I want more authenticity in diversity, so inclusion and growth of talent become the focus, rather than hitting targets. It's International Women's Day but we need to use every day to make changes that improve prospects for people across the board. Giving a voice to one person doesn't mean it cancels another out. We also must remember that gender bias goes both ways. Telling a boy to "man up" can have a detrimental effect on their decision making and mental health.
Willem and Heracles will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eredivisie. Willem this season have the following results: 11W, 4D and 5L. Meanwhile Heracles have 7W, 5D and 8L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Admittedly, Leeds do have an excellent defensive record this season, but it’s started to crumble a bit in recent weeks and they’re facing a supremely talented Arsenal attack here. Keeping a clean sheet will be very difficult, although they can be confident in their own ability to find the net. The visitors have scored in 13 of their 15 competitive trips away this season, so backing Both Teams to Score looks a great choice here.

TALKING POINTS Is the Premier League any good? Chelsea are as good as out, Spurs are a goal down to Leipzig with the away leg to come, Liverpool are an away goal behind the world's best defensive side, and Man City are playing Real Madrid; there's a fair chance the quarter-finals will contain no English team.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he would prefer matches to be postponed rather than played behind closed doors. Having seen matches across Europe played in empty stadiums, Guardiola feels it is only a matter of time before the Premier League is affected. The City manager said he will be guided by the game's authorities about how games should be played but his preference would be postponements.
He has got a contract and as long as he is a Real Madrid player he will play at 100% - and do very well. He has never asked to leave. If the right opportunity came along for him and it's something he wants to do we have to have a chat with the president of Real Madrid and see where we are. Bale was absent from training on Thursday and Spanish newspaper Marca said he would miss Saturday's La Liga match with Espanyol as well as Wednesday's Champions League game at Club Bruges due to a hamstring strain.
Silva might be less enthusiastic. CAN LEICESTER CHASE DOWN LIVERPOOL, WILL RODGERS STAY? With Manchester City stumbling again on Saturday, Leicester moved three points clear of the champions and cut Liverpool's gap to eight points with their win over Everton. The Foxes have won six games in a row, scoring 19 goals and conceding two in that run.
They looked like champions and played like it. Did you know? Salah has reached 100 goal involvements for Liverpool in the Premier League (73 goals, 27 assists in 104 appearances), becoming just the fourth player to do so for the Reds after Steven Gerrard (212), Robbie Fowler (158) and Michael Owen (148). Greenwood: The way he is taking his goals at the moment is quite phenomenal. His 45th-minute strike flew past Pepe Reina before the keeper even had time to set his position.
After a run of five games without victory, Palace have now won their last two having also beaten Burnley 2-0 at the weekend. Defeat for Bournemouth was their fourth in a row and leaves them in 12th. Reaction from Tuesday night's gamesBack-to-back wins but at a costThis was an excellent, disciplined performance from Palace, particularly after a disrupted first half in which Sakho - making his first Premier League start since September - was shown a straight red before Van Aanholt had to go off when he picked up an injury.

Give the reward to the team who have had a team try and cheat against them. Pete Sharland launched an impassioned defence of goalkeepers and said penalty kicks should not have rebounds. Anyone who’s ever faced a penalty knows it’s nigh on impossible if you’re the keeper," he says. And imagine if you actually get the opportunity to save a penalty, then you look up and see a striker gleefully running up and smashing the ball in from one yard, wheeling off celebrating as if they’re the best thing in the world.

He scored the winner against Stoke on his home debut. BBC Sport understands the transfer to Dortmund is yet to be completed.
We didn't do anything well in the first or second half. We made lots of errors, gave the ball away a lot and when you are not at your very best things can get very complicated.

They won at Chelsea, their biggest rivals for fourth, on Monday, and followed it up with this victory. Although the signs are encouraging, United have been so erratic all season that it would be unwise to get carried away.

Summer signing Luka Jovic has failed to make an impact since his summer transfer to the Bernabeu so Real Madrid are ready to invest in Haaland, who has lit up the footballing world this season. Dortmund value the 19-year-old at £65 million and Real are willing to meet the German club's demands. The report also states that Real Madrid view RB Leipzig's Timo Werner and Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez as potential alternative strikers to Haaland.
Is it time to 'unleash' Nobbs in England's midfield? Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: Japan 0-1 England Scott says there is "healthy competition" for places in midfield between herself and Nobbs, who can "run all day". Manchester City's Scott is a more natural box-to-box midfielder, while Nobbs showed against Japan that she thrives in a more attacking role - linking up with the forwards and moving the ball in tight spaces in and around the box.
England had a midfield of Paul Scholes and Paul Ince and Barry ran the game. He was only 21 at the time. David Seaman denied Christian Dailly the goal that would have taken the tie to extra timeFormer Scotland winger Neil McCann: "We absolutely outplayed them.

It is arguably the biggest story in English football this season. Manchester City have been kicked out of the Champions League until 2022. City are furious, claim they have effectively been found guilty by a kangaroo court and are promising the fight is not over by any stretch of the imagination. But for now, they are out, which raises a number of serious questions for the club. Man City banned from European club competitions for two seasons by UefaFrom magazine claims to European ban - timeline Is it the end for Pep? Pep Guardiola has been at Manchester City since 2016Time and time again over the past few weeks, City manager Pep Guardiola has responded to questions about his future by stating his intention to see out his contract with the Blues, which does not expire until 2021.
At a FIGC meeting on March 10, the body confirmed that the option of holding playoffs to decide the champion and relegated teams was being considered, as well as declaring the current standings as final or not declaring a champion at all. But with Italy in complete lockdown to fight the spread of the virus, it is looking ever-more likely that the suspension of football matches will be extended.
Ipswich lost 3 in a row and now they are on the pressure of winning this game but that is not going to be easy at all because Wimbledon is not easy team to beat when they are playing at home, but Wimbledon offense is not that good and I think it is very realistic they will fail to score tonight and on the other hand there is no way Ipswich could score more than two goals so I think this bet is very good option and who wants to follow, I surely recommend it to anyone,under 1.5 is way too risky!
Olympiakos have lost both of their away games in this group. This time last week Jose Mourinho probably thought he would be commentating or giving comments on the Champions League. Instead, he is managing Tottenham who are second in their group and six points clear of bottom of the table Olympiakos. Spurs got life under Jose off to a good start with a 3-2 win at West Ham United.
HONG KONG, Feb 21 (Reuters) - In a sport often focused on results over performance, Ange Postecoglou will look to remain true to his purist values when Yokohama F Marinos kick off the defence of their J-League title on Sunday.

Kante is a brilliant player but actually winning the ball back and taking the ball off the opposition I don't think there is anyone better than Wilfred. Sometimes you get a player like that and what he does doesn't get talked about on the back pages, it doesn't maybe get talked about on Match of the Day. However, us as team-mates know what he does and it lets players like myself and Youri Tielemans do our thing higher up the pitch because we know we have that solidarity behind us.
