6:32 pm
it's a young and inexperienced world cup 23, but gareth southgate says he's got the balance just right. moyes and allardyce both found out today that they are free this summer — west ham and everton need to find new managers. the giro d'italia reaches the halfway point and simon yates has stretched his lead — just the ten stages to go before they finish in rome. johanna konta is already enjoying the capital — she reached the third round of the italian 0pen. good evening. over two weeks before the official fifa deadline, gareth southgate has shown his hand, and it could be seen as something of a gamble.
6:33 pm
at 2pm this afternoon, across all social media platforms, the fa revealed their world cup squad of 23 for russia. they commissioned this video to do the job, groups of teenagers up and down the country calling out the name of each player that has made the cut. only two england squads at past world cups have had a younger average age. lots to talk about, so much reaction to the squad selection. injust a moment, i'll be chatting to the former england captain, terry butcher, about southgate‘s picks. but first let's cross to wembley and speak to our sports correspondent, david 0rnstein. good evening. we will hear at length
6:34 pm
from gareth southgate tomorrow, but he has talked about how excited he is with this youthful looking team. he has admitted that is inexperienced. take us through the 23. i can't offer you that level of entertainment, but i can give you the names. there are three goalkeepers in the squad, jack butland, stoke city, relegated this season. butland, stoke city, relegated this season. jordan pickford the favourite from everton and nick pope, who has not played a game for england, although he was in the last squad. then nine defenders. john jones from manchester united, kyle walker, gary cahill who has come back into this squad, providing the experience was not danny mcguire, trent alexander—arnold who we will speak about in a moment. then seven players in midfield. jordan henderson, another contender for the
6:35 pm
captaincy. eric dier, dele alli, jesse lingard, and ruben loftus—cheek of crystal palace. last season, chelsea here is parent club. there are also five players named on stand—by, including adam lallana, who is perhaps the shock claim to miss out on the 23. it is very green when you think about what they could become —— they could be coming up against. you mentioned trent alexander—arnold, he has no caps at all, or you look at ruben loftus—cheek, with no caps. but those players stand up for what they have done this season. trent alexander—arnold, 19 years old, an old head on young shoulders. as shown for liverpool this season.
6:36 pm
he starred in the quarterfinal. then in the semifinal against roma, home and away. we has not played a single game for england, never been in the squad before. he has come through the youth levels and train them. ruben loftus—cheek, 22 years old, he started at wembley in november. he was named man of the match. we had a speu was named man of the match. we had a spell of injury and returned at the end of the season to help crystal palace to safety. he was perhaps not unexpected after the injury to alexander 0xlade—chamberlain. unexpected after the injury to alexander 0xlade-chamberlain. three goalkeepers with very little experience compare to joe, goalkeepers with very little experience compare tojoe, who has 70 odd caps. gareth southgate said
6:37 pm
he had the choice between experience and these new players. the choice is between jordan pickford and these new players. the choice is betweenjordan pickford and and these new players. the choice is between jordan pickford and jack butland. butland was relegated with stoke, pickford so impressive for everton but tender of age. he is expected to get the nod in goal. it will be strange not seeing joe hart, who has been in the england squad for the last three major tournaments. but many people will be pleased with his selections there. when you look at all of the stats that will be pored over before the first game, they are well below the number of caps they had before the last world cup. only five of the same names from the previous world cup. none of the players in this england squad have won a single match in a world cup finals. it is
6:38 pm
very green. many people will say they are not scarred from previous failures with england and it bodes well for the future. england bidding to win the world cup in qatar in 2022, as greg dyke said. it is a youthful squad, but they go with plenty of hope and optimism that they could cause something of a surprise. many thanks indeed. lets' have a closer look at the squad now with former captain terry butcher. well, long. are you excited by this 23? i'm excited. it is notjust for this competition but for the euros in and then in qatar as well. if you
6:39 pm
look at the way he's going to the back three to start with, it looks as if he is going that way. we found the 23 at 2pm. i put you on your spot and asked you about the your spot and asked you about the your 11th. you went with that three at the back and you believe that kyle walker, john stones and phil jones will be the three men at the back. i don't think they will be, thatis back. i don't think they will be, that is my team. i can't second—guess gareth. it should be that three? it is a good three at the back. five spurs players in there. the experienced cahill is out. and obviously be left wingback. a steady five men. just more experience than anything else. ken as yourcaptain? experience than anything else. ken as your captain? yes, without a shadow of a doubt. you mentioned
6:40 pm
kyle walker and this back three. you think that... i kyle walker and this back three. you think that. .. i quite kyle walker and this back three. you think that... i quite like kyle walker and this back three. you think that. .. i quite like that. whenever gary neville played in that position in 1996, when he has to go to white areas, he is comfortable. he adds some pace, phenomenal pace at the back that england have not necessarily had in recent years. i'm quite pleased with the back three. i would be happy with that. the test will be against belgium. tunisia should not present too much of a problem. for people like kyle walker to come forward, they can leave jones back. they have got those two matches first. how far could this 23 go? everybody has asked me that question and i don't know. if he can get to the quarterfinals, that would bea get to the quarterfinals, that would be a massive success for the next two tournaments. we won't win it, i am saying for the first time ever!
6:41 pm
it is looking like possibly germany in the quarterfinals. when you get an easy qualifying campaign, it is that one match at time. i'm sure gareth will have looked at the opposition and said, this is how we will play if we can in those group matches and then who knows after that? we got through the group stage in the euros and them at iceland. there are some liverpool players in there. there is a stand—by group of adam lalla na and there. there is a stand—by group of adam lallana and others. southgate has admitted that that he's one of those will probably squeeze their way into the 23. england's track record when it comes to injuries. i
6:42 pm
would not necessarily have done it like that, but he is right. there is a good balance. let's look forward to it. no expectations, let's get behind england. stay with me, terry. as you can imagine, there has been a lot of reaction to this squad announcment all over social media, but azi farni has been monitoring some of the 23 twitter feeds of the players on the plane. i think it is there to say there are some excited players about to go out to russia. let's start with manchester united's ashley young. he said, maybe this picture said i would live my dream and go to the world cup. this is the picture he tweeted of himself in an england shirt, which i think is a 1986 shirt. you might know better than me. let's move on to kyle walker. he said, the one called you don't want
6:43 pm
to miss, with a screen shot of him missing a call from gareth southgate. why you would not have it next to you all throughout the day, i don't know. marcus rashford here, saying, after you standing on the touchline in the rain, for years, ma'am, we're off to the world cup. dele alli as well, saying it is an honour to be named. a dream come true. that honour is a bit of a theme. see you in russia indeed. thank you. terry butcher is still with me. what was it like when you got the call? 0r what was it like when you got the call? or was it a call back then?” never got any call from bobby robson. you saw it on teletext. just on there. that was it. that was the
6:44 pm
only form of communication. i wonder if some people have had to fill in these forms, like we have had to do for the bbc. i doubt it. a fantastic moment for a professional player. the players that are playing now, i a hope they don't have that injury in the back of their mind. i hope they can get through that and the two warm up they can get through that and the two warm up games they can get through that and the two warm up games and then look forward to it. it will hit them now because they will be bombarded with m essa 9 es because they will be bombarded with messages and these kind of things as well. they have got to keep their feet on the ground and make sure they are focused and bring their boots. just remember your boots, that is the most important thing. they will be well looked after. when you are in that england bubble, what was it like when you got into a major tournament? you actually feel quite alone. that is what gareth southgate
6:45 pm
will have to content with. he is experienced enough to know that. just being alone and away from everything. they have got the internet and they can go on that, so thatis internet and they can go on that, so that is fine. but he will have moments of boredom where you are not doing anything. you get into a routine, you eat, train, eat and sleep. then it is another day. they have got to curb that. but getting the boys together, they will be eager to talk about things from the start. the more they talk together, the more bonded they will be, the more confidence they have in each other. it is a squad that can be moulded into shape, moulded into a successful unit. but the spirit is key. the ability is there, but get the spirit right and they are together, who knows what will happen? many thanks. it is fascinating stuff. we will hear more from terry on 5 live sport to mac
6:46 pm
from terry on 5 live sport to mac from 7pm. 0n the day that southgate names his england world cup squad, we learned that world cup winner ray wilson has died at the age of 83. the left back played in every england game at the 1966 world cup. at 31, the left—back was the oldest player in sir alf ramsey's starting xi which beat west germany in that wembley final. he also won the fa cup with everton that year but spent most of his club career with huddersfield, who say they are devasted by the news that their most famous player has passed away. he was diagnosed with alzheimers disease 1a years ago. ray wilson, england world cup winner, who has died at the age of 83. well, there's been two high—profile managerial changes in the premier league this afternoon. david moyes has left his job as manager of west ham. moyes replaced slaven bilic earlier in the season but he only signed a short—term deal which expired yesterday. west ham have today confirmed
6:47 pm
he won't be carrying on despite steering the club to premier league safety. it's also been confirmed sam alla rdyce has left his position at everton. the former england manager guided them to 8th in the premier league this season but he leaves despite signing a deal until the summer of 2019. it's likely he'll be replaced by the former watford boss marco silva. one other football departure, eni aluko, is leaving the double winners chelsea ladies. she has been at the club for six years, and also did the double with them in 2015. she is 31 and been on the fringes of the starting xi this season. she has been linked with a move to paris st germain. lots more to come on sportsday tonight, including david coulthard on the f1 season and his worries about future coverage of the sport. we're on the cusp at the end of this

year of formula 1 going behind a pay wall in the uk, which is the first time that that has happened. i probably wouldn't have what the sport growing up if that was the case. “— sport growing up if that was the case. —— wouldn't have watched. and still sitting pretty in pink. simon yates keeps hold of the lead in the giro after winning stage 11. a former youth footballer who says he was sexually abused by former rangers youth coach gordon neely at ibrox in the 1980s, has been told by the club he should direct his complaint to a company of liquidators, according to an emailfrom rangers' lawyers seen by the bbc. neely, who has been accused of multiple sexual attacks on boys, died in 2014. mark daly‘s report contains descriptions of abuse that some viewers may find upsetting. david, which is not his real name, trained at rangers in the 1980s but
