another world —famous player who won't be there, gareth bale.ight it will be settled here in dublin. the republic of ireland actually are the play—off experts. this is their eighth play—off. denmark the opponents tonight. it's a great opportunity to qualify, but beyond this game, what will the world cup be like? if we got the world cup, i couldn't care less who's there, i have to be honest with you about that one. i really couldn't care less. but i think, from a neutral‘s perspective, i think you do want to see the big nations. you do want to see holland there. you want to see the best players, the gareth bales, alexis sanchezes. you want to see them playing on the world scene because the world cup, when i was a boy growing up, it was everything. qualification is a competition not a certainty and while italy suffers, witness what it meant to sweden to get through. well if the irish players try something similar this evening i think i'm a safe distance from the stadium. 0—0 after the first leg, any win would do for the republic of ireland to go t

playing in their first game since missing out on the world cup play offs, but a trip to paris without gareth baleroved a step up too far as they were beaten 2—0 by france. nick parrott was watching this one for us. a month after their world cup dreams endedin a month after their world cup dreams ended in a nightmare, wales came to paris looking for a pick me up. the result against france boasting a strong attacking side, it would be some achievement. unsurprisingly wales were on the back foot for much of the match. the pace and touch taught them to pieces, but wayne hennessy kept them out. that should have boosted the crystal palace‘s goalkeeper‘s confidence, but he slipped up. while france boasted flair, wales relied on experience. their second most capped player making his 80 appearance. but the defender has yet to score for his country. he was sharper in his own penalty area, denying what could have been a second call. wales weren't helping themselves at times, but olivier giroud couldn't take advantage of their assistance. with advantage of their assistance. with a more conventional buildup t

and the world cup, which will not feature robert or gareth bale or alexis sanchez, will have in christianst talented players in europe. the world cup may well benefit from his presence and denmark may feel their superior technique and skill won the day, and won the tie. if they feel they deserve to be in the world cup, i think they are properly right. —— probably right. so there are nowjust two spots left for next year's world cup. one of those will go to either australia or honduras on wednesday. they played out a goalless draw in the first leg, so it is a winner—takes—all in sydney. and the match won't be without controversy, after the honduras coach accused the australians of spying on their training session. austin halewood has the details. espionage has arrived in football. the thoughts of a furious pinto, the honduras head coach, as he accused australia of using a drone to spy on his side's reparations for the vital second leg. translation: the incident where the drome was embarrassing for such an advanced country —— with the drone. what a shame. when australia came to ponder as the

it was the fourth round of the copa del rey, and real madrid had gareth bale to thank, as they avoided at the hands of fuenlabrada. the welsh forward set up both goals for the reigning european champions, who were unable to beat the third—tier side, drawing 2—2, although it did mean they manage to go through 4—2 on aggregate. no such luck for malaga, though, who were knocked out by second—division numancia, after being held to a 1—1 draw at home. and there was a shock result in italy, as well. in the coppa italia fourth round, serie a side cagliari lost 2—1 to pordenone calcio, a team two leagues below them. sampdoria had no such trouble. they beat pescara 4—1. the republic of ireland put on a defensive masterclass to hold off reigning european champions, the netherlands, 0—0 in their women's world cup qualifying group. elsewhere, england scored four goals in 12 minutes as they thrashed kazakhstan 5—0, to maintain their perfect start to the qualifiers, while spain have made it a perfect four out of four with a 4—0 thumping of austria. golf now, and tiger woods has spoken to the media a

gareth bale is expected to return to action later on tuesday after two months out.ey on tuesday, but zinedine zidane has pleaded for patience with the welshman's fitness. bale's four—year spell in the spanish capital has been dogged by injuries. in the past year, as he has completed 90 minutes just four times. next stop adelaide. the england cricket squad are due to arrive there shortly ahead of the second ashes test against australia. former england captain michael vaughan has warned the wheels are in danger of coming off england's ashes tour if they don't win the second test at the adelaide oval. that match, which starts on saturday, will be the first ashes day—night test played under floodlights and with a pink ball. now, in case you missed it, milan are now looking for a new manager. the club sacked vincenzo montella on monday. the club are seventh in serie a, 18 behind leaders napoli, with just two league victories in their past nine games. on sunday, they drew 0—0 with torino at home. gennaro gattuso, former milan midfielder, has been put in temporary charge.

coleman has named gareth bale in the wales squad for those games.layed since he suffered a calf injury playing for real madrid at the end of september and he missed wales‘s last two world cup qualifiers. three more english clubs are in champions league action this evening. manchester city will reach the knock—out stages if they avoid defeat against the italian side napoli; tottenham take on real madrid at wembley knowing a win would see them through, and liverpool sit top of their group ahead of their game against maribor. they won the away fixture 7—0 a fortnight ago — butjurgen klopp says that counts for nothing tonight. i've had too many football games in my life to feel relaxed or whatever before a game like this. it's the champions league, they deserve to be there and we deserve to be there, and we decide with our performance whether we deserve to stay in the champions league. it's all we are thinking about. england cricket coach trevor bayliss says the players have agreed sensible rules for drinking on the ashes tour of australia but there wil

will be without a number of key players for their friendly in france — including real madrid's gareth balece failing to make the world cup play—offs last month. manager chris coleman hasn't decided whether he'll stay in charge beyond the end of his current contract. but, he's not going to let that affect how the team prepares. i wouldn't dare take my food of the gas, because they deserve everything they've got, and they always give me everything they've got. it is business as usual for me. i don't see it as an end to anything. even so, the players we've got, the group of players we've got, these boys will go on, with me or without me, they will go on and i believe they will achieve. england's hopes of regaining the women's ashes hang in the balance, after a closely fought second day of their test against australia. england trail the series on points and realistically, they need a win to keep their hopes alive. but, aussie's ellyse perry has been causing england some problems, as andy swiss reports from sydney. after australia's first day fightback, england set out in search of some useful
