Wayne Rooney decided to relax a little and went for a WWE match in Manchester accompanied by coach Ryan Giggs, former teammate Darren Fletcher and son Kai. Little did the Manchester crowd know they were in for a thrill. After spotting the Man. U captain, Manchester-wrestler Wade Barrett attempted to playfully humiliate Rooney. Wade, 35, goaded him, saying: 'In this ring are two men who can easily be described as championship material. Which is, of course, more than can be said of Wayne Rooney and Manchester United.' Barrett didn't end there. He now goaded Rooney and his son seated ringside which the England striker apparently couldn't take. 'I'd hate for your little boy to sit there and watch his own father fail. Because let's face it, he gets to experience that every single time you step on a football pitch.' Wayne Rooney then stood up challenged Barrett to a fight, gesticulating to the wrestler to come down from the ring to which the wrestler respo...

Nigerian Golden Eaglets continued their impressive run at the ongoing FIFA U-17 World Cup as they defeated Mexico 4-2 to advance to the final of the Championship. The Mexican team got the first goal of the game 7 minutes into the game through Magana, before Kelechi Nwakali got the equalizer in the 35th minute. Young player Orji Okonkwo put the Golden Eaglets in front just before the half time break with a well-taken free-kick as the Eaglets ended the first on a high note. The Mexicans increased the tempo of the game in the second half and were rewarded when D. Cortes’s shot found the back of the net. Osinachi Ebere restored the Golden Eaglet’s lead before Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen made it 4 with a penalty to take his goal tally to 9 goals in the 2015 U-17 World CUP Championship in Chile. Nigeria will now face Mali in an all African Final on Sunday.

Five Players To Watch When The Premier League Resumes The international break has halted Premier League football matches across England. On the bright side, it returns again next weekend and EVB highlights some players to watch out for. 1) Anthony Martial- Manchester United: The expensive youngster has had a scintillating start to his Premier League career, netting 3 goals in 4 appearances. And though he couldn’t continue his red hot form at the Emirates, the French international still displayed rare glimpse of what he is capable of, and had it not been for a wonderful save from Arsenal’s stopper Petr Cech before half time, the 19-year old could have been on the score sheet. 2) Alexis Sanchez- Arsenal: It was a case of being foolish to write off the Chilean’s attributes after a slow start to the season. Not surprisingly, Sanchez is rapidly regaining his form once again. After a mouthwatering hat-trick at Leicester, he was again at the mix of things when Arsenal d...

FIFA suspends Sepp Blatter for 90 days FIFA ethics committee has suspended its president Sepp Blatter for 90 days. Head of the committee, Klaus Stoehlker, who has advised Blatter in the past, says the committee made the ruling pending further investigations by the Swiss attorney general following accusations of corruption. He described it as a "pending" verdict, and said no negative finding had been made against the head of world football's governing body. The announcement comes just hours after Blatter criticized the criminal investigation against him in Switzerland, describing it as "outrageous". He also defended his decision to remain as head of the football organising body and not step down immediately, as worldwide sponsors have urged. The 90-day suspension is the longest FIFA's ethics committee can hand down while they carry out their investigation. Last month, the Swiss attorney general announced that Blatter will face charges of "criminal m...
