of england's world cup? what, if anything, has been achieved? could this be a turning point for the english game, are we on the cusp of something great? welcome to sportsday, with me, chris mitchell. the tournament's over. there's time to think. leon 0sman, former england and everton player, and football author simon hartjoin me to discuss what the legacy of the 2018 world cup could be for all parts of the english game. you might think that the world cup will have little or no impact on the way the game is played here. it's over. but we've been here before. look at what happened the last time england made the semi—finals of a world cup. it was 1990. the nation tuned in.

gripped by great drama. they heard opera. they saw tears. they felt the emotion. this changed football. music: nessun dorma by pavarotti yuri football author, that was 1990.

it changed football. can the same be said about what we have just witnessed. we are hearing a lot of talk about how this world cup has reconnected the england national tea m reconnected the england national team with english football supporters. it was an extremely different climate back then, english football had had something of an epidemic with the hooligan problems of the 1980s. 0ur clubs were banned from europe for five years. you can see the pictures now. there was trouble. rioting. this five-year ban took place, the story going in to

the world cup was meant to be about hooligans. probably the same way that the story was meant to be about russian hooligans in this world cup. it reconnected football with the public. will 2018 do the same thing? it can't do, because the english premier league is already the most watched in the world. back then, we we re watched in the world. back then, we were sort of textiles and this was oui’ were sort of textiles and this was our way back in. 1990 brought about a seismic change, there was lots of things going on in the 905. but you don't think that 20 team will have the same kind of effect. what about the same kind of effect. what about the players in the game, i don't ju5t the players in the game, i don't just mean the players on the pitch, but the administrators who run the team. you played a lot of games for everton. will they be buoyed by what they have seen in russia?” everton. will they be buoyed by what they have seen in russia? i think they have seen in russia? i think they will. absolutely. speaking as a

fan, as well. i think we have all been delighted with the way it has gone. we have all suddenly become really proud to be english, again. my first memories of watching england was that david platt goal that we have just seen their against belgium. ira member how excited we got. it was very exciting, what came next was disappointing. we struggled in 1992. didn't qualify in 1994. there is talk, having researched as regards to watching england being on the telly. the next games are vital to keep that momentum going. pretournament, we were pressed hard

for targets. we didn't set any other than that we wanted to inspire our supporters. i think with some of the fantastic work that gareth and the players have done, some of our performances, we haven't been home for five weeks, so i don't know, but the comments that we have heard have been wonderful. we have inspired the nation to fall in love with the national football team again. for me, that is a really interesting point there. you talk about remembering watching it when you are nine years old and being excited. he wa nts nine years old and being excited. he wants people to fall in love with the england team again. this is more ofa pr the england team again. this is more of a pr exercise, then a football team? maybe. it does look that way. but football is all about following your team, doing it but football is all about following yourteam, doing it with but football is all about following your team, doing it with pride at being really excited to turn up and put your team play. i do feel that probably over the past four years, also, i think english fans have

taken to also, i think english fans have ta ken to following also, i think english fans have taken to following club teams rather than the national side. that has beena than the national side. that has been a bit of a shame. thanks to the england team, gareth southgate at the moment, expectations were really low going into the tournament. now we have exited this tournament, we wa nt we have exited this tournament, we want to be following the english team with a lot more attention over this next two to four seasons. the focu5 this next two to four seasons. the focus will be on england, for sure. we will touch on the ural5 in a moment. you li5ten we will touch on the ural5 in a moment. you listen to us there, do you think it has become too much of a focus for them, how they are perceived. you could argue that england didn't really do that well at this world cup. if you look at the hard facts. he is saying that they have had a great time, because people looking and, not football fan5, perhap5, and think it is wonderful. whenever england do well there will be a surge of excitement. ifi there will be a surge of excitement. if i can broaden it out a little

bit, top, elite club football now i5, bit, top, elite club football now is, i wouldn't say always detectable, but we look at the super clu b5 detectable, but we look at the super clubs with all of these wealth. to 5ee clubs with all of these wealth. to see a world cup where some of the giants got their noses bloodied, it was probably exciting to see for the public. you see an england team largely come price of younger player5 largely come price of younger players who seem excited to be there. there were different factors that make this an exciting tournament to watch. we talk about the football association, we can all agree that it has been successful for them. southgate i5 agree that it has been successful for them. southgate is soft, approachable, a modern face for football. you judged on the premier league, leon, what is the premier league's legacy. it is a nuisance that england have done well?|j that england have done well?” wouldn't say it is a nuisance. i

think the premier league would always like england to be performing well. it raises the profile of both. the national side and of the premier league. but, the premier league aren't out to make england great. they are about making the premier league the greatest. i do feel that having a good england side, behaving as emphatically as we did as a nation, producing lots of good moments on the field does benefit everybody. ayes it is certain that england have the ingredients on the pitch to perhaps produce a winning team.” think you have, in england, a whole bunch of very talented players coming through. the challenge ahead is for gareth and his staff, to

develop those players. the potential is there. they have showcased that they have the ability to go even higher. it is important that you have the patience that comes with it. where will be the players in 2—4 years from now. they need guidance, they need to go through, also, the bad moments. you just hope that they keep that simplicity, they keep that kind of spirit. when you don't win at the end of the day in a two moment, which happened now, it makes you even hungrier. all of the ingredients, what is your reaction to the team was back performance?” thought it was impressive. expectations were low. to have said that we would get to a semifinal,

everybody would have bitten your hand off. yes, if you take it back a step, ithink hand off. yes, if you take it back a step, i think we won three, drew one and lost three so if you take that far back, you have to re—evaluate and gareth southgate will do that moving forward. this team showed potential, it should be brave at times. i think they have learned an awful lot mentally with regards to how good they are compared to the re st of how good they are compared to the rest of the world and that will put them in good stead moving forward. let's have a look at the figures. look at these viewing figures. 44 million people watch the world cup on the bbc. some 26 million watched it in1990. on the bbc. some 26 million watched it in 1990. you hear about people watching things on their tablets, on their phones, not really being engaged. you could picture the

scene, people were watching it with theirfamilie5 in scene, people were watching it with their families in lounge5. scene, people were watching it with theirfamilie5 in lounge5. the theirfamilies in lounges. the terrestrial tv suddenly important again. that is a change, isn't it? it is. if we go back to 1990, just have a life that was a treat. 0ne statistic that really jumped have a life that was a treat. 0ne statistic that reallyjumped out have a life that was a treat. 0ne statistic that really jumped out at me was that leading up to the 90 world cup we had just 12 games to watch. now we have wall to wall football on tv. it is lovely that we have that communal moment, which is almost lost now. people can watch football whenever they want. it world cup as that power to bring people together. legacy is, just to conclude, we have a team that could do great things in 2020? yes. terrestrial tv is not dead people love watching football on the television still at the football association, a gold starfor them, because it is looking good for right

110w. because it is looking good for right now. yes, i think that is is a success. now. yes, i think that is is a success. i think it has been a success. success. i think it has been a success. that even joining us. the last 24—hours have produced some incredible scenes underlining the power of football to unite and for sure they were waking up in paris this morning tired and bleary—eyed. but they're partying again now. let's look at the seams in paris. the team have arrived back and they have been wandering around. driven around in that open topped bus. some of these people including the players will have not had any sleep. for a long time. these are the scenes in zagreb, at the moment.

that was the best that they had ever done. some of their players are over the age of 30 now. this was surely the age of 30 now. this was surely the last chance for them. cristiano ronaldo has left a legacy at real madrid and he'll hope to leave one in italy, too. he's had his medical in turin and juventus have been to showing off their new signing. what did he have to say to his adoring fans? you can probably see journalists just wrapping things up here. 200 journalists turned up to welcome ronaldo. there are fans outside waiting to get a glimpse of their talisman. even ronaldo's mum turned up. he was here for about 20

minutes answering questions and a host of different languages. he was asked, having had such a successful time at real madrid, what is it like starting again at juventus? time at real madrid, what is it like starting again at juventus? for me, it is another challenge. it will be tough, i know that. but i will be ready. juventus tough, i know that. but i will be ready. juve ntus is tough, i know that. but i will be ready. juventus is ready. as i said before, it is not important. i feel good. i feel motivated. exciting. before, it is not important. i feel good. ifeel motivated. exciting. i will try to do my best. like always. lam will try to do my best. like always. i am looking forward to starting the league well and trying to win every title. we heard him talking about age there, some people have questioned

there, some people have questioned the event is paying £100 million for him. he will be 34. already, juventus have sold over half a million rinaldo mac shirts. —— over half a million ronaldo shirts. he is already doing the business off the pitch, the question is, can he do it on the pitch. juventus haven't won the champions league now in 23 yea rs. the world heavyweight champion anthonyjoshua has announced his next bout. he will fight russia's alexander povetkin on september 22nd at wembley stadium. england openerjason roy has been given little chance of being fit

for the deciding one—day international against india at headingley on tuesday. the surrey batsman has been in good form, but suffered a finger injury 0pposite, it wasn't good enough, the first game, but we knew what we needed to do better. we knew what to do for the next game, and we went out and do for the next game, and we went outand did do for the next game, and we went out and did it. britain's former world champion lizzie deignan is the big signing for a new women's world tour team — trek factory racing. she's not racing at present because she's pregnant, but the briton will leave her current squad at the end of the season and says her new team don't see her as a risk — they see her as an investment, and a valued athlete. the football world cup may be over, but preparations are just begining for the rugby league world cup, which takes place across engand in 2021. kids were outside the salford studios here enjoying themselves. more than £10 million of government funding is to be invested in local club and community rugby league

he's now inside the world's top 10. expectations are wrapped, but i don't feel any different about being up don't feel any different about being up there in the world rankings. it is nice to have that expectation. hopefully more to come. a5 is nice to have that expectation. hopefully more to come. as long as we keep improving, that is all that matters. generally, it doesn't matters. generally, it doesn't matter where you are in the world. have england left us anything from the 2018 world cup? hopes, fears. that's all from sportsday.
