we have the final group. saudi arabia. but it's a moment to remember. forty five years old. and a growing between. twenty . one days opening world cup matches with.

good evening we all back in moscow and it is a beautiful time to be here perhaps not so much a russian supporter because russia have just lost the final three matching three phase three goals to nothing it appears like that a man sent off not the result they were looking for pizza solution and you know it was one of them games it was a free game you could you could try new players you could press play as they all came wrong with russia caught a yellow so disappointing and then we can go to. some amongst all the russian fans. to the russian fans to see that this was a free game or they very very disappointed with the team and maybe even stop

supporting them. well i have to say peter that this might be a bad result. for the nation was. fantastic area of some are gathered in the south in subzero between thousand people yet they kept pushing the team forward in the second half when russia was trying to find out goal didn't find it but the crowd was cheering them on and credit to them they were there until the final whistle even when the third goal went in. but again it's a mixed emotions for the fans here i just wanted to check something and they said that we lost but at the end of the day we qualified for the last sixteen and for many fans here we have actually traveled from the russian capital gets used to why because the last sixteen games that russia will be flying and good will be playing will find out tonight that game will be played in moscow to lose to keep every now

with eighty thousand spectators no question about it to move people and that's probably the silver lining to this. but then again everyone stay small that's positive and this is something that we see in the streets like old around the city of simyra. and peace i think we need to put it in context like you said kind of a free game they're already qualified and to chess solve did rest in place including particularly gullah vein who's been there playmaker the start of most good things have come from him and he wasn't on the pitch he was on the pitch and he was you could see it you see a lot with. russia not played well up to this world cup but i've played i think really really well in the two games running up to this game. but when you take a player like him out it shows and. the small link of who. came in because he came in with that instead of by a fan and this started the game instead of my finance who was obviously rested you

know he got himself sent off he's got two yellow cards in seven minutes totally ridiculous and letting his team down it meant that my your finance and had to come on the pitch again or not again but instead of being rested on and playing changes in thanking him for that the player he was helping to rest having to go back on the tape exactly he was starting to do so but at the end of all this ok russia is using this game for you know all the positives and then lex either i touched on it they're coming back to russia and you can still hear them they were shouting at us you see the still chanting so they're not you know that they're pretty pragmatic they understand the three then there's still plenty to celebrate but you know the way it's lined up. russia in the first game where the home team in the second game they were the home team that's how fifa does it so you know that determines which trashing them you're going through in this game russia even though it's in russia they were the away team and obviously russia don't play so well away from home and

they lost a game three nil and by doing that coming back to moscow they're going to play the next. either against spain portugal all around we know that by eleven o'clock tonight in luzhniki stadium in front of eighty thousand people and that i could tell you is very very significant and this is why we hope that the russian fans are putting this result into context and seeing it the way it is but just no dishonest and it's not of true reflection of how strong that the russian team is today all those that graphic it will fill up with lots of teams and some teams that maybe you didn't expect to appear on. russia will be very pleased just to make their way on to that you know that was the first hurdle to jump over qualify they've done that didn't go right today let's see how this came unfolded they went down pretty early on it was on ten minutes luis suarez with a free kick he took it well with

a great free kick it was all six a great free kick it was a silly fall to commit to that point and i said it half time people would look it up i can say but. you know he's vision was blocked and he was taken chance of the ball was going to go over the wall it didn't it's it's a quick take by by those who are as he sees he is a clever little sod i have to say that he just finds an exploit every little weakness in the defense and in the goalkeeper and when we show the third goal i know it's a kabbani go just just are just going to put this in now have a look at suarez this movement and he's a poacher he's there and i had come on he not been there he would have scored this is the third goal but the second goal obviously comfort it's now been given as an own goal against gerrish if we thought it wasn't but again the shot would have gone wide and it was deflected off the sheriff and that's why it goes down as

a so don't go let's have a look at this series of schools again officially the wrong and this time but he's always. in the action in one way or another so the shot came in and it was from diego lax out this was on twenty three minutes. and really didn't know too much about it. and again i can fade no chance no. it's just one of those it's it's like a it's a free go it's when things go wrong in the game you know these are the goals you can see it go and don't put too much into it you know of course the players are prepared to play these kind of games but to say that their hundred percent i don't think that they would have been they knew they were going through and they didn't have the same adrenaline even running through the system that gives you that the legend you know it's just one of those days and let's hope for the sake of the russian team that all the mistakes that can be made in the game were made today

well obviously that was a very bad start to nail down and things would get west thirty six minutes small because he said came in given his big we'll cut chance at right back and he blew it two yellow cards and off in the first half now obviously they were facing an uphill challenge at this point more than forty five minutes down to ten men. not the worst performance that i suspect a chess a father rocket of the backsides of time because they dug in and held it to tina right until the very end of this so you know that's a lot of positives taking that chance of can take out of the game have a look or you can see suarez it's come on you haven't if you know i hadn't been there and scored a goal so was would have scored a too similar or does it work as a well absent absolute poaches works at the poll just both of them but they're not similar absolutely i think from players and they. they work really well together and. it is a lethal lethal pair and that strong partnership in competition i think. i think

it's one of them it's one of the pairs that we. i have to be looking at. it in preparation for the games tonight spain portugal i don't think iran will but spain and portugal for sure will do anything they can to avoid you're right i'm sure about that because of edison. and of course. they've got more players in the team but these two guys they don't need much space they don't need much of a chance to score and he got on the scoresheet today he spent coaching the first two games it's not been happening for him in the first game he was excellent absolutely excellent but each goalkeeper was fantastic in that game he must have say at least four will class chances of of not in that first game but you know as i say they portugal spain they will be doing the outmost at nine o'clock to to avoid having to play your pride in the next round speaking if you are quite they

must be delighted everything going to plan for them so far top of the great correspondent you know neal was actually at the game in somalia for us and i believe we can speak live to now so you know just exactly how do the you're going funds they were coming out of that game. yeah well going into this of course it was in the group stage send off the russian team russia wanted but for your a good wind it very much was because for all their world cups and there was one record that europe wines had not broken and that was getting three group stage wins it's hard to believe but they've never done not until now on the really was a palpable sense of relief in the stadium when the second goal went in up to then it really had been you know russia chanting more and more when dot went in you could hear the south americans really get him to change but just

a note about the russians as well coming into the game i was speaking to quite a lot of people coming here. had to have their picnics before the much some of i take it all really just wanted to experience it because what they were saying was that you know this game is the biggest sporting event ever to happen in samoa you know they see it really is the heartland the first two games that russia played in the world cup moscow and st petersburg moving on to some more and you could sense that really from volunteers security people as well there was a real excitement in the year here the result may not have gone the way of russia but for europe blinds it very much as i think we're going to see much more partying in the wee hours as there has been all week long i've been here for a few days. and just you know the thing to note is that going into the match i have to say walking into the stadium it's the largest game i've ever heard he not going to both the russian and europe lyon fans both of them more games to look forward to

maybe a song saying that dancing and everything else continue for as long as possible. and i think you know neal there i don't understand he's never been to all traffic so it's. pretty loud that's quite loud here as well we mentioned you know the fans the russian fans still still chanting they go last to look forward to. two teams you haven't got too much to look forward to now because the both out of the competition saudi arabia and egypt and they have just played out their game with another very dramatic finish a late goal in saudi arabia he took a surprise victory especially considering that it was egypt who went in front talks through this twenty two minutes. yeah i mean this is this is you know the sad thing is that we have to say goodbye to players now and and one of those players that we have to say goodbye to assist him i. didn't play in the first game we had

to show louis that he got from the germans the final. you played in the second game score on a. and here he shows his true class and it's just sad that you know players of that caliber and quality but they're going home but you know it's what football is sometimes disappointing to some and very happy for some of us well speaking very happy for some others and some one particular player who was very briefly but extremely brightly in this competition this is the goalkeeper as some el hi daddy who has just become the oldest player ever at any position to take part in a world cup at the age of forty five and this was in saving a penalty and his world views well you know forty five years of age is that you can really call him a prospect you know i mean that is some story though isn't it so he keeps his team in the lead on his first ever gain weight breaking world records and he pulls off

a fantastic effort like that i mean that's what he will be talking about the grandkids and a great grandkids for many many years to come and it was it was an incredible save and again this is what football very very often does come up with such great stories that you know never mind him telling the grandkids this is something that we can talk about a guy at forty five years of age played or will come out and say the penalty and say that in some style by the way unfortunately for him you know that that the happiness only lasted for a couple minutes because in i don't know what you know why all of the all star all yeah all the time was that it aren't very very late into that first half was actually forty five minutes plus six very late into that at his own time there was an unappealing another penalty and this time. he could not do anything about it and it was one one has its reasons already. and yet to to do about that one for you

stick to your guns go to the same site. evaluate if you see the. the sense that i mean that story would have just become of it would have been folklore legendary if a so it's safe to say. that i was late drama to come you may have thought shootings already out of the competition the still warm wall they both would have been already thinking of packing their bags what are they going to be doing next week maybe pre-season training no no bit late winner and it went to saudi arabia found out the salary him and. he plays very nice and they're all pleased because she's busy the coach there oh yes please i didn't know he's going to do that but just shows this game did mean something to people you have to remember first of all it takes an awful long time to qualify for the world cup it's a two year process once you've quality qualified that's a lot of preparation and then you play two games in the space of five days and it's all over so you know there was

a lot of pride at stake today for these for these people everyone involved with saudi arabia and egypt and whoever came out on top of this also have a little bit of wrestling rights in the region congleton not to mention that but for saudi arabia to come away with a win they will travel back thinking we did apart from the first game we kind of did ok and i was just having a fleet bank that only ever won two games previously will cup final so it is a significant one for the country and for the fans to not shop another one trying to think was the south south africa i remember the way round it was it with the lazy run from like halfway line well having been involved in was in ninety four you know you're testing my memory now. i'm old i don't feel it's an early memories one of the first things to go but it's definitely a. good victory another bottle of a cheer to the south still russian did they know they lost they don't see. how came of these going to rough but we fixes in green bay and they are certainly

significant any tea from the top three could still go three spain facing rosmer. around applying for. which of these do you like the look of myself it has to be doesn't it for children against friends. well this is a group that's developed in a way that we didn't think it would we all thought that spain and portugal would run away with that they they started off against each other they drew three three and you know. we never expected iran to go and win a game they want to get small rock that they scored in the fourth minute of added on time in that game against morocco now you may have thought at that point that that's a fluke they defended and they need to go on the break but they actually performed extremely well in the next game against spain it was a credible performance that felt sad i mean i think they haven't luck to be proud of and even today they have something to play for and they've got

a right to play for it. what kallis carries done with the team he's really organized and so he's worked a lot in that defense for very very long time just focused on that make sure that they were solid but the block was solid and they defended well and they were hard to beat and then the second part of that sort of development and this is where you know what time comes short is the other half are you trying to score goals and here maybe it's been it's been a little bit questionable saddles moon moon who plays for a routine concern who is the big star who is the one guy that you know when you look at around that's a player that you all keep in an eye and eye and that's that's what we've been told this is what you hear when you travel around russia this guy he is something to look forward to to to when he plays but starved of service in the extension of homes has not happened for him and today is is you know today is an opportunity today is the opportunity in fact because if they don't win they're out simple as.

you talked about stop. players and you've said this before spain is absolutely packed with them despite that they still need something from their game against morocco so certainly they will there will be no second string from spain although you said this before that would still be an extremely good team in this competition i think very surprised if it's second string people very surprised if there's a lot of changes now one thing you have to do is to make sure you get to the next stage of this tournament and if you have to play the same players in every game well that's what you have to do now spain had all the chop and fortunately for them it's all gone away look it's a goal was to get was sacked before two days before the first game the game against portugal and they've gone about the job they had the three three draw with the win over over morocco so they've they've they've done some of that job the kind that kept all the criticism that they were facing quiet and the players. it's

a fantastic bunch and i repeat what i've said. spain man for man for me is the strongest squad in this at this championship but today they have to go and prove it and no matter how how great you think that your squad is you stay with what is work if you if you if you want to make sure that you can get the best result because experiment again this state could really cause you spain loses this game if they lose. and iran wins over portugal. then spain are out yeah and let's not let anybody made a mistake of thinking morocco or any fools because they have the best of both of the games they lost one nil twice but they were kind of mugged at the end by iran and they really boss the second half against portugal so this is a very competitive team and it got some fantastic fans in fact fans of both sides are going to be putting on

a show tonight we've seen and singing and dancing around the streets this is how it looked. i don't. know you know. oh no. i'm not i don't i'm not i'm absolutely us the easiest not i'm not looking across the room on the lot. but it's so good to see all these fans and just having a great time and i was expecting a lot of things fans on the streets of moscow today. when i hear the planes or more of them might be flying in some are not i don't know but usually went in my place out it's. it's red that's why it's they need steinem i know and you hear it all the time but. i see nobody every time i see a red shirt it's only that it's spain approved supergroup by the way still you yeah

but it's great the fans are having a fantastic time there and we kind of feeling that we're part of it because we can hear it the concert that's going on the stage down here it's playing every hour the fans what they're saying it's just absolutely fantastic all the fans been fantastic and that there is your cue danish fans if you're out there watching him outside four seasons hotel show is what you made of show a bit of that danish pride for the big game against france as well as looking forward to that tomorrow of course we'll be speaking a lot more about the group the action coming up nine pm kickoff our time here in moscow so much to talk about don't miss out join us next hour.

usually when we have brought about a situation within the conflict. we be in the me or the three decides to go cia the first people to rush into the u.a.e. do their departure and as soon as we depart before says suddenly is delayed so as to the budget. still seems wrong. why don't we all just don't all. get to see palin this day become educated and engaged because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

again from the anti new center column by with some of the other headline stories that were across for you this monday and e.u. leaders appear to be struggling to hammer out a joint strategy for dealing with immigration to the block on sunday there was a hastily convened sixteen nation mini summit aimed at tackling the issue but rather than producing any concrete solutions it actually served to underscore existing divisions. well. we are putting forth a completely new proposal that aims to overcome the dublin regulations we want to tackle the problem in a structural way public opinion is asking for this. this we know that add the european council unfortunately we will not yet get

a comprehensive solution to the migration problem and that is why by or trilateral agreements are mutually beneficial so if you get a fast on this issue france will take no lessons from anyone this year we're the second country taking in the most asylum seekers' the values of europe a respect for human and individual rates everyone agreed. in the need to have a european commission. a common responsibility to the common challenge our next on a quarter examines the points of contention that are currently fueling the animosity between some e.u. members right now. europe is very divided over the migration crisis and any agreements that are made between the member states are bound to be met with contradiction of the czech republic slovakia and poland they outright refused to attend today's summit they said it was a power move by merkel to control their domestic political situation and then you

have other countries that are refusing to take in migrants outright italy last week refused a migrant vessel that was forced to land in spain while just a couple days ago malta also refused another migrant vessel and you know these actions they're not going on notice to two e.u. leaders like emanuel macron i'm in favor of having mechanisms that take this into account we're going to have gum trees that massively benefit from e.u. so the dead sea and who massively claimed their national selfishness when it comes to the topic of migration now at the conclusion of the summit merkel said the e.u. needs to focus on their agreement with turkey as a framework for agreements with other migrant origin countries but let's not forget how much this cost the e.u. that was three billion euros this sternly still a lot at stake for merkel because she actually just had a political standoff with her internal minister he wanted to turn away migrants at the german border even though they had been registered in other e.u.

countries so with the vision apparent across europe it's hard to see how individual agreements between member states and more spending is going to do anything other than drive a wedge deeper within the heart of the e.u. so much of european had thought prosy needed to be put away namely the understanding that all the refugees who wanted to come to europe would get accepted in europe to get a fair or legal procedure and then be distributed across a continent this was absolutely illusory from the outset and this truth now if it comes to being faced even by the german government well actually. if there is not yet a solution inside it's only a tory compromise in political formulae and one will see at the next weekend weather out of thin air so contradictory statements earth something reliable will emerge. well that's all we got time for that's it for me to do it today will be here and across all headline stories over the coming hours to down two to go for

today's world cup fixtures and neopagan our correspondents at the stadiums have you covered the next few hours as well the next update is in thirty two minutes from a column by there were a few watching thanks for checking in with r.t. . argentina venezuela they are mad about that point because they're commies are in freefall those are peripheral currencies when you have a major currency like the dollar the yen the euro the panel and enter a similar crisis which i believe will happen you'll have then adoption rate in those countries wall spike as well as a psuedo store of value as a way to preserve wealth because the banking system is completely unsustainable

they will not exist as we understand it in ten years time it will not exist central banks are an endangered species. when lawmakers manufactured sentenced to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean. really.

not going to jean month at botany and you had just made my school. a month at botany one can. decide about the macand the how about a month at. the pub and we know. more about my macand i don't look the piece up i doubt that the head you've got a month bought the. side of what wasn't used to be done with love. and we can all agree there's a way out of love and out. the windows. of the day.
