I feel like once that side of the people's safety and the players' safety is secured, and their wellbeing is looked after, then that's the right time to go back in. Until then, I'm. I say - not scared, but reserved and thinking what the worst outcome could be. I've had friends whose grandmas passed away. I've had family members as well that have passed away. You've got to be wise and take care of yourself and those around you.
Richards, who was England's youngest-ever defender when he made his debut at the age of 18, said the current side would be a force to be reckoned with in the next few years. If you look at the team now, maybe not this competition, but like next World Cup or next Euros a lot of people will be in their peak as well," said Richards.
The Premier League, the most lucrative football league in the world, has been suspended for a month and the clubs have asked players and managers to take a 30% cut in wages.

The best manager I was lucky to play for. The times we had on and off the pitch were priceless. My thoughts are with Pat and the family. RIP my good friend. Never forgotten.

Charlton's granddaughter, journalist Emma Wilkinson, tweeted: "Beyond sad to have to say goodbye to my beloved Grandad, Jack Charlton.
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard, his staff, and the first-team squad have volunteered to defer their salaries for three months to help the club combat the shutdown of football. Executive directors of the Scottish Premiership club will also defer their wages for the same period. The Glasgow side also intend to furlough "a number of employees" due to the "extraordinary challenges" presented by the coronavirus crisis, but will top up wages to ensure staff are paid in full.
In this scenario, Barnet edge the final play-off place on goal difference with Stockport dropping to eighth, but the top six stays the same. Play each other once Yeovil and Bromley would be the main benefactors of this scenarioOf course, the problem with both of the examples above is that teams have not played everybody else an equal number of times. Fifth-placed Boreham Wood only had one side in the top half of the table left to play and still had to face five of the bottom seven sides.

They should add to that against this Genoa defence, which is the worst in the league. They have conceded the majority of those goals on the road, with a huge 65% of their goals against so far coming in away trips. On the bright side for the visitors, they've made up for that going forward by scoring in 75% of their Serie A games overall. They’ve not been afraid to get forward and carve out chances on the road.
Norwich, who remain bottom of the table and are now 10 points behind the 17th-placed Hornets, will be relegated if they lose to West Ham on Saturday. Emiliano Buendia's curled effort gave Norwich an early lead before Craig Dawson equalised with a close-range header. The home side won it through Welbeck's wonderful goal, after the ball looped up following a poor clearance by Max Aarons.
But a run of six wins and a draw from their past seven matches has given the former England midfielder hope his side can take one more step. We had two negative results coming out of lockdown, but since then my team have been very good at grinding out results," said Parker. There are times we've been 10 to 13 points adrift. We've had to fight and battle with pressure that comes with that and the outside voices.
Both teams have scored in four of the last five APOEL home games. Basel have scored in six of seven away games in European competition this season. Basel have scored in six of their last nine away games. APOEL Nicosia bid to reach the last sixteen of the Europa League but have a tough task against Basel.
I think that is because the situation I have just come through in India has made me stronger mentally. In the past it used to be the be-all and end-all for me. If I didn't get a club in the first couple of weeks, I would start panicking. But I feel relaxed about the situation. I'm in the mindset of what will be, will be. I have got a mortgage and a family to look after, but I believe football will take care of itself.
None of the top four in the Premier League made any late moves at the conclusion of a low-key month, with some of the players who had been linked with possible deadline day moves staying put after proposed deals failed to materialise.

A lot of the players at Bristol Rovers have mentioned to me you're potentially caught between a proverbial rock and a hard place, in a moral dilemma of do you go back because financially you need to support your family and pay your mortgage or do you stay at home because you need to protect your family's health and welfare?"Players, especially at League One and League Two level, probably do rely on a paycheque every month - living paycheque to paycheque - and could not absorb missing one, two, three or four paycheques.
Acireale will play against Marsala in the Italian Serie D group I which is a Italian fourth division league. The hosts are in very good shape right now. They have won 3 of their last 5 matches and playing some good football. They also hold a good home record. In contrast, Marsala have lost 4 of their last 5 matches and rotting in the bottom of the table. They have a bad away record as well. But I think in this match they will be highly motivated, therefore I hope them to secure victory here in this Italian lower league match.
With his header against Southampton, the English midfielder has scored in each of his past three Premier League games for Newcastle to make it six goals in 12 appearances. For context, his previous six goals in the English top flight were sprawled across 116 matches. Shelvey's prolific streak, which puts him level with compatriots James Maddison and Dele Alli on five goals this season, has coincided with Newcastle's growing momentum under Steve Bruce, whose side have lost once in their past seven league games.
Slutsk will host Ynergetyk-BDU for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. Slutsk is one of the ambitious teams in this season. Also, Slutsk are in solid shape in the last matches. They have three consecutive victories. In previous game Slutsk is won 1-2 against Dinamo Minsk. Also, we have Energetyk-BDU who's is very average team in this season. Perhaps, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. However, they have big fluctuations. I think, the hosts will try to make a positive result. My pick - Slutsk to win this match.
Everton are 11th in the Premier League, five points behind fifth-placed Manchester United who face Manchester City on Sunday in the later game.

Our collective prayers and thoughts remain with all those affected. The money will go towards the NHS Charities Together.

The England Footballers Foundation was set up in 2007 and was reported to have generated over £5m in the subsequent decade.
Spurs were wasteful, lethargic and lacking in ideas in the opening 45 minutes, having just four touches in the opposition box with none of those coming for Kane, who was more involved in his own penalty area. The club's record signing, Tanguy Ndombele, had played just 19 minutes since being hauled off at half-time during Spurs' 1-1 draw at Burnley in March but was thrown on at the break to try to inject some life into the visitors.
Only 19 home league goals have been scored and 30 conceded. Just Southampton have conceded more at home in the Premier League, though nine of those came in one match. Southampton are also the only side to have earned less home points this season than Norwich. Norwich have scored just once in their last eight league games, relegation is just around the corner.

Another game in which we should see a lot of goals,Manchester United is force to win versus right now worst team in the league if they want to stay in a chance to finish this season in top 4 and versus worst defense in the league they should be able to score 2 to 4 goals,but surely I expect from Norwich to score at least one goal, they know that their defense could not defend well and their style is pretty offensive s I think at the end it will e 3 1 or 4 1 for utd or maybe even 3 2

Sometimes they wish me all the best and want me to send them a shirt. The teenager's stint in the spotlight, in real life at least, was short-lived. The death of Moukoko's older brother meant football slipped to the back of his priorities before he had even kicked a ball for Derby's first team and in August 2002 his contract was terminated by mutual consent. After two years out of the game, Moukoko was unable to secure a deal back in Sweden's top flight, playing in the lower leagues either side of a stint in Finland.
Away from home, things have not been quite as simple as Shrewsbury have only managed to win two of their nine away league matches.

Middlesbrough have won six of their last seven home games against Huddersfield Town in all competitions, drawing the other in October 2013. Given their great run against them and the hosts’ recent record, we think they will see off a Huddersfield side who have already been beaten 10 times so far this season.
There are lots of things going on in the community during this coronavirus crisis that people do not realise are happening because football clubs did not want the badges on their arm, and felt it is their duty to do it. Football is so big in the community and the more you go outside of London, football clubs play an even bigger role.
To be honest, there are some things in the women's game that don't get covered because we all want the women's game to grow so much. I had trials or trained with quite a few teams. I went to Liverpool for a lot of their pre-season, I spent time at Brighton and then I was over in Spain and that topped it off. I really thought I was going to play for Real Madrid. Everyone there made me believe that I was going to join Real Madrid.
The teams were meeting in the third-place playoff at the continental championship, which doubles up as Asia's qualifying tournament for the Olympic Games, and victory for the Australians means the country will play at the Olympics for the first time since 2008.

They won all seven of their matches in Mexico, culminating with a 4-1 over Italy in the final at the Aztec stadium. The life-size statue of Pele, dressed in the strip worn by the 1970 team, bore a close resemblance to the former Santos and New York Cosmos striker, unlike many of the statues of famous footballers unveiled recently around the globe.
