the women 5 world cup for the first time. alistair lament has more. scotla nd scotland know except that what they had to do tonight. it's strip for scenario, just not one that is necessarily simple to negotiate. switzerland have won all six of their qualifiers so far, including a deserved victory over scotland earlier in the campaign. but scotla nd earlier in the campaign. but scotland limited the damage at that stage to a one goal defeat, and that's where they have a chance of rolling the swiss at the top the group in tonight's match. rolling the swiss at the top the group in tonight's matchlj rolling the swiss at the top the group in tonight's match. i cannot predict what's going to happen sites, no—one can. but the preparations have been brilliant and we need to show that we're confident and capable of beating a team that is highly ranked. just one match remaining at a two night's qualifier, if scotland don't get the

two—goal victory they require, the best case scenario for them will be a play—off. to that end, even a draw tonight would be of help, but the scots players aren't contemplating that. they only have victory on their minds. they're hoping for a record crowd tonight as they aim to make history. well, tomorrow night there's a winner—ta kes—all tie between england and wales at newport. the welsh will qualify for a world cup for the first time in 60 years if they win. the managers of both squads will of course have a crucial role to play, including england boss phil neville, who is keeping in touch with players the millennial way. he's cosplay challenging his players on the training field. i read the other day he has hardly whatsapp groups, so other day he has hardly whatsapp groups, so he speaks to every single player every day. he wants to find out about them personally and what they do outside of football. i think that's a nice man management style. it's a winner takes all game, which

is important. wales know if they win be game, they've qualified for the world cup, which would make history. they have a real believe, wales, they can do that. for england, they know it's in their hands, so they win, it comes out of last game against kazakhstan, which you would expect england to win. well so progressed so much over the last few yea rs, progressed so much over the last few years, the manager has created a real tea m years, the manager has created a real team spirit, a real togetherness that they fight for every single game. let's have a look at some more of today's headlines. an undercover newspaper investigation that led to the resignation of sam allardyce as the england manager has been justified as being in the public interest. the former west ham, blackburn and everton manager lodged a complaint with the independent press standards organisation. the daily telegraph said allardyce had told reporters posing as businessmen how to get around player transfer rules. germany's head coachjoachim low has rejected mesut ozil's accusations of racism

within the german fa. it's the first time low had addressed the issue since the arsenal midfielder retired from international football last month, citing the racist abuse he'd received. however, low‘s accused him of exaggerating those claims and admits the pair are yet to discuss it. and the hearts boss craig levein says he's feeling great after being admitted to hospital on monday. he is recovering at home and aims to be back in the dugout for the visit of motherwell on the 15th of september. there's just over a year to go until the rugby world cup injapan, but england boss eddiejones is struggling to keep his management team together. he'd already lost defence coach paul gustard and this week lost the services of skills coach rory teague and dean benton, who's head of sport science. so three key positions for eddiejones to fill pretty urgently. our rugby union reporter chris jones has more. how worried should england fans be

right now about this turnover of staff? not a great situation. england fans should feel uneasy that 12 months until the enormous, global showpiece that is the world cup is upon us, england have sizeable holes to fill. there is no doubt that working under eddie jones to fill. there is no doubt that working under eddiejones is tough and some people have found it an uncomfortable working situation. the rfu do insist that dean benton hasn't fallen out with eddie jones at all, but you're right to list alongside rory teague and paul lads. england do have some quite big holes to fill in that team, because there isa to fill in that team, because there is a testing autumn coming up and then 6 nations and the world cup. they do need to be filled soon, but realistically how quickly can the

fill those positions? the two england fans will be looking at is the attack side of things that scott mansell filled on the tour of south africa. ickes makes scots will be brought back in at least for the training camp. he lives in australia, so england need to make sure he can come up australia, so england need to make sure he can come up for the autumn series. as for defence, paul gustard ka nte series. as for defence, paul gustard kante big role, the rfu haven't commented on reports that eddie jones wants to bring back his former charge from islands, but the rfu are in negotiations with the board in pretoria to release their first choice. but positive news that for england fans, all being well, they will have scott weiss mansell on attack and john mitchell marshalling the defence. thank you.

many have tried and failed — often in spectacularfashion — to achieve tony hawk's notorious 360—degree loop. the gravity—defying stunt was first pulled off by hawk 20 years ago. only a handful of skaters have succesfully managed it since, and not single woman. until now. this is lizzie armanto. after suffering one of what was likely to be many, many bruising falls at a skating event california, the american wasn't deterred. after all, practice makes perfect. taking another run at the vertical loop, she nails it. it means she's the first female skater to complete the loop. that is unbelievable, 20 years since

that was first achieved by tony hawk. she posted the video on instagram, stating, "put my mortality to the side the other day." i have to agree with her, i think that maybe the first and last time she gives that a go, for her own safety, anyway. that's all from sportsday. we'll have the bill champions league draw on the bbc sport website, if you want a look at that whether your teams manchester city, united, totte n ha m teams manchester city, united, tottenham or liverpool. you can have a look at who they will be facing over the next few months. we'll have more throughout the evening. 0ver
