6:39 pm
the squad. i like to see our players improve and we want everyone to perform and be at their best, and, ultimately we need everyone at their best to go on and do great things. our correspondent natalie pirks is there, natalie brilliant that there's a bit riding on the game, but you can't see the belgians stopping england can you? yeah, i mean it, on paper, no. belgium are ranked 16 players below england was up they didn't qualify for the world cup. the fines are excited here because, as you say, england is on our great runs was there are 29 matches if they were to draw or beat vegan tonight. even though belgium reached the quarterfinals of the euros at a second time of asking that summer,

6:41 pm
before dumornay doubled their lead deep into added time. chile still had time to pull one back but it's haiti who have reached their first world cup and will be in group d with the lionesses, denmark and china portugal are also through to their first world cup. cameroon thought that they had forced extra time after ajara nchout equalised in the 89th minute to make it 1—1 in hamilton. but the referee pointed to the spot in the fourth minute of injury time after a cameroon handball, and carole costa sent the portuguese through. they'lljoin the usa, netherlands and vietnam in group e. panama take on paraguay for the final spot at the world cup in the early hours tomorrow. there are more champions league games tonight, manchester city are in germany facing rb leipzig in the first leg of their last 16 tie. will this finally be city's year, they were runners up to chesea two years ago, lost in the semi—finals last year. the city manager is being very philosophical about their prospects.
6:42 pm
at the end, the destiny is already written. we do our best what we have done, we have been close, sometimes not, sometimes closer. it is not an exception now. this is my feeling, i live that position. i have the feeling what we have done all of us for many years, whatever happened to us, it's going to fail. whatever i do personally with the future, i'm going to fail. nothing will be enough. you can listen to commentary of that city match on five live, ian dennis is at the red bull arena will it be a case of fourth time lucky for the premier league clubs in the champions league? so far, three played and three defeats. for pep guardiola and his site in rb it would be a tough test. matthew upson is me and he had praise for leipzig
