6:35 pm
coming home! # football's coming home! we are english. singing we we re we were outnumbered to say the least, but we gave our all. we sang out least, but we gave our all. we sang our heart out. i have never lost them live, i normally watch it at home. a little bit more nervous, because in this could make or break. and i spent a lot of money to get here, so... pied commentator: and this time the referee points of the spot and england have a penalty! ice cool,
6:36 pm
harry kane! it's headed in! it's going to be a penalty shoot out. saved by pickford! eric dier. he does it! england win a world cup penalty shoot out the time ever! may be times are changing! this team is changing things! i honestly felt physically sick, but that was all worth it. when we got the result. the emotions, i've never experienced anything like it. i had a £3 in on top and switched it for a lovely colombian one. we will all be up there, flinging our heart out! singing
6:37 pm
the england fa ns' the england fans' view of a famous, famous night. lets head live to the england training camp, our sports correspondent david ornstein is at the england camp in repino. good evening, david. it has been fantastic following the england's players social media can as they share their moments and what it felt like for them. they are back in now oi’ like for them. they are back in now or is routine, now. it is a tight turnaround for that quarterfinal against the speeds! you have been telling me to keep a lid on the excitement, but even you must be getting excited. there were eight members of these gods at training. most of them want involved at all. it was a short session, because the
6:38 pm
weather was awful. they did a bit of sport cited work. jamie vardy not involved, he had a groin problem that required an injection, last night. he could be an injury doubt. this report has been looking at the indications. england's first win at a penalty shoot out in a world cup finals has been made even more poignant by their manager. gareth southgate has put particular emphasis on penalties in their operation. now, compare this image from last night in moscow, to be won from the old wembley stadium, 22 years ago, and a 25 defender who had his heartbroken at euro 9096. england's you fix
6:39 pm
stomach euphoric summer came to an end. germany went on to win the tournament, and these are memories that has stayed with gareth southgate for the last two decades. he was pictured last night offering consolation to the colombian players. he knows that feeling better than anyone else. congratulations. 22 years of hurt and away like that? nearly. a special night for everyone, i am sure. the english supporters that we re sure. the english supporters that were in the stadium, we kept our calm and discipline in spite of provocation. we have one. you tie if you choose to win that way, you choose to win it every time. an emotional night for southgate. historic one for this man. jordan pickford became the first england goalkeeper to make a save in england's's goal since david seaman. full pickford, it is a culmination
6:40 pm
ofa full pickford, it is a culmination of a rapid rise in the game. after the last world cup, he was still playing on loan at bradford city, in a third tier of english but will. at 24, he is england'sjunkers goalkeeper to play at a world cup. next up —— england's youngest goalkeeper. next up is a trip from their base in repino to samara. against sweden, no longer the superstar pedigree of their super striker who retired, but instead they have used their strength in defensive units to get good wins in estate against mexico and south korea, and then here against its all in sydney last 16. one former england defender thinks gareth southgate's site has nothing to fear. they can relish, enjoy and go on. we are against sweden. they will not hold any fears fast. we would be
6:41 pm
complacent and we will prepare well. i think we are used to the 4—4— two system that we are used to. we are now growing, harry maguire was a marathon at the back. he is really great. to think it is his first season great. to think it is his first season at international football is incredible. kieran trippier is crossing like beckham sometimes. we need to get back our focus and keep winning. well, if we are to look at the world rankings, england are at 12th and sweden at 24. i went to the arena in st petersburg to watch the sweden match against switzerland, and although they are extremely compacted and hard to break down, they don't offer a hell of a lot going forward, and i think it will be very hopeful that they have got good opposition here for a world cup quarterfinal and that they can make it through to the first semifinal
6:42 pm
since 1990. a little earlier, i spoke to an economist for express newspaper in sweden. he said that their country had a new—found respect for england and gareth southgate? much has changed under his leadership. i think we know that this is not an english team that will be typical england side in the past that we have beaten many times, but something new, and that goes not only playing wise and the paying model that they have used, but also in terms of the mentality around the tea m in terms of the mentality around the team and how they have made this a different world cup journey in contrast to what we are used to. what england can expect from sweden isa what england can expect from sweden is a very compact side? yacine brahimi the same game 100 times now. the way that we beat france in qualifiers, and the way that they beat italy in the play—offs, and got past mexico and germany. a very compact 4—4— two.
6:43 pm
past mexico and germany. a very compact 4-4- two. the feeling among england fans would be very optimistic if they had seen switzerland versus sweden. there will be nothing that will surprise them. they did not look like one of them. they did not look like one of the best teams in the competition, a fortu nate the best teams in the competition, a fortunate goal to win it. you think there is a risk of england underestimating sweden that has been a risk of everybody has played sweden in the past two matches. even though it does not look first sight, whenever you pay them, it seems as if not only do the swedish team train patients out of the opponents, but also, they limit them to very, very few chances. they have conceded one goalfrom open play. even though there might be a sense of resignation beforehand, when you come into the game with sweden, i think you will find it as hard as many others have done. now, ended for a few days have been down to a
6:44 pm
22 man squad, because fabian delph has been back in uk, i had of the birth of his third child. well, that child arrived this morning. a baby girl. he now has three baby girls. he took to social media and posted on instagram to confirm the arrival, and that he was the party to come back to russia. he should have landed around about now, and england will be at full strength, and you could be at full strength, and you could be involved against freedom. so, all going to plan, can you believe it, 0lly foster, england cowley—tuioti victories away from a world cup final? stop it, david. great news all round with fabian delph heading back. thanks, david, let'sjust get some more from sweden, now, they have had a media open day at their base down in galendzhik on the black sea, so we have heard from some of their players ahead of the quaretrfinal. we started with a new team. not only
6:45 pm
zlatan, but we had a new coat and a new system. we have done very well. we just need to keep focused, keeping our game, and hopefully we will get the result that we need. well, here is the quarterfinal line—up. a reminder, another rest day tomorrow. it all gets going on friday. your gripe versus france, at 3pm. it's uruguay versus france at 3pm on friday followed in the top half of the draw by a mouth—watering tie, brazil against belgium and you can see that on the bbc. on saturday, there's that match in samara at 3pm between sweden and england. gives you do is to —— gives you goose bumps, doesn't it? the winners of that face the winners of the russia versus croatia tie. the hosts still going strong. here is another world cup story for you. we waved goodbye to cristiano ronaldo, the portuguese losing to uruguay in the last 16. thinking about preparing for a new season with row real madrid. real madrid
6:46 pm
are considering and £88 million bid from juventus, 100 million euros, thatis, from juventus, 100 million euros, that is, for their superstar, that. there are five times champion league —— champions league winner. he is 33, now. it is a lot for a 33—year—old. will they turn down? row real madrid now managed by the spain manager who was sacked on the ease of this world cup, so a big, big bid coming in for cristiano ronaldo. we look forward to the court of final twenty20 days' time. the wimbledon quarterfinals still over a week away. time to catch up now on events on day three at wimbledon, here's holly hamilton. day three here at wimbledon. roger federer‘s been back. the sun's back. serena's back and guess what? the flying ants are back. they have been causing some problems, here, today. particularly
6:47 pm
for caroline wozniacki. no such problems for roger federer though — breezing through to the third round earlier. well i'm joined now by former british numer one john lloyd. what a day? it has started to rain here, today. it hasjust what a day? it has started to rain here, today. it has just started to shower last after beautiful weather all week. you have been 0k, shower last after beautiful weather all week. you have been ok, no problems with flying ants? so far, so problems with flying ants? so far, so far. gets talked about caroline wozniacki. he really did think that that was possibly her year. not to be, though. she won the australian open. she finally got the grand slam off, where so many years, we thought she was going to win a grand slam, looked like she wasn't going to. she came through. she won eastbourne and looked so good, but jazz played well at eastbourne before, and then she came here. it
6:48 pm
did not seem the same player. i don't know why. she has won one grand slam. she looked uncomfortable today. especially when losing, she finds problems and complaints. she was complaining about the flying and. she was asking for bug spray. it is unfortunate, and no problems whatsoever for serena williams. really great to see her back again. it is great! unbelievable. for me, the greatest player of all—time, and think for me, as most people, the greatest of all time. we have got to enjoy her while she is here. hopefully for many more years, because she is absolutely brilliant. she looked very comfortable on the court. really comfortable and powerful, particularly in the first set —— third set. add easier progressing at the beginning, i thought, will it be too tough? but today, the way that she played, and the way that you came forward, she seemed so relaxed. i don't know, there are about 12 women who could win this tournament, and she is one of them. it is an amazing time for
6:49 pm
women's tennis at the moment. it is not like in the men's game whether one 01’ not like in the men's game whether one or two, but any women's game, it is incredible! it is a big group who could win this. at the start, i that garbine muguruza, i put down, but i'm not confident. i also think that kvitova could win. look at caroline wozniacki. with the women's game, you don't know, it's very exciting. with the men's game, their idea. roger federer looking amazing! years from another planet. i been saying that for awhile. he is moving as well as he did in his 20s. would love to know how he does it, it will exciting. you have got to look at the... who can beat him? i think that rafa nadal. .. the... who can beat him? i think that rafa nadal... he would like the rain, because when these courts are ha rd rain, because when these courts are hard like this movie ‘s son, that is
6:50 pm
the best for him, and the weather for sky —— like this with the sun, thatis for sky —— like this with the sun, that is the best him. the firm the court, the better plays. if he gets through this week, which he should, it will be very tough, it would not surprise him at all to get to the finals. i think that roger is the favourite. it would be amazing to see a beat of that incredible final. memo absolutely. i would love to see it again. great, thank you very much for being with us. just one brit in singles action here today — katie swan was on court in the second round against the 29th seed mihaela buzarnescu of romania. all eyes were on the young 19—year—old from bristol but perhaps the pressure was simply to much as jim lumsden reports. swa n swan is under the wing of andy murray's sports team, with andy murray's sports team, with andy murray described him as a player of great potential. she won her first
6:51 pm
game in the main draw, but started nervously with her serve broken at the first time of asking. as it was twice more. the first set six love to otherwise unchallenged mihaela buzarnescu. but swan had become the youngest player... here she showed the remaining that the contest was not over yet, breaking serve the very next game. another 29th seed has soared through the rankings, beating world number five, has soared through the rankings, beating world numberfive, elina svitolina. it was all part of the learning curve for katie swan. just hugely disappointing for katie swan. a lot of pressure at that age, as well? she won her first round. this was a big breakthrough. we have
6:52 pm
got a good future with some of our young women coming up, now, and a pink gash entering this tournament. there is a lot more good stuff. john, thank you so much forjoining us. thanksjohn. former british number onejohn lloyd. well let's take a quick look at the best of the rest here at wimbledon on day three. if five—time champion venus williams had a scare on route to victory over alexandra dulgheru. the romanian won the first set, but williams bounced back to book her place in the third round in three sets. where she'll bejoined by karolina pliskova. it's the first time the former world number one has made it into the third round after beating two—time semi—finalist victoria azarenka in straight sets earlier today. 2016 runner—up milos raonic is through in the men's draw. he beat australianjohn millman in straight sets — with each of them going to tiebreakers. he'll face dennis novak next
6:53 pm
for a place in the last 16. as you know, this wimbledon is vying for attention alongside the events at the world cup in russia — plenty of talk here about england's epic win last night and of course their quarterfinal with sweden. there's plenty of swedish football fans here, and i spoke to men's doubles player robert linstedt and former world number one mats wilander about their thoughts on the big game. obviously, england come in as the favourite but chalk. i think kane will be difficult to stop, but we have got some tall players in the defence, as well. so, again, no pressure on sweden whatsoever. and i think it does mean a look to them, to the players and to the country that we know the english players very well, from watching so much football from the premiership.
6:54 pm
very well, from watching so much football from the premiershiplj always football from the premiership.” always loved watching england play. it is kind of like my second team, i have to say. but on saturday, they will not be my second team.” have to say. but on saturday, they will not be my second team. i was keen to say, actually, you say your second team, but england already saying they feel confident about playing sweden, how you feel about that? it's football. they have been singing that forever and ever. is coming home here! england have got better players than ours, but as a team we are very strong. i do believe that england are the favourites. sweden in the quarterfinals of the world cup, a huge deal! what has the atmosphere than mike in sweden? not a huge deal to england? have you seen the front pages? i have not been home for a long while, and i'm reading the papers and seeing friends. it is amazing. everybody is talking about 1994 again, and it is the best summer we have ever had. he weather
6:55 pm
has been amazing, and everybody is saying it is 94 again. so, everybody is so happy at home. that is the only sad part about being here, because to be at home when you have your whole country just in because to be at home when you have your whole countryjust in so much ivy, your whole countryjust in so much joy, it is amazing. and robert actually did say to me as well that he will be watching it in his run away from any pubs and bars with his fiancee is that the safety of his fiancee. he will be shouting through every goal. that is all from wimbledon finau. but back to 0lly foster in moscow. more from the world cup build—up, ? so let's return to saturday's quarter—final where england are aiming to reach the semi—finals for the first time it has been tipping down here. we are like drowned rats. we understand
6:56 pm
that it will be a furnace in samara, where england face sweden. the first thing that england players will notice is the intense heat here. much hotter than a training base in repino. during that game, which kicks off —— kicked off earlier. by the end of the game it was still 30 degrees, so i think stamina and energy levels will play a big part in the match. remember, that england had extra time and penalties, but england's —— sweden's last game ended in wartime. lots of lovely beaches on the banks of the volga river. they will have a great time. one of the biggest games in a bid's recent history taking pics on saturday at the arena behind it. so much for the space history in
6:57 pm
samara. it will be fantastic. their first trip with a semifinal place —— the first trip there, with a semifinal place at stake. from all of us, both there and at the all—england club and here in moscow, it is goodbye for now. hello, some warm sunshine today, but some also —— also some showers, which should fade away overnight. it is becoming drier. there will not be much mist orfog or mot is becoming drier. there will not be much mist or fog or mot cloud. is becoming drier. there will not be much mist orfog or mot cloud. most of us will be kept in the north sea. —— most of it will be kept in the north sea. towards the north west, we have got a band of cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland. that should push its way inland, the
6:58 pm
cloud breaking up in the afternoon. to england and wales, but some thundery downpours, perhaps in wales. still, a lot of dry areas, although a warm if not hot favourite england and wales, but noticeably cooler than today for scotland as northern ireland. the temperatures will pick up as we head into the weekend, for scotland and northern ireland. still plenty of dry weather and plenty of sunshine, too. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. angela merkel says transit centers for immigrants will be set up on germany”s border with austria. it's part of her bid to save her government by cracking down on migration into germany. we will ask if president
