Speaking in a recent interview with Wccftech, when asked about the same, game director Corinne Busche acknowledged that a pre-launch character creator demo was a “much-requested feature”, and added that though it &#82…

Borussia Dortmund s sporting director Michael Zorc has confirmed that goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller will leave the club at the end of the season.

The 37-year-old has been with BVB since 2002, but has fallen behind Roman Burki in the pecking order since the arrival of the Swiss in 2015.

Speaking before the match at Commerzbank-Arena, Zorc told Sky: It is certain that Roman Weidenfeller is in his last year so we can say that we are looking for a new number two.

The Republic of Ireland maintained their unbeaten start to Euro 2020 qualifying with a laboured 2-0 win over Gibraltar at the Aviva Stadium on Monday.

Mick McCarthy kicked off his second stint in charge of Ireland with a slender 1-0 win in the reverse fixture at the end of March but hopes of a significantly more routine victory on home turf failed to materialise.

They were indebted to an own goal from Joseph Chipolina shortly before the half-hour mark, with Robbie Brady adding injury-time gloss to the scoreline.

The result makes it three wins from four in Group D, but McCarthy knows his side will have to improve dramatically if they are to progress at the expense of Denmark or Switzerland.

Everton manager David Moyes has described the feeling of taking Everton back to Wembley as magical .

Moyes last saw his side play at Wembley in 2009, when they were defeated 2-1 by Chelsea in the FA Cup final.

And the Scotsman is understandably excited ahead of a Merseyside derby against Liverpool in the semi-final of the same competition on Saturday.

To be the manager of Everton and take them back to Wembley again and get the supporters there, I think that s special, Moyes said.

While Everton have been in considerably better form than Liverpool, Moyes did his best to shake their tag as pre-match favourites.

The bookies are very rarely wrong, he said.

The bookies will see Liverpool as favourites undoubtedly and I think that s because o…

PSV Eindhoven winger Dries Mertens has admitted that he would like to play for Bayern Munich in the future.

The Belgian forward is in the form of his life and it is only a matter of time before a big European club come calling.

To start tomorrow is not going to happen, Lampard said when asked if Mendy was in contention to start at the Hawthorns on Saturday.
