hello and thanks for joining us on sportsday. and there's only really one place to start, and that's in the spanish capital madrid, where spain's euro 2024 trophy celebrations have been attended by thousands of fans across the city. a heroes welcome for the side that beat england 2—1 in sunday's final. the plaza de cibeles, the traditional site of spanish celebrations over the years, was absolutely teeming with people eager to get a glimpse of captain alvaro morata and his squad. their achievements make spain the most successful nation in euro championship history, a record—breaking fourth title. worth pointing out — they're the first team in the competitions history to win all seven matches on the way to lifting the trophy. and earlier on monday, the squad were given the royal seal of approval, meeting with king felipe vi at the royal residence in the capital. so spain didn't come

into this year's tournament as the favourites, but got better and better as the games went on. in rodri, they had the player of the tournament. in teenage sensation lamine yamal, they had the young player of the tournament, and dani olmo shared the golden boot. so it's a future that's very bright — according to spanish football journalist ernest macia. if you asked me at the beginning of this euros, i would say spain has a few options to win the competition, in which france are favourites, in which germany are hosts, in which there are players that can mark an era like jude bellingham. so there was little room for spain, because the talent was too young yet. however, this is not elite competition, this is not champions league, so it's a different tournament in which a bad day condemns you. and once spain's growing

talent, like lamine yamal, for example, gabi and pedri were injured, so you can imagine our surprise when they were out of the national team and still spain was doing very well — rodri and these kind of players. the confidence has been rising up very quickly when we saw the size of this talent and that this talent was already possible in the short term, notjust a middle or long—term prospect. so, we are not surprised that we won, but if you asked me three weeks ago, i would say that it was almost impossible. i would say that, looking ahead, there's a big chance that these guys still do this for the next years. of course, there's a lot of teams that can make it, but i believe and i understand that spain has a group that can mark an era. meanwhile, spare a thought for this england supporter. or don't, really! this is dan thomas, who — before the final — chose to get a tattoo that declared england were "euro 2024 winners".

he insists he doesn't regret it and will "not cover it up", but he does have a plan. no, i'm not going to move it, or remove it. yeah, i've got a plan now which i've come up with this morning. so, i'm going to wait four years, so it can stay on me for four years as a reminder. i'll try and turn that 4 into an 8. that's a cunning plan from dan. anyway, attentions now turn to england's women as they look to defend their european title. but they face a pivotal qualifying clash with sweden in gothenburg on tuesday — a draw will seal their spot at next year's euros automatically. katie gornall has more. yes, welcome to the gamla ullevi stadium here in gothenburg. it's here tomorrow evening that england will play their crucial european qualifier against sweden. they've been training this afternoon, wiegman and leah williamson have been speaking to the media, but last night they — like millions of others —

were england fans. the team came together to watch england men in theirfinal against spain, and of course we all know what happened next. i asked leah williamson how much she shared in england's disappointment. they didn't quite get over the line, to a fantastic spanish team, and i know they'll be devastated about it. it will take a while, i think for them, to get over it, but us as a country, we've been blessed with incredible tournaments, and when those wins come, which i do believe they will, then they'll be even sweeter. leah williamson watched from the bench the last time england played sweden, back in april. that game at wembley finished i—i. another draw would be enough to see england through as one of the top two teams in this group and see them qualify automatically. it is a fiendishly difficult group that also features france. sarina wiegman is under no illusion about the challenge ahead, and she knows that anything could happen come tomorrow. we knew that this was . a very competitive group,

and that's what showed. so tomorrow's an important game for us, with france i on top of the group. but we can still come third in the group and first - in the group, so that's how we approach it. _ and we've had some really good training sessions, - everyone's fit, and we are ready for tomorrow. - and we're told that all players are fit and available for england, which means that fran kirby has recovered from the illness that kept her out of friday's ireland game. wiegman has a big decision to make as to who starts in goal. will she go for hannah hampton of chelsea or psg's new keeper mary earps? it will be revealing to see who she plumps for. and england are in a decent position here, as they look to book their place in switzerland next year and defend their title. ahead of the next major men's tournament in two years�* time — the world cup in the usa, canada and mexico — questions are being raised around venue safety after trouble at the copa america final in miami, as argentina beat colombia in extra time. jane dougall has more.

shouting frightening scenes as fans crush against the gate, wrestling initially to get into the stadium but then for their safety. many had become frustrated with delays in the 90—degree heat outside the hard rock stadium in miami, prompting supporters to surge forward. hundreds pushed through security checkpoints, many without tickets. in the rush, dozens were injured, with police eventually stepping in to make arrests. it was two hours before the situation was under control, a potentially dangerous stampede narrowly avoided. kick—off between argentina and colombia was delayed by 80 minutes, and it overshadowed a much anticipated final between two south american powerhouses. the match had drama of its own. it was still goalless in the second half when argentine superstar lionel messi went down and was taken off. at 37 years old, did the world cup winner think

this was his last match in an argentinian shirt? his tears suggested it could be. without messi, the match went to extra time, but his team—mate made sure he would lift another trophy. a record 16th america for argentina, but the scenes —— a record 16th copa america for argentina, but the scenes outside the miami ground are troubling. hard rock stadium is scheduled to host seven games at the 2026 world cup. if this was a dress rehearsal, it didn't go well. jane dougall, bbc news. to golf, and the next major in the calendar starts later this week, as royal troon in scotland plays host to the 152nd open championship. local support will focus on robert macintyre, who won the scottish open in style on sunday, becoming just the second home winner of the tournament. and our golf correspondent iain carter thinks he could be a dark horse to win the claretjug this weekend. i think there is definitely grounds for optimism for rob macintyre this week. he's yet to win a major

championship, but he said to us at the start of last week that if it wasn't a major that he wanted to win, it would be the scottish 0pen, so that victory meant an awful lot to him. and the way that he did it... yes, he had got a stroke of good fortune on the 16th, when he was in the thick rough and he discovered that he was standing on a sprinkler head, which meant that he got a free drop, and then he capitalised with a brilliant shot into six feet and then holing the birdie putt and then to birdie the last to pip adam scott, it was the stuff of dreams, and it will tell him that when he wants it most, he can deliver, and i think that that is a very precious commodity for any leading golfer, and as a result, he has much to celebrate, not just the fact that he's won his home open. and the men who pipped him last year roy mcelroy, good comeback for him in many respects given what happened to mcelroy at the us open, so perhaps some confidence going into the open —— rory mcilroy. i

confidence going into the open -- rory mcilroy-_ -- rory mcilroy. i think you will feel— -- rory mcilroy. i think you will feel there _ -- rory mcilroy. i think you will feel there is _ -- rory mcilroy. i think you will feel there is enough . -- rory mcilroy. i think you will feel there is enough in | will feel there is enough in his game to sustain him, there was enough for him to be on the fringes of contending throughout the scottish 0pen. throughout the scottish open. the downside for him is the fact that he missed so many putts, and if he had holed more, he could be talking about a title defence. the big question will be, if you can put himself in contention, how does a fair, then, given the massive scale of the disappointment he suffered at the us open last month when he had a winning position and could not convert it? sadly, that is all the time we have got left now, you cannot course can all the latest sports news on the bbc sport app orfrom our website. but for me, marc edwards, and the rest of the team here at the bbc sport centre, we will see you soon. bye—bye!

hello there. monday, we saw a day of contrasts — some pleasant sunny spells across eastern scotland in particular, and a high of 2a degrees around the perth area. that's 75 fahrenheit. totally different story, however, further south and west. a day of heavy rain across cornwall in particular, where we saw three quarters of an inch in a 24—hour period, and some of the rain torrential, with thundery downpours in it. now, that weather front is continuing to push its way steadily northwards, and it will linger first thing on tuesday morning. not a bad start, though, for scotland once again, a few scattered sharp showers to the north—west of the great glen. a few showers developing as we go through the day, but on the whole, there will be a good dry slot with some sunny spells coming through. not a bad start into northern ireland, north—west england as well. here's our weatherfront at 10am in the morning, lingering across east

yorkshire, lincolnshire, gradually drifting its way eastwards. and then as we go through the afternoon, we'll see sunny spells and scattered showers. but these showers across north—east england, eastern scotland could be heavy with the odd rumble of thunder mixed in there once again. 0n the whole, winds light, but again still from that cooler north—westerly source. a bit more of a breeze, perhaps, into the far south—east. and temperatures certainly a little bit more subdued. particularly further north, we're looking at highs of 16—20 degrees. moving out of tuesday, though, into wednesday, high pressure is building and the wind direction changes to a south—westerly. that will draw up a brief spell of warm weather, so it'll be a mild start to our wednesday morning. wednesday on the whole will be dry, with some sunshine for many of us to begin with. we will see a few showers developing as we go through the day. these should be fairly light, but nevertheless it's worth bearing in mind. a little bit of patchy, cloudy drizzle to the north—west of the great glen here, but temperatures will respond on the whole on wednesday. we're likely to see

highest values of 21 degrees in scotland and 2a, perhaps, this time in the south—east. and again, that is 75 fahrenheit. and we haven't seen 75 fahrenheit this july. so let's take a look at what to expect as we head into the weekend. the high pressure will gradually ease away and weather fronts will then return, bringing wetter weather. so, make the most of this brief warm spell. we could see temperatures peaking at 27 on friday. cooler, wetter conditions return for the weekend.
