No, penalty should not be scrapped from the European Golden shoe race, Penalty should be scrapped from Football entirely,so when a defender uses his boot to match the head of an opponent who has clearly ran through on goal and has an open net before him,the defender will not be punished and the player is injured without scoring the goal
Nice article but useless point at the end,A goal from a penalty spot does not count as half a goal but one goal
penalty is an essential part of football and great players take them with success to help their team

Cristiano Ronaldo draws blank against Sassuolo in their 3-3 draw on Wednesday evening.

Bayern Munich forward Lewandowski is leading the European Golden Shoe race with 68 points but faces competition from Juventus Cristiano Ronaldo and Lazio’s Ciro Immobile who still has 5 Serie A matches to play.

The Portuguese superstar and Italian international have scored 28 and 29 goals respectively giving them a point of 56 and 58 point.



Cristiano Ronaldo need 6 more goals to be level on point with Lewandowski with Immobile requiring 5 more goals.

But did you know that 11 of Ronaldo’s and Immobile league goals in 2019/20 have come from the penalty spot? That means around 39% of their goals have come from spot kicks.

The above has got us rethink how the race for the European Golden Shoe would look if penalties were removed.

Penalties are welcome in a game and crucial to the success of a team. Messi losing the Copa America on penalties on numerous occasions shows how important penalties her but we just have to remove them and see how the players fare.

We have taken away the penalties from European Golden Boot contenders and then recalculated their points tally to produce the updated standings.

Robert Lewandowski : 58 points
Timo Werner : 50 points
Erling Haaland : 48.5 points
Shon Weissman : 42 points
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Danny Ings : 38 points
Ciro Immobile, Jamie Vardy, Kylian Mbappe, Patson Daka, Jean-Pierre Nsame Lionel Messi : 36 points
Cristiano Ronaldo, Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho, Sadio Mane : 34 points
Mohamed Salah, Anthony Martial : 32 points

This list shows that Robert Lewandowski sits at No.1 with an updated points total of 58. The Polish forward has scored 5 penalties this season, taking 10 points off due to the 2 points for Europe top 5 leagues. He’s still leading his nearest challenger Timo Werner with 8 points.

A look at Southampton Danny Ings who has scored 19 goals this season with none from the penalty spot. This puts him ahead of top names like Ronaldo, Messi, Salah, Mane, Mbappe, Sterling and others.

Ciro Immobile has 58 points with penalties and 36 without penalties. That’s a massive 22 points off.

The same applies to Superstar Ronaldo who has 34 points from a previous 56 points.

It shows how players have benefited from penalties this season.

Do you think penalties should be scrapped in the European Golden boot race?

Wow...congrats to Man City if this news is real sha

Manchester City have won their appeal against a European ban and will be free to play in 2020/2021 Champions League.


The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) agreed with the Ctizens that Uefa’s decision to throw them out of their competitions for “serious breaches” of their financial fair play rules and their club licensing rules, as well as alleged non-cooperation, was wrong. The verdict was given today 9:30am UK time.

The fine has been reduced to 10 million Euros with the ban lifted.

The statement from CAS
Following the hearing, the CAS Panel deliberated and concluded that the decision issued on 14 February 2020 by the Adjudicatory Chamber of the CFCB should be set aside and replaced by the following:

a.) MCFC has contravened Article 56 of the Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations.

b.) MCFC shall pay a fine of EUR 10,000,000 to the UEFA, within 30 days as from the date ofissuance of the arbitral award.

Manchester city have responded to the positive news.

Whilst Manchester City and its legal advisors are yet to review the full ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the Club welcomes the implications of today’s ruling as a validation of the Club’s position and the body of evidence that it was able to present. The Club wishes to thank the panel members for their diligence and the due process that they administered.

Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan has been hospitalized after testing positive for the novel coronavirus, according to his official Twitter account.

The Indian actor on Saturday evening announced on his Twitter page that he has tested positive to the infection. The Indian Express reported that the 77-year-old actor was admitted to Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai.



“I have tested CoviD positive .. shifted to Hospital .. hospital informing authorities .. family and staff undergone tests , results awaited,” Bachchan tweeted. He also urged those who have been in close proximity with him in the last ten days to get themselves tested.

Amitabh Bachchan gained popularity in the early 1970s for films such as Zanjeer, Deewaar and Sholay, and was dubbed India’s “angry young man” for his on-screen roles in Bollywood.

Referred to as the Shahenshah of Bollywood (in reference to his 1988 film Shahenshah), Sadi ka Mahanayak (Hindi for, “Greatest actor of the century”), Star of the Millennium, or Big B, he has since appeared in over 200 Indian films in a career spanning more than five decades.

Bachchan is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential actors in the history of Indian cinema as well as world cinema. He is considered a Legend in Bollywood.

About an hour after Bachchan’s tweet, his son, Abhishek, who is also a Bollywood actor, announced that he was also positive to the coronavirus:

“Earlier today both my father and I tested positive for COVID 19. Both of us having mild symptoms have been admitted to hospital. We have informed all the required authorities and our family and staff are all being tested. I request all to stay calm and not panic. Thank you.”

Abhishek Bachchan, who is fondly called “Junior Bachchan” made his acting debut in 2000 with J. P. Dutta’s war film Refugee. His first commercial successes came with the 2004 action films Dhoom and Run.

Bachchan went on to earn critical appreciation for his performances in the dramas Yuva (2004), Sarkar (2005), and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006), which won him three consecutive Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. In 2007, he portrayed a character loosely based on Dhirubhai Ambani in Mani Ratnam’s drama film Guru, which earned him critical acclaim and a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor.

Their residence ‘Jalsa’ has now been declared a containment zone and will be sanitized by the BMC.

After Amitabh Bachchan, now members in Anupam Kher’s family have also tested positive according to Amit Malviya the BJP IT head.

We wish The Senior and Junior Bachchan a speedy recovery.

Time travel is a topic that has generated more controversies in recent times. Many argued it’s possible while many believe it’s a hoax and far from real. We have seen many people like John Titor claiming they are a time traveler and even telling the world what happened in the future.



The biggest question now is – Is Time Travel a hoax, joke, ruse, deception, fraud, and trick or it is real and original. We will get to know the truth during the course of this article if Time travel is a hoax or reality.

Time travel basically means moving between different points in time. You can either move forward into the future or backward into the past. The truth is we are constantly time traveling but only in one direction which is into the future. We are moving 1 second at a time into the future. You now have to imagine travelling 100 years in just one hour or 1 minute. It is mind-boggling to think about time travel.

You can travel into the future and note what is selling then, maybe bitcoin will hit $100,000 or the United States dollars will be non-existent. What if you went back in time and stop your mother and father meeting? That means you wouldn’t have been born! If you hadn’t born, you couldn’t have time-traveled to prevent the meeting. In the Marvel superhero film X-Men: Days of the future past, Wolverine traveled back into the past to stop the assassination of the President by Magneto. This is fiction, but is it possible to happen in reality.

Understanding Time
Time is something familiar to everyone, yet it’s hard to give a generally accepted definition. Science, Mathematics, Arts, and Philosophy all have different definitions of time. Time is often considered the fourth dimension.

According to Physicists, Time is a progression of events from the past to the present into the future which means in a static system is timeless since there is no progression of events. Time can neither be seen not tasted but it can be measured.

We measure time passage in seconds, minutes, hours, years, decades, centuries, and millenniums, but this doesn’t mean time flow at a constant rate. Just as a river water gushes or slows down depending on the channel, weight of debris in it, time flows at different rates, in different regions or places. In scientific terms, TIME is relative. For instance the hands of a clock inside a speeding train, bus move more slowly than that of a stationary clock in your house, hostel, office etc. This shows that time is relative depending on how fast you are moving. It birthed the concept of Time Dilation. Astronauts who live on the International Space station are typical example of this. Astronauts move faster than we are on earth and that means they age slower than they would have been on earth. This is evident when Scott Kelly came back after a year in space slightly younger than his identical twin.

We have gotten a brief concept of time now, the next thing is how to time travel.

How to Time Travel
According to Albert Einstein special relativity theory which says that time slows down or speeds up depending on how fast you move relative to something else. One way to achieve time travel is by breaking the cosmic speed limit and go faster than speed of light in space. Light travels at 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. This mean that scientists will have to build a time machine that can break that speed. This requires the object or being to have infinite mass to continuing going at that speed.



Creating a Wormhole is another way to time travel which is predicted by Einstein’s theory of relativity. A wormhole is a shortcut or tunnel that links two places in space-time.

So is Time Travel Possible?



Time is just like a river and it flows at different speed depending on many factors. Einstein realized 100 years ago that matter drags on time and that’s why there is a slight difference in space time and earth time with around a third of a billionth of a second being gained everyday by the space time. The slight change is what Einstein realized that matter slows down time and the heavier the object, the more it drags on time.



There have been numerous experiments on Time Travel. The Hafele-Keating experiment was a test to prove the theory of relativity. Cesium-beam atomic clocks were put on commercial airliners and flown around the world. The atomic clocks were compared to the one on the ground and there was a difference.

You may wonder about using humans as experiment and maybe time travel 30 years into the future or to the past. That does not appear possible NOW. Recent advances in quantum theories may help overcome time travel paradoxes like the Grandfather Paradox. I am very confident that time travel into the future is possible, but we would need to develop some very advanced sophisticated technology to accomplish it.

Challenges
Imagine you go out for 3 months and you turn around, and come back for three months. While you are travelling at the speed of light, time stays slow relative to the people who are staying back on earth. As a result, you will be going fast, while your clock will be going slow. When you get out of your ship, you will be 6 months old, but earth will be many years older. Earth would have gone thousands, millions of years depending on how close you are travelling to the speed of light. These are problems associated with time travel.

Getting a space ship that can go faster than the speed of light. The fastest manned vehicle in history Apollo 10 traveled at 25,000mph. A machine travelling at the speed of light will require an unimaginable amount of energy.

The sudden change in velocity will prove fatal on the body.

Home win 4-1 correct score.

Manchester city will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing defeat away at St Mary’s Stadium when they take on Newcastle united at the Etihad stadium on Wednesday evening.



Manchester city away performance is total nonsense this season which has seen them lost their last 2 away league matches since the restart. Their home performance is a far cry from the absymal away losses they have recorded. They have won their last 4 home matches in the Epl with 12 goals scored and nothing conceded.

Newcastle have been superb in this restart with 2 draws and 2 wins.

Manchester city vs Newcastle united latest odds
Manchester city are heavy favourites to continue their home dominance at odds 1.12 on betscorum.

Steve Bruce’s side are priced at 28.0 to secure a shock win with the draw available at 11.5 on betscorum.

Their meeting on November 2019 saw the game ending 2-2 with Jonjo Shelvey scoring a late equaliser.

Manchester city vs Newcastle united team news
Pep Guardiola will be without Sergio Aguero for this match.

Ciaran Clark, Sean Longstaff, Florian Lejeune, and Isaac Hayden are out injured for Newcastle while Andy Caroll, Miguel Almiron, and Allan Saint-Maximin are doubts for this match.

Manchester city vs Newcastle united preview
Pep Guardiola has reiterated that his focus is on the FA cup and Champions League match against Real Madrid. This mean he’s likely to rotate against Newcastle united. This will give the likes of Foden, Zinchenko, and Otamendi a chance to prove themselves.

Manchester city oozes quality and no Matt the squad use, you are sure of a quality performance. They are playing at home where they have been solid all season scoring 45 goals in just 16 matches. The restart has seen them improve that record with 12 goals in their last 3 home games.

Manchester city will dominate the game and get the goals to kill any upset thought.

Newcastle are also in good form and have scored 10 league goals since the restart with 4 goals conceded in that same period. The four goals came against bottom teams Westham, Aston villa, and Bournemouth. This tells you a thing or two about their defence. The defence is not solid and will crumble against better opponents.

Manchester city vs Newcastle united predictions
I expect Manchester city quality to show in this match. Kevin De Bruyne is likely to start and cause all sort of problem to the Newcastle defence. Gabriel Jesus will be hungry for goals today as he look to end his drought while Foden good form that has seen him score 5 since the restart should continue.

Over 3 goals at odds 1.54 looks great on [url=betscorum.com]betscorum[/url].
