england fans celebrating in the british capital yesterday after their team's win against the renditions of football's coming home topped off a dramatic day in the world cup it's all the free lions go through to the quarterfinals for the first time since two thousand and six one for england fans that's for sure. from our sports desk is here to talk us through the action if you do see you on it so let's talk about the game england went into the game as marginal favorites how did they play well yes i mean as you said there were favorites going in but it was two evenly matched saud's and i think even more so in got a boost before the game when one is were very good as columbia's best player was ruled out through injury and so england were the better team of the ninety minutes extra time was a bit more topsy turvy but it was a very very scrappy affair there are a lot of fails those a bit of play acting from both sets of play as. yellow cards were handed out so

that shows just how nasty this game was in a lot of ways but as is the case with football even when the field of play isn't so aesthetically pleasing there's still plenty of drama and we'll see that in our highlights coming up. kerry came penalty after fifty seven minutes put england in the lead against an ultra defensive colombia side without the services of their injured star hi mr rodriguez. in injury time england keeper jordan pickford had to produce his best save but was powerless on the ensuing corner when yet he mean up pounded the ball into the net for the last ditch colombia equaliser i mean is third goal at this world cup sent the match into extra time when england was only two minutes away from advancing to the quarterfinals. after a goalless extra time england had to go through the dreaded penalty shootout jordan pickford saved carlos back as attempt and then up stepped eric dyer and finally

england not only won a penalty shoot out but made it through to the quarterfinals to. incredible scenes there what does this victory mean for england fans it means a lot. to put it shortly it's pretty hard to put into words because this ends years if not decades of for many england fans obviously they haven't won the world cup since one in sixty six that this was the first time england had won a world cup no match in any major tournament wins in two thousand and six but more importantly they won on penalties and this was the big deal for the england fans because they know more so than any other team in the world how hurtful it can be to go out on penalties they haven't won a one before this match on penalties in three occasions the world cup which is in long wanted a record and so i have english friends in this family. and my phone was

off when the building went in they were going absolutely crazy after the results so i think this really shakes a monkey off england's backs you know getting rid of that coerce of the penalty shoot out and i think england fans are starting to believe that their team might go all the way. you know what we've seen some big teams crash of the world cup i mean the world's best two players leo messi and cristiano ronaldo you know they've had to pack their bags so who are the fans turning their attention to now yeah well in a way it's kind of nice that ronaldo and messi are there because now we get rid of the debate of who is the best flying the world and a few others have a chance to come forward i think even fans will be looking at very kind. of the moment russian correspondents they went out into the straits and i asked the fans themselves and so have a say have a look at what those fans think about that and understand we're not going to see that piece no dramas we're going to save it for the for the next four because i think it's going to wrap it up for sports that you don't expect thank you very much

more sports desk and i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day to be can join us that will see that. we've been fighting for the case to take you seriously in the world number one here's what's coming out. on t w. two point zero on emissions smart women smart talks smart station and the police and by no means an attack on it were increasingly dangerous stuff to make sure minds.
