. hundreds of families separated and reuniting them is a mess. now the u.s. government says it might need more time, this as fallout continues other than the trump administration's immigration policy. also, divers trying to rescue -- evacuate rather the thai football team facing a critical point in the rescue efforts. we're on that story for you and heartbreak in brazil. saturday's world cup games draw near. live from cnn, world headquarters in atlanta, welcome

our viewers all around the world. i'm george howell. "cnn newsroom" start right now. at 4:00 a.m., the trump administration scrambling to follow u.s. court orders to reunite some 3,000 migrant children with their families. the deadline was friday. the u.s. government was supposed to have made sure that every separated parent had a way to contact their child. a government attorney says she believes she met that goal, but says an upcoming deadline for tuesday, well, that will be trickier. that is when officials must reunify. every child under the age of five. by then, and july 26th, every family must be reunited. u.s. officials say they need more time. miguel marquez explains. >> reporter: this woman is 39

from guatemala. she may be the first separated parent to get out of detention after going through a normal immigration process after president trump signed an executive order ending the separation of families as part of his zero-tolerance policy. i can't stand being apart from my son, she says. just give me my son. she hasn't seen her 10-year-old son since may 19. she even wrote him a letter. she believes her son is in the same brownsville facility visited by dhs second kristen nielsen last week. the deport station officers told me i had to go to florida to be with my family, but i'm not leaving without my son. her uncertainty about how to get her son back is a sign that parents who are released even by the administration don't have a clear process for reuniting with their children. a woman named ada being held at port isabelle says in a phone

call to cnn she is not sure where her son is and the promise of two calls a week have never happened. no one has called, she says. social workers don't answer our calls. i'm desperate. i want to know how my son is. i want to talk to him. by a federal judge's order, the trump administration has to put detained parents in regular contact with their kids. most have had at least one phone call, some speak regularly, others not at all. it is not clear the administration will meet other deadlines like reuniting kids four and under with their parents by next tuesday. a delegation visited their citizens and one mother had this stunning claim. some parents still don't know exactly where their children are, he says. a mother here only knows her 3-year-old is somewhere in new york. in documents filed in federal court, the government says it is

trying to verify parentage through dna tests and likely won't make deadlines to reunite all families. so the woman at the top of that story, she is looking for her 10-year-old son, she just got out of detention in the last 48 hours. she was in a town called taylor, texas about 5 1/2 hours from where we are here in brownsville. she believes very strongly that her son is in this facility here in brownsville. and she wants to come here. she's been trying to work with hhs. they basically said you should go to your family in florida and wait. she doesn't want to do that a, she wants to stay here. she can't get any satisfaction basically. she wants to come here, knock on that door, try to see her son. hug her son. and reunite with him. miguel marquez, cnn, brownsville, texas. let's talk more about this now with navid, immigration

attorney joining us from los angeles. pleasure to have you. we've seen one deadline pass. a series of others on the horizon, but still no hard numbers on exactly what is happening. do you have confidence in what the government is saying? >> i don't have confidence in what the government is saying and neither does the judge frankly. we are just days away from the next important deadline and the government has come to court asking for more time saying and conceding that it cannot meet the deadlines that have already been set by the court. it has also revealed that it is upped the estimate to now about 3,000 children who are still separated from their parents. and of these 3,000 children, there are 100 who are under the age of five. >> this number about 3,000, quite frankly, just not good enough, right? we need to know exact numbers. as journalists voirs, we will

continue to push to find out what those exact numbers are, but as an attorney yourself, what recourse do you have to demand accountability and transparency here? >> well, we demand account ability through the courts. and the courts have to keep the administration accountable as it has been doing. today in the hearing the government also revealed that of these 100 children under the age of five, about 16 of them, 16 of them the government has no idea who their parents are or how to reunite them. we need to keep them accountable by litigating and holding the administration accountable for this chaos it has created for several. >> let's talk specifically though about the limited rights quite frankly that people have when they cross the border seeking asylum or if they try to cross the bore illegally, what rights do they have? >> they have a lot of rights as

protected under the constitution. they have the right to due process. basically that means fairness. that means we will apply our laws fairly. it means we won't tear your kids away from your arms. it means when you show up at our borders and apply for asylum lawfully, we will hear your case and give you a chance to prove your fear and determine whether you meet the requirements for asylum or not. >> how difficult though is it? from what you've seen so far, how difficult is to reconnect these children with their parents? >> it is incredibly difficult and that is only because the government has been disorganized and has not been foreseeing the difficulties of reuniting these children. when 20 of the parents of these 100 toddlers have already been deported to another country

while their kids remain here in the hands of the u.s. government, it is not an easy feat to make this reunification happen. >> as a nation of laws though, people who assume the presidea president, they say if you do this i will legally, you run the risk of being separated. what is your answer to that argument here when people find themselves in this situation? >> that is a good analogy. let's talk about that. the criminal charge for these people is a misdemeanor. it is equivalent to a low level shoplifting charge. and what the government has been doing with their zero-tolerance policy is decided that, hey, we're going to criminally prosecute every single one of these people who have committed the misdemeanor crime of an improper entry. and by doing so, the government

has conceded that they are siphoning away resources from the true threats, from the smugglers that are also crossing our border and need to be apprehended and process dutiesing those people who have much more serious -- present much more serious dangers to our community. >> and do you get a sense right now that people are getting due process or are people being denied due process? >> clearly the people are still being denied due process when we have these families still separated and the government unable to meet the court ordered deadline to reunify these families. there is no due process when these families remain separated. there is no due process when people who are fleeing for safety for their lives, like me and my family, show up to the united states hoping for a helping hand and instead are shown the fist and detention

center and no justice. >> navid, thank you so much for your time and perspective. we'll keep in touch. now for the u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo, in north korea this hour, his third trip to pyongyang. pompeo met with senior north korean officials for two days. s buthe burning question, will there be more clarity on exactly what north korea is will be to do on the issue of due nukizatinuk denuclearization and also the issue of returning u.s. troops' remains. andrew stevens is following the story for us. holding meetings is one thing, but what comes out of that meeting, that is what is more important. is there any indication that pompeo is making any headway? >> reporter: there is no clear indication of what headway he

has made. we're getting a few lines from a state department spokesman who is traveling with pompeo, they are speaking to the pool which is accompanying the u.s. delegation in pyongyang. and the spokesman says that the secretary of state has been very firm in his conversations, this is with the right hand man to kim jung-un who has been leading the north korean side of the negotiations so far. the state department goes on to say that mr. pompeo has raised every element of the agreement made between donald trump and kim jung-un in singapore. it includes complete denuclearization, and repatriation of u.s. remains of military service people killed in the yokorean war in the earl 1950s. these issues have been brought up, but as yet we don't know what has been concluded, what has been decided if anything at all. there is a lot of pressure on mike pompeo to come away from

pyongyang with something. we know that the remains of those servicemen has been discussed and mike pompeo had made reference to that before. but other than that, he has talked quite vaguely in many ways about, you know, basically fill managemeing in the gaps of issues that were agreed upon at that june summit and that was the key take or oig, oaway obvi sides working on full denuclearization. but at this stage, we don't know the full details. will there be a list of north korea materials, weapon, its program on the u.s. can start verifying what it actually has got that? we don't know. but mike pompeo is due in poke i don't don't -- due in tokyo to brief his counterparts in south korea and japan on what was discussed. so we may get more detailed in the coming hours. >> andrew stevens live for us in

seoul, thank you for the reporting. america's trade disputes have reached new heights with an all-out trade war with china. beijing says it had no choice but to respond placing tariffs on $34 billion worth of american goods just after the u.s. levied an identical tariff. all of this happening as the u.s. is fighting with canada, fighting with mexico, fighting with the european union over steel and aluminum imports. but with china, analysts say neither country will likely back down anytime soon. let's go live to beijing. steven channing is following the story for us. both nations trying to target these tariffs in specific sectors to make a real impact here. >> reporter: that's right. both sides' lists were not random, they were carefully considered and decided. if you look at the u.s. list,

president trump is clearly going after china's high tech industries which he says has been benefitting tremendously through stealing intellectual property or forcing american companies to hand over technologies to their chinese partners. on the chinese side, soybean, pork, beef, tobacco. obviously the u.s. sells a lot of this to china, but another reason is these things tend to grow or be produced in states where a lot of people voted for donald trump where he continues to enjoy strong political support despite being a controversial president nationwide. so the chinese government is being very politically savvy here according to many experts. they are hitting the american farmers economically. likely hoping to turn them against the u.s. president and forcing him to change course on his trade policy. now, whether or not that would work remains to be seen, but

that approach has been compared to chinese acupuncture where you, you negotiatioknow, insert needles to exert maximum pressure or pain presumably on donald trump in this case. >> and as we talk about twisting the needle, what is the concern there in china given that that nation certainly looking to be a leader in a.i., in the tech sector and it seems the united states also targeting very specifically there. >> reporter: that's right. publicly the chinese government actually has toned down their rhetoric on the so-called made in china 2025 plan. that is the plan that trump has repeatedly attacked saying the chinese are handing out subsidies to prop up their industries and this is the kind of industrial policy donald trump considers part of unfair trade practices. but on the short term, the chinese are at disadvantage

because they buy a lot less from the u.s. than the other way around. so presumably they can run out of things to tariff soon. that is why experts talk about launching nontariff means, that is increasingly worrying more people. >> and one difference though with acupuncture, isn't it supposed to relieve pressure? it seems that a trade war has only increased that pressure. we'll see where this goes. thank you. still ahead, the storm clouds swirling around the white house. from immigration deadlines that it won't meet to new details in the russia probe, there is a lot to talk about. we're following the latest for you. plus this -- >> translator: i'm not blaming the wild boars team for his death. what is destined to happen, it will happen. >> more from the father of a former thai navy s.e.a.l. who

died during rescue efforts while many others there face a critical next few days to try to safer a you safe a youth football team.

i only had one child. i was extremely proud of him and his deeds. but seeing him ending up like -- i'm really upset. >> a family mourns as a nation vows the death of a former thai navy s.e.a.l. wasn't in vein. that was the father that you just heard of saman gunan, a diver who died friday taking part in efforts to help evacuate the youth football team that has been trapped in a flooded cave. the 12 boys and their coach have been underground now for two weeks. they have sent letters to their families and thai navy s.e.a.l.s are posting those notes to social media. let's go live to dave mckenzie at the scene of the rescue effort. and first of all the simple fact that it is not raining heavily behind you right now is very key for these crews trying to make the best and most of their time.

>> reporter: that's right. it means that the window is still open. they want to get this done one feels before the monsoon rain or even before substantial rain lashes the mountains behind me. because the boys have been trapped now in that cave system for 15 days. if the rain really comes down, they could be flooded. the leader of the command team saying that in fact they could just have a 10 square meter space left in it continues and of course the currents would increase and the difficulty of getting them out in an already extremely difficult rescue would just increase. now, there is a feeling here that we are moving toward a resolution one way or tother of this extraordinary rescue effort. there is a team of international 2k50i6 e divers in place, the leadership saying that the skill of those divers is key here and the mental state of those boys also key because if they manage not

to panic and if they can pull them in this buddy system through the tight cabins, there is a chance that they can get them all out safely. but it is an extra ordinarily difficult environment, a rescue that has never been attempted. nothing quite like this ever before. >> so it does seem that this window that you describe is certainly informing the pressure on these teams to move and to try to make this evacuation as quickly as possible and safely as possible. of course david, look the world is watching with a great deal of concern. one can only imagine what it is like to be a parent of any of these children. but we're starting to hear from some of the children. tell us more about that. >> reporter: that's right. they took in notebooks and scraps of paper and the boys sent very touching notes to everybody out here and to their family of course. and it just he shoshows how youy are and the things that they were talking about.

the whole group wrote they want to avoid homework when they get out, they want a whole variety of food, but that their spirits are generally up. one says don't worry, dad, mom, i will help mom every day. and another one, the weather is quite cold. don't forget my birthday. and it was just a few days ago inside that cabin. they have had to reduce the amount of people in there with the boys because of the critical oxygen levels. and i think that coupled with the impending rain, there is a feeling that this is possibly the best time to get the boys out, but when they do, it will be incredibly hazardous. >> thank you for the reporting. as david mentioned, rain, flooding and low oxygen levels are key in this rescue. tom foreman explains.

>> the only way air moves in and out of most caves is by a change of temperature on the ground above. and that would be true here as well. however, when you go 2 1/2 miles in and more than a half mile down, there would be virtually no effects from that. for practical purposes, these boys and their coach are in a sealed chamber where the air is running low if not running out. they should be getting 21% oxygen this every breath. right now they are reportedly down to about 15%. that means there is decreased ability to work strenuously, they have impaired coordination, you might not think very clearly. and in some cases they may have decreased ri vision in the low light. and they are bringing oxygen tanks in, so that may help, but it is worrisome. in the meantime outside they are trying to upum to pump all this away. currently they are getting more than 400,000 gallons out per hour, that is two-thirds of an

olympic sized swimming pool. the idea is maybe you can open some narrow gap and get some of these kids out quickly. but you what we're seeing from inside this cave from the maps see is that several areas are still very flooded.you what we' inside this cave from the maps see is that several areas are still very flooded. it is a big ask and it is not getting any better. think about it, everything they have been pumping out now has been water that showed up since the kids went into the cave. they have had actually a little lull here without much rain, but much more rain is coming and there is no indication that these pumps can keep up with it. for all of that though, the single biggest issue continues to be the topography of the cave. yes, there are strong currents and it is cold and they can't see, but there are areas here that are so small, only one person at a time can go through. the divers are even putting their tanks behind them, that is

why it is hard to get supplies in and out, that is why you can't really have a serious discussion about trying to lay a pipe over all this distance. and imagine trying to pull a frightened exhausted teen through that under water. takes six hour journey from the outside in for even experienced divers. engineers are saying basically that should be used as nothing because supply line right now and they should start pounding in from above with some kind of small supply opening to drop foot and fresh water through and to pump air in and simply keep these boys alive until they can figure out how to free them. >> tom foreman with the technical challenges of this risky rescue. we'll be right back. my name is jeff sheldon,

coast to coast, you are watching "cnn newsroom" from atlanta. i'm goshurnlg howel george howe headlines. the u.s. government is asking for more time to reunite migrant children with their parents. they are under court orders to reyou unite those under the age of five by tuesday, but u.s. officials estimate they can only reunite about half of those children by that time. the u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo met for a second day with north korean officials in pyongyang. they discussed efforts to denuclearize the peninsula and repatriate americans killed in the korean war. and americans are still connecting the dots from the paul manafort bank fraud trial

and the campaign. the president's former campaign chairman was given some $16 million in loans while the banker who approved the loans was seeking a role in the trump campaign. and according to a "new york times" report, president trump's lawyer says if mueller wants to sit down, have an interview with mr. trump, he will have to meet two conditions. one of those conditions, mueller's team must have evidence that the president committed a crime. and they must prove the president's testimony is necessary to close out the russia investigation. mr. trump's lawyer admitted to the "new york times" that there is not much of a chance that mueller would agree to those e demands. let's talk more about james davis, dean of political science in munich, germany. a lot to talk about, but let's

start with the proposed deal that is being floated suggesting mueller needs to prove the president committed a crime to get the interview. what are the chances that mueller's team going to something like that? >> it is a good question. i doubt that mueller would accept the terms. i think this is an effort by mr. giuliani and the team of the president to try to continue to undermine the mueller investigation, to discredit the mueller investigation, to now suggest that the mueller investigation -- mueller needs to already more or less proof that there was a crime committed before the president would be willing to talk to him. i mean what the investigation is all about is trying to collect the facts. if the president can contribute to the collection of facts, he should. he has indicated in the past he is more than willing to discuss this with the special counsel, so i'm wondering what has changed, why is the president now concerned and arguing that he doesn't really need to

testify unless there is proof that there has been a crime. >> certainly a question to be raised with all this. let's pivot now, let's talk about immigration. the government struggling to manage these deadlines to reunite families with their children. what do you make of how they are going about this process so far and the big picture here, the optics of their an ability inab give us solid numbers? >> this is once again an example that this administration is senator swagger than substance. there has been an incompetent process from the beginning. zero tolerance has not been thought through. we do a better job in the united states of tracking the property, the personal property, of a accused criminals and people arrested than we are of tracking human beings, children. this is unacceptable. it is unacceptable from any administration. but certainly unacceptable from this administration that has claimed that it is going to

enforce the laws of the country in a serious and competent way. they are showing incredible i incompetence and the courts are not accepting it either. the president is under a court order to return these children to their families. and if he saw this as a priority, i can't believe it couldn't be done with all the assets that the united states government could bring to bear on that. finally i want to talk about the changes at the epa, the scandal-plagued scott pruitt out. to replace him, andrew wheeler in as the new acting head of that agency. but let's take a look back at wheeler during a senate confirmation hearing last november. wheeler speaking about the issue of climate change. >> was anything happening when you climbed kilimanjaro there that relates to fossil fuel emissions? >> the air is very thin, but if

you are referring to the glacier on top of -- >> i'm asking you, was anything happening on kilimanjaro? >> the glacier is still there on top. >> that is not answering my question. >> do you believe human activity is driving the temperature increases on the planet? >> i believe that man has an impact on the climate, but what is not completely understood is what the impact is. >> the new head of the epa. given that response, what does that say to you about what can be expected of wheeler's approach leading this agency? >> well, i think we'll see more of the same. you know, mr. pruitt was clearly in bed with industry. his replacement is of the same ilk. this is an administration that has shown itself to be anything but about draining the swamp. i mean the president ran on draining the swamp, but it seems more as if the swamp monsters have taken control of the

government. and it is that way whether we look at the epa, whether we look at the president's own enrichment of him and his family during this administration, whether we look at the recent charges against the commerce secretary wilbur ross for insider trading. whether we see the obvious corruption of mr. manafort in running the campaign. i mean this is a bunch of grifters who have taken over the united states government and the standard that has been established over many generations ever administrations has been violated time and time again. there are no ethics in this strairks a administration and that is what the american people have to come to terms with. >> thank you so much for your perspective. in the united kingdom, british police are ramping up their search for the source of the second contamination of the

nerve agent novichok this time after a couple was poisoned in southern england last week. the victims are in critical condition. erin mclaughlin reports from amesbury. >> reporter: this is the last time we see dawn sturgess and charlie rowley before they fell ill, exposed to a deadly nerve agent. cnn obtained this footage of the couple arriving at a corner shop. it is time stamped friday, june 29, 9:54 p.m. you see sturgess walking in, her boyfriend rowley waiting outside drinking from a bottle. she picks up four cans of beer and two bottles of wine. pays the cashier, then leaves with rowley. this is the shop where the couple bought alcohol before continuing into the night. you can see just over that way, the street where dawn sturgess lives currently cordoned off. it is unclear where they went next, but footage shows them

walking in this direction towards the center of town where four months ago a former russian spy and his daughter were found poisoned by novembichok. the couple was exhe is suppoop substance listed as a weapon of mass destruction. authorities have yet to establish a direct link to skripal and his daughter. most concerning right now, authorities have not locateded the contaminated item. tracing rowley and sturgess' steps from that friday, critical to the investigation. a friend told local media earlier they visited stores in salisbury, bought some food and purchased a blanket from a local charity shop. midday surveillance footage catches sturgess making an alcohol run in the center of town before the couple and their friend enjoyed the evening drinking at a park in salisbury

that is now cordoned off. they spent the night at rowley's home in amesbury. by 11:00 a.m. the next morning, sturgess was critically ill. by 3:30 p.m., rowley was in a similar state. now forensic experts are moved into come you are allscour rowlg for clues. even a small trace can be deadly. >> and now erin is joining us live. given what we've seen of this couple, tell us about the mood of people in and around that town as people and investigators continue looking for clues. >> reporter: people here are extremely concerned. i was speaking to one woman just a few days ago who said she no longer believes that salgs bury salisbury is a safe place to raise her children. so you definitely get a sense of anxiety here on the streets of this city as well as the village

of amesbury which is some nine miles away. people telling me they are extremely concerned that authorities don't seem to have a handle on the situation. just warning last night that it could take weeks even months to figure out the source of the contamination. for examples corner shop where we obtained that surveillance footage of the couple just hours before they fell ill, we were speaking yesterday to the owner of that corner shop and a he said that two investigators walked into the shop, demanding that footage. so authorities are still working to piece together where the couple was and there is a concern here that someone else could get sick. >> erin mclaughlin, thank you. we'll keep in touch with you. still ahead, whether they are ready or not, a hurricane is nearing the caribbean.

the storm battered island of puerto rico is rushing to prepare.

welcome back. i'm george howell. in japan, almost 2 million people have been told they will need to leave their homes because of torrential rain and flooding. take a look now at these dramatic images, they show damaged roads, destroyed homes. shows how devastation has been called by the record rainfall there. we understand at least eight people have died. japan's weather agency says there is more to come throughout the weekend though. it has upgraded its warning to the highest level in nagasaki andhiroshima. the government of puerto rico has declared a state of emergency in preparation for hurricane beryl. residents rushed to stores stocking up on food and water.

the pain from last year's definivastating hurricane seaso still fresh in their minds. derek van dam is here to tell us about this particular storm. and you can understand people after what they dealt with last year rushing to the stores now. >> the pain and anxiety in anticipation of another tropical system. hurricane beryl, this is the latest information from the national hurricane center. it is a very small storm. this is the good news. there is some forecast of it strengthening and then it will reach an area of unaffafavorabl conditions. that means that that should start to disorganize the storm and eventually weaken it. when will that happen? time will tell. here is the lesser antilles, there is the latest wind information, 80 miles an hour and just in the upper corner of your screen is where puerto rico is located.

these are the latest hurricane watches -- excuse me, tropical storm watches from gdominica which has the potential for hurricane conditions. the latest computer model guidance shows that it sustains the category 1 hurricane status through the windward islands that would be late sunday in early monday and then it starts to perhaps start to weaken and some of the computer models keep it offshore from puerto rico. good news, but will they receive some of outer bands? it is possible. so of course the anxieties from last season carrying over, people want to go 2 the store, t the food, gas, just in case the system makes an about turn or perhaps strengthens and goes

against what the forecasts are calling for at this moment in time. nonetheless, we will keep a close eye on it. and the heat conditions over the western u.s., los angeles 106 degrees on friday. it was already -- it already broke the all-time record temperature for that particular day by 10:15 in the morning. and do you know what this means? fire season under way, look what happened in california here. this is incredible to see the holiday fire that still is raging across the region. this is spread by dry conditions and very hot winds over the area. cause is still under investigation, but that brush fire is moving quick among several other fires that are on going oig. >> clearly the hot temperatures do not help. thank you. look, world cup action, fans cannot wait for two more quarter finals. and fair to say all of england will likely come to a standstill

. a stunned brazil humbled in russia. the five time world cup champs crashed out of the tournament on friday outbattled by belgium. and as expected, there were celebrations in brussels and a similar scene on the streets of paris. so now it is france and belgium set to meet in the semifinals next tuesday in st. petersburg. let's go live to amanda davies following this all. a stunning performance from belgium. what has been the key to their success so far in this tournament? >> reporter: yeah, george, i'm not sure there is a team who we've used that phrase dark horses with more in recent times than belgium. such an array of talent across the board with their players.

but the feeling is in recent tournaments, they just haven't managed to create a team ethos from their individual talents. and they have been accused of underachieving and not having the mental toughness that the big to which teams need. last night against brazil, they absolutely laid those criticisms to rest and stepped up absolutely when it mattered against brazil. of course we often here the phrase five-time world cup champions, many pre-tournaments favorites. and they put in such a performance that they made brazil look pretty average. brazil had 27 chances, they just couldn't convert. their star players like neymar didn't get the time on the ball they needed. they didn't get the opportunities to finish it off. and belgium stuck to their game

plan and played fantastic football. take nothing away from brazil, it was absolutely a match worthy of a world cup quarter final, arguably a final. two fantastic teams with so much talent across the board. but this belgium side really have stepped up. maybe it is just simply a matter of age and experience. many of their players are in their late defen20s, they have a number of major tournaments, and now they have taken the big step forward. but no easy round in france. >> and england later against sweden, there is a real belief the world cup could be coming back to that country. how realistic is that? >> reporter: i'm trying not to get too excited. there are a lot of england fans on the banks of the river here over the last 24 hours. apparently more so than we saw in moscow for their last game against colombia, but you have

to say hopes are very high. people are getting excited given the manner of that victory. and i don't mean the way that they played against colombia because that wasn't that great. the fact the match went to 90 minutes and then extra time. it was the fact that finally england got that monkey off their backs finally winning a world cup penalty shoot-out, the way the team reacted to that, what it would have done for mora morale. and they are relatively young with an inexperienced manager, so people are starting to dream with the prospects of facing russia or croatia in the next round. it doesn't get much easier at this stage on paper. sweden won't be any pushovers. they themselves want to write their own chapter in history. but yes, a lot of england fans getting excited. i'm trying to remain very professional at all times
