generations of england players have tried and failed gareth southgate is the tenth fulltime maanger since england reached the semi—finals at italia 90, but he will bring si young england team back to moscow next week with a place in the world cup final at stake. they were so assured in their quarterfinal, business like, beating sweden 2—0. adam wild reports. boarding the shabbat, the journey to this point has been long. fraught with frustrations, but this is a new england. a new generation unburdened
6:34 pm
by disappointment of the past. the pride and passion remained now to see how much further that can take them. but again, they stay calm and composed, both sides trading early blows. this was harry kane's early opening. this is england, and they have more than just one harry. opening. this is england, and they have more thanjust one harrym opening. this is england, and they have more thanjust one harry. it is headed firmly in. he got his head through it. if one harry does not get you the other one well. a memorable first international goal for harry maguire. having found the way through the swedish defence, they were keen to find another before half—time. the chance, a moments hesitation and it was gone. still on thisjourney, moments hesitation and it was gone. still on this journey, throughout the england team, heroes are emerging. goal keeperjordan pickford, saving the header and england's lead. but as he stepped up others would step forward. england
6:35 pm
inspired. this is the stuff of dreams from the three lions! at 2-0 lead, only one man you want helping to protect. is another remarkable saved by pickford. but nerves were temporary. england deserved this. he was football journey may temporary. england deserved this. he was footballjourney may have been long but this team are getting closer. adam wild, bbc news. the stuff of dreams. let's had now, where banned. the historical quarterfinal, she has been following england all the way around russia. we start with this? the next couple of nights we have been speaking, asking whether he could get his team back down to ground, focused after the penalty shoot out you are hearing moscow. that was simply
6:36 pm
nerveless, wasn't it was mac yes, this was the thing. theyjust looked so this was the thing. theyjust looked so cool and calm and composed and certainly mature beyond their years. they are the youngest and least experienced side in this time and have been right from the start. that performance tonight was, i say tonight because we are ahead of england, we, it was composed and almost shocking to watch. i have not managed to gather my thoughts. england really did not get off to the greatest star, let's be honest. it was slow, ponderous at times, we we re it was slow, ponderous at times, we were not giving them anything to worry about. but if harry kane does not give him the ball, harry maguire well. of course sterling had an excellent game. he did not quite have that final product but fans really were willing him on. i have not seen so many fans willing one
6:37 pm
player to score a goal as they had. a lot of fans around the were calling for him to be hauled off but when he rose again to score that second goal, the england fans that we re over second goal, the england fans that were over here to my left were in absolute wonderland. the end of the game, england players looked exhausted, they did not render each other straightaway, theyjust looked tired. but eventually they made their way over to the fans who cheered them from the start. they did not stop singing and decided to have a little dance. some players went and spoke to their family. they gave the fans their shirts, and gareth southgate came up to the end and did his conducting of the songs that he likes to do and it has become a well worst thing for them 110w. become a well worst thing for them now. through to the semifinals, just to put in context, eight of these players were not born the last time england made the semifinal. it really is completely new territory
6:38 pm
and asked gareth southgate said, they are writing their own history. that was i was saying. generations of players have failed. england came close to semifinals in 2002, and 2000 six. but since then, they have not come close at all. you mentioned gareth southgate. a young manager whose first major championship. i suppose he, like the players, just has not been scarred by previous experience really with his manager had on. yes, and of course we know he was scarred by the penalty miss but i think what he has done has has used that pain and really got a team of players here who respect him and trust him and trust his judgement. there are times when fans screaming around us the whole day, in ten
6:39 pm
minutes later he scores. every day he touches turns to gold. with this england side and let's be honest, they are not a team of world beaters yet. they're still very much not the finished article. we always said that a quarterfinal would be an absolute brilliant achievement. the way the cards are following, they may never have this opportunity again and if you think the players that have gone before that did not make semifinals, these kind of players, part of the golden generation that failed on the big stage, if you think the players that are now out of this tournament, this isa are now out of this tournament, this is a team of rafters, led by an nice man ina is a team of rafters, led by an nice man in a waistcoat. we just did not think this would happen but it is happening because they love each other. they work for each other, they work so hard for each other and they work so hard for each other and they believe in each other. they are not scarred by these past failures that so many in the teams have had. frankly it is a joy to be able to follow them around and watch them. we have is peculiar semifinal
6:40 pm
line—up. france and belgium, on the other half who will feel the winner of that will probably be favoured. the final, we have got brushed against croatia, and the next 20 minutes or so, for the right to face england, that england have got to face all out again. we're going to welcome you back to moscow and the england team in four days' time. but they will know that it is another step towards this improbable world cup final but they will never have a better chance because it is the first semifinal without a germany, without in argentina, without a brazil. we have never had that before. yes, but with this england side is that throughout the whole tournament they have done everything their own way. we are the ones making all the noise, we are the ones doing the talking. they are simply taking it one game at a time and letting their game do the talking for them. and at no point will any of them have looked ahead
6:41 pm
at the next match. we have given them plenty of opportunities. we have asked that they are beginning to dream. in a team times and different ways and all they ever say, is to say we might not have this opportunity again, the cards might not fall for us. they will not be getting carried away at all. they will very much get back to their basics, had a chill day tomorrow and go again and this does feel now like there is something special in this site. it really does feel like football, to use a clich , might be coming home. many thanks indeed. safe travels. we welcome you to my scalp once again, shortly. let's hear now from players and coaching staff, the manager gareth southgate who has really masterminded just what is going on here in russia. we knew we would have a majority of the ball, it wasjust
6:42 pm
knew we would have a majority of the ball, it was just whether we could break them down. identified a few areas where we could do that, and it plays, but again because we are getting into good areas on the page and they were a really well organised team. over the years we have underestimated them and today i think our spirit was as good as theirs and our quality was a bit better. let's get to the two harry's 110w. better. let's get to the two harry's now. one has an international goal and the other is on six here in russia still leading the race for the golden boot. so much preparation. from the second round, it was fantastic today, a difficult game, long balls, different to what we have faced so far, it was brilliant. we are buzzing. at that peaceis brilliant. we are buzzing. at that peace is legal. it was not your day, but harry maguire, first goal for england, and that makes you only the
6:43 pm
fourth player to score their first goalfor england fourth player to score their first goal for england and fourth player to score their first goalfor england and a fourth player to score their first goal for england and a knockout game in the world cup. what a way to start. you cannot get better than that. that's what we set out to do. tell me a little bit about the performance. it was england's best, and when you are out there you were dominating. we felt we could dominate the ball today. a bit sloppy towards the end of the second half but it was a bit too open but we knew what would work and what would hurt them. the little box ci’oss would hurt them. the little box cross as well, we worked on and training, so to the staff for conveying it. how many goals and would have scored in a world cup. you know what they are going to be staying at home. it is a big game ahead. the semifinal but we are feeling good. feeling confident. today was brilliant, we looked
6:44 pm
composed, we looked in control, so we just had to go again. we are enjoying it. the fan here are enjoying it. the fan here are enjoying it. the fan here are enjoying it and the fans at home they are enjoying it. we just had to keep doing what we're doing. and make our country proud. keep doing what we're doing. and make our country proudlj keep doing what we're doing. and make our country proud. i am sure to see that home will be mayhem. they are loving it. you have all got friends and family enjoying this, but a week tomorrow is the world cup final. football is coming home, right? hopefully fingers crossed. let's get to the score of that 11 england goal. a great achievement for the team, and we owe it to the fa ns for the team, and we owe it to the fans at home. for supporting us and believing in us and as i say it was a good performance. it is always nice to score especially occasions like this. it was dark best performance personally on the pitch, to get the goal this is unbelievable. it was important that we had believed in the game plan and
6:45 pm
kept playing the way we wanted to play and now we know we can play. the team to play against, and conceded a lot of chances and we stuck to what we were doing it and kept moving the ball, and waiting for opportunity patiently. they head back to their training camp right 110w back to their training camp right now outside st petersburg. who will they be facing here at the stadium? they kick off in the next 15 minutes in synergy. russia against croatia. for the right to face england. john bennett sent us this. we will need the help of everyone of those 45,000 fans in the stadium behind me, if they want to progress in the semifinals against all the odds. croatia start is a big favourite. they have that, even if they did look a bit tired in their last 16 game against denmark which they won oi'i game against denmark which they won on penalties. the russia team have become national heroes. before the tournament, nobody expected anything from them. now, is an icon here in
6:46 pm
russia. the manager of the russia team. he says he has ignored all the press reports, all the tv shows, if he wants his team to keep their feet oi'i he wants his team to keep their feet on the ground and play as they did against spain in the last round. they only had 21% possession in a game but still got through on penalties. they may have to play in the same way to get anything out of this croatia game. but the russia fans believe their team can make it to the last four. just one change for russia and croatia. it will be backin for russia and croatia. it will be back in my scalp towards the end of sport state but an interesting day. middle saturday always is at the wimbledon championships. holly hamilton is there. we have seen england shirts as well. we have seen england shirts as well. we do have plenty to celebrate. we
6:47 pm
had an rendition of football is coming home, we have not heard that here before. they are looking for another celebration with kyle edmund. he is taking on the three—time champion over on centre court. spurred on by the home fans winning the first set. we can go live there now. currently still one said and in the first game, kyle edmund leading 40—30. we will keep up on that and come back to it. him and fans certainly one another way to celebrate, but someone another way to celebrate, but someone who will not be anything celebrate,. the french open champion was knocked out in the third round earlier. another shock at this tournament this week. she was beaten by in the third round, chez fought
6:48 pm
back after trailing 5—2, but broke in the night game to stay alive in the decider. another match point on her way to victory. is amazing for me to be there. on the first day i was there but i was a little bit tired and i was trying too much. it is hard to control on the balance but i am happy that i dated for the second set and i'm getting through and to fight down, it was a lot of support from the outside to push me and keep fighting. they do so much. there is actually now only one top ten seed left. no such problems per rafael nadal. it was a very comfortable win
6:49 pm
for the 17th time grandstand champion. he won in straight sets. and i have a little harder than in his previous matches. but still looking very comfortable out there and that when of course means he maintains his number one ranking. i am delighted to say i am joined by andy murray's former coach, thank you forjoining us. so much to get through. let's talk about kyle edmund first. looking very good out there at the minute against novac djokovic. he is against a three-time champion, who has played incredible tennis. he is looking impressive, very unfazed, looking calm in that environment against the. things do not come easily and hopefully he has got this whole vibe of english success , got this whole vibe of english success, so hopefully that will carry him on and as the crowd
6:50 pm
recited, they want more. he is someone recited, they want more. he is someone who does respond to the crowd. he has had to fight a lot of his career. he has been against roger federer who is loved everywhere he goes, so he has had to fight, where exactly novac djokovic is, he has played some great tennis but he needs to be convinced he is back to his best. when you consider he did not take part in that warm—up tournaments coming up to wimbledon, and won all three of his matches in straight sets. who can beat him? there are a few players that could be him. he is tricky, he has beaten novac djokovic before, but that is definitely a player who can be him. but as far as grandstands go, the drawings did work out quite well. he is and his second week, and with the weather we have had, the courts are hard, they are bouncing which suits
6:51 pm
them well so every match he gets more and more of a favourite. very quickly, it is alreadyjust the first saturday, looking ahead to a favourite in the men's, sorry, the final of the men's draw. is it going to be nadal and federer again? he was my favourite, no reason to bet against them, i think djokovic is in the bottom half, so i have him as my favourite behind them so we will see how it goes. all sorts has been happening, it has not been a week to make projections. you are absolutely right. thank you so much forjoining us on right. thank you so much forjoining us on sports day. kyle edmund broke in the third set there so i will let miles go and watch that. it looks like it is going to be a good one. can you imagine england getting through after their match today? imagine if kyle edmund did the same?
6:52 pm
iam not imagine if kyle edmund did the same? i am not sure if we could cope for the excitement. let's start with formula 1. lewis hamilton won the battle for pole for tomorrow's british grand prix, snatching the top spot from his title rival sebastian vettel by a fraction of a second. hamilton will start the race just one point behind vettel in the drivers' championship. azi varni was watching the action at silverstone. there is no escape from the football even at formula 1. but some eyes are on russia. these fans already been treated for to a record performance. lewis hamilton becoming the first driver to claim a sixth pole position at the grand prix. it was one of his hardest fault holes. sebastian was fastest in the first session. the ferrari driver with battling a pain in the net today and may well become one for hamilton tomorrow. he could not match the drivers pace, hamilton just tomorrow. he could not match the drivers pace, hamiltonjust too tomorrow. he could not match the drivers pace, hamilton just too fast to catch. but he did set the time to
6:53 pm
be in the final showdown and it looks to be enough or are rare or area looks to be enough or are rare or are a poll here. but hamilton saved his best for last. snatching top spot on his final lap byjust for hundreds of seconds and you could see just how much it took out of him. i gave it everything i could and it was just such a him. i gave it everything i could and it wasjust such a hard, so close between these car robberies. ——ferraris. do so and you'll regain the championship. the tour de france got under way today from the island of noirmoutier in the west of the country, but le grand depart didn't go well for defending champion, chris froome. the briton is going for a record equalling fifth victory in the tour but ended the first stage almost a minute behind after crashing shortly before the finish line. ben croucher reports. this was meant to be a genteel
6:54 pm
start, traded to the customary coastline, countryside and shadows and the lukewarm reception. he should not have been troubled by the flat first stage but after four hours of calm, ten minutes of crashes. he awarded the first but looked to the left. he soon found himself heading cross—country. seldom the fastest route as he was tipped from the tarmac. rivals had his hopes butchered. ahead of them, the unsentimental sprinters pushed on and in a week of disappointment for columbia, fernando competing in the race for the first time gave them reason to smile. behind grimaces and what might have been, as they trailed home. it is always the case of the tour but this year more than most, it is an uphill task. some sad news from the world of horse racing today — the retired flat trainer — john dunlop has died
6:55 pm
at the age of 78. in a career spanning nearly half a century, dunlop trained more than 3500 winners including — the derby with twice — first with shirley heights and then erhaab. in total, dunlop saddled ten british classic winners. his legacy continues with his sons ed and harry who are also trainers. england's women's cricketers have thrashed new zealand by 142 runs to win their opening one—day international. choosing to bat at headingly, england captain heather knight and amyjones both made half centuries to help them reach 290 for five, their highest one day score against the kiwis, in reply new zealand started well making 70 without loss but four wickets forjust five runs lead to a collapse from which they never recovered, bowled out for 148, england now lead 1—0 lead in the best of three series. the next it is in on tuesday.
6:56 pm
so that's all the rest of the sport, let's go back to ollie for more reaction to england's world cup quarter—final win against sweden. takeit take it away. most of those players we re take it away. most of those players were not even born, stuart pearce and all that, and all that heartache, but gareth southgate young team have done it, beating sweden in. we will leave you with those pictures in as they were joyous and exhausted. it was a drama free victory. 2—0 against the swedes in the and. different for that penalty shot that we had four nights ago in the last 16. but gareth southgate's team are heading back to the capitalfor southgate's team are heading back to the capital for that semifinal. july 11. 80,000, one game from a world cup final. croatia and the hosts russia. it will be them facing. we
