tooth welcome to well come to diana down role pop back or we are live at all studio dow. that was a front in the house station castle. the last few hours for teams have time to place in the knockout stages as we reach the business end of the group stage party the united states have a break to run by a single goal to qualify for the last fixed aid. it's russia to the double for england, you kind of bracket right to all secured it a free they'll when i will while and set a goal, roll it to the last day. the lines of that i got the opec google to kill that place in the next round. i did the life of the dots, the netherlands finished top of the group with a to know when are the host. mm

. but johnny made a studio for the show is what will adolescent on our guard, we're joined by professor, by jude's already an expert on it right now. the fact that we'll get that thoughts in just a moment. but 1st, united states have knocked iran outs all cattle. 2022. the united states killed their place in the last 16 with a one. no victory over the writings. at out to me on a stadium. ron's 1st choice goalkeeper was on the pitch for kicked off off. he picked up an injury in the open us, but there was nothing he could do to stop christian protestants putting up one mill, but the ford paid the price, injuring himself, scoring the 1st goal, and he was made to sobbed off the wire. so he double the u. s. made in the door and 2nd of the 1st, but the referee, roosevelt story iran with desperate for a to go as a draw would see the 3 to the knockout stage in the dining moment. maybe pardon me, was not found in the book, the referee did a what a pedal think of the,

getting it in a window victory to the u. s. put them through as the 2nd qualifier in group b. so that means they will face the netherlands in the round of 16 when there's already one of the most anticipated batches of the groups that use that it was alive. you know, it's the amount of study and the rent to so much watching the game for us did the us just have to get through. i mean, iraq have surprised many at this well cut, but maybe not enough in yes, it is a highly charged atmosphere is as you can imagine, i think rule rule, the background noise, the surrounding distinction. the only thing that really messes the players was what it meant. their immediate, well, each is, i mean iran done really well just to get themselves back into any sort of contention. replaced in the last 16 us about 6 to los, i mean they're opening game against england came out really strong. i'm against. well, one of the games that have told them they why they school like to go deep into deep isn't tom going wild, but just lacking that little bits of clarity in front of goals and nights. i mean

the us scoring goes again a huge problem for them. it's the, you know, the eternal problem, the football and the solution for the u. s. moral, not his christian pillar stage so that he hoping he is fit to play. i'm in the last 16. the best the us to have it done in the world cup was in 2002 and the total was last held in asia. they reached the quarter finals on that occasion. and this generation of players now 2 decades on those off the chance to equal or even better than face. yeah, they get it, they get an e christian picture to be to be fit for that game or i think i, andy, i well let's get more of this with al jazeera football and let one around go. and our guest catch our university professor. my job is maria. i don't want to start with you 1st. so much talk about the political significance of the matches and it was referring to. but the us did that talking on the patients i needed to at the end of the day, you have to do your talking on the pitch when you're football that basically your

job. i mean that's the most, i am not seeing anything revolutionary there from that perspective. but the us, we're able not only to score, we're able to doing it to create opportunities, but they also muddled up iran when they were trying to play out of their own back. so. so you start to see a team that lacked that clarity. as you mentioned before, towards the end and as desperation did start to set in because obviously a draw would help them go through. you saw her on side, those pushing forward, sometimes aimlessly, sometimes with a little vision, but still momentum pushing on very close to all those one ball that went through that ends up slipping past the goalkeeper and it's clear almost near the line. so you, they did have opportunities, it's just that the clarity was on the side of the us this time around, instead of iran. and again, as andy was saying, you know, iran were beaten, that didn't have 6 girls conceded against of in the 1st round of 1st match. i came back from that sort of recall that when i have a whiles, i mean it's been an eventful tournament for them, but i can't be proud of of ceremonies and historical specially the dignity that i've shown off the page. yeah, i mean as a footballer it, it's hard to try and,

and be the voice in be that representative of the country in a proper manner. i mean, the iranian players have to go through it. and to a certain extent, the us players have to go through it and, and i give a couple of examples like tyler adams who was asked certain questions. and he tried to have that balancing act of trying to be justifiable and understanding, showing some empathy and also saying, hey, you know, i know what you're going through. i know what the players are going through in having to have having to balance all those things ends up making it that much more difficult as a play as a person that really doesn't have any influence from the dip. matic side has actually no control over it. for let's get the thoughts of professor my job as ari who's a professor from cat, our university, an expert on all things iranian affairs, and professor, how has iran so well, cap campaign? here, a cat actually 22. been viewed by people back home in iraq. i'm, it's obvious that from day one, this participation of iranian tim has been politicized on the 1st a game where they are,

the team basically did not repeat the anthem and was reflected badly. and inside there on there was a clear division between people because part of it and society perceived this as, you know, are basically supporting those who were killed in the last 23 months. and part of that part of the say to perceive this as actually a lack of support to the regime. and basically they say that the team actually is not in favor of the regime. and that basically cleared the problem to the, to the team and a front of the government and the, you know, and, and i, it seems to me that the team was worried about what would be the consequence of the 1st game after what happened in the after what happened in the bears game or that that leaves me unlikely to my 2nd question. well, what will the consequences be for the reigning team when they go home? do you think they will have issues with the reigning government? you know, it was, i mean, k, honda may newspaper was very close to the stablish mint. they accused them of band put, she had the country basically, and then there were basically they are not a good they're playing to defend the nation. and that was basically demonization of

the team, and it's not clear how the government react or the institution the ministry of support wasn't doha. and he showed a lot of support to them. so it seems you, as, as you know, was sending a message to them not, not to accept, was published in the me, debbie or the end of the day in are people that aren't happy of their performance. however, i think it's obvious that you, what's happened inside iran in the last 3 months and previously after the sanctioned iran 2018 of yes, it had hardly team and the sport and it generally, i think this is one of the modification we saw 2 nights ago we watch of interest, what happens to those iranian plays on their return, hard to around, but thank you professor for your time and thank you, we'll talk to you little bit later, but let's move on to the other guy in that group. england secure that passage as group be witnessed by beating british rivals while the well she needed

a way to have any chance of qualifying a poor girl. victory for them could have not. england now stood boscus rashmi had other ideas. he had a 1st talk effort said by daddy ward bucks off the break, the man just united strike a story with a brilliant free kick. the about the been ali stadium. nothing to keep it could have done about that one minute. like to england, double their leads. captain harry came with the assist helping out man. if you still fight in to school with a 22 year old retiring manager, sounds great. giving him his 1st start, cuts out 2022 and it was the other match. the boy rush ready completed, the scoring ceiling a 3 the way with he said, go of the tone of it. that leads him as jordan top score so far. you tell us surprise on about that. well, let's start with our finished part of that route. english been to top of the group, i very will say set a goal next. that's what our bikes on sundays are case. i'm very happy england parents leaving the denali study mean around to the west of high and some well

plans preparing to head home full races with them. england told back on a high and through what made the difference well, hello. so those funds have disappeared into the night now, but said, you know, for england, garris, after the coaches had a lot of criticism and had a lot of criticism for making substitutions to late. but i think he was the changes he made before this game that most obviously made the difference, sat in a there's been clamor fil phone of man city at to get a chance, as he said, rushford to start and also kyle walker. i'm gay getting on the page perhaps at, with a view to trying to stop in by pay later in the tournament. if, if england get beyond senegal, we know english, we're good in the 1st half, but a tendency to stop genus again as that, as that shown against the u. s. by the 2nd off, they just really burst into life photon bursting forward. winning a free kick rush,

but striking that home and then rush, but immediately the couple of minutes late to dispossess him. been davis. and for wales passing diary cane, he found phil photon and, and then rush for it again with the 3rd. and it was a substitution. calvin phillips who played the ball over the for him. many expecting calvin phillips, a kind of hero of their euros campaign. not to be brought here, but dash southgate showing faith and bringing him back into the fold. so it seems to be those changes that really, really helped help england and nothing but positives really. and in this, as this, in this much as they taught the group school, they want 100 woke up goal. and then school 9 goals in the group stages at major told me for the 1st time. okay, full great stuff. thank you very much. we're gonna have to leave it there, but thank you for now. while the mixed emotions are at the border between the 2 british rivals, nadine baba has been with fans from both sides. enjoy just some kalani mini.

oh, that's roy. this is he said, was it a divided village? but we are on the english side in a place called the cross keys hotel you can see, finds behind me perhaps you can see some red shirts. it is a mixture, very much leading towards england here and i'm joined by the man that runs the place jason far. jason, how can i, how much a good match you are able to watch tonight because you were busy, but it was a great atmosphere. it was quite noticeable that england and wales fines were actually getting on is that quite normal for your place? is ability said public community village. although the lines will comes down in the middle of the village. returning to wales, the atlas span, the friendship between the 2 is put in, it always has been and they just absolutely say was your husband's like? it's been a great night. so now englander through and wales an hour. does this mean that all of your welsh punches will automatically be back in england? well, if you will, they'll be back to follow listen to all of the rest of being digital tournament.

but i'll be honest with sending everybody likes. yeah, you got people that live on both sides of the line is family friends with colleagues. so it's all about lot is nothing else. good friendly. and i hope they'll join us and to celebrate new mexico. so a lot of people, you know, and in certain parts of england and wales really did want to see each other knocked out. you're saying that's not quite well how people feel here. i'm not sure if it's a little scenario. we would want wells to go through exactly the same. yeah. until one knowing that i saw, well, we would have taken that route and that would have been put in because they could have progressed together. we would want to obviously continue support, right. the rest of the term in the hotel and then we could about it in the wells fargo. and what are you feeling about english johns? he's now a well going to go all the way and i will bring it home. obviously you can, i did it. you can hear the song about grades is coming home. no getting carried away. no, not yet. not soon. not too early. we'll take one game at song, the got great shot. thank you very much. enjoy the rest of the evening. well, these celebrations here. no, just with england finds it probably, as you can hear,

continuing in wales that will be heartache. there will be a lot of tears being shed, of course, around england. this was a very solid result. a lot of people were talking about perhaps a game without goals. well, it certainly wasn't that, and it's introduced new people, new names who could be stars of the tone of people like mock is rochefort. sorry about that. he whispered quietly, could be coming home. i'm sure that someone's gonna mention now about paul day, but thank you for now. the dave. so why don't have to say at least once you called it what we were chatting before. why hadn't filled photon started for england up until this match and he was the difference that because he wanted to free kick them off contracts with god. and then he popped up to score himself. and i can also say that market structure was a difference because obviously he scores the goal. so immediately he's the one that steals the ball that creates the opportunity to make it to an l. so both of them are very integral parts of england. line up today,

so you have to give them credit for, for being those relative catalyst. and let's get our south guy credit because, you know, he picked you, started fired and started russia because i was the rest of the solve it in the 1st guy and against iran. i don't have that figure. that freshness, fleet afoot, the paste, that is gonna scan it seems like running this competition, not just the individual pace. the speed at which england was moving the ball around . really kept whales, a bit off kilter. you saw defense that was always scrambling around that. that 1st pass out ended up being erroneous. a lot of times, the way that they played in the midfield, you really didn't know who to mark, who are, what are go, what to go, where. so that was a big difference for england as well. okay, we'll get that. awesome. perfect. so i will talk to you a little bit later on, but let's get to the soon as things are decided, a group i and again, full of tension that relief a stadium set, a goal secure that to get to the outside of the going to get england after to one that thread up against could all that could or needed just to draw to qualify,

but it was set a goal all the attack early just before half find very wait in front when they were awarded a penalty. it's marla saw scoring his 1st well cup go to get started, go the lead a quarter for could all sort of equalize an hour into the game. what is to say, don't escape your market to find the net figure the nation set to go get their potent notes on progress. just 2 minutes later that captain cali don't call a bonnie during the winter gulf. don't play his left heart broken off that big. so close to going through central become the 1st african team you qualify for the next day. and as i said, i think lynn's next when a great day for the senate golf fans actually for stay to watch the game for us and catching up with a happy supporters. mister haled blake. well, if anyone thought there'd be no life to send a girl off to the loft assad yamani to injury, while those the living for any might silence the fans, leaving behind me,

they were trained to do a really lively performance. then i got through to the last 16 likes of holiday coolie balise melissa. really shown in this much and help them get to the next round. dina manor can see what it means to all the fans here. they came out to support them, became hauled away from the card to support done, and we're happy that they made it. they made us proud to represent africa. they represent a whole new like it's a new development. this is amazing front. well, this wind has been a long time coming within a goal and advance remember, is 2000 do 20 years ago than they had the amazing wrong to the core to final. and then at the last will gothic crashed out the new, brutal age due to the number of yellow coffee accumulated this time. however, there's no doubt it going to the last 16 and then fans are going to enjoy every moment here in kat cell phone, a great chief by san diego showing that there's a lot more to them than sad air bonnie debt. well yeah, the, some of the parts is what ends up being key for them. there's a reason why the,

the, the, the, the reading african champions. but going back to kelly do, can you believe that was a great? well, i'm going to paraphrase it because of course, that there's a lot of different tinges to, to with dig lamar the late dig. mardina said about kelly locally. well, he said that he should be playing at one of the big clubs in, in, in, in europe. he is right now at chelsea, but the quality that he's been able to show it synagogue is one of the reasons why he's where he's at. yeah. and to see him to day finally step up after many, asking him to ends up being a major point. same thing with his mile sr, who went up really having to fill some big shoes with sadie or mine out. i just quickly, how disappointed will it will that could obey because it was fair and a part of hired that last 16 place. when we talked about youthful insolence, we also have to talk about youthful innocence. when you start to see a young ecuador said, still learning how to handle those situations, became awfully close a couple of times. but still, it's part of that learning experience. i thought what if i was talking about and

they will definitely use that as a building block for cope america and for the work up for. thank you for now. well, there was plenty of excitement back in senate goal and they can talk joy phones in dhaka as they've gotten use of the results. ah, with they have been waiting for them to go is qualified. 1 through to the last 60, against all odds with outside your money. and people now are celebrating 70000000000 people across this country and beyond. and they won this game against all, all scoring from coolie valley and also from saw. it shows that the team is not only made up that your money, but much more. and this is the magic of football. millions of

people are now celebrating here and know the lines up there i got are now celebrating in the beginning for them much more than the celebration. this is for them. the world that it's best for the nav, lindsay book, their spots in the round of 16 with a comfortable when i have a higher scatter, it needed the draw and they found a group guy used to kill their progress, but they went one better. the last. how the gap pro got the open, the goal for the deadness controlling is run of scoring it every game so far. this well comp and at one and a half time thought. so i made feel to frankie, the young double the late for the amended orange after the break because they feel they comfortable ways to finish top of food. i could have been more substitute stephen burke outside the ball in the day for the bite stadium in the city of our coal, but it was eventually rolled out by the i off for a handful by that car in the build up. i said dark house all start hitting the bar, the closing stages, but 2 was out finished to the dutch catalogues dab you well cup jedi ends the asian

champions becoming the 1st host to these all 3 groups. night guards and implants are now 18 consecutive games. i'm beta next, united states side are trouble for the doc staring. what they needed to do and what they've been able to do throughout the entire turn minute. the key was starting out strongly, beating synagogue, establishing them. so maybe it wasn't the best match. but as the tournament has gone on, they've gotten better, they've understood what we've on her wants them to do. and more importantly, they already have their site set on going as deep as possible into this tournament . and cattle, the asian champions. i mean, they will be disappointed not to shar in the carnival, that one of that title surely, yes. but then we also have to look at what's going on last 6 months. they haven't been preparing in the best manner. they haven't had the best preparation in terms of in game preparation, game speed, and all that little bit. can i tell you that was a big thing that the coat said you oh, my teams together. i want to be able to drill them. so you think that was this

turned out to be about in do need in a world cup, you need to have game speed. you need to be up to par with your opposite should at this. and if you don't have that match fitness, it's not gonna work. okay, well, i'm going to move on now. many supporters. back home. happy. of course, there was quite a party in amsterdam step batson was watching with thousands of fans. oh, a many of them are not with us and this is now the winner will pay the analysis now with
