northern ireland, developing through northern ireland, south—west england, wales, north—west england and scotland through the morning. by the afternoon, it will still be dry across north—east england, east anglia and south—east england. here, we see sunshine through the morning. a windy day. we are likely to see gales along western coasts, irish sea coast, western isles, perhaps reaching 45 or 50 mph. the wind is coming from a southerly direction, so temperatures typically between 11 and 13 celsius, a few places where it could get up to 1a celsius. the frontal system still lingering as we head through sunday night. all of us will see heavy rain associated with that. gradually starting to clear away. it will start to linger in parts of east anglia in south—east england through sunday morning. cloudier and a little bit damp. behind it, some sunshine. further showers piling into the north and west as the day wears on. the wind is not quite as strong, still noticeable for western coasts, temperatures in the range of 11 or 13 celsius. after all the rain we have had recently, things will start to calm down a little bit next week.
6:31 pm
for many it is looking drier, quieter, not lots of sunshine, but still mild. now time for the news where you are. hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm ali foster. world cup woes for wales — stunned by iran, they now have to beat england next week. england can reach the knockout stage with a win tonight, team—news for the match against the usa coming up. kicked out of their own party — qatar can't reach the last 16 after another defeat. but netherlands blow their chance to qualify with a game to spare, ecuador with the draw,
6:32 pm
group a will go down to the wire. good evening. will come along, i'm olly foster. we're now in the second wave of group games at the world cup, so there's an extra layer of jeopardy for those teams that have started slowly in qatar. wales were definitely in that category, the hard—fought draw against the usa was something to build on — instead it all came tumbling down against iran today, losing 2—0, both goals coming in injury time, and they are now really up against it if they're to get out of their group. hywel griffith is live in doha for us, hywell, we'll get to the permutations
6:33 pm
in a moment, iran were worth the win, but wales just looked so flat. where did that come from? rob page said the performance was unaccepatble. absolutely, it's notjust the result but the way wales really fell so flat here in doha. they had their early chance but after that it was pretty much all iran. the ball hit the post from offside, but the decisive moment of the game when wales didn't look like scoring, wayne hennessey running off his line and taking out the iranian player, eventually after a long decision by the referee, he got a red car. that drained wales of all self belief after being knocked down to ten men. not once but twice, leaving wales 2-0 not once but twice, leaving wales 2—0 down after a 99 minute match,
6:34 pm
and the players at the end of it looked bereft. ithink and the players at the end of it looked bereft. i think they knew that simply wasn't acceptable as a performance, particularly after waiting so long for their first win, many players the micro fans thought they would see history made but it didn't happen. we heard earlierfrom rob page and captain gareth bale, clearly unhappy with the performance. that was a tough watch. when you have _ that was a tough watch. when you have so _ that was a tough watch. when you have so many players off, it's a bad day, _ have so many players off, it's a bad day, and _ have so many players off, it's a bad day, and there'll only be one outcome _ day, and there'll only be one outcome. we knew they would be a threat, _ outcome. we knew they would be a threat, we — outcome. we knew they would be a threat, we knew that, we saw the front_ threat, we knew that, we saw the front three — threat, we knew that, we saw the front three against england, they scored _ front three against england, they scored a — front three against england, they scored a couple of goals, so we knew they would _ scored a couple of goals, so we knew they would be a good outfit. really, really _ they would be a good outfit. really, really disappointed. this is the extremes _ really disappointed. this is the extremes of management of football. you know. _ extremes of management of football. you know, you get the highs when you -et you know, you get the highs when you get the _ you know, you get the highs when you get the winds, and the great feelings— than the opposite feeling, which _ feelings— than the opposite feeling, which is _ feelings— than the opposite feeling, which is what we are feeling right

now _ it hurts now, but it's football. we have to lose with grace, we can't be horrible and make excuses. - it happens in football, - we have to take it on the chin, l learn from it and, like i said, . we have to recover and go again. we're not here to make up| the numbers, obviously it's a bitterly disappointing result tonight — but we have to recover and go again, that's what we're all about. - i was listening to commentary and some of the pundits were pretty scathing about gareth bale's performance there— but they're clinging to this hope, they have to go and play against england and win, and they keep everything crossed as well. . , ,., , and they keep everything crossed as well. , , and they keep everything crossed as well. , ., �* ., well. absolutely, you don't need a calculator for _ well. absolutely, you don't need a calculator for this _ well. absolutely, you don't need a calculator for this one _ well. absolutely, you don't need a calculator for this one for - well. absolutely, you don't need a calculator for this one for wales. | calculator for this one for wales. they simply have to beat england, and just hope of results go their way. but i hope they pull themselves up way. but i hope they pull themselves up after such a deflating loss. gareth bale was pretty honest at the end, no one thought that performance
6:36 pm
was acceptable. the ball didn't really come to gareth bale and ramsey, and many players have shown guiding lights in previous performances. so rob page will have to find a way to motivate those players for one next push next tuesday, but it does look very tough. and for all those fans who've waited 64 years for this moment, it does feel like such a disappointment right now. does feel like such a disappointment riaht now. . , , does feel like such a disappointment riaht now. ., , , ., does feel like such a disappointment riaht now. . , , ., ., right now. certainly, if they do go out, right now. certainly, if they do go out. they'll _ right now. certainly, if they do go out, they'll want _ right now. certainly, if they do go out, they'll want to _ right now. certainly, if they do go out, they'll want to go _ right now. certainly, if they do go out, they'll want to go out - right now. certainly, if they do go out, they'll want to go out on - right now. certainly, if they do go out, they'll want to go out on a i out, they'll want to go out on a high of some description. many thanks indeed, live from doha for us. let's cross live now to the al bayt stadium, for england against the usa. alex howell is there for us. we spoke yesterday about whether gareth southgate would make many changes to the side that thumped iran at the beginning of the week. what's he done? he hasn't made any changes, and he's
6:37 pm
stuck with the same 11 that got the comfortable win in the opening group b match. the two big he had to make as to whether harry kane would come through after he had the scan on his right foot, or right ankle on the injury picked up in the opening game. the second was harry maguire, the defender came off with an illness but has recovered and come through testing, and makes his 50th appearance for his country tonight. but you can understand why gareth southgate has stuck with the same 11 that one so well in the first match. they scored six against iran, bellowing them in there again who got the parties guarded at the beginning of the week. they've got a really strong record against the usa, england, but only in friendly�*s. i know we are stretching back 70 odd years, but every time they met at the world cup, the usa have been a bogey team for them. that's right, they have been, and this usa site are what some people

6:40 pm
the same 11. why would you change it? absolutely brilliant in that first game against iran, i don't think you could've gone any betterfor iran, i don't think you could've gone any better for him. there's no doubt the back of the game where we understand that as players, it's difficult when you're 5—1 up to maintain intensity. but he was right to highlight the defence because games like this against the usa will continue to test him, and they'll only get harder.— continue to test him, and they'll only get harder. they will have to be wary of _ only get harder. they will have to be wary of the — only get harder. they will have to be wary of the usa, _ only get harder. they will have to be wary of the usa, a _ only get harder. they will have to be wary of the usa, a very - only get harder. they will have to i be wary of the usa, a very different challenge because of large periods in that match against wales where they absolutely ran wales ragged, didn't they? i they absolutely ran wales ragged, didn't the ? ~ they absolutely ran wales ragged, didn't they?— didn't they? i think they've shown the 've didn't they? i think they've shown they've got _ didn't they? i think they've shown they've got a _ didn't they? i think they've shown they've got a lot _ didn't they? i think they've shown they've got a lot of _ didn't they? i think they've shown they've got a lot of qualities - didn't they? i think they've shown they've got a lot of qualities in - they've got a lot of qualities in particular, the ability to keep the ball. ithink particular, the ability to keep the ball. i think they'll definitely be more worried about what england brings to the table than what england will be. they'll be focusing on themselves, fully aware of their issues and the problems usa can
6:41 pm
cause them. but if i'm in the england dressing room, i'm full of confidence after the amount of goals scored. i'm sure the weekend training has been done actively looking to bring that in today. ashley, you must still be feeling fairly flat after that result earlier, rob page says theyjust didn't hit the levels expected and it was pretty unacceptable, he said, that was the word he used. the word flat sums it — that was the word he used. the word flat sums it up. _ that was the word he used. the word flat sums it no. i— that was the word he used. the word flat sums it up, i think _ that was the word he used. the word flat sums it up, i think we all - that was the word he used. the word flat sums it up, i think we all feel- flat sums it up, i think we all feel like that — flat sums it up, i think we all feel like that. we could see that with the boys — like that. we could see that with the boys at the end of the game. they— the boys at the end of the game. they never— the boys at the end of the game. they never really got up to speed with the — they never really got up to speed with the game, they didn't have any control— with the game, they didn't have any control in— with the game, they didn't have any control in it — with the game, they didn't have any control in it. i think the boys will be disappointed — they didn't perform _ be disappointed — they didn't perform as well as we know they could _ perform as well as we know they could do. — perform as well as we know they could do, for whatever reason that might— could do, for whatever reason that might be — could do, for whatever reason that might be. now they'll have to go back and — might be. now they'll have to go back and debrief what happened in such a _ back and debrief what happened in such a trig — back and debrief what happened in such a big game and why they didn't perform _ such a big game and why they didn't perform to— such a big game and why they didn't perform to those standards that they previously _ perform to those standards that they previously set. perform to those standards that they previously set-— previously set. there's always hope, and the 'll previously set. there's always hope, and they'll be _ previously set. there's always hope, and they'll be hoping _ previously set. there's always hope, and they'll be hoping that _ previously set. there's always hope, and they'll be hoping that perhaps . and they'll be hoping that perhaps england to the business tonight, so

6:43 pm
it took 12 years for qatar to build this world cup. they may be playing in it for ten days. not everything can be planned for — what if the hosts, might ask, they were boarded a penalty here at the time it was 0-0 a penalty here at the time it was 0—0 and there was still hope was back but there was also fear. senegal waited on a nervous moment— in a blur, smashed in front. this felt like their party on qatar's property. three minutes into the second half, they took things up a notch — diedhiou, the score of the type of gold the injured sadio mane was relied on for. for the first time in the tournament, some qatari energy that ended in this goal. at the arabian flight arrived too late in the day. senegal refused to loosen their grip and the argument was settled by bomba jang. they look to sink qatar on the brink. their only remaining glimmer of light remained ecuador beating the
6:44 pm
netherlands. a smash hit from one of this tournament's breakthrough acts. ecuador sits in the andes, though, they're used to travelling uphill. 0ne they're used to travelling uphill. one goal was disallowed for offside, but not this from valencia, his third of the tournament already. the momentum now was with ecuador, 44th in the world, but this close to victory and to the verge of the knockouts. they still might get there — knockouts. they still might get there - qatar definitely won't. patrick gouiri, bbc news. neymar�*s world cup curse has returned — the brazil striker will miss the rest of the group stage. he damaged ankle ligaments in their win over serbia last night, and was in tears in the dugout. neymarfractured his back at the 2014 tournament, and wasn't fully fit in 2018 after foot surgery. brazilian defender danilo is also out for the next two matches with an ankle problem.
6:45 pm
let's have a quick look at some of the day's other headlines. bermuda's first olympic champion, flora duffy, has become the first woman to be crowned world triathlon champion four times. she overtook georgia taylor brown in the overall standing after beating the british triathlete in abu dhabi today. 39 football bans have been sentenced for disorder ahead of manchester united's home game with liverpool in may of last year. the game had to be called off when fans broke into old trafford in protests against the glazer family. offences included assault, criminal damage and burglary. former champion apprentice jockey marco ghiani has admitted taking cocaine and has had his licence withdrawn for six months. the 23—year—old italian tested positive at newcastle racecourse in august. let's return to the world cup, and one of the big stories of the day there in qatar — iran's injury time win over wales.
6:46 pm
my colleague poorria jefereh, from bbc persia, joins us. a roller—coaster of emotions for iran and their fans so far, that heavy defeat to england, and now this dramatic win over wales, how are the supporters back hom engaging with the fortunes of the national team. it seems quite crazy, you say iran has beat wales 2—0 and it's a political statement. there are three types of fans right now — the government supporters who want to take credit for this win, then there's the protesters who are saying this team belongs to the islamic republic and is not the representative of iran, so they're not cheering this win. and there's a third type of fan who says "we don't like the government, they are part of the protesters," but they say
6:47 pm
this win goes under the name of iran. many years from now, maybe there's another government in place, but this win will be written in the name of iran, like what we saw in brazil of 1970 after the dictatorship at the time, or italy in the late 1980s under the fascist regime of mussolini. so there's a lot of politics underlining this world cup. it’s lot of politics underlining this world cup-— world cup. it's an incredibly sensitive — world cup. it's an incredibly sensitive issue _ world cup. it's an incredibly sensitive issue for _ world cup. it's an incredibly sensitive issue for the - world cup. it's an incredibly i sensitive issue for the players world cup. it's an incredibly - sensitive issue for the players - at sensitive issue for the players — at the heart of it, are we reading too much into the players not singing the anthem in their first game against england, some of them singing it in this match against wales? are we looking too hard for signs of solidarity from those players, with all those very bloodied protests going on back home against the government? you bloodied protests going on back home against the government?— against the government? you look at the -la ers against the government? you look at the players in — against the government? you look at the players in the _ against the government? you look at the players in the first _ against the government? you look at the players in the first game - the players in the first game against england, they kind of did
6:48 pm
everything — from the press conference, when they did sympathise with the protesters, not singing the national anthem, with the protesters, not singing the nationalanthem, doing with the protesters, not singing the national anthem, doing those rituals before coming to the pit against england, and it didn't make the supporters happy. so one would guess they tried everything on the pitch and it didn't work, so they sat down and it didn't work, so they sat down and decided, let's do this on the pitch against wales, at least try to get a result — and may be by doing that, you'll make a portion of the fans happy. amazingly you look at this groupie, you've got the iran game against usa coming up at the same time england are playing wales, and that's probably the most politically charged of this world cup, this group stage in 2022. in amazingly, after iran lost 6—2 to england, beating wales today, maybe they only need a point under the next game to make it to the knockout
6:49 pm
