Belgium vs Italy Live Stream UEFA Euro 2016

When it comes to international competitions and even friendlies in Europe, it’s not often that you get two titans in the soccer world facing off. However, that’s exactly what’s happening in one of the first matches out of Group in the 2016 Euros. Arguably in the match of the Euros to date before kickoff has even happenedit’ll be Belgium vs Italy on Monday in Group E from Stade de Lyon.

Italy is obviously the one of these two teams with a bit more history and experience in this situation. In fact, the Belgians haven’t notched a win over the Italians since 1972, so there’s a lot of history at stake.


 However, Belgium boasts one of the most fearsome squads in the Euros with players such as Eden Hazard, Kevin de Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, and Dries Mertens on the roster. However, Italy has the wherewithal to withstand this team and the results should be a highly entertaining Euros match.

This game from Group E will be broadcast on ESPN with live streaming available through WatchESPN, which can be accessed either online or through the ESPN app using a login with a cable or satellite subscription.

Details for Monday’s game in the Euros are below:

USA vs. Paraguay Live Stream Copa America 2016

The USA vs. Paraguay live stream online and televised 2016 Copa America matchup for Group A comes on Saturday from Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field. The U.S. Men's National Team arrives to this latest game with some momentum, having seized a crucial 4-0 victory over Costa Rica in their previous game. A win against Paraguay will help their cause in advancing from the group stage to the single elimination tournament stage. Can Clint Dempsey and company lead the United States to another big win? The Copa America live streaming and TV coverage comes via Fox Sports network.


According to MLS Soccer in their June 9 report, a win for the U.S. will help them clinch a spot in the quarterfinals. A draw could also be good enough for the United States, but at this point, winning seems to be the team's priority. They will probably look to a similar lineup that won them their most recent game. On the other side, Paraguay needs to not only beat the U.S. in the game, but has to hope Colombia either wins or draws against Costa Rica. That makes this a key matchup for both teams on Saturday. Based on the USA's 4-0 victory this past week, the team has plenty of momentum to keep it going while playing in the United States.

While Team USA manager Jurgen Klinsmann was criticized for starting the same lineup in back-to-back matches this past week, it ended up working out just fine for the team, leading to the solid rout of Costa Rica. However, it's been pointed out that there could be some players who are a bit worn down from all the playing time they've had. Among them would be Jermaine Jones who played a total of 90 minutes in the Costa Rica game, and Clint Dempsey, who will play his third game within eight days, all within different time zones. Despite that, Klinsmann remains optimistic his guys can "push through any fatigue" for this important game in Philadelphia.

As of this report, the United States was listed as a +108 favorite on the Vegas Insider consensus. Paraguay was listed as a +265 underdog, with a draw priced at +250 on the money line. The over/under goals total was at 2-1/2 goals for the complete game. Future odds had Team USA as 20 to 1 favorites to win the Copa America Centenario which is tied with Ecuador. Paraguay was listed a bit lower on the list at 66 to 1 odds to win it all.

Saturday's USA vs. Paraguay Copa America 2016 game gets started at 7 p.m. Eastern Time. United States viewers can watch live on television via their Fox Sports 1 channel. To watch this Copa America game live streaming online, U.S. cable and satellite viewers can log into the Fox Sports Go website or compatible mobile apps.

England vs. Russia Live Stream Time TV Schedule

Roy Hodgson has admitted that he has a selection headache going into England’s opening match of Euro 2016 against Russia on Saturday, but claimed it is one he is happy to have. There has been much discussion about England’s starting lineup for the match at Marseille’s Stade Velodrome, particularly with the recent emergence of strikers Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy to put the place of captain Wayne Rooney under threat.

While as usual not giving anything away regarding his team selection on the eve of the game, Hodgson attempted to focus on the positives of his predicament


“I think there is definitely a selection headache in terms of so many good players who could quite easily command a place in the team,” he said in his pre-match press conference. "I don’t know if I’m alone in that situation. I think quite a few teams in the tournament have a strong squad and their managers too will have selection headaches, but I’m pleased with the one that I have.”

Kane and Vardy both excelled and scored without Rooney in friendly wins in recent months over Germany and Turkey. But Hodgson brought Rooney back into the fold for England’s final warm-up game against Portugal, when the Manchester United man started between Kane and Vardy. That experiment hardly proved a success, yet reports suggest that Rooney, England’s record goalscorer, will start against Russia, with Vardy, who scored 24 Premier League goals last season for champions Leicester City, set to drop out.

Whoever does start, England will be keen to get off to a better start than at the World Cup two years ago. Then a 2-1 defeat to Italy was followed by a loss by the same scoreline against Uruguay to dump Hodgson’s side out of competition. Even though four of the six third-placed teams will go through to the group stage in this expanded European Championship of 24 teams, Rooney has stressed the importance of the first match.

We know how important the first game is – it cost us two years ago," the 30-year-old said. “It’s important to get off to a good start – we know that and we’ve talked about that as a group of players. It’s an exciting time and you can feel the buzz around the place. Everyone’s excited for this game so it’s important that we take our performance levels into this game in order to get off to a good start.”

There has been talk of Rooney even occupying a central midfield role, as he did for Manchester United at the climax of last season. And Russia coach Leonid Slutsky has suggested that Rooney may now be better off in a deeper position, comparing him to Brazilian forward Vagner Love, now at Monaco.

“He has changed his style,” Slutsky, who is sharing his responsibilities with his country with coaching CSKA Moscow, said. “He is not the player that he was.

"It reminds me of Vagner Love when he came to CSKA Moscow in 2004. Back then, he was a pure striker because of his speed, his runs, and he scored lots of goals. He was brilliant in the front line. Now Vagner Love is very different. He organizes, he plays passes. It would be unfair to say that Rooney is worse than before, but he is very different.”

Slutsky has plenty of his own problems with which to concern himself. The 45-year-old has lost two key players to injury in recent days, in Igor Denisov and Alan Dzagoev, who scored three goals in Euro 2012. Slutsky only took over the Russia team last August, replacing Fabio Capello after the team made a poor start to its qualifying campaign. And he had an immediate impact, guiding Russia to four straight victories to finish behind Austria in its group. However, Russia has only ever made it past the group stage once as an independent nation, at Euro 2008.

Prediction: While Russia came good at the end of qualifying, its results since then have not been good, winning just won of its five games and losing three. The absence of Denisov and Dzagoev is a real blow, particularly the latter, who adds a much-needed spark to an otherwise uninspiring team. Plenty of questions still hang over England and Hodgson’s decisions could undermine what is an encouraging young group of players. However, against a mediocre Russia side, which is particularly plodding at the back, England should do enough to secure an opening win.

Predicted Score: England 2-1 Russia

IPL Final 2016 Live Stream: RCB vs SRH, Time and TV Schedule

A South Indian derby it is for the IPL 2016 final, after the Sunrisers Hyderabad, courtesy a David Warner special, got the better of the Gujarat Lions in Qualifier 2 in Delhi on Friday. RCB vs SRH promises to be an absolute cracker, a match that should give us plenty of runs – when is that not the case when RCB play, and you add Warner to the mix, it is almost guaranteed – and give the fans at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru plenty to cheer about.


While the Royal Challengers Bangalore zoomed straight into the final with a win over GL, SRH had to take the longer route, beating KKR, first in the Eliminator, before seeing off the challenge of the Gujarat Lions on Friday.

That long route can work both ways – you either end up a little tired, and as a result, not quite up to the mark for the IPL final, or you come with plenty of momentum and the confidence that two wins in a row, during a do-or-die situation, gives you.

SRH will, naturally, hope it is the latter, and there is little doubt that the players will still be buzzing after that Warner innings got them home in a tense encounter against an unlucky GL. The Sunrisers Hyderabad will hope most of the luck sits in their camp for this final in Bengaluru, because the odds are stacked up against them.

RCB are a team in red-hot form, having won five matches in a row, their two premier batsmen –Virat Kohli and AB De Villiers -- look near unbeatable and on top of that they will be playing at their home ground, with 30,000-40,000 fans waving red flags and cheering their team on from ball one to ball 240.

The way RCB are playing at the moment – and their bowling hasn't been too shoddy either – they are the big favourites to lift their maiden IPL title, but in Warner, SRH have a batsman capable of single-handedly winning them a match, much like he did against GL.

But, the Sunrisers cannot bank on their captain alone to dig them out of a hole again. If there ever was a platform to showcase your skills, the IPL final is it.

Yuvraj Singh should be pumped up to play against his former team, and with the small dimensions of the Chinnaswamy, the stage is perfectly setup for a six-hitting masterclass from the left-hander.

Shikhar Dhawan needs to show why he should stay the first choice limited-overs opener for India, while Deepak Hooda must prove that there is more to his game than just promise.

The bowling of SRH looks pretty good, but with RCB's improving considerably and their batting the best in the league by some distance, the edge certainly lies with the home team.

Kohli always relishes the big occasion, while De Villiers is considered the best batsman in the world for a reason. Chris Gayle is due a big one, and nobody likes the spotlight better than the big man from Jamaica, so the SRH bowlers, with Mustafizur Rahman, hopefully, to return from injury, better bring their A-game, or else this could be another match where RCB make a total in excess of 200, much like they did when the two teams met at the Chinnaswamy in the league stages, earlier this season.

IPL 2016 final schedule: RCB vs SRH.

Date: Sunday, May 29.

Time: 8 p.m. IST (3.30 p.m. BST, 10.30 a.m. ET).

Monaco Grand Prix 2016 Live Streaming and TV Info

After Max Verstappen’s stunning victory in Spain, Red Bull continued their upward momentum thanks to Daniel Ricciardo’s scintillating lap to take pole position for the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix. Ricciardo was 0.169 seconds quicker than championship leader Nico Rosberg, with the German’s Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton 0.320 seconds off the pace after an engine problem hampered the two-time defending champion in final qualifying.


It wasn’t all celebrations for Red Bull. Verstappen, who, aged 18, became the youngest race winner in F1 history two weeks ago, crashed heavily in the first phase of qualifying and will now start from 21st on the grid. But a first pole position for the team since the last of its four years of dominance in 2013 still made it a day to savor.

Boosted by an upgraded Renault engine, Ricciardo had gone quickest in Thursday’s afternoon practice and he backed that up brilliantly to take the first pole of his career at the most prestigious Grand Prix on the calendar.

“Definitely a special place,” the 26-year-old Australian said afterward. “I knew coming into the weekend we’d have a shot at it and it looked good from Thursday. I sort of had it in my mind the whole time coming into the weekend. I felt like the last few races I’ve been driving well but haven’t got the maximum reward, so I came into this weekend with a lot of a confidence and a lot of belief that I could be in this position now and I’m very happy to have fulfilled that.”

Ricciardo could have an added advantage, having opted to start the race on the slower super-soft tires, allowing him to go longer off the start before his first pitstop. Although rain could arrive in Sunday’s race, on a tight street circuit notoriously difficult to overtake, it could mean further frustration for the Mercedes duo.

After Rosberg and Hamilton collided on the opening lap in Spain to leave Rosberg with a 43-point lead over his teammate in the standings, it was not the day they would have hoped for. That was particularly true for Hamilton, who has been beset by technical problems in the early races of the 2016 season.

The latest arrived as he was making his way out of the pit lane for the first run in Q3, only for his car to lose power and have to be wheeled back into the Mercedes garage. While the mechanics were able to repair the car in time to allow him to make one run at pole, Hamilton was in no doubt that the engine issue had proved costly.

“It was a difficult qualifying; I don't really know what to say at the moment,” he said. “The good thing is that I did get out to do a lap at least. It wasn’t as bad as some of the races have been in that respect, with the engine problems. I’m grateful to be up in third. Obviously pole was there for the taking I think, but nonetheless I will do what I can in the race tomorrow to salvage what I can from today’s result.”

There was audible frustration, too, for Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel. While he came in fourth on the grid, two places ahead of teammate Kimi Raikkonen, the four-time world champion let out an expletive over the team radio exclaiming this belief that the car has gotten worse.

McLaren failed to meet their expectations, too. Having confidently predicted that they would get both cars into the top 10, only Fernando Alonso managed to make Q3 and will start 10th, with Jenson Button back in 13th.

It was the pace of Force India and Toro Rosso that caught McLaren off guard. Nico Huldenberg will start an impressive fifth in his Force India, three places ahead of teammate Sergio Perez, with Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat seventh and ninth, respectively, in their Toro Rossos.

Preview: Mexico vs Paraguay

The Mexico and Paraguay national teams will officially begin their Copa America preparations in a friendly at the Georgia Dome this Saturday, May 28, 2016 (2:00 PM Pacific). This warm-up match will allow coached from both sides to define the starting lineup days before the start of the competition.

Mexico will have a difficult Copa America tournament in which they have the pressure to reach at least the semifinals. The team coached by Juan Carlos Osorio understands that along with Uruguay, they are are favored to qualify into the quarterfinals out of Group C. The friendly against Paraguay will serve as a way to decide which players will be in the starting lineup against Uruguay next June 9th at the Rose Bowl for their opening match.


Paraguay has it much more difficult than Mexico to reach the quarterfinals out of their group. Group A has been referred to as the ‘Group of Death’ as it includes the host USA, Colombia, and Costa Rica. The team coached by Ramon Diaz must play a perfect group stage as the USA and Colombia are favored to reach the next round.

The match at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta is expected to sell-out in what will be an outstanding pro-Mexico atmosphere. The ‘tri’ is favored to win, yet Paraguay will undoubtedly give a great fight. It will be interesting to note how Mexico fans react after each Paraguay goal kick as the FIFA just implemented another fine for the ‘put…’ chant which many have denounced as homophobic.

Where to Watch

The Mexico vs Paraguay pre-Copa America friendly will be broadcast at 2:00 PM Pacific:

Champions League Final 2016 Live Stream: Time, and TV Schedule

For Zinedine Zidane, Saturday’s Champions League final against Atlético Madrid may be the third he will experience with Real Madrid, but he is no doubt that he expects the tension to be far in excess of anything that has come before. Zidane scored the winning goal in the 2002 Champions League final at the end of his first season as a Real Madrid player and then got to taste victory once again when, in his first season as assistant coach to Carlo Ancelotti, Real beat Atlético in Lisbon.

The former France great can now complete a hat-trick after guiding Madrid to the final less than six months after replacing Rafa Benitez as manager. He believes, though, that those previous experiences will only count for so much when walking out of the tunnel at the San Siro on Saturday evening.


“It's different,” Zidane said in his pre-match press conference. “I've had it as a player, as assistant coach and now as head coach. I'm happy and I experience it intensely with the whole team.

“When the game starts I'll feel more tension, but it's part of the work of the coach and I like it. I've lived it as a player, but it's nothing like as a manager. Ancelotti always told me that. Before the final in Lisbon he said he hoped I would one day experience it as a head coach, and I always remember Carlo.”

Zidane has also stressed that he doesn't think defeat in the final would count as a failure. Yet, despite finishing the Primera Division season with 12 straight wins, Real Madrid fell a point short of Barcelona in the title race. And there have been reports on the eve of the final that Zidane could be replaced by Sevilla manager Unai Emery should the most successful club in the history of the European Cup not claim an 11th title on Saturday.

There is no danger of that fate befalling Zidane’s counterpart, Diego Simeone, regardless of the result. Yet that certainly won’t dampen the burning desire of the Atlético manager and his club to get their hands on the trophy.

There has been agony on the club’s two previous trips to the final. In 1974, a last gasp goal from Bayern Munich in extra time took the match into a replay which the German giants won at a canter. And it was a similar story 40 years later. Having already won La Liga, Atlético looked set for a remarkable double when going deep into injury time leading 1-0 through Diego Godin’s goal. But a late, late equalizer from Sergio Ramos off a corner forced extra time and, with Atlético demoralized and physically spent, Real Madrid stormed to a 4-1 win to end their wait for “La Decima.”

Simeone has avoided all talk of revenge ahead of the 2016 final, particularly with his squad having experienced a significant overhaul in the past two years. However, after overcoming Barcelona and Bayern Munich to get there, the Argentine has made clear that his side will be going all out to win the final.

"To play a final is absolutely fantastic; to win it is even better," Simeone said, according to Marca. That experience makes you want to continue those moments. It's not easy because you have to pick yourself up, keep inventing yourself, change the players but not change the commitment, the values, the work.

"If you keep working, you're insistent, you can achieve things. Football is wonderful; when you share a passion, it brings you together. Only winning would make us happy. Only that."

Unlike two years ago, Simeone will have a fully fit squad to choose from. Zidane, meanwhile, will be without defender Raphael Varane, but he has insisted that Cristiano Ronaldo will be at 100 percent, despite the three-time Ballon d’Or winner limping out of training on Tuesday after a collision with a teammate.
