welcome back to the special coverage where it's going into extra time after england are drawing one one with croatia which as i bring it was going well for england and then even paris such. i told mogul. i could i could read it. you will have the chance to kill. and then they didn't and they put themselves in a position where. one individual action or one mistake could. bring krisher into the game and in fact i think. in the end in the was lucky of not to lose the game of the ninety minutes and has now

a very good chance to move. to any because in thirty minutes jeez it's hard to believe that creation is going to resist to the intensity that they put in the game but again the mental condition is very very important. story in the changer e is just the first the first picture of. a player's weeds the levels of very very high i was i was looking at him. in the resting period and he was already touching that musical area and it would be very very easy to understand that he was in in these limits is not generally want some other players are in similar conditions change the call for the new rules younger faster fresher. navios option you made the change with a smile because rush for the has two more and in these moments the force substitution can play an important role in fact was in meetings that. the managers

of the champions league teams we had read through a film where started. the movement to get a fourth substitution in extra time because it's very very important also for the health of the players. imagine creation playing a final i don't think story needs to be ready to play and is just the first one so now the fatigue levels are very very important they will affect concentration levels they will affect the style of the play and it's probably a mistake we are. we will give a second winning goal but if not they will go into these dynamic and to reaching the penalties which is the last senior team once used to play a semi final or a final in the side. their lives on a penalty shoot out but sometimes you let it you let it go in these in this

direction and even managers this is the moment where we speak with ourselves we put questions to ourselves and we go into. iraq it teaches that what is the best penalty taker as a manager you keep that or you change him but you lose your best bet not to take a look each is very tired but am i going to lose one of my best players in india aerial challenges where probably the game can be also defined the this is a moment of the lemmas this is a moment where the players on the beach they are getting tired very well and managers they go into these they lemons and sometimes decisions that can be important for four or for the final result. let's have a look back through some some some of the key elements in that second half was to

say even paris said he gave sort of car walker a bit of a warning did a great block from walker of six four minutes he put his body on the line i mean that was a kind of opening salvo that croatia are on the way back here but is it is is a player capable of we do drug drills with the ball in the streets taking people dribbling very fast with a change of speeds like deeds ball that hit the post but is also very good coming in sides and scoring goals on the inside very would india in this case was not to have the bottles they are going on inside and is very good is very poll. will is stronger than walking so he attacking that space there is the opposite sides of. mcguire and from the central defenders of england's the left sides is the one that is more protected. in this kind of situation so bad is it comes in the

inside and scores. a fantastic goal that. that gives them in this moment extra time but gives them the edge there war over when we could perfectly we begin moving into. great cross from of edge there and also that of course they hit the post as you say i mean the been a lack of concentration was there in england defense and england as you say lucky to escape yeah you know when when you are winning and you seeing. the clean sheet gives you the victory you put everything on that if you fail on that then you suffer a little bit to change the cheap you have one cheap we are winning one year we go to the clean sheet if you are successful great amazing the game is in the pocket we are in the final if we don't do it you feel deeply and for the last ten fifteen minutes you could feel that england was

a little bit in trouble so the extra time coming the right moment because it gives you certain minutes to play and then probably the big get back into the stability and england made the search change. not that cleat just again fatigue levels but when you have eric on the bench fresh and you have the sun on the pitch tires you make the change croatia has three more chances to make and probably will have to make it during the game but again he is a moment of the lemmas changes fresh players and by losing to play. am i going to lose good players on the possible penalty shoot out every decision now is a decision that. that the measure of a lot of times before it takes and also if you're thinking about pens is where you get the goalkeeper as well i mean get eight minutes to go pick thirty save some money and you can he's a pretty solid for. you know. credit to the to the to the

coaching staff credit to to. to gary and probably to the real people coach because probably because it was of course the key opinion on on on that was a big decision it was a big decision. played only two seasons in the premier league in one season is really gated in the second season he played for an everton that was not a team with a good season he conceded a lot of balls goes to the national team yes or no decisions will have no then but and all. all all pick for the decide by saying they decide specially because of his personality i would say. of course i don't know him personally and they do i never work we deemed they did and probably that was the reason because he looks very very confident that's what i

call the positive arrogance you know i like a football player to be in the positive way of the world i like him to be arrogant to be to trust himself you can you can see the way you position themselves all the longwalls in depth to the box he's never on the line he's never on the line sometimes i used to say in a funny way as some goalkeepers is that if the bar breaks. they will die because they don't believe that they're going to leave the line. peak for it if they. goes breaks and goes down he doesn't buy he's always five thousand meters in in front he's confident. probably probably is not by the physical point of view the most. beautiful prototype of a goalkeeper is not a two meters goalkeeper he's not a super elegant he's very effective and he has these these great personalities so

credit to the boy of course but credit to gary because i don't think was was an easy decision to make and learn from each other last question just before the final whistle get i can tell that most of the england fans with waiting for that for the fairytale they had the free kick coming in hurricane he heads it wide i mean it's a case of we getting into this situation that included not before with columbia. yand. and maybe an extra penalty shootout is just waiting for them a penalty shootout where croatia was successful twice and we can see a certain time is too much to be successful or we can say after two successful deserve one is going to arrive by the english side traditionally england loses on penalties but they won the last one sole change will be the profile and one of the penalties for poles that they lost was the last world cup semifinal the world

involved but you know. and the second happened. the players that will keep are the technical stuff. to every detail of the penalty shoot outs and they have recent ones they have even the ones that were taken. a few days ago you family will keep it in i'm going to play against harry king i would sink he took sri two to my right sides and one to the middle he's going to take the force to the same side always is going to change and you seen can you see him can you see him can't. what's what's what's your decision you look to the position of his running you look for the position of the left foot not the kitchen should the left one you try to analyze every scene out of the will keep us fresh enough to sink about all these details under the tension of

a semi final world cup penalty shoot outs. i don't know everything you said steak the happiness of countries the pride of the players in the everything is everything is that i've never been a national team and there's a. club level which is champion six semifinals. is not easy it's hard. thank you very much you were talking to you again very soon in the meantime for one back to you guys on the roof in moscow thank you neil and you know very much. you'll say yet we're raw and what one hundred five minutes of the first half of extra time just to blow fifteen more if there's not going to be penalties are this stage just to recap one one between england in the semifinal of the world ok a lot of the game has been discussed let's bring on a few moments that we're seeing video from the seventy first minute this was quite

a quick change in fortunes for england who was coming home until it's equal eyes and then not three four minutes after the goal gratian almost in front of the goal scorer with a lovely little shimmy hits the post people will be their picture and you can see the despair on pretty face that you need almost you know pulled off an amazing turnaround in what i would be in two goals in the space of four minutes instead as it is going into extra time and then. here's a stat i want to throw your way because we talked a lot about from set pieces in that ninety minutes we know they scored. a freekick after just five minutes that was the only shot on goal they had in the ninety minutes that one set piece i'm sure too many people realized on that one goal one hundred percent and it was almost another set pace or another go this is in see the

minutes and it came on one thousand nine minutes at the corner which johnstone's went up brilliant and it was cleared off the line by simmie of the solid well being so they almost scored two goals from their only two shots on target as it is. jordan picked for this just pulled off a pretty impressive say one or more the thing i'm going to come home from corner i don't want to say it but what about p word will it be penalties up the minute fifteen minutes left to go i wouldn't put a pasta part remember creation have played one hundred twenty minutes for the past two games to penalty shoot outs they've won both because they do three in a row i tell you what though when the goals went in a lot of phones in london a lot of fun in zagreb just hoping that might help their team on let's take a look at some of the pictures of celebration when their teams went from. god the

eve of the was i thought i was with was drink your beer people drink your beer don't throw it all over the place even in celebration it's hard for an irishman to see one i don't know what they call that i'm going to give you the name of b. . shower let's go so our correspondents we've got a guest on our face in the fan zone in moscow and also first of all let's go to her nice to se she's in hyde park i believe in london well i suspect there are a lot jangling nerves the nation.

exactly i mean the times square and central london i will tell you something the situation is soft on saturday may match the team's having a very tense night at the moment i would say a very excited fans of the men and girls were cheating cheating and bringing out a yes definitely a if i mean. i think everything is going on in months and that raises a question on the brakes when it's not only foes like having him my friends my age that me coming on. and what you think you think makes of the final magnificently we can see if we have to t.v. i think the next question on everyone's lips is if england see when he gets a bank holiday yes yes oh i love she's so practical always looking for the extra bit of juice to be squeezed out i love it i love yourself back to moscow though we're it's a quarter past eleven here in the russian capital and i suspect igor jodan off but

no one is leaving the phone the fast any time soon. well of course not i mean if anything's happening more people are flocking in here because well it's thirty more minutes or so and football what else could you wish for well of course for football to come home as we've just heard from some fans in london but here just for you to understand the crowd here in london the stage the people who did not get the tickets here in the fan zone are obviously also people who did not get the tickets so really anguish and gratian fans the vosges ball gold those are at the luzhniki stadium of your hundred meters away. from me i hear it's an international crowd people from brazil argentina sweden mexico you know all those who had their a shot at the world cup but world due to various reasons missed but it doesn't mean they're not captivated by the game by the every single second of it one game when england scored its first goal the the fans on rude really and it did seem for

a while that there were more. you know sympathizers to the team led by a hurricane but one croatia equalised well those are wearing checkered jerseys they made their voices heard too so just to sum up the atmosphere here is there are people here who came here out of love of football and then stayed out of love for the country. and i did notice as well the people are keeping their drink in their hands or not through think it over with players as we have seen in other places but that's how we do it in different nations celebrations going to where there we've been talking to one misha set in london and you go off in central moscow before we depart just let you know the runs kickoff for the second half of extra time which want to throw a couple of stats away please forgive me football fans i don't want to say these are omens but let's just say gracious the last two matches in this competition they both ended warm warm at the ninety minutes they both ended up going to penalties

the way she won them both england's record on penalty shoot outs if you think back to an italian ninety since then they've gone out of six major tournaments the euros in the world cup. and we'll see just but you know float that out there i'd be showing the messenger right before we leave this beautiful skyline here in central moscow ali if you want to start no team has ever won the green penalty shoot outs all the points so croatia english fun things i tell you what to hang your hat on see you soon.

quite. a fight for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money just billionaire owners and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance with. the base minute.

welcome back to our moscow h.q. we're going to be keeping a close eye on the football but for now let's bring you up to speed on the latest world news headlines donald trump is visiting nato allies at a summit in brussels and the u.s. president has openly hit out at other member states for not paying up when it comes to defense spending holiday bensky has the details donald trump tweeted that he wants countries in the nato alliance to pay two percent of g.d.p. towards the defense budget narrow immediately he says in his tweet and not by the date that he says is twenty twenty five and he's also in that tweet accused germany again following his tirade on wednesday morning of spending billions paying

billions to russia for a guess pipeline project well that to raid it came from him after we also heard that there were claims by the bulgarian president that trump has also asked allies to increase the contributions not to two percent but up to four percent and washington has previously talked about the fact that if other countries don't pull their weight in washington the usa will actually leave the alliance with the nato secretary general was asked about that increase in the contributions of g.d.p. from two to four percent but he kick the idea into the long grass i think you should first get to two percent. not now. that is what we have agreed that the pledge. and the good thing is that we are. to war start well that tweet by trump came after criticisms he made of germany on

wednesday morning talking about germany not paying its dues and saying that it was captive to russia because of a gas pipeline project this is the nordstrom to project which is due to be completed in twenty nineteen that will see a reliable source of guess transmitted directly from the russian gas fields to germany to provide geddes for central and western europe it's long been a bone of contention for the us in particular trump who see this as empowering russia now he talked about the billions being spent and later the two leaders met germany is a captive over here because they supply the get rid of the car to get rid of the. big exam much of the world with us from russia i think is something they are still ok i think it's very inappropriate. of the others to russia and we have to defend them against russia explain to. us you.

were able to set policy and make our own decisions and that's very good following that meeting though donald trump changed his tune and said that relations between germany and the usa were great and they look forward to working together in the future there was also a joint declaration issued at the need to summit by the joint heads of state and government a lot contained in there in regards to russia where the need to lead is have accused russia of aggressive actions which they say undermine international order and they also said that nato would continue to respond to the change security environment as are. result of that aggression by an hunt seemed to terence and defense posture towards a forward presence in its eastern allies countries so essentially on the border areas russia and it said that need to doesn't seek confrontation with russia while

on the other hand talked about the enhanced meant of its capabilities and its rapid response force which it says would be able to be deployed within thirty days or less much more to discuss this nato meeting as leaders head into talks this evening and it continues on thursday. day now on the world cup semifinal in moscow bad news for england fans as croatia have taken the lead through mario monti kitchen extra time that's in about ten minutes left in the game so all hope is not lost for those england fans but we'll keep you posted on any developments from that luzhniki stadium so do stay tuned for that. one nato leaders lock horns over funding the military alliance britain's that is demonstrating his commitment by boosting its presence in afghanistan prime minister to reason may is sending hundreds of non-combat troops in the biggest military commitment in over a decade we lead by example not only by me in the nato targets of spending two

percent of our g.d.p. on defense but also twenty percent of our defense budget on equipment and in the way in which we deploy thousands of forces personnel on the operations around the world if they're announcing today that we will be deploying an additional four hundred forty first now should they chose receives the mission in afghanistan i think that shows when those calls you case one of the first two are just a part certainly the timing of this announcement is quite curious there we have donald trump saying he's making it clear he wants nato allies to really step it up and here we have the u.k. pretty much almost immediately appeasing him by not just saying here we are one of the few countries contributing two percent of our g. . nato but also we're going to provide some troops well the question there is whether it's nato calling or donald trump calling because we have to understand that this is the first time in the years that the u.k. is making such a contribution indeed the number is being talked about is four hundred forty

non-combat troops which will bring the total number of u.k. troops in afghanistan to eleven hundred and it's also has to be clear that this is the biggest commitment to the u.k. is stepping into in the years since previous british prime minister david cameron withdrew u.k. troops from the ground after thirteen years of presence leaving just four hundred fifty troops in a training role and then adding some since that happened well all of this taken into account this announcement could be seen as part of the welcome mat being rolled out for the u.s. president as he visits the u.k. later on this week quite amid some of the controversy of course with having taken place ahead of his visit and of course the british public indeed expected to continue demonstrating when he is here in the u.k. . with midterm elections in the u.s. for november some are suggesting that the fate of humanity itself hinges on the outcome can have more pain looks at the latest efforts to galvanize voters the

upcoming midterm congressional elections are certainly a crucial political of that but there's way more to it than you think according to nancy pelosi the minority leader on capitol hill civilization as we know today is a truce can this election we have to win we have to win civilization at risk goodness that sounds quite serious now she's not the only one to think that the upcoming elections are an existential importance and no less if you one of these folks is watching cable news you cocktail parties with your friends and you sitting civilization is collapsing and you're nervous and worried but that is not where you personally are time energy and money than either you don't actually think civilization is collapsing we're not. hard enough and i would push harder the time for dad news is over it is cancer midterms are america's last chance at remission register to vote we can beat these disease now filmmaker michael moore is urging

the liberal rank and file to seize the moment what are we willing to commit to what would you give your life for what would you be willing to do to actually put yourself on the line for that moment is now we are going to lose our democracy if we haven't already we have no choice my friends we all have to rise up so is the future of human civilization really at risk at the november polling place we decided to ask people here in new york city i would say possibly the fate of american civilization at stake i think so. civilization is well i don't know i think it's a little over the top now not at all they were said kim jong un was going to blow up the world a couple i don't know how many months ago there are hyper ventilating they do this all the time why would nancy pelosi say that. now it's hard to tell if ordinary americans are is fired up as their t.v. screens and political leaders would like them to be let's not forget that the vote

is still months away and the hysteria will probably escalate and pick up steam cable mop and r.t. new york. cut today for you before we go we have five minutes remaining of extra time edition of q. stadium in a croatia england game is currently croatia to england won for now at the window will play fronts in the final on sunday we'll bring you all the action and analysis oft at this so right. twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure to come out you have to communicate the center of the football with you and we'll show the all the great the great the good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to
