north to south eight to 12 degrees. towards the end of the week it will turn in little reminder but there was still be some wet and windy weather at times. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm holly hammonton. the cristiano ronaldo era at manchester united is over. he's set to leave the club by mututal agreement with immediate effect.

now if you'd asked anyone to name who the favourites are to win the world cup in qatar — argentina would feature heavily.. but in one of the biggest upsets in the tournaments history, lionel messi's side was beaten in their opening game by a team 48 places behind them in the fifa world rankings. saudia arabia came from behind to snap argentina's 36—match winning streak. . putting themselves to the top of group c. alex capstick was there. this is one of the greatest world cup shocks in history. argentina one of the favourites of this tournament on the back about 36 run match win. loss to saudi arabia the second lowest mac match in this country. i messy because he gave them a penalty in the first. in the second half to skilful goals in the second half gave saudi arabia to lead and a routine that lead despite argentina

thrown everything at them. the saudis baffled and scrapped and they held on at the final whistle. the hordes in green absolutely delirious. forthose hordes in green absolutely delirious. for those fans in the white and blue of argentina terrible disappointment. chanting or well the television cameras followed the players into the dressing rooms into the dressing rooms at the lusail stadium.| think it's fair to say they're happy with that result.. the players dancing on the tables and throwing water everywhere... and who could blame them.. a stunning victory that many care describing as the greatest win by an asian team at the world cup. the resume holds the stars in the sky in the same line for us. but argentina _ sky in the same line for us. but argentina is — sky in the same line for us. but argentina is still _ sky in the same line for us. elf argentina is still a and sick team. they came here without losing any

games and 36 games. there are where they are. they other champion. they have an amazing player. but this is football was stuck. sometimes something completely crazy can happen. the saudi fans in qatar were enjoying the moment.. as they recalled memories of the 1994 usa world cup when the falcons reached the last 16 for the only time in their history. i was telling my friends that i wish argentina will win three — one. or 2-0. but argentina will win three — one. or 2—0. but his argentina will win three — one. or 2-0. but his 2-1 argentina will win three — one. or 2—0. but his 2—1 for solidarity of. it's an amazing match. they were impressive — it's an amazing match. they were impressive. the goalkeeper, legendary. impressive. the goalkeeper, legendary-— impressive. the goalkeeper, le . enda . , . ~ . legendary. they will take final. amazinu , legendary. they will take final. amazing, unacceptable - legendary. they will take final. l

football. credit to saudi arabia. they surprise the players. there was a clear lack of morale. the crumbling of morale of the players on the pitch and that was reflected by the washing public. i have to say, immediately after the game the meaty mood of the commentators put pitch side and the people waiting in the mix zone where the play is never turned up was one of sadness rather than recrimination. there was so much riding on this. so much a expectation. and credit to saudi arabia. they stunned for some and they made the most of the chances. there's a feeling that perhaps one of the three to disallowed goals was a little bit unfair. but there is no everyone against us feeling. it's almost like the the pain is to roll

the physical condition of them. they looked tired and they shouldn't be that tired. at the very first world cup game. robert lewandowski's wait for a world cup goal goes on after he missed a penalty during poland's goalless draw with mexico in group c. having won the second half penalty himself, the barcelona striker stepped up only to see his effort superbly saved by mexico's guillermo ochoa — the 37—year—old goalkeeper who's playing in his fifth world cup. it was the only real highlight of a poor game at stadium 974. denmark and tunisia played out the tournament's first 0—0 draw in the opening match in group d. christian eriksen couldn't inspire his danish side to the three points in his return to tournament football following the cardiac arrest he suffered on the pitch at euro 2020. joe lynskey reports.

perhaps more than any man at this world cup to be here mean so much for christian erickson. 18 months ago with was revived on the pitch. now back the greatest stage this was tunisia is welcome. the african side having been passed the group stage. this was how they set the change that at their fifth attempt. that determination brought them the first house best chance. only the reach of casperson michael kept tunisia out. and when erickson did get through the tacos he met a goalkeeper inspired. from the resulting corner date mr moran. andress cornelius almost on the goal line somehow hit the post. this was not the floyd's denmark that reached a euro semifinals. wendy thought look was coming. the referees penalty check

said no penalty. that was the last act in the workups first 0—0 draw. for denmark next up the play friends. joe linsky bbc news. well there's one more game to come this evening.. and the first time we see the defending champions france in action as they take on australia.. former socceroos keeper mark schwarzer is at the game for the bbc. he's with kelly somers. i sure they get their campaign under way against france. for march it couldn't be. way against france. for march it couldn't be— way against france. for march it couldn't be. ~ ., . . , . . couldn't be. world champions france. there players — couldn't be. world champions france. there players are _ couldn't be. world champions france. there players are quality _ couldn't be. world champions france. there players are quality players. - there players are quality players. but it's still unbelievably cited. unsure they would find it very difficult against his friend side of what i'm hoping is that france on suresh underestimates them. if

issued with a yellow card. well nesta mcgregor is in doha. players and managers speaking out on this today. belgium's jan vertonghen said players were "being controlled" and were afraid to speak about anything while in qatar this isn't going away is it nesta? no, clearly. just to reiterate. the seven countries, including england and wales netherlands and belgium. wanted to support the lgbt community. homosexuality is illegal in qatar and some friends said they don't feel safe travelling to the country. before i said it's the inclusive organisation and it supports the lgbt community but what you have is players like the persian captain saying no they want to speak

out and they should be free to speak out. but how can they be when they say they could be in trouble with either fifa or the qatari government. so the players seem to be stuck in the middle. i think what's in of a lot of these players is that qatar was a lot awarded the world cup back in 2010 so there has been 12 years to have these conversations. another person astounded by this is an anti—discrimination campaigner who has been doing work in qatar was stopped to build some tolerance between cut saris and the lgbt community. he says, he's astonished that three or four days into the tournament it still dominate the headlines. . ,. tournament it still dominate the headlines. . ,, , tournament it still dominate the headlines. . ,, headlines. the armband issue is one that has suddenly _ headlines. the armband issue is one that has suddenly come _ headlines. the armband issue is one that has suddenly come front - headlines. the armband issue is one that has suddenly come front and i that has suddenly come front and centre _ that has suddenly come front and centre in— that has suddenly come front and centre in a — that has suddenly come front and centre in a remarkable 2448 hrs it must _ centre in a remarkable 2448 hrs it must he _ centre in a remarkable 2448 hrs it must be said. i've never seen anything _ must be said. i've never seen anything like it before the opening

ou. away from the world cup, england star beth mead is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering an anterior cruiciate ligament injury during arsenal's wsl defaet to manchester united at the weekend. the knee injury puts her particapation in next year's women's world cup in some doubt. mead was the top scorer on the way to england winning the euros this summer. a statement from arsenal said mead will see a surgeon in the coming days — where timescales will be established. it's been another day to forget for england in the cricket — they lost to australia this morning by 221 runs. their heaviest one—day runs defeat. which completes the series whitewash. australia posted 355—5 in a rain interrupted first innings — which gave england a revised target. openers travis head and david warner did most of the damage, both with centuries — head making a huge 152. england struggled in their reply — in conditions to suit the bowlers —

falling from 57—1 to 142 all out. england — t20 champions — losing the series 3—0. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the sports news today... former england and sussex all—rounder luke wright has been appointed as england men's selector. wright will be responsible for squad and team selections from the senior teams, lions and young lions. next season's formula one grand prix in china has been cancelled because of the country's covid policies. f1 hasn't been to china since 2019, but was due to return for the fourth race in april 2023. china's zero—covid policy has led f1 to conclude the race can't go ahead.

birmingham city council has signed a deal with uk athletics to develop an elite performance athletics facility on the alexander stadium campus. the renovated stadium was for the commonwealth games earlier this year. the city has also been chosen to host the european athletics championships in 2026. bbc arabic�*s marwa helmy was at the game. marwa, the saudi govenrment has since announced that tomrrow will be a national holiday to allow for celebrations. i think that tells us what this victory means to the country? actually it was a shock in a good way for the saudi fans. even in the stadium or here we have a saudi

house for all the fans. they are celebrating because a huge thing for them to win again said argentina. none of them, i talked to a lot of them, and none of them were expecting them to wind. versus argentina. it is the first time that saudi arabia has won the first match in the workup. it's a lot of things and they are celebrating. they have even hope to reach the semifinal footin even hope to reach the semifinal foot in this world cup. they have a lot of friends here. i know that the funds notjust support lot of friends here. i know that the funds not just support their team. they are supporting all the art fans in this tournament. friends of argentina are so loud at the beginning of the game even before the game starts. they are convinced that they can, or that saudi arabia can't beat argentina. after the two goals of saudi arabia there was

silence from the argentinian friends. from saudi arabia there was a huge celebration from all over the world. and every arab country. and here in qatar they are celebrating this huge result. as argentina was one of the biggest teams in the world cup. one of the biggest teams in the world cup-— one of the biggest teams in the world cup. one of the biggest teams in the world cu. ., . ~ one of the biggest teams in the worldcu. . world cup. more to come thank you so much. world cup. more to come thank you so much- more — world cup. more to come thank you so much- more to — world cup. more to come thank you so much. more to theirs _ world cup. more to come thank you so much. more to theirs like _ world cup. more to come thank you so much. more to theirs like tom - world cup. more to come thank you so much. more to theirs like tom and - much. more to theirs like tom and bbc to stop but nope bbc news it's time for the weather. some parts of the uk had write a few shirts today. for others it is mainly dry. some clouds showing up on this weather watcher picture from aberdeen with blue skies overhead. with the satellite picture the world of cloud in the atlantic is our next area of low pressure throwing bands of rain in our direction.
