6:32 pm
england camp. 2a hours on from that record—breaking win against panama. and i'm john watson at the bbc sport centre with the rest of the day's sport. the comeback continues at eastbourne, is wimbledon next for andy murray? and rooney's ready to leave the premier league behind. we have a very busy sportsday this evening. live from moscow at the world cup. it's the busiest week of the tournament. packing 16 matches into the next four days as we finally get the final reckoning in the eight world cup groups. then we can work out who will be playing who in the last 16. we already knew that
6:33 pm
russia and uruguay would be going through to the knockout stage from group a, but they faced each other to find out who could be finishing first and second. russia were very much second best, beaten 3—0. two wins have done russia the world of good, they were hoping to make world advantage count but it was very hot, 33 celsius in the shade, perhaps more helpful to the south americans. your gripe struck first. but luis suarez had help. russia gave him a clear space at goal. uruguay have a habit of responding to the big occasion. they doubled the lead thanks to another russian helping hand, or in this case, a helping foot. cheryshev helping this one in. the difference in quality between the two sides began to show.
6:34 pm
smolnikov was sent off. both teams heading towards the last 16, but uruguay going there on a high. cavani scored the final goal. let's get more on this match. our moscow correspondent was there. good evening, fantastic that samara got to see their national team. ijust wonder if things have been dampened after that wa ke—up call wonder if things have been dampened after that wake—up call against uruguay. the mood is subdued. russia was on such a high before today's game. they played two matches, they w011 game. they played two matches, they won two matches, they scored eight goals. russia began to dream.
6:35 pm
suddenly today, they conceded goals against uruguay. they had one man sent off. it all went a bit sour. having said that, there were thousands of fans in the fan zone, and still plenty of smiles on the face of —— faces of russians when they were leaving the fan zone. and good reason. because russia is through to the next round, the last 16, which is an incredible achievement considering when they went in russia were the lowest ranked side out of all of the teams in the 2018 world cup. russia will be back here on sunday in the last 16, playing at the national stadium against likely to be spain or portugal. do you think if they don't get beyond that, and that would be asking an awful lot, that this wonderful welcome that all of the foreign fans have had, and the teams, is there a worry that might
6:36 pm
dissipate should the team go out then? it is always great for a host nation to put on a world cup and to participate in a world cup. there is certainly a great bounce that russia has got from doing well so far in this competition. it is great as a uniting factor to bring the country together, to bring people together, it's great for the government which is able to get a bounce from dipping well in the world cup, and to distract attention from some of the difficult decisions the government has to take. the government was trying to bury bad news on the opening day of the world cup. talking about raising the pension age and putting up vat. they got criticised for trying to bury bad news with the world cup. if russia goes out of the tournament soon i think the politicians will be disappointed. but the fact they've got out of the group stage, they are
6:37 pm
into the next round, many people did not believe that would actually happen. thank you. it will be a fantastic build—up period to their next game. the other match was saudi arabia against egypt. they would both be going home after this match. what a game. world cup history made by one of the players. we had a mo salah goal and a saudi arabian women. a final appearance egypt in saudi arabia, but will it be the last appearance for mo salah in an egypt shirt? he was first on the scoresheet, giving his country a promising start as they went in search for their first—ever world cup win. two minutes later he almost had a second. but for a finish unbefitting of the king of egypt.
6:38 pm
saudi arabia found themselves welcome recipients for a penalty. but el hadary was not in a welcoming mood. the oldest player in world cup history at a5, his inclusion in this match was not a token gesture. but he could repeat his effort a second time around. aldrew he could repeat his effort a second time around. al drew level. —— al—faraj drew level. so group a finishes like this... uruguay with nine points out of nine, ahead of russia with six. saudi arabia finish third but for mo salah and egypt it proved to be a miserable world cup. so russia and uruguay will meet the winners and runner—up of group b which will also be decided tonight. all of the matches taking place at
6:39 pm
the same time. top of the table at the moment are spain, whose fans have been gathering in numbers in kaliningrad today for their final game against morocco — the spanish might need a superhero or two this evening. morocco are already out. spain have qualification in their own hands thanks to diego costa's goal against a stubborn iran side last week. but they didn't find it easy and their midfielder and bbc world cup analyst cesc fabregas says this evening is a test of their patience. we did not create many chances to be honest. it wasn't the best game. but as we say, in these games, the most important is to get three points.
6:40 pm
most teams against spain defend and block. for the strikers in this case it is difficult to find balls in space, and trying to find the right angle, because sometimes they play with five, six defenders. so it's difficult. they need to be patient. the chances they have, they must score. spain needjust a point against morocco. to portugal against iran. it might get more complicated than that. our reporter alex capstick goes through the permutations for us in saransk. one of the smallest cities of the world cup. it is teeming with portuguese and iranian fans. portugal only need a draw to qualify for the knockout stage but some of theirfans are for the knockout stage but some of their fans are worried about this match. may be because carlos may
6:41 pm
have a plan to shackle cristiano ronaldo. they grabbed a late winner. they made it hard work for spain, losing only to a fortunate diego costa goal. they could have had an equaliser in that match had it not been for var. something the manager is still complaining about. i don't expect iran to throw caution into the wind. but they could make history. if they beat portugal it'll be the first time they have qualified pass the knockout stage in a world cup ever. the maths have been fairly simple so far, which is what i like. the bbc website is the best place to go. we know england and belgium will be looking forward
6:42 pm
to theirfinal and belgium will be looking forward to their final match on thursday. job done for both of those teams to get through to the last 16 with two wins out of two. we can catch up with our captain. wins out of two. we can catch up with ourcaptain. —— wins out of two. we can catch up with our captain. —— we can catch up with our captain. —— we can catch up with david who is at the england training camp in repino. has everybody got a day off today? welcome to repino. a calm evening, replicated in england camp which u nsettled. replicated in england camp which unsettled. if we look at the goals from yesterday's game. how we forget? john stones got the first one. a physical approach from panama. but that goal relieved nerves. after that harry kane converted from the penalty spot to make it two following thatjesse lingard with an incredible strike to make it three. england's first goal
6:43 pm
from open play in the tournament. and john stones scored again. a brilliant set piece that has been worked on on the training ground. then came another penalty. that made harry kane the joint top goal—scorer in the competition. finally harry kane scored one more with a fortu nate kane scored one more with a fortunate deflection. england were backin fortunate deflection. england were back in training again today, just the players who were not involved, and the substitutes, which included dele alli despite a baloy strain he is carrying. i'm told he's making progress. “— is carrying. i'm told he's making progress. —— which included dele alli despite a thigh strain. here are frank lampard's thoughts. he hasn't put a foot wrong. he has changed the team. we are dominating the ball. we are coming up against better teams, but i think the style
6:44 pm
of play is pretty good at the moment. the atmosphere he has created with a young squad is to his credit. whenever he speaks he speaks well. he deals with the media fa ntastically. well. he deals with the media fantastically. and that's important. that's part of his job as england manager. at the moment he has nailed it. there will be tougher things which might come up. but he has been brilliant so far. there might be room for some changes. that probably helps players that haven't had many minutes. it helps the squad to make those changes if needed. at the same time you keep the core of the team because as much as anything moment is such a powerful thing in a tournament like this. and when you are playing so well it would be nice to make a statement against belgium. it would be nice to perform well against a team of their quality. you realise quickly when you get to this stage that it is a different level
6:45 pm
mentally. the players will have to ta ke mentally. the players will have to take that on board. they are all quite young, they don't have much tournament history, but that might help them because they haven't been scarred by previous tournaments. but the pressure will mount up. they will have to be - that is when will have to be ready. that is when gareth and his staff will be really important because they will have to make sure that the mentality remains right throughout. england train again tomorrow behind closed doors. they'll be able to work on their tactics and set pieces which we saw to such effect. then we will hear from one of the players in the afternoon. they train again before flying to kaliningrad where it will be much milder than it was in their match against panama. if england win they will play on monday in rostov, if they come second they play in moscow on tuesday. if they win that match which will be against colombia, japan or senegal, they will then go on to the quarterfinals which will either be on friday night of next week or saturday afternoon.
6:46 pm
clear your diary. but time off work. just in case. that was their biggest ever win at a major tournament. they scored as many goals against panama as they have scored in their previous seven world cup matches. things are starting to get exciting for england and their fans. let's not look too far ahead. thanks, david. fifa were looking into those swiss celebrations as they beat serbia a few nights ago. the three swiss players granit xhaka, xherdan shaqiri and stephan liecteiner a total ofjust under £20,000 for their provocative celebrations in their win against serbia. i asked our sports news correspdoent richard conway,
6:47 pm
how close they were to being banned. fifa were looking at this. article 54 fifa were looking at this. article 5a of the code. that mandate a two match ban and a fine. they would have had to sit out the final group game for switzerland, that pivotal game for switzerland, that pivotal game they've got, and the last round of 16 game should they qualify. fifa have backed off a bit. they've gone to article 57 which talks about unsporting behaviour. they have allowed them to just issue fines. they found a middle way through. this was a highly political issue. the double eagle symbol seen as being provocative in front of serbian fans. the players themselves being of ethnic albanian background. rather than issue bans they have given out fines. they were furious.
6:48 pm
—— the serbian fans were furious. they were very unhappy about this. they were very unhappy about this. they will issue a letter of complaint in due course site is the strength of feeling. but fifa have gone away from that path. they initially looked at bans but they have gone down the path of fines. serbia will react. their post—match comments, they've also been fined, fifa making it clear they want to try and keep the political aspects of the world cup to a minimum. keep it out of the game. so they have issued these actions but have not gone all the way issuing bans. let's talk about the matches over the next four days to decide the groups. are we going to get one of the giants falling out of the world cup before the knockout stage? we have brazil and germany coming up still with work to do. tomorrow
6:49 pm
night in saint petersburg, it is do ordie night in saint petersburg, it is do or die for argentina. their world cup future is out of their hands knowing they must beat nigeria. john bennett is there in the city. all sorts of report coming out from that argentina team of rifts, fights, all sorts of revolts going on, is it all true, are they going to get themselves together against nigeria? i've just been themselves together against nigeria? i'vejust been in themselves together against nigeria? i've just been in a fascinating press co nfe re nce i've just been in a fascinating press conference with the head coach of argentina who was facing pretty tough questions from the argentine press pack. he was forced to deny that there had been a revolt against him by the players. some of the senior players were said to have stood up to him about his tactics, they disagreed with the way he set up they disagreed with the way he set up the team, the way he tried to get the best out of messi. he tried to play it down. the head coach tried
6:50 pm
to play it down, saying there had been no split, he wanted to keep the meetings the players have had private. but it's pretty clear that there are problems behind the scene in this argentina can. i have been talking to all of the journalist in saint petersburg. but let's hear from the argentina head coach. certainly a lot of noise around the team, which doesn't help in this crucial stage. the manager has failed in the line—up. changing from one game to the other. hasn't been able to repeat the same starting 11 in two consecutive games. clearly there are adjustments to do there. the likes of messi and hopefully there be something beneficial for there be something beneficial for the team. because it would a win—win situation. there is the horrible thought that this match could be messi's final
6:51 pm
match at a world cup. if argentina go out, he has retired from international football before, there are rumours he could do it after this world cup. the argentine head coach talked a lot about messi in the press conference we had the last couple of hours. he only had 49 cha pters couple of hours. he only had 49 chapters in the last game against croatia. —— 49 touches. the average is about 77 when he plays for barcelona. the head coach said that the formation did not help him and that they would make some adjustments to the next match. the goalkeeper made some major mistakes, so they will be getting a replacement goalkeeper. argentina are replacement goalkeeper. argentina a re really replacement goalkeeper. argentina are really up against it as they try to get to the last 16. thanks very much. messi certainly looked like
6:52 pm
the little boy lost against croatia. what a game that is going to be tomorrow night. when we come back we will look at the match is about to kick off in group b, but in the meantime let's head back to the studio. not long to go until the start of wimbledon a week today. not long to go until the start of wimbledon a week today. the question on everyone's lips — will andy murray be there? the former world number one yet to confirm if he'll play at sw19. he's continuing his return to tennis after eleven months out at eastbourne today where he's playing stanislas wawrinka —— at eastbourne today where he's beaten stanislas wawrinka in the opening round. he made light work of the first set, sealing it 6—1 inside 30 minutes. the second set was tighter. but murray moving well as he managed a
6:53 pm
first competitive win since last yea r‘s first competitive win since last year's wimbledon when he went out in the quarterfinals. in the womens singles, the world number two and former champion at eastbourne, caroline wozniacki is into the third round. after receiving a bye into the second round. she beat camila giorgi in straight sets. wozniacki hoping to repeat the run that took her to the final here last year. hoping to reach the second round is british number two heather watson. she continues her preparations ahead of wimbledon against kristina mladenovic, a player ranked 28 places above her in the rankings. she took the first set. she is currently trailing in the second 6—5. this one could well go the distance. dan evans remains on course to reach the main draw of wimbledon after victory in the first round of qualifying. he beat ilya ivashka in straight sets at roehampton. two more victories will see him qualify for the wimbledon championships, which begin a week today.
6:54 pm
teh former british number two wasn't given a wildcard by the all england club, following his 12 month drugs ban, meaning he had to compete in pre qualifying to earn the right to fight for a place in the main draw here at roehampton. lets take a look at some of the day's other stories... wayne rooney is on the verge of signing for major league soccer side dc united. the everton foward agreed terms several weeks ago, but was said to be unsure about leaving halfway through his contract with his boyhood club. he's expected to be in the states later this week to complete the transfer. england have been drawn aliongside defending champions west indies in the draw for the women's world t20 to be staged there in november. south africa, sri lanka and a qualifier complete the group. and if australia are to reach the knockout stage in the world cup, they may need this sort of pace up front. look at it go... this furry friend making an appearance duirng a women's match in canberra.
6:55 pm
it wouldn't be moved even with a little effort. but looking as comfortbale between the sticks as it was marauding down on goal. it required a bit more effort to get that match under way. it is certainly something oddly foster is in dealing with in russia. back to you as you continue the build—up to the two group b - tonight. the two group b games tonight. thank you. pretty useful between the sticks. we have these two matches in group b in saransk and colin ingram. the crucial one is portugal against iran. -- the crucial one is portugal against iran. —— kaliningrad. you can see iran. —— kaliningrad. you can see iran taking on portugal. spain will be playing morocco. morocco are already out. iran and spain needing just one point to get to the last 16. uruguay topping their group

6:57 pm

6:59 pm
rolls out. goodbye. you're watching beyond one hundred days... donald trump makes the case for immediately deporting illegal immigrants "who invade his country", without a court hearing. aside from the fact it runs contrary to international norms, it puts him at odds with senior republicans in congress, who are currently legislating for more judges. it is not easy interpreting what donald trump wants from the new legislation, but what is clear is that his zero tolerance approach is popular with republican voters. not so much with democrats. press secretary sarah huckerbee sanders is the latest to be forced out of a restaurant because the owner and her staff objected to the work she does for the president. also on the programme... migration is igniting tensions in europe over who will accept those seeking refuge. italy refuses another rescue ship stranded in the mediterranean.
