Players accept that matches will have to be held behind closed doors when the football season resumes, says Professional Footballers' Association deputy chief executive Bobby Barnes. Football in England is suspended until at least 30 April because of the coronavirus pandemic, although the Football Association, Premier League and EFL want the season to be finished. In an ideal world we'd be playing in front of crowds but I think it's more a case of there being no alternative," Barnes told The Athletic.
Meanwhile, Alonso's double on Saturday brought about the first Premier League draw between the Cherries and Chelsea in what was their 10th meeting. That run, however, is not quite Everton v Fulham, which saw 18 consecutive meetings without a draw between 2001 and 2010 - while Manchester United against Wigan stands at 16 drawless top-flight fixtures. One to keep an eye on. Goal-shy Magpies relying on shutoutsFinally, Alonso's three goals in two league games are as many as Newcastle have managed since 18 January.
Wednesday called on the U. S. Soccer Federation to at least triple the pay of women's national team players and accused the federation of "working very hard to sell a false narrative" in opposing their quest for higher pay. Last year, all 28 members of the U. S. United States, alleging gender discrimination ahead of their successful World Cup title defense.
Striker Bahader made light of a knee injury and completed the full 90 minutes as his Egyptian third-tier club October 6 drew 1-1 with rivals Genius on Saturday.

Crocker served as Southampton's academy boss between 2006 and 2013 before working with Dan Ashworth and England manager Gareth Southgate in implementing a coaching philosophy for the national youth teams. Ashworth resigned from the FA last year and took up a role as Brighton & Hove Albion's technical director and Crocker will now follow a similar path.
Steph Houghton, Ellen White, Lauren Hemp, Georgia Stanway and Pauline Bremer all got their names on the scoresheet, with Houghton's indirect free-kick a real collector's item. Having been largely forgotten about in conversations about title favourites, City's claim must surely now be taken seriously.
On her celebration for that goal, which involved running round aimlessly and looking a bit shocked: It was embarrassing! I don't know what I was doing.

Media playback is not supported on this device Women's Super League highlights: Man City 1-0 Man Utd I also think scoring at Hampden Park when I scored a free-kick against Jamaica. As a Scot, that is literally something I dreamt about as a child.
There is so much change that is happening in one go. It's hard to take in as a player. We get asked all these questions and it's hard to answer them because we haven't quite processed it all ourselves. We are dealing with the coronavirus, the isolation, not knowing if the league is going to go ahead and then our international manager steps down - all these things. The emotions, feelings and all those sorts of things are kind of still up in the air.
U. S. SPORTS The National Basketball Association (NBA) took the decision on Wednesday to suspend the season until further notice after a Utah Jazz player tested positive for the coronavirus.

Yeovil team vs Hartlepool team play for an English national league match. Here I choose the victory of the team of Yeovil. Yeovil is a solid offensive team and is currently 2nd in the championship with 52 pts in 30 games. They have lost 1 in the last 5 games played at home. That the Hartlepool team is currently 12 th in the championship with 40 pts in 30 games. They have won 1 match in the last 5 away games. They are not very fit this season. So for this match, I see a victory for Yeovil. Good luck.
The hosts actually won the second league last term but did not get promoted, they allowed 2nd placed Banga to get the chance to play in the first league level probably lack of finances could have been the cause for them not playing in the first league level right now, but they have easily won both games played in the league in this start of the season and also won a cup game on the road as well making it 3 out of 3 wins.
If you analyse the Hammers' performances since football restarted, they have actually been playing well - despite not winning every game. Two wins in a week have given Watford a little bit of breathing space but I think their battle to stay up will go to the final day. Lawro's prediction: 2-1Nathan's prediction: West Ham are arguably the better team but I either want a draw here, or a Watford win - Villa are in control of our own destiny then.
Krasnodar is in a good position at the moment, Krasnodar is currently one of the most difficult teams to beat in the Russian league. Because at this time, the home team is getting 2nd place in the rankings with 35 points after 19 rounds. Need to know, Krasnodar only inferior to Zenit with 45 points. According to experts, maybe Krasnodar is not too prominent in winning against rivals but to defeat them is also a feat. Because in the past 19 rounds, Krasnodar has lost only 2 matches, drawn 8 and won 9. With 2 losses, Krasnodar and Zenit at the top of the table, they are the two names who lost at least the current tournament. Meanwhile, Rostov, CSKA or Lokomotiv all had 5 losses. Therefore, today will be a day without hope for FC Ufa.
Lyon won seven French titles in a row (between 2002 and 2008), while Real Madrid have won five consecutive Spanish titles twice and Huddersfield, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are the only teams to win three in a row in England.

That interruption came after then club leader 'Ma' Bryson was given an indefinite ban for abusing a referee. She was feisty," says Smith. So they waited until she went on holiday then they banned her. Bryson had replaced a gentleman known only as Mr Cleghorn, who founded the club in 1940 after rounding up a disparate group of kids playing in the streets in the Hutchison area of Edinburgh, kitting them out in a set of yellow and black Aberdeen jerseys, and moulding them into a team.
Wolves are fifth in the Premier League after winning their past three games while Braga are ninth in the Portuguese top flight having lost once in their last 12. Rangers are on the cusp of reaching the knockout stages of the Europa League for the first time as they face Feyenoord in Rotterdam. A win for Steven Gerrard's side, coupled with either a win or draw for Young Boys against Porto, will send them into the last 32.
And what else? What's your next step? And now you speak about sportsmanship and fair competition? "Shame on you. It’s time to stand up and take your responsibility! This is what we do in 2020!" Neither Dal Pino nor Serie A have so far replied to his comments. The ANSA news agency said that the Italian football federation (FIGC) had opened an inquiry into Zhang's remarks.
What next for Greenwood? Solskjaer believes Greenwood has the potential to become a 'complete number nine' for Manchester UnitedBig things are predicted for the teenager and, given how his rise to prominence has gone so far, there is no reason why he could not develop into a key player for club and country in the years to come. His development is still ongoing and in a rare start away from home against Everton last-time out, he struggled to have an impact on the game.
Anthony Martial, who is also closing in on a double century of United games, rose highest to nod in from another inch-perfect Mata cross to seal victory before the hour mark. Full-back Williams should have scored for the hosts but somehow blazed his effort high into the Stretford End from two yards out with the goal gaping wide open, but Mason Greenwood came off the bench to stroke in a lovely fourth.
Mee came close in the 36th minute but Ross Barkley cleared his point-blank downward header off the line. Chelsea, whose shaky home form in recent weeks included defeats by West Ham United, Bournemouth and Southampton, strengthened their grip on fourth place with the win, notching 39 points from 22 games.
We have a fantastic team, we don't lack anything, we have all the tools necessary to go on winning: A coach we identify with, a versatile squad, a style of play that breeds victories, a stadium and supporters that play their part. Liverpool, who have lost only once in the league this season, have collected 82 points from 29 games and sit 25 points above holders Manchester City, who have played a game less.
But after a couple of days of everybody calling him rude words, he relented. We’ll get through this with normal-sized cups of coffee. But when Ashley isn’t squeezing the country, he goes back to his favoured victims: the long-suffering fans of Newcastle United. You might think that taking season ticket payments for next season would be a ridiculous thing to do, given that this season is still incomplete.
Evra then kicked one of the fans in the head and was shown a red card. He was subsequently banned by Uefa from its competitions for seven months and left Marseille by mutual consent, having joined them in January 2017. Eric Cantona, January 1995 Media playback is not supported on this device Eric Cantona's infamous kung-fu kickProbably the most famous example of its kind.

England's Jade Moore says testing herself in Florida's humid weather and playing with Brazil legend Marta were among the pull factors behind her move to Orlando Pride. Six-time Fifa World Player of the Year Marta and USA striker Alex Morgan are among Orlando's stars. Moore, 29, left Reading on 1 April after 15 years in England's leagues. I feel like I've been in the WSL so long now it's not scratching that itch for me any more," Moore told BBC Sport.
Chance! Brighton have a fantastic opportunity to double their lead - and it's far too easy. Mooy whips in a cross, finding the unmarked Connolly but he mistimes his jump and it comes off his shoulder rather than his head and loops high over the bar. GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Brighton (Kane): Kane levels the scores! It's great persistence from Moura who squeezes through a crowd of players before the ball ricochets into the path of Kane.
This is a match from the Scottish 1st Division Championship where Kilmarnock will play against St Johnstone. After 15 matches Kilmarnock sit on the 5th spot with 22 points while the visitors Johnstone sit on 12th apot with 11 points. Saint Johnstone have not won in their last 6 away matches. They have lost 3 and drawn 3 matches. I think they will still lose against Strong home side Kilmarnock.
The latter crossed after Stuart Armstrong broke through the middle and fed him, but Kurt Zouma and Antonio Rudiger eventually cleared. As the half hour mark passed, though, the Saints, who had left 11-goal striker Danny Ings on the bench, took the lead through Michael Obafemi. He picked the ball up just outside the area and used his body to create space before beating Kepa with a curling shot.

WHO IS INTERESTED? All the top clubs can afford Coutinho. The latest reports are that Chelsea are very interested in bringing him to Stamford Bridge, and Manchester United and Liverpool are also keeping tabs on his movements.

That works out at about £240,000 a game, or a months' wages for striker Callum Wilson. At Leicester, gate receipts of £14. May 2019. At Manchester United, the figure is 18.

While these figures are substantial, it will only start to have an impact if the situation remains unresolved after a month or so.

Before people start marking him as a failure, a predictable and boring national sport in Spanish media, think on this: Despite all his problems he is still the fifth highest goalscorer at Real Madrid in the 21st century - behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Raul, Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain - and has scored 105 goals in 251 games. He has won one league title - soon to be two, probably, despite having played less of a part in proceedings this season - four Champions Leagues and against Liverpool in the 2018 final also scored what many believe to be the greatest ever Champions League final goal.
Sunderland had the second-most reported incidents with 11 while there were 10 such reports at Manchester United. The data was collected from a Freedom of Information request to the Home Office by the Press Association - it does not specify whether complaints were made by fans of the home or visiting team.

Huddersfield Town's 43 league games unbeaten between December 2010 and November 2011 - the second best run in English history - was ultimately fruitless. They started and finished the run third in League One, with their 3-0 play-off final defeat by Peterborough United in the middle not counted as a league game.
Roberto Pereyra started on the left but failed to assert himself as the obvious replacement for Deulofeu, while Ismaila Sarr was unable to have the same devastating influence on the right as he did at Vicarage Road last week. On recent evidence, club-record signing Sarr could well be the spark of quality that pulls Watford to safety - the 22-year-old recording two goals and one assist against Liverpool - but his crosses struggled to find team-mates, while goal-scoring opportunities were few and far-between for the Senegalese winger against Palace.
Much like Hearts at home, Livingston have struggled on their travels. They've won just one out of eight away from the comforts of home, losing five of the other seven. At times, they've competed offensively, scoring in seven out of eight, but their inability to keep teams out has proved costly.
The fact that they are unable to get the win on the road is perhaps unsurprising as they have failed to find the back of the net on a regular basis on their travels, with just six goals scored away from home at an average of just 0.86 goals per game.
Chief executive Paul Barber has been in talks with Lewis Dunk and Glenn Murray, and said: 'It was important we gave them as much time as was needed to reach all 25 players. So that will be done and then we will see where we are, I would have thought after the weekend. Paper Round’s view: Players know that the clubs will probably find it hard to survive if they do not at least put off some of their earnings until normal service - or something like it - is resumed.
