The next two rounds of games in La Liga have been suspended as the effects of the coronavirus grow in Spain. Seven Bundesliga games will take place behind closed doors this weekend, as will all games in Ligue 1, while pretty much everything in Italy is shutdown.
This leaves England the only one of the big five leagues going ahead in front of full stadiums. Infection rates in Italy, France, Spain and Germany are significantly higher than the UK, but it seems inevitable that public attendance at sporting events in the UK will be stopped within days.
As more players become infected, it will be impossible, and hazardous to players, to continue with football matches. Uefa must accept that the Euros should be postponed, you cannot have tens of thousands travelling across the continent, then home again. This competition is a crucial earner for Uefa and national associations; it will be a commercial washout if held this year. Better on all counts to re-schedule for 2021.
Domestic competitions, as well as the Champions and Europa Leagues, should be allowed to run into June – all behind closed doors.

0-2
2-0. And on a better pitch next week…. 5-0.
Anyone still fancy Sevco, they are now 80/1.
Huns place three men on the line for opposition corners. As against us, Davis heads a certain goal off the line. Didn’t matter, as the the Huns scored.
Great finish.
Clinical!
Should have been ‘other’ Huns. DOH!
Lovely finish, hilarious clearance
All set up for the miracle comeback😎
:) :)
Ooft, 2-0 to Leverkusen. Nice.
Nice!

Still stand by it. Great finish for 2nd goal, but Sevco are hardly getting pulled apart.
They have very average players but manage to put in decent performances. They are playing an Oldham CB, a 35 year old CM who is miles past in and a striker who is a stone overweight but were still keeping a very good German side honest.
McShagger just stood & watched that go in.
In fairness it would have been a hard one to get to but he didn’t move an inch.
I liked the way McGregor stood watching as the 2nd goal went in.
Anyone saying Sevco have been doing well isn’t paying attention. This is nothing more than a training exercise for BL, they are at walking pace.
Funereal atmosphere in the Sportsound studio
19 orange walks planned in scotland for this saturday
wtf
best player in scodland yellow
German machine is in 2nd gear.
The Germans are winning comfortably against a team that for the most part have sat in on a bad pitch.
It’s like watching us at McDiarmid Park. Clear gulf in class.
1-2
Wait til the germans get them on grass
oooohhhhhh knackeredfuggs have a corner
Huns comeback on.
and a goal
2-1
1-2 now ! Surely not ?!
Not nice!
Part one of the miracle done, nearly part two
Funny old team the Huns
mcscum nearly caught out there
How jammy are the Huns? Bayer hit bar.
The 7 million man 👍
Bayer will have no players, if there is a second leg, due to umpteen yellow cards.
Having seen 80 mins of this match, I’ve come to the conclusion that we won’t see much football on Sunday.
That pitch is a disgrace.
Nine Bayer players out of second leg.
The falling over for free kicks tactic is in now. Classic Gerrard and England in the noughties
Need to be cute on Sunday to avoid that; or defend it
1-3 ….that’s more like it
Ooooops 😂😂😂😂
