it's midnight here in moscow watching all to international live from last year with mean a day or two to welcome to the program day twelve of the world cup. drama spain and portugal russia and europe why have made it through to the next round. michael and bring you the highlights of the group a games. not the result they were looking for peter salute you know you know it was one of them games it was a free game you could you could try new players you could dress players and it says so of did rest and plays 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 they were down pretty early on it was on ten minutes luis suarez with a free kick it is a clever little side i have to say that he just finds an exploit every little

weakness in the defense with a goalkeeper but the second goal obviously comfort it's now been given as an own goal against jerusha we thought it was and 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 can fade no chance very bad start to kneel down and things would get worse thirty six minutes small because he said came in given his big will cut chance at right back and he blew it two yellow cards and off in the first half and when we show the third goal to kill bonny go they were shouting at us see it is still chanting so they're not you know that they're pretty pragmatic they understand that three when there's still plenty to celebrate two teams you haven't got too much at forty now because they both out of the competition saudi arabia and egypt the sad thing is that we we have to say goodbye to players now on and one of those players that we have to say goodbye to is this fellow here mohammed said i didn't play in the first game we had this show louie that he got from the germans the final. play

you played in the second game scored an append here he shows his true class and it's just sad that you know players of that caliber and quality but they're calling home one particular player who was very briefly but extremely brightly and this is the goalkeeper 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. the penalty in this world of time views well you know forty five years of age is that you can't really call him a prospect you know but 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 to the grandkids in the great grandkids very very late into that first half was actually forty five minutes plus six very late into that at his own time there was another person

another penalty and this time. he could not do anything about it and there 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 of it late when it went to saudi arabia. sorry knowing. this game did mean something to people though 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 there was a lot of pride at stake today for these for these people everyone involved with saudi arabia and egypt and whatever came out on top of this also have a little bit of wrestling right in the region and i was just having a flick bank that only have the one two games previously world cup final so it is a significant one for the country and for the fans to not ship another one egyptian ambassador to russia says the world cup has been a great opportunity for fans to enjoy the host nation but this time it's

a very short it's for a few hours but i'm planning a special visit to. to see how we can. we have to be the contacts between the drive gyptian city is one of the things that we have very very blessed is that. the organization for the world cup in russia was a very good opportunity for mood. since to come to see here to enjoy the beauty of hand with the i know how beautifully small schools spring to the good opportunity to see how do these other beautiful places of worship and i'm sure that reflect the very image of rushing people to our friends as well to see. how rich cultural history culture. so as you heard earlier

year plan russia top three pay to reach the last sixteen and in the first knockout round they will face the winners that repeat those are faine and portugal become a thing on the planet x. place but time highlights from the games. playing unfold still play with the big boys of green bay and they have made it through all that it ignite dramatic fashion with some very like twists and turns piece michael is watching it alongside me and we there are lots of issues an asset it's great to see that even after having played at the very highest level in so many competitions. it's been fantastic it's it's you know it's just fantastic football is just showing itself. from its absolute the most perfect. cause of course out before these games will be played in group b. what a performance they gave us today and they kept the excitement in group b. from the very moment the game started and for the very moment that the game between

portugal and iran finished they were a little bit delayed in the second half to go off and six minutes to that as well so though that was about four hundred five minutes of excitement. and the deciding moment was rather ninety minutes will come so that we have we have like goals and it's becoming a regular thing now we should really expect it was ninety minutes is up expect the goals to come early. the election as well though so this is how it all started and it was a surprise lead from morocco. on forty minutes and would you fancy day one a woman oh. that's maybe the hardest one one can have as a goalkeeper where you are a straight on the go because there's no angles it can close down you just have to wait for him to sort through and see what he does you can really sort of show him in the side of open the go off in a way and then of course iniesta of that i mean one of the best players in this

plane's team he got the ball on the left hand side and age is no barrier. performing at a very high certainly the whole run here but that was a fantastic one two one two one three run and he get to the via line here and just a simple fall back to is cool took a cool touch and then threw the ball and kicked the ball up in the top corner and then it was back to the business you're thinking well spain they are now going to just run this game out of one one is a great result for them and maybe even going to one and win the game but rocco had other ideas didn't they and we talked about they say we the weren't going to show up or they were going to arrive and give everything they had and that had had everything behind it from yusef and necessary in the eighty first minute into this point the fans going crazy because they're thinking not only we got our first goals of the competition we've almost got three points in the bag and they were excellent

the game was excellent they've really tried to win this game of football they can go back to morocco now with a lot of pride and they can help hold their heads up high do you think was slightly lucky to be drawn in such a difficult group to get spain and portugal perhaps in another one of the great amount of the lead bats and the loss again to iran that was the very unlucky that they had the best of the way right into when they were sold. they would have thought wait this is quite good because we play around in the first game and we can beat them and get three points then of course we have portugal and in the last game we get spain but if we can get one point after out of those two games we stand the facts chance of going through to the next stage but the last i came to iran it's all about taking the opportunity that that's there and sometimes you play a game and you don't realize how big the chance of winning that game really is and they didn't do that against portugal but they did it today they did really well and

of course kind of summed up the campaign i think that spain got an equaliser in injury time it was some go from the aga especially with the cutest flick and i kind of i think you know i'm slick the significance of that is at the very very same time as the goal went in. the three to equalize as you see here at the very same time that out of those two that go straight through at the very sign in the other case that's a penalty claim also cost of eight and that's iran so we're waiting on both for the referee to come back at the pitch to make a decision now if he doesn't give this goal and it gives a penalty in the pinto to to iran in in the portugal game and iran's close spain are out yeah it was it was very late drama as it happened spain gaining a goal and portugal conceding one simple taney stay what it did was it reversed the

standings in the table so it meant that spain went to the local it was the round getting a go on yes i don't know what's going to unseating it yet it turned round first the second place in the table so let's in one second the whole thing turned upside down fans of planning the you know the trip to sochi and oversight in the funniness of having to. rock all the loose nikkei here in the qualifying takes. so let's see. what happened in this round again because i said it was like drama there as well it was going to plan wasn't it lays in the first stuff or with one of the best schools goes goes and in the tournament was a was a that the cole scored in the fifty five forty fifth's minutes plus he was in so we can very late into the to the forty five minutes of this is the card. and that is that it's just a beauty corner. i have to say i think i think it's safe to say

that iran was a better team in that game they were there was a small intend they wanted to win and they wanted to play the game more. and that the big guy rebel there was a bit quiet in that half he started off very well as we were we were here in the beginning of the game talking about he had a really big chance that he missed and it carried on for him because we've seen the video messiness of tenancy we say oh the big players never missed these but today christian or another as was the talk about he's desperate to stroll the same route down in south not the fall moment maybe this explains why we're getting seventy minutes of injury time because of all the follow in an awful lot of things that so after three and a half minutes of discussing and giving yellow cards and the referee not handling the situation very well. the steps up and you know the goalkeeper saves it and

we've seen that as well and that that misses will it's significant for now though because that would have put him next to harry kane in the golden boot competition and that is what he goes for on a personal level he's not made no secret of that but he wants to win. well this game today was it was attacking you very valley seeing this bat so you had the chance in the first he misses pendency and then it went to another moment. he gets a good look out of it which he was quite happy with he's smiling and laughing when he gets a yellow card. he gives he actually gives an elbow in the face of iran and . it's one of the you can say yes it's on purpose but you could also make a case of it not being on purpose he's not that kind of player so i think that speaks to his advantage but the thing is once it goes too far and the referee decides that that's an elbow to the face there's only one solution to that and

that's why you had a very but it gives him again this these guys down below if they just don't give up and some of the fans why would she when you come to such an amazing legs just come here and see your country play check this. i mean one with a championship held in the biggest country in the planet and you're

a farmer he hitched a ride with a fan driving to every venue. so he's one of the main five cities for this welcome i hated even to meet a very keen football fan site seen in fact he started to drive between all eleven high cities and this will come this night and briefly into the civil rights are based here in rome. how many days on the right go if his thoughts keep trying to be honest it's a time in which you feel slightly makes a motion so i can tell it is a fairly obvious one but i don't have a great selection of music that's my main problem of a notify the sixty to use case it's a very different sort of atmosphere really i like being on my own sometimes it's hard to think but there's a limit to how much i can be on my own basically i.e.

i stay with friends when i can have a few friends and we should be no good at being moscow and here in sochi and occasionally a motel by the side of the road they're actually very good very cheap very efficient twenty four hour food why five boats all you will spend probably half the nights in the car just recline the front seats and hope nobody dystocia say i'm too emotionally attached to a car i already loved it but now it's just it's something that is it's kept a roof over my head literally so i don't think i could combat support of it anymore i started a good catcher and drove to catch him but then some are volgograd. stealth crosses two days ago and now so if i said seaside fall six to go i'm going to try. to get my best but will come in the country where i'm living i just could have missed the opportunity to do something different on

a full well i'm never going to visit all eleven cities again didn't want to go to the next part is the most difficult i'll be doing some moderate for russia again it's your call you have to somalia that moscow moscow kaliningrad i'll have to draw a few if you idea i'm laughing just to get that. but yes the most ambitious and older way practical just in time for the north and going. off that are the last two weeks will be a bit. and you know like petersburg some forwards think of a good word believe it but i didn't estimate i'd really think about six hundred times but will cover my fire truck which punches full for the whole month. it is a pro and off the course of the patrol back home is five kilometers maybe not on foot below this sixteen thousand nine hundred ninety five i think you might need it i think you will be one of the best it's been great thank you very much there for a. site that sochi itself the stuff you really does typify does media

enthusiasm and the madness of fans at least will help andre fama for all to see. plenty more action to come tomorrow when it's the turn of group c. and d. maybe you will pay for really also group c. will see a clash between denmark and wrong. group b. brings my dearie of this is argentina and iceland against croatia. i thought pundit jones a very new gives you the lowdown on the iceland croatia much. i was on the grid if they are playing to qualify in these moments i think ultra competitive match. they both know how to compete. on more tactical on more

physical crew issue with more experience with more control because of the technical ability but i would see being in confrontation two of the big teams of candidates for i would see even top aides this can be a good match. make sure you don't miss any of our special coverage from our spectacular studio in central moscow throughout the fever twenty eighteen world cup. in other news now the struggling to hammer out a joint strategy for immigration on sunday there was a hastily convened sixteen nation mini summit but rather than producing any solutions it actually served to underscore existing divisions.
