced the signing of former Barcelona captain Vicky Losada on a two-year deal.

The midfielder helped guide her childhood club to a historic treble last season, winning the Primera Division, Copa de la Reina and the UEFA Women's Champions League - beating Man City in the quarter-finals of the latter competition.

Losada then called time on her five-year stint with the club in June, that spell her fourth with the Catalans after coming through their youth ranks, and now returns to England, where she previously played with Arsenal.

What has been said?

Speaking upon the announcement of the deal, Losada said: “I’m so excited for next season and to have been able to join one of the best clubs in the world. As soon as I had the offer from Manchester City, I didn’t have any doubts about it - I knew that it was time to leave Barcelona and close that chapter of my career after one of the best years of my life.

“I’ve always said that I missed the English league, I feel like it brings out the best in me as a player. I am so excited to return to it now and be a part of this fantastic football club.”

Head coach Gareth Taylor added: “We’re delighted to welcome Vicky to Manchester City. She is a player who has enjoyed an incredible level of success throughout her career so far and we're thrilled to have brought someone of her calibre to the club.

“Her winning mentality and desire to be at the top of her game matches our own ethos here at City, and the fact that she has already previously made her mark in the FAWSL speaks volumes about her adaptability.

“Vicky’s experience in high-pressure situations will also be very important to the team as a whole as we aim to lift more trophies in the near future, and we’re very much looking forward to working with her over the next few years.”

What will Losada bring to Manchester City?

Losada's arrival will be huge for City, who have just lost a big presence in midfield in Sam Mewis. The U.S. women's national team star left the club at the end of last season to return to the North Carolina Courage, taking her experience of winning the biggest titles with her.

City have won every major trophy available to them in England, but have dreams of becoming European champions. In Losada, they have a player who knows exactly what it takes, having lifted the trophy in May.

Plenty of transfer business in Barcelona

After last season’s historic treble, there has been a bit of a shake up in Barcelona this summer. Losada’s departure was followed by that of Kheira Hamraoui, the French midfielder who started the UWCL final.

With head coach Lluis Cortes having also stepped down, there have been rumours surrounding the future of winger Lieke Martens, midfielder Aitana Bonmati and forward Asisat Oshoala. Reports from Mundo Deportivo and Sport, respectively, have said that Martens and Bonmati will stay at the club, though. 

There have been plenty of rumours surrounding incomings, too. Fridolina Rolfo is reportedly set to join from Wolfsburg, with Ingrid Engen possibly to follow. PSG defender Irene Paredes has long been linked with a move to Catalonia, too.

Gennaro Gattuso insists he is neither racist nor sexist as he hit out at an online campaign against him during talks to become Tottenham manager.

Spurs turned their attention to Gattuso last month following the breakdown of Paulo Fonseca's move to the north London club.

However, that move also broke down just 24 hours later after supporters launched a protest against the Italian, highlighting controversial comments he had previously made about same-sex marriage and women in football.

What did Gattuso say?

In an interview with La Repubblica, Gattuso insisted that his previous comments were misinterpreted.

He also believes Tottenham fans have developed a negative opinion of him based on an incident during a Champions League tie against Milan in 2011, when Gattuso got involved in a touchline fight with then Spurs assistant Joe Jordan.

“I find it hard to believe that this [his previous comments] was the reason, at most it may have remained in their minds the image of myself fighting with Joe Jordan in 2011,” said the 43-year-old.

“Certainly I am neither racist, nor sexist, nor homophobic - old statements of mine have been misrepresented.

“Why don’t you ask my former team-mates and the players I coached about my relationship with them? I can’t lose time with silly things, but my experience can teach something.”

The former Italy international believes the incident highlights the dangers of social media and the damage it can cause.

“Hate on social media is dangerous and very underrated,” he added. “I am a public figure and I have the strength to react, but not everyone can bear it.

“There are those who may throw themselves out of the window because they are weaker. It is a serious problem. Why is nobody doing something about it?

“I don’t live in the past, I have daughters who use social media, I just don’t understand exhibitionism. Why should I post a picture if I am on a boat trip with my family or at the restaurant?

“I want to tell the youths to live their life, not the ones of others.”

Gattuso denies Mendes link

Gattuso also dismissed suggestions he quit Fiorentina last month because of a dispute over transfer strategy.

He only took over Fiorentina in May but left just 23 days later, with reports claiming his agent Jorge Mendes was demanding the club target certain players.

Gattuso denies those rumours and insists Mendes is merely a friend rather than his agent, while admitting he is unable to reveal the real reasons behind his departure because of a confidentiality agreement.

“He [Mendes] is a friend. He has great experience and gives me advice for my career. I always respect roles: the transfer market is not up to me, but to directors,” Gattuso said.

“I am an ambitious coach and I want strong and functional players for the team, regardless of who their agent is.”

Tanzania Football Federation presidential hopeful Ally Salehe has begun a campaign to fundraise Tsh25 million as part of the legal fees for the case he lodged at the High Court seeking to stop the August 8 elections.

Salehe was among the aspirants who were not cleared to run for TFF's top seat in the initial nomination process and he moved to court to seek redress against a process he claims was not done according to the set election procedures.
 
So far, Wallace Karia, the incumbent, is the only candidate remaining after other contestants were not cleared to run. 

What has been said?

"This case is not mine, it is not about me as Salehe," Salehe said, according to Mwanaspoti. "I am here to defend the rights of the members of the public and, for that reason, it would not be wrong if they help fundraise legal fees for my lawyers.
 
"So far I have received Tsh15 million and I am happy that members of the public have pledged to support this course."

Earlier in the campaign

Salehe has been one of the outstanding critics of Karia and, in one instance, he called on the elections board to take action against the incumbent, claiming he had started a campaign early outside the set window. Salehe claimed the TFF's president took advantage of the U20 Premier League final between Mtibwa Sugar and Yanga to market his candidacy.
 
At the event held in June at the Chamazi Sports Complex outside Dar es Salaam, he alleges some fans were spotted wearing T-shirts carrying campaign messages in support of Karia.

"Were it not an electioneering period, there could have been no issue with those people wearing such T-shirts, but now we are campaigning for seats and, thus, it was a wrong move," Salehe said.

"How can one run a campaign when the time for it has not been declared open? If the disciplinary committee is keen on serving justice, then action must be taken against Karia."

Salehe hopes to persuade the court to stop the elections. However, Karia could be announced as the winner of the presidential contest after election vice-chair Benjamin Karume confirmed no one else was in the race apart from the incumbent.

Cesar Azpilicueta sees shades of Sergio Busquets in Chelsea team-mate Jorginho, with the Spain international aware that a talented club colleague is set to pose him plenty of problems in the Euro 2020 semi-finals.

The Azzurri have won many admirers at this summer's European Championship, with Brazil-born playmaker Jorginho pulling the strings for Roberto Mancini's side from the middle of the park.

World Cup-winning Barcelona star Busquets does likewise for La Roja, with Azpilicueta fortunate to have spent plenty of time playing with two of the finest deep-lying midfielders on the planet.

What has been said?

The Chelsea defender, who captains Jorginho at club level, told The Guardian of similarities between the 29-year-old and Spain skipper Busquets: "They’re two great players who move well in short spaces: intelligent, tactically sharp, they judge space well and always choose the right pass for the team. 

"Jorginho is a great footballer, very important for the way Italy play. He likes to be in contact with the ball, to control the game, he’s clever. The less he intervenes the more we have a chance of controlling the game. 

"He’s surrounded by great players too and we’ll have to come up with a collective solution.

"I’m fortunate to be able to enjoy Jorginho with Chelsea and Sergio with the national team. Hopefully we can control Tuesday: Sergio’s very important for us in that."

The bigger picture

Spain's meeting with Italy at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday will see both sides chasing down a place in the final of Euro 2020.

Whatever happens - with England facing Denmark on the other side of the draw - Chelsea will welcome back someone in 2021-22 that has Champions League and European Championship winners' medals to their name.

Azpilicueta added: "We’re the only club that will have a double champion, that’s true: all four teams left have Chelsea players [Jorginho and Emerson Palmieri with Italy, Denmark’s Andreas Christensen, and Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell and Reece James for England].

"Around this time of year, people always start talking about it, but what matters is the team. 

"Winning the Champions League was lovely, now we have a nice challenge with the Euros, another opportunity."

Tuesday night brings us the biggest match of the European Championships so far, as Spain and Italy go head to head at Wembley in the first semi-final.

There’s no doubt that these two are continental giants—they have four European titles between them—but only one of them can advance to face either England or Denmark in Sunday’s final.

Italy have been consistently excellent throughout the tournament, and excelled as Belgium were dispatched in the quarter-final.

Spain, meanwhile, are growing into the competition, and consecutive victories over Slovakia and Croatia puts them in good stead, even if they were less convincing as Switzerland were ousted on penalties in the quarter-final.

Spain vs Italy: Team News

Leonardo Spinazzola suffered a devastating injury against Belgium, and now requires Achilles surgery; he will be lucky to return to action within six months.

His departure from the camp led to an emotional farewell, and leaves Roberto Mancini needing to find a solution to the influential wing-back.

Emerson Palmieri could be the man to replace him, although this is a switch that will surely weaken Italy’s threat from out wide.

In the good news column, Alessandro Florenzi is back in contention after a calf problem, but will he be able to unseat Giovanni Di Lorenzo and reclaim his defensive berth?

Further up the field, Mancini has a wealth of attacking options, with the likes of in-form trio Matteo Pessino, Manuel Locatelli and Federico Chiesa pushing for starting berths.

Marco Verratti is back from injury and will be a valuable returnee, while Andrea Belotti and Ciro Immobile will compete for the starting centre-forward berth.

For Spain, Pablo Sarabia is primed to miss out after picking up an early injury against Switzerland—Dani Olmo is likely to replace him—while Aymeric Laporte is a doubt.

Spain vs Italy: Key facts & stats

Despite Italy’s long undefeated streak of 32 matches, they have a poor recent record against Spain, and it’s something that Mancini needs to change on Tuesday.

Italy have won only two matches against La Roja in their last 14 fixtures in all competitions—a friendly triumph a decade ago and, perhaps critically, their last meeting at the Euros.

In 2016, the two heavyweights met in the Round of 16, with Giorgio Chiellini and Graziano Pelle sending Italy into the quarter-finals.

At major tournaments, however, it’s the Azzurri who have the upper hand—with four wins and four draws in nine previous meetings—although their quarter-final penalty shootout defeat in 2008 and final defeat to La Roja four years later—were hard losses to swallow.

Spain vs Italy: Predictions

Even though they required extra time to defeat Austria in the Round of 16, Italy have won all five matches at this tournament so far and would equal the Netherlands’ record of winning six matches at a major tournament if they defeat Spain.

It’s a fearsome record, and their 2-1 triumph over Belgium proved that they can get the job done against the toughest opponents in the tournament, winning a classic against the Red Devils and holding their nerve to survive a late onslaught.

It puts them in a strong position to progress to the final, although don’t be surprised if they require extra time or penalties to advance to Wembley’s showpiece.

Roberto Martinez is to stay on as Belgium boss through to the 2022 World Cup despite the nation's so-called golden generation enduring another major tournament failure at Euro 2020.

The star-star studded Red Devils squad were fancied by many for continental glory this summer, having previously come up short at other European Championships and World Cups.

However they bowed out at the quarter-final stage following a 2-1 defeat to Italy, leading to questions being asked of how long leading figures on and off the field will be sticking around.

What has been said?

Martinez has been linked with various club roles across Europe but Belgium's chief executive officer Peter Bossaert expects the former Wigan and Everton coach to remain in his current role.

He has told reporters: "Today we start preparations for the September and October games. Roberto Martinez will be there. No official communication will follow, but there is no reason to change the staff."

What is next for Belgium?

Qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar has already begun, with Belgium taking seven points from their opening three games.

They are already well on their way to booking tickets to another major finals and will expect Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne to be back for more.

Bossaert expects Martinez to be calling the shots, adding: "I don't have the feeling he will step down. There is no problem with him at the moment. There will be no real evaluation because, as with any successful business, we have a culture of permanent evaluation."

Martinez signed a contract in May 2020 that is due to take him through the 2022 World Cup. He has remained committed to that deal so far, with links to Tottenham coming to nothing.
