How to watch Jamaica vs Nigeria: TV channel and live stream for Unity Cup final today
Jamaica and Nigeria clash in the Unity Cup final at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium this afternoon. The two nations are the original founders of this international football tournament, so it's quite fitting they meet in the final as the Super Eagles look to defend the crown they last won over two decades ago. Advertisement Eric Challe's side overcame rivals Ghana on Wednesday night in a game of two halves. Cyriel Dessers and an own goal from Razak Simpson had Nigeria in dreamland going into the break, but the performance level dropped significantly in the second half. After conceding to Brandon Thomas-Asante's close range strike, if not for a brilliant injury time save from Stanley Nwabali then the tie would have been settled via a penalty shootout. Jamaica - now managed by Steve McClaren - did let a 2-0 lead slip against Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday but came out on top in a five-goal thriller thanks to an injury time penalty from Richard King. It's all set up for a classic final in west London and here is everything you need to know about how to watch the showdown...

Real Betis deservedly in front against Chelsea in Conference League final
Update: Date: 45 + 1 min Title: Post Content: Real Betis 1-0 Chelsea The corner comes to nothing. Update: Date: 45 mins Title: Post Content: Real Betis 1-0 Chelsea Chelsea win a corner right at the end of the first half after Enzo Fernandez's attempt takes a deflection. A minimum of one minute additional time has been signalled. Update: Date: 20:46 BST Title: Chelsea fans want Reece James on Content: Real Betis 1-0 Chelsea Nizaar KinsellaBBC Sport football news reporter Chelsea fans are now chanting "Reece James, he's one of our own" as he warms up alongside Levi Colwill, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Tosin Adarabioyo and Jadon Sancho. Manager Enzo Maresca surely be considering at least a double substitution at half-time given how poor his side have been. At the heart of the poor performance is how Real Betis have been able to punish sloppy passes into midfield from the defenders and break at pace. It could be argued that the three changes in defence from the 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest have impacted Chelsea. French duo Malo Gusto and Benoit Badiashile have been poor. Update: Date: 44 mins Title: Post Content: Real Betis 1-0 Chelsea Chelsea fans are singing the name of Reece James who is warming up. Will Enzo Maresca make changes at half-time? Malo Gusto has been off it - but he's not the only one in blue who hasn't turned up for this final. Update: Date: 42 mins Title: Post Content: Real Betis 1-0 Chelsea The free-kick is pumped into the Chelsea box and Filip Jorgensen claws it away. It falls to a green and white shirt but the attempt is blocked.

Em Update: Date: 41 mins Title: Post Content: Real Betis 1-0 Chelsea By the way, Isco looks a class above anyone else on the pitch. Moises Caicedo clatters into the former Real Madrid player from behind and Real Betis have a free-kick in a decent position. Update: Date: 35 mins Title: Post Content: Real Betis 1-0 Chelsea All the noise is coming from those in green and white in the stands. Real Betis fans have brought the noise - and their players are putting on a show for them. Suddenly, a glimpse of something positive for Chelsea as Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson combine but it it is cleared. Update: Date: 20:38 BST Title: Chelsea have been really poor Content: Real Betis 1-0 Chelsea Nizaar KinsellaBBC Sport football news reporter in Wroclaw This first 35 minutes is everything Enzo Maresca's critics say his football is. Chelsea have been slow, ponderous and unthreatening while they have been ripped apart on the break. As he faces his mentor Manuel Pellegrini, Maresca has been outdone tactically despite hoarding around 66 percent of the possession of the ball. Of course, there is plenty of time, a strong bench and a half-time interval to make the necessary tweaks. The main positive for Chelsea is that they are only losing 1-0.

Real Betis are timing it well and they're closing down in numbers. Update: Date: 20:35 BST Title: Post Content: Real Betis 1-0 Chelsea Lucy WardFormer Leeds striker on TNT Sports Nicola Jackson has been quite isolated in those forward areas. They have tried to reach him with a few long passes but other than that he has not had much of a presence in the game. Update: Date: 31 mins Title: Post Content: Real Betis 1-0 Chelsea Noni Madueke attempts a flick but only succeeds in giving possession back to Betis. Adrian has had one save to make so far - and that was a shot that was straight at the Real Betis keeper.

Update: Date: 26 mins Title: Post Content: Real Betis 1-0 Chelsea Real Betis so far: 37.5% possession. Five attempts. Two on target. One goal. Also... they're a great watch. Update: Date: 20:28 BST Title: Maresca is animated on the sidelines Content: Real Betis 1-0 Chelsea Nizaar KinsellaBBC Sport football news reporter in Wroclaw Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is animated on the touchline. The Italian is gesturing, shouting and reacting to decisions as he attempts to move his players into the right position. A huge problem for Chelsea has been their sloppiness on the ball and their susceptibility to counter-attacks after making five changes from the win over Nottingham Forest. Betis, meanwhile, look uninhibited and players like Isco, Marc Bartra and Antony are expressing themselves. Update: Date: 20:28 BST Title: Get Involved Content: #bbcfootball, WhatsApp on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) Sam: Quite the contrast this final is, Betis have some golden oldies like Isco, Bartra, Adrian & Rodriguez v a Chelsea side full of youth/young players & so far experience is winning Chelsea are far too passive. And I don't think Maresca has the experience/talent to turn it around. Harry, Maidstone Update: Date: 20:27 BST Title: Get Involved Content: #bbcfootball, WhatsApp on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) Arjun: Malo Gusto is having a shocker. He'll be off at half time if this keeps up. Update: Date: 23 mins Title: Post Content: Real Betis 1-0 Chelsea Real Betis are all tricks and flicks. They're turning on the style for their travelling fans in Poland. Abde Ezzalzouli is causing all sorts of problems.

‘Just embarrassing' – Piers Morgan leads fan fury at ‘worst European final ever' between Man Utd and Tottenham
FANS have slammed the "worst final ever" as Tottenham ended their 17-year wait for a trophy. Spurs saw off Manchester United 1-0 in tonight's all-English final in Bilbao. 4 4 4 Despite all the hype to the game, it was a cagey affair with the standard and excitement levels falling below par. Even the goal lacked quality - not that Spurs fans cared - with Pape Sarr's cross bobbling off Luke Shaw's arm and trickling under Andre Onana in goal as Brennan Johnson claimed it. The only real moment of brilliance came when Micky van de Ven's acrobatically cleared Rasmus Hojlund's header on the line as Tottenham held on. But a poor match was perhaps not surprising given that both teams are 16th and 17th in the Premier League after woeful seasons. Arsenal fan Piers Morgan led the complaints about the game, tweeting: "This must be the worst quality game in the history of European football competition finals. "Absolutely shocking - and yet one of these useless bunch of wastrels will be in next year's Champions League." He then added: "I mean, I expect Spurs to be this bad, but Manchester United? Just embarrassing." Ex-United ace Michael Owen said: "Can't believe how bad the standard of this match is. Neither team can string three passes together."

I may go back." 4
