the stadium already closed because of previous abuse by fans, england's black players were subject to monkey chance and nazi salutes —— monkey chants. some are asking why uefa didn't send the players into the dressing room the second time the cha nts were dressing room the second time the chants were heard, as per the second step in their protocol. our sports correspondence joe wilson step in their protocol. our sports correspondencejoe wilson is outside the stadium. one england supporter has just told me he heard monkey noises from some bulgarian fans from the first minute of this game. england have experienced this kind of thing before, so what has changed? clearly now they have the confidence and determination to report racism, and there was a response. the second piece of the protocol should, could, have involved the game being suspended. it could well be argued that england's emphatic victory is the best possible response. gareth southgate, england manager, has admitted that england has its own issues with racism in football to address, but this kind of thing here
1:47 am
cannot stand. and the response from uefa is now of the utmost importance. this evening a few thousand seats closed off. it made no difference. as for the match itself, marcus rasch had opened the scoring with a stunning strike after only seven minutes. barkley scored twice before sterling added two more either side of the break, and england captain kane completed the rout five minutes from time, 6—0 the final score. you have become the latest team to qualify for next year's finals, after beating the holders in kiev. they want to—i. both goals coming in the first half —— won 2—1. cristiano ronaldo‘s penalty was the 700th goal of his career.

1:49 am
for their qualifier with palestine. many arab countries have historically refused to play in the palestinian territories, as it requires obtaining entry permits to israel, a country many do not recognise. the match marks a change in policy for the saudis, who have previously played matches against palestine in a third country. we are pleased to be in palestine for this game. football needs to be like that, and it is of course a historic game, so it will be a very tough game, first of all because palestine beat uzbekistan in this group already, so the level of this tea m group already, so the level of this team is very good. so we know
1:50 am
tomorrow it won't be easy. it will bea tomorrow it won't be easy. it will be a tough game, but we will be ready for this very important result. vlatko andonovski is set to be the new us women's football coach. he is currently in charge of seattle side reign fc, which includes one of the us stars, megan rapinoe. a former player in his native macedonia, he won the championship twice with his previous side, fc kansas city. jill ellis, who won two back—to—back world cups with the national team, stood down last week. we have arrived at the knockout stage of the rugby world cup injapan, and after the host nation was hit by a devastating typhoon over the weekend, there was emotional scenes as japan secured their spot in the last eight for the first time. patrick gearey looks ahead to the quarter—finals for us. if sport is escapism, then rarely
1:51 am
can it have been more completely, thrillingly so. japanese inhibition left at home. on the streets they we re left at home. on the streets they were a people transformed. the joy of beating scotland to reach a first world cup quarterfinal felt all the more keenly because of the sorrow of the previous day, when a0 people we re the previous day, when a0 people were killed by typhoon hagibis. south africa await, but as hope now turned to expectation injapan, and has that changed the dynamic?” don't think there is any question. we have got through the quarterfinals and we have got nothing to lose now. nobody probably expects us to win again, i think, in town, but we believe. and we're going to go out there and we're going to go out there and we're going to go out there and we're going to play as well as we can and try to beat south africa. it is a mark of how japan have disrupted the old order that even new zealand say they are pleased to have avoided them. their next opponents are ireland, who the all blacks have lost two twice in the last three meetings. not that the irish are talking up chances. they are not
1:52 am
back—to—back world cup winners for no reason. they are that because of the personnel they have, because of the personnel they have, because of the culture they have, and the performances they managed to put together on a very regular basis. so for us it would be, to a degree, a mountain to climb. if ireland face reggie pot —— rugby's version of mount fuji, wales face a lower road. they can't play the all blacks until the final and next they play a far back france team that has hardly impressed so far, all a reward from winning their group. that was massive for us. that was honestly a big goal coming into the competition. the last time we won our pool games was back in 1987, so it isa our pool games was back in 1987, so it is a fantastic achievement for this group. and it gives us a lot of confidence going into this quarterfinal. england have already travelled to stop further than the last world cup, but now it is all change. they have australia in the last eight, a fixture where the
1:53 am
level starts at medium. the cancellation of the last game means eddiejones's cancellation of the last game means eddie jones's team cancellation of the last game means eddiejones's team have had better preparation than his homeland, and australia's head coach is in exactly the shy type stop yes, well, i saw that he was saying that that would be an advantage, and at the typhoon gods were smiling on him. so i suppose they had better win. they have had the best preparation, according to the coach, so they had better get out there and win, if thatis better get out there and win, if that is the best possible preparation. we will see how we go. come the weekend, the soundbites will be background noise. eight teams have worked for four years to win the next three matches. in the land of the rising sun, high noon is near. he has been asked the question for months, and he has finally answered it. roger federer has announced that he will compete at next year's tokyo olympics, when he will be 39. federer has won all four of the grand slams as well as the atp tour finals six times, but an olympic singles gold has eluded him. he missed the rio games
