6:35 pm
how will he be thinking ahead of this match? i think is going to be very difficult for him, because players who played in the champions league, quite a few, we know there is a few niggling injuries. it will be interesting to see the teams and the subs that he puts out. i think they timed and rest a little of the champions league players. realistically, he will be looking at the players on the fringe who haven't made the squad as such. it will be interesting. sometimes you look at these games, at first when you see it all arrange, you think there's a good test, a good side. but probably at the team tonight, hardly any of them will start at the euros. in hardly any of them will start at the euros. , ., ., ., , euros. in terms of how the lads will be feeling. — euros. in terms of how the lads will be feeling. you _ euros. in terms of how the lads will be feeling, you know _ euros. in terms of how the lads will be feeling, you know how— euros. in terms of how the lads will be feeling, you know how it - euros. in terms of how the lads will be feeling, you know how it is - euros. in terms of how the lads will| be feeling, you know how it is going into a big tournament, how will beating be feeling ahead of this? will they be playing for places, or about they be relax knowing that

6:37 pm
lingard, he went to west ham, he should have knocked on at the door at man united and asked to be moved on, but he waited and waited. he did a greatjob for west ham united, but it was not enough and probably gareth�*s mind. people like ward prowse will want to show that he should not have been left out. i thought he should have put him in the squad, just because when you go to a later stages of the tournament, it could be decided on a set piece, and at this guy can deliver corners and at this guy can deliver corners and free kicks, he has a wicked delivery on him, he has got some great goals from free kicks. that could decide a game in a big match. scotla nd ta ke scotland take on the net abounds in portugal a little later on. it's a

6:39 pm
getting our best 11 on that pitch. you can listen to england v austria from 8pm on bbc radio 5 live. scotland and wales fans can also listen to their respective games on bbc radio wales and scotland, as well as follow live text commentary on the bbc sport website. netherlands—scotland kicks off at 7:45pm, and france—wales kicks off at 8:05pm. let's stay with the football, and lots of clubs are on the lookout for new managers still. could antonio conte be back in london? the italian, who left inter three weeks ago after securing the italian title, is said to be in talks at tottenham. spurs have been searching for a new permanent manager since sacking jose mourinho in april. conte won the premier league for chelsea, in 2017, beforejoining inter. carlo ancelotti has been meeting fans and the media at real madrid. the italian left everton after 18 months in charge for his second stint at real — he previously managed them for two years between 2013 and 2015. ancelotti replaces zinedine zidane, on a three—year deal. bruno lage is a step closer to becoming the new wolves boss. he's been cleared by
6:40 pm
the premier league and the fa, after his managerial record didn't initially pass post—brexit rules. lage would replace nuno espirito santo, who left the club at the end of the season. a nineteen—year—old man in singapore has pleaded guilty — to sending death threats to the premier league footballer neal maupay on social media. derek ng is the first person outside the uk to be charged and convicted of such an offence. nick marsh reports from singapore. the premier league said it hoped today's ruling would serve as a powerful deterrent to would—be abusers no matter where they are in the world. they thanked the singaporean authorities, as did neal maupay, and brighton and hove albion in securing this landmark conviction. 7000 miles away, and the first of its kind outside of the uk. now, derek mg, 19 years old, pleaded guilty as expected today in court to sending these explicit death threats to neal maupay. he will be sentenced next month,
6:41 pm
and he can expect to receive a hefty fine of up to £10,000. he may also receive a jail term of up to two years. now, we all know how much abuse is levelled at players on a daily basis from within the uk. but given football's global appeal, it is also clear that an awful lot comes from outside the domestic borders too. this is where things get tricky. because the footballing authorities then need to enlist the help of foreign law enforcement agencies. they need police forces around the world to start investing their time, their effort and their resources into securing convictions like this. now, today, they will argue that what has happened in singapore can serve as a bit of a watershed moment. they think it will be a sort of template in ensuring that online abuse, no matter where it happens in the world, can be tackled and people can be brought to justice. nick marsh, bbc news, singapore.
