celebration of football, the best teams, the best players, a chance to make yourself heard. however you do it, it can be unconventional or unintentional. only the morocco winner will know if you meant it or not. the player straying offside was certainly out in the plan. however, no intervention needed when they tried the same thing in the second half. . , tried the same thing in the second half. ., , , . ~ tried the same thing in the second half. ., , a . half. lightning has struck twice. nothin: half. lightning has struck twice. nothing to _ half. lightning has struck twice. nothing to save _ half. lightning has struck twice. nothing to save belgium - half. lightning has struck twice. nothing to save belgium this i half. lightning has struck twice. i nothing to save belgium this time. their golden generation has yet to deliver silver. the belgians, it is now or never, and if it is to be now, they will have to do it the hard way. now, they will have to do it the hard way-— now, they will have to do it the l hard way-— can now, they will have to do it the - hard way-— can you hard way. they make it too! can you hear morocco _ hard way. they make it too! can you hear morocco now? _ hard way. they make it too! can you hear morocco now? what _ hard way. they make it too! can you hear morocco now? what about - hard way. they make it too! can you | hear morocco now? what about you, canada? yep, it took them less than two minutes to deliver canada's first—ever world cup goal. you wait for one and then almost immediately

result in their history. it was a first half that felt like one of the worst in history. the fact that this effort was the best chance says it all. the second half brought something that the opening 45 minutes had not. a shot on target. something worth smiling about. the smiles, though, were about to belong to costa rica. having created so little, this was their big chance. oh, it's in! keysher fuller with a crucial goal for costa rica. the crucial goal for costa rica. the crucial goal— crucial goal for costa rica. the crucial goal in _ crucial goal for costa rica. the crucial goal in their _ crucial goal for costa rica. the crucial goal in their captain was about to make a crucial save. chaos in the box as japan push for an equaliser. but he kept his cool. something that cannot be said for the costa rica fans as the referee blew the whistle. the team had the win that blows the group wide open. well one final match is currently under way. it's 4 time champions germany and 2010 champions spain.. rhia chohan is outside the stadium for us.

all the groups seem to be wide open, but this one in particular, after today's results, is certainly up for grabs. germany need this win. yeah, but auoin grabs. germany need this win. yeah, but going back _ grabs. germany need this win. yeah, but going back to _ grabs. germany need this win. yeah, but going back to the _ grabs. germany need this win. yeah, but going back to the earlier - grabs. germany need this win. ic—u but going back to the earlier game, you could see what it meant to fans in the stands, and the ones back in costa rica were woken up to that result at 6am. just one shot on target, but that's all it took, and they would have restored some pride after the embarrassing defeat to spain. a missed opportunity for japan who could have gone straight through, and the results also thrown group b into disarray, because if germany beat spain and all four teams will be on level terms with one left to play, and that huge upsetin one left to play, and that huge upset in group f where morocco's win over belgium, their second best team

according to fifa rankings, a loss over canada will send them through, and their loss to croatia means they are second to exit after hosts qatar, and belgian's hosts rest on their game against croatia and if they do go out it may be the end of they do go out it may be the end of the road for their golden generation.— the road for their golden reneration, , ., ., the road for their golden reneration. , ., ., , generation. just how important is sain - generation. just how important is spain - germany _ generation. just how important is spain - germany now? _ generation. just how important is spain - germany now? 37- generation. just how important is| spain - germany now? 37 minutes generation. just how important is - spain - germany now? 37 minutes into spain — germany now? 37 minutes into the match, still goalless. yes. spain - germany now? 37 minutes into the match, still goalless.— the match, still goalless. yes, half an hour ago _ the match, still goalless. yes, half an hour ago behind _ the match, still goalless. yes, half an hour ago behind me _ the match, still goalless. yes, half an hour ago behind me it - the match, still goalless. yes, half an hour ago behind me it was - an hour ago behind me it was bustling with fans who have tickets to this headline much in these group stages, which is under way. spain looking for the winter send them to the knockouts after that emphatic display against costa rica, eyes will be on the 18—year—old who became youngest player to score since pele in 1978, but even more as riding on it, generally wanting to

come back from the humbling defeat to japan to avoid a second group stage exit in successive world cups. spain have had a shot on target, an early warning for germany. irate spain have had a shot on target, an early warning for germany.- early warning for germany. we will take a close _ early warning for germany. we will take a close eye _ early warning for germany. we will take a close eye on _ early warning for germany. we will take a close eye on that. _ let's tell you a few things happening away from the world cup. boreham wood continued their fa cup exploits by beating league one side bristol rovers to reach the third round for the third year running. rovers suffering only their second defeat in 13 games. bournemouth have appointed gary o'neil as their head coach on a permanent basis. he's been in charge on an interim basis since the sacking of scott parker in august. defending gallagher premiership champions leicester tigers survived a valiant fight back

from london irish to beat them 33—31 at welford road. this try from jasper wiese sealed what was a thrilling win after london irish had threatened an upset. back to qatar, as we draw closer to that crunch match between england and wales in their final group match on tuesday. wales have it all to do after a disappointing tournament so far they've picked up just one point from their first two matches. our correspondent hywel griffith reports from doha. trained under the desert sun, wales's loss to iran on friday left them listless and looking like their world cup was already at an end. for the players it wasn'tjust a red defeat, it was the feeling that they had failed to show the world what they are capable of. irate had failed to show the world what they are capable of.— they are capable of. we didn't achieve that _ they are capable of. we didn't achieve that and _ they are capable of. we didn't achieve that and that - they are capable of. we didn't achieve that and that was - they are capable of. we didn't - achieve that and that was probably the most disappointing thing, the

big disappointment, but we have taken a medicine and are ready to go again. taken a medicine and are ready to go aaain. ~ ., , taken a medicine and are ready to go aaain. ~ . , ., ., ., . again. wales now have to bounce back for what will — again. wales now have to bounce back for what will be _ again. wales now have to bounce back for what will be their _ again. wales now have to bounce back for what will be their toughest - again. wales now have to bounce back for what will be their toughest test - for what will be their toughest test in this world cup so far, only beating england give them any chance at all of staying in the tournament. that last happened almost a0 years ago. history points towards the possibility of an upset that, based on recent form, very few pundits expect to see on tuesday. the players have to believe. it expect to see on tuesday. the players have to believe.- players have to believe. if not impossible. — players have to believe. if not impossible, no. _ players have to believe. if not impossible, no. while - players have to believe. if not impossible, no. while there l players have to believe. if not| impossible, no. while there is players have to believe. if not - impossible, no. while there is still a chance, it's really simple for us, we are fully motivated and incentivised to throw absolutely everything into getting a win. this is a a-rou everything into getting a win. this is a grouo of _ everything into getting a win. this is a group of players considered to be a golden generation. today they fell silent to remember gary speed, a manager who dreams of seeing them play in a world cup. motivation, if

any was needed, for a game in which they have to give their all. england are virtually guaranteed a place in the last 16 despite a disappointing 0—0 draw with the usa on friday, but marcus rashford insists they're ready to return to their winning ways. as players we always want to play our best football, but it's not possible. you can't always play, you play your best football, and you have to learn to win games when you are not playing well, because it's unrealistic to think that you are going to play, you're going to be the best team all the best individual on a pitch every single game. you know, we obviously are not happy with the way that we performed in the last game, we know we can do better, but at the same time we are in a strong position in the group.

it's not often that teams win all three games in group games, so if we manage to beat wales, which we will be looking to do, then it can be considered as a good start. you will have to wait — considered as a good start. you will have to wait for _ considered as a good start. you will have to wait for tuesday _ considered as a good start. you will have to wait for tuesday for - considered as a good start. you will have to wait for tuesday for that . have to wait for tuesday for that one, but spain — germany considering one, but spain — germany considering on bbc one, just approaching half—time, still goalless. a goal ruled out for offside from germany. germany in desperate need of a win, they sit bottom of the group again after the defeat to japan. this is a four—time champion in germany at this world cup. plenty still to come in the second half. that one on bbc one, and on the bbc sport website. that is all from sportsday. much more throughout the evening, buy from me.

welcome to— the national robotarium. i believe you came i to see some robots. we. ..got. . . robots. now, this is our kind of place! just opened at heriot—watt university in edinburgh, the national robotarium is a research centre for scientists, to take the latest robotics and explore the best ways they can be used in industry as well as all walks of life.

one of the aims of the national robotarium is to try and work out what work works for humans and what work doesn't work for humans, and therefore the robots should do that work instead. that's what they're trying to work out. what? well, if you didn't understand what that was about, maybe the robots could explain it better. what sort of research goes on here? research about human robot interaction, - artificial intelligence and trustworthy - autonomous systems. are they going to do weird experiments on us? no, this is a kind of place where they work with industry to explore robotics in society and in the workplace. great. i love field trips. i feel excited. well, don't we all? one of the superstars of the robot world in general is spot — boston dynamics�* flagship all—terrain dog—o—pod. out of the box, spot comes with lots of simple—sounding but really actually

very complicated ability. that's my favourite. that's the bit i love — the side—to—side. spencer laughs. it can walk, balance, and it has lots of built—in safety features. and then it's up to researchers like rahul to try and customise it for new applications. we are looking at using this in construction sectors, especially getting them to walk around in confined spaces like in the nuclear decommission sites. one of the things that we are doing right now is adding some custom sensors, like 3d laser scanners, generating a 3d map of a construction site. what it's doing right now is using the manipulator arm to semi—autonomously pick up a bottle. rahul has programmed in the idea of the bottle, the image of the bottle, and then spot is going and picking it up on its own. and it's done a good job. good boy!

boston dynamics may have created the best—known
