      When is the England squad for Euro 2020 getting announced? How many players can Gareth Southgate pick?

      by

      GARETH SOUTHGATE faces the toughest job in football next week – naming the England squad for Euro 2020.With the final at Wembley this summer and an expectant home crowd hoping for a big performance from the Three Lions, naming his squad is a huge step towards glory.

      And there are some incredibly tough decisions to make for the man who got England to the World Cup semi-finals three years ago.
      When is the England squad announcement for the Euros?
      Southgate will name his England squad on Tuesday, May 25.
      The deadline for all Euro 2020 squads to be named is June 1, but the Three Lions boss will have them out of the way just 48 hours after the Premier League season finishes.
      The announcement is set to take place at 1pm.
      How many players can international managers name in their Euro 2020 squad lists?
      Each squad can have 26 players in it.
      How England’s path to Euros glory could look

      Uefa initially announced that there could be 23 stars in each, but because of the threat of players having to isolate due to Covid, the European governing body expanded each squad by three.
      Many think that can be an advantage for England, with some serious strength in depth in certain areas, such as right-back and attacking midfield.
      But other countries like France, Spain and Germany will surely feel the same way. More

      When are football fans allowed back into stadiums in England and Wales?

      by

      FOOTBALL’S new normal of behind closed doors games is about to come to an end, to the joy of fans across England.And the country got a feel of what that will be like on Saturday as Leicester overcame Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

      There were 21,000 fans were in attendance as Youri Tielemans won the cup for the Foxes – the largest crowd at a post-lockdown event in the UK.
      When can fans attend football matches in England?
      Fans in England can attend football matches again from Monday, May 17.
      That means this weekend’s Premier League games remain behind closed doors.
      When the reopening happens, all professional matches in large outdoor venues will now be played in front of a capacity of 25 per cent or 10 thousand, whichever is smaller.
      That means the first English match to host fans will be the Championship play-off semi-final between Bournemouth and Brentford at 6pm.
      This will be followed by Barnsley vs Swansea at 8.15pm.

      Why were there fans at the FA Cup final?
      Even though the FA Cup final was before May 17, fans were in attendance because it was a test event to see if fans could return to stadiums safely.
      As part of the pilot, all 21 thousand supporters had to arrive with a negative Covid test in advance and take one after the game.

      How many fans will there be at Euro 2020?
      The FA have told Uefa that England’s group games at Wembley will take place in front of a 25 per cent capacity.
      That means similar numbers will be attending to the FA Cup final.
      However, the government is hopeful of expanding this to 50 per cent of even a full capacity for the knockout stages.
      These will take place after June 21, when it is hoped all social contact restrictions will be scrapped. More

      Do away goals count in Championship play-offs, and are extra time and penalties used if ties finish level?

      by

      THE away goals rule has become the most common way to decide a two-legged tie in football.It was introduced by Uefa in 1965 and has been a feature of competitions ever since, but is the rule used in the EFL play-offs?
      The EFL play-offs are back and as unpredictable as everCredit: Getty
      Do away goals count in the EFL play-offs?
      Away goals do not count double in the EFL play-offs.
      The Football League did use the rule but chose to abolish it in 1999.
      This decision was made after an initiative by then-Ipswich Town chairman David Sheepshanks.
      Sheepshanks’ Tractor Boys lost via the rule in 1997 and 1999 despite finishing higher than their opponents in the league on both occasions.
      What is the away goals rule?
      The away goals rule is the most commonly used way of deciding football matches played over two legs.
      If the scores are level after 90 minutes at home and 90 minutes away then, rather than go to penalties, the team that scored most goals in the away game goes through.
      The idea is to reward away teams who choose to play attacking football.
      Do away goals really count double?
      That expression is supposed to be the law, but it’s really more of a figure of speech.
      It simply means that away goals are the first decider for a tied two-leg match.
      If anything, it is like an extra half a goal for the team that scored more away from home.
      Which competitions use the away goals rule?
      The Champions League and the Europa League, as well as all South American competitions, use the away goals rule to decide ties that are level after two legs.
      The League Cup did use away goals after extra time in the semi-finals but has now abolished the rule, with teams playing penalties after 90 minutes.
      Is the away goals rule popular?
      The rule has survived for 51 years by generally being seen as the fairest way to decide a two-leg match.
      But it has prominent critics such as Sir Alex Ferguson and Sepp Blatter, who say it was designed for a different age.
      They believe the rule was only appropriate for the longer away trips of decades ago, where games would be played on dreadful pitches and playing at home was a key advantage.
      The Uefa version of the rule is also believed, by some, to be unfair because the team that plays away second can get 30 minutes more to score an away goal than the home team if the tie goes to extra-time.
      Occasionally, there is even the bizarre scenario of two matches at the same stadium being decided on away goals, for example when AC Milan knocked Inter out of the Champions League in 2003.
      The first leg at the San Siro, when AC Milan were technically at home, finished 0-0.
      And the second leg finished 1-1 at the same venue, which meant AC qualified. More
