a cute backheel finish. a victory over the republic of ireland on sunday will guarantee promotion to the top tier ahead of new manager thomas tuchel starting in january. we have got so many quality players, isuppose we have got so many quality players, i suppose the biggest challenge would be fitting them all in and where they they all play? we have played with that balance, we have so much quality, players come in and out of form so you have to take that into account, but, i think there is a lot of good performances tonight, a real good team effort and hopefully we will see the same at wembley. sandro tonali scored his first goal since returning to football following a ten month ban for betting, and it gave italy the win they needed to make the nations league quarter finals. not far away from their 1—0 victory over belgium in brussels. france joined italy in the last eight, but only 16,000

were inside the stade de france for their goalless draw with israel, a game that took place amid a high—security operation just a week after violence erupted in amsterdam in connection with israeli club maccabi tel aviv�*s visit for a europa league match. translation: obviously the context is what _ translation: obviously the context is what it _ translation: obviously the context is what it was, - translation: obviously the context is what it was, it - translation: obviously the context is what it was, it is l context is what it was, it is not a context that we want to relive of course. there you go, it is not an excuse, unfortunately we have to deal with it, and it was a football match in those conditions. and the consequences of that led to what you saw. when you are at the stade de france it is always used to being very full, that wasn't the case but we knew that any way, in addition to the context, which is a heavy one, obviously. there weren't any fans wearing lionel messi shirts at argentina's world cup qualifier in paraguay after the home team's fa said they weren't allowed. argentina left asuncion without any points either after a 2—1 defeat. they're still top of

the ten team table though, while brazil are third, despite a 1—1 draw in venezuela, which might have been different if viniciusjunior hadn't missed a penalty. the real madrid forward still hasn't scored in world cup qualifying. that's 11 games now. the top six in the table get an automatic spot at the 2026 finals. translation: we put on an extra striker to translation: we put on an extra i striker to see _ translation: we put on an extra i striker to see if _ translation: we put on an extra i striker to see if we _ translation: we put on an extra i striker to see if we can - translation: we put on an extra i striker to see if we can change l striker to see if we can change our approach and get clearer chances but we met the opposing goalkeeper on a fantastic night. he made some wonderful saves and with everything we managed to create, we still lacked the main details. all in all i think it was a well contested game, an open game. the result left something to be desired because of the level of possession we had over the 90 minutes. we made a small mistake on the stroke of half—time which cost it dearly. england might have lost the one day series against west indies, but they've already wrapped up the t20s with two matches to spare. their third win out of three came by three wickets

in st lucia, with the tourists recovering from 37 for three to reach their target of 146 in the final over, thanks partly to sam curran�*s 41 and liam livingstone, who was dropped three times in his innings of 39. it's the sixth time in a row during this white ball series that the team winning the toss goes on to win the game. the hype turned into a bit of chaos, perhaps predictably, at the weigh in for the fight betweenjake paul and mike tyson in texas, with the you tuber—turned boxer launching an expletive laden rant after he'd been slapped by tyson. this is the moment things got a little out of hand, with the former world heavyweight champion hitting out at his opponent before they meet for a contest that will count on both fighter�*s professional records. paul said he didn't even feel the slap, and that tyson was an angry little elf. iron mike, who's 58 now, said �*talking's over�* before leaving the stage. they meet in at the at&t stadium arlington on friday night, in an event shown globally on netflix.

a bit of a complication. an area of low pressure crosses the country. warmer, milderair to the south. colder air to the north. that could cause a few issues as i will show you later. but as that clears away the real cold arctic air will hello. take hold from tuesday onwards. the first wave of colder air is across iceland at the moment behind this weather front, which is approaching into the north—west of scotland as we go through the afternoon and into the evening, with strengthening winds. south—westerly before they arrive. that will break up the cloud in eastern scotland and a mild day here. 111—15 degrees. but western scotland, northern ireland, north—west england, that wind brings extensive cloud, patchy, rain or drizzle. some of the sunniest weather further south but temperatures just 9—11 c. but temperatures just 9—11c. this evening and overnight strong to gale force winds in the far north of scotland. the weather front works its way south across scotland and northern ireland and outbreaks of rain for a time. clearer later. that weather front sits across northern england, north wales into the morning and here temperatures around 7—9 degrees. chilly either side of it with a frost in the sheltered glens of scotland. much more sunshine through

scotland, northern ireland first thing on saturday. there will be some cloud around bringing showers, mainly of rain but some sleet and hail possible. snow on the hills. turning sunnier after a cloudy start in northern england, north wales and the north midlands. fairly cloudy day, certainly compared to today in southern counties of england and wales. the cloud thick enough for some patchy light rain or drizzle. 13 here, single figure temperatures in the north. that colder air with all of us by sunday. a chilly start — bear that in mind if you're off to stand on the side of a rugby or football field. there will be some wintry showers in northern scotland. a few showers down the west initially but after a sunny start clouding over in the west. temperatures though — single figures for many. cold air is in place for the end of sunday. this weather system just pushing its way in. that will cause a bit of a hiccup in the early part of next week. this low pressure will have mild in the south, bringing wet and windy weather. 0n the northern edge we could see a spell of significant, potentially disruptive snow for some.

certainly not for all. where that happens is one thing that will have to keep an eye on. where that low pressure crosses will be crucial. once it goes, the rest of next week — much, much colder, overnight frosts, and some wintry showers for some of you.
