The Super Falcons of Nigeria are now the new winners of the 7th CAF Women championship. They emerged champions after defeating Equatorial Guinea by 4-2 in the final match this afternoon in South Africa.

It’s Premier League match time on Sunday when Arsenal travel to Goodison Park for an early kick off against Everton. The Gunners’ most recent visit to Goodison Park last season ended in a 6-1 annihilation of the hosts. This year is likely to be a lot different with Everton running into form, not having lost in their last seven games. That said, Arsene Wenger’s charges did not do their title aspirations any harm when they came from behind to register a 2-1 win over Wolves, in midweek. Their forwards are finding their rhythm and Rosicky’s equaliser against Wolves gives the squad an additional striking option.

Are you setting up an amateur football team? Here are 10 things you’re going to need.

It’s Premier League match time with West Bromwich Albion due to visit the DW Stadium Upton Park on Saturday afternoon to take on Wigan Athletic. The Latics are stuck in relegation zone having won just one of their last nine matches in this Premiership campaign. But they are coming off a morale-boosting 1-1 draw against Liverpool in game week twelve. West Brom in eleventh place in the points table have also not done well in recent matches; their last win came six matches ago against Fulham.

It’s Premier League match time with Wolverhampton Wanderers set to host Bolton Wanderers at Molineux. Wolves, currently in 19th place, will look to move away from the relegation mine with a win against Bolton who are in sixth position; though a solitary win is unlikely to help, it will be a start. In their last eight games Bolton have tasted defeat just once but the Trotters will be concerned about their vulnerability in defence, as they have conceded goals in all their twelve matches, a weakness that the likes of Jarvis in the Wolves squad will be keen to exploit.

It’s Premier League match time on Saturday when Blackpool travel to Upton Park to take on West Ham. Blackpool last won at Upton Park, in 1934, and have had 16 unsuccessful visits since then. West have been through their worst start ever to the Premiership and in their last seven games have won just one. Stuck in twentieth place at the bottom of the table, the Hammers are desperately in need of a win. Their home record has been particularly poor, with just four points won.

It’s Premier League match time on Saturday when Blackburn travel to White Hart Lane to take on Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham are coming off a 1-1 stalemate against Sunderland following a 4-2 loss to Bolton, and they will look to win their home game on Saturday to keep their top four aspirations alive. In particular Spurs will want to put an end to their four-game winless run against the Rovers. Blackburn scored a tactical win against Newcastle by neutralizing rival strikers Carroll and Ameobi, and their experience could help them against Spurs.

It’s Premier League match time at St James Park, with Newcastle set to host Fulham on Saturday afternoon. In recent times, Fulham have been poor travellers; their last away win came 25 matches ago. That said, Newcastle’s recent record at St James Park has not been good — in their last five home matches, they have won just once, while losing three games.

England won the World Cup in 1966 and expectations have been high for a repeated success ever since. Every four years the England team carry the hopes of millions of English football fans that they can recapture the World Cup. Although England have come close they have fallen short at each World Cup, sometimes through controversy and often through England’s nemesis, penalty shoot outs.

Chelsea returned to winning ways after losing to Liverpool on Sunday. The two Manchester teams, United and City fought out an uneventful 0-0 draw after the much hyped local derby. Arsenal returned to winning ways to keep pace with the Premier League leaders Chelsea, who now have a comfortable four point lead at the top of the table.

It’s Premier League match time, at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday, November 13, when Stoke City are due to host Liverpool. Stoke have drawn their last two games at this ground against the Reds.

Quite often I get emails from readers regarding the whole concept on when to perform speed training, and how often it should be implemented in the season schedule. A rather common phrase I get from readers is something like “we are planning on starting with the speed training later this Spring”. To me, this is not a good way of doing it.
