rice and one of the players who could play there we spoke to today and that's chelsea midfielder conor gallagherwhat he thinks he could bring to the team. i'll always give my best for the team on and off the ball. i work as hard as possible. i'm a good team player, but yeah, i'm willing to do whatever the manager wants me to do. if it's starting a game, if it's coming off from the bench, if it's watching from the crowd, i'll be i'll be happy and do the bestjob i can. now thatjohn stones is back in training, that leaves just two players who have slight fitness doubts over them in luke shaw and bukayo saka. but there are still a couple of days before gareth southgate has to name his first starting 11 for the game against serbia in gelsenkirchen on sunday. the 2016 champions portugal have arrived in germany, ahead of their opener against the czech republic on tuesday. captain cristiano ronaldo and the rest of the squad was greeted by hundreds of fans at their team hotel in marienfeld. this will be ronaldo's sixth euros — and at the age of 39, he's still in fantastic form, scoring 10 goals in their

so we've got foden still starting and we've got trent alexander—arnold swapped out for conor gallagherafter half time in the last two matches. what do we think of that? because this whole foden starting thing has proved a bit controversial. >> sam, it's not him starting, it's in the position he's been playing and of course that's right. he's he's not out wide left. he's not preferred out wide left at man city. he's player of the season at man city. scored 20 goals playing in one. and he would go very well in my opinion with bellingham. but obviously gareth has this this particular system that he's stuck to no matter what, which is two city midfield players and of course that restricts who plays in that, in that position in the old who plays a the floater position number 10. and obviously jude bellingham has that position at the minute. i am disappointed in the selection i must say, but i am hopeful that that won't matter, that the performance will pick up and the players will play to their best and then the system won't really matter that much if all the players play much better than t

and as you mentioned earlier, the trent alexander arland experiment in midfield may be over, conor gallagherecond half, and there is kobbie mainoo from manchester united who won the fa cup and one of the breakthrough stars in adam wharton, natural midfielders, and gareth southgate would have to think about bringing those players into the team if they are to get the best out of england's deep attacking talent. thank you, alex howell bringing us the latest from the england camp and have that much next tuesday, their final game. looking at the past couple of tournaments, england, have hardly lit up the group stages, they were booed off after a goalless draw against scotland at the last euros , but found another gear in the knockout stages and reached the final, the same at the world cup in qatar. 0—0 against the usa, before they went out in the quarterfinals against a very good french side. andy swiss is in frankfurt where they drew with denmark last night. andy, lots of england finds still there, no doubt, i have alsojust said they have been slow start of the tournaments, are the england finds

meanwhile, conor gallagher says defeat in their final warm—up game to iceland last weekend was a realall for the whole squad to make sure they start well in germany. in tournament football, just during the first thing as well as you can, even if it's the right pass or winning your tackle, win your headers, the second ball, it's just the basics to give the whole team confidence to go and win that first game. and with the iceland game, i think, although it wasn't a good result and not the best performance, i think, in a way, it could be good that it happened, i think. i think it was a bit of a wake—up call for us that, you know, it's not easy to win games against any country. we're about half an hour into a crunch game for england at the t20 world cup. they need a big win over oman to stay in the competition. england won the toss and chose to field first in antigua, and it looks to have been a good decision. oman are 25—5 off six overs. joffra archer and mark wood with two wickets apiece. another wicket falling in the past few minutes withjos buttler getting the stopping. bangladesh too

defensive | game was a change in the defensive midfield, the manchester united midfielder came in for conor gallagher has also come on as a substitute for england to try and revitalise their attacking options. also anthony gordon who is a quick and pacey winger for them there, and ollie watkins who is an aston villa striker, he was a front man and a slightly different option to harry kane, more pacing and quick. england though, with less then 15 minutes to go, it is slovakia on the ball at the moment and england have got to find a solution here because gareth southgate i think and be pretty sure there will be a lot call for his position if they go on to lose this match. . ~' , ., , position if they go on to lose this match. . ~ ,, , . position if they go on to lose this match. ., ~ ,, , .

who should be playing, the tactics, and we are expecting gareth southgate to make one change, conor gallagher see how it plays out when it kicks off at apm tonight. all the talking. full but it will be in some ways about the performance as much as the results. the conservative party has withdrawn support from two candidates being looked into by the gambling commission as part of the investigation into bets placed on the timing of the general election. the gambling commission is looking into the actions of craig williams — who was a close aide to rishi sunak — and laura saunders. both have denied wrongdoing. let's get the very latest from our political correspondent, sean curran. talk us through exactly what this means, because this has been a black cloud hanging over the conservatives for a week now and it continues. yes, rishi sunak has been under intense pressure every time he has done a media interview, regardless of what he wanted to talk about, he has faced questions about his handling of this row. up until now, the prime minister always insisted that he could not do anything that might

not playing in midfield and then he replaced him for the third group game against slovenia with conor gallagher i think the expectation is that the 19—year—old will start in this field for this match not least because he came on at half—time in place of gallagher against slovenia and he made a real difference in equality for england so i think the expectation is that he will start in midfield. as you say, not some other suggestions as well particularly for power mad because he also came on in the second half against slovenia and he will improve england. he made a big dip and so could he get place in the starting 11? southgate has so far resisted demands for wholesale change. but one thing is for sure, the fans out here in germany would love to see a slightly more positive approach from england. the word boring has been bandied around by the fans an awful lot over the past couple of weeks, i can tell you now. earlier on today i spoke to the former england international and he told me how he thinks england should play. told me how he thinks england should -la . told me how he thinks england shoul

he started with trent alexander—arnold and then dropped him and conor gallagher came in and then it'ssed and calls potentially for him to start. there's been this reluctance, though, for gareth southgate to make too many changes, and i guess this is where the slight division is coming amongst the england supporters. those who feel that gareth southgate should be trusted with his approach. when you consider that he's been so successful in steering england to the latter stages of major tournaments previously, but those who say there needs to be greater change, england needs to be playing better, the performances need to be better, and the way that that can be brought about is by a change in in personnel from the start. so it'll be interesting to see whether or not that happens. and if he does, i suppose some of those supporters will be will feel appeased somewhat because the performance is so farjust haven't quite been there, despite the fact that the results have obviously ensured that england have got out of the group as they have done. india have ended their thirteen—year wait for a

the tournament , behind for the first time in the tournament, kobbie mainoo started in place of conor gallagher in the only change to gareth southgate's starting 11, but england are now down to ten players due to injury and with a place against switzerland at stake, gareth southgate's side were huge favourites to advance before kick off. those are the latest headlines for now, i'm sam francis and i'll be back with your next update at 7:00 for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> the world wide threat to freedom comes not just from the globalists of the world economic forum and their ilk, and their puppets squatting on top of the pyramid. those determined to rule, to take and keep control of what everyone is doing, to run the world, inevitably apply the tactics and make the moves we see around us bad faith individuals. bad actors do bad things. we know this or we should by now more insidious than the agendas being pushed down onto our heads from above are the many and

meanwhile, conor gallagher says defeat in their final warm—up game to iceland last weekend was a real happened, i think. i think it was a bit of a wake—up call for us that, you know, it's not easy to win games against any country. to golf, and rory mcilroy has made a strong start to the us open at pinehurst in north carolina, as he seeks his first major title in ten years. playing alongside the world number one scottie scheffler and pga championship winner xander schauffele, mcilroy has picked up three birdies. he's still on the course, two shots behind the leader to finish 5—under—par. to an opening round of 65. patrick cantlay, who birdied three of his last five holes to finish 5—under—par. emma raducanu has breezed into the quarterfinals of the nottingham open as she continues her preparations for wimbledon. she made light work of ukrainian daria snigur, dropping just four games in a 6—2, 6—2 victory. that's back—to—back wins for raducanu for the third time this year. but cameron norrie is out after a shock defeat in the second round by fellow briton jack pinnington jones. norrie o

is a chance for gareth southgate to give the substitute chance, anthony gordon, cole palmer, conor gallaghereached its climax. the defending champions got an equaliser against croatia with almost the last kick of the game in the 98th minute in leipzig, a goal that sent them through to the knockout stages and all—but knocked croatia out. mattia zaccagni was italy�*s hero. spain were already through before their final game against albania but completed a perfect group stage with a 1—0 win in dusseldorf. they aren�*t the first team to find it tough against the second—lowest ranked nation at euro 2024, but the 13th minute winner from ferran torres was enough to send albania out and give spain three wins out of three so far. spain�*s result doesn�*tjust mean that england go through. france and the netherlands have also qualified for the last 16. where those teams finish in their group though will be determined in this afternoon�*s games. group d is the first to be concluded. france are playing poland, who are definitely out, in dortmund, with kylian mbappe potentially returning to the team after

that's been a problem and it looks like conor gallagher is now going to come in in his place tomorrowybe the criticism should be more against gareth southgate and the tactics and the selection as far as the starting 11 is concerned. >> but it was all on kane. i think kane handled it as we just heard relatively well. >> he was respectful towards lineker, but he made his point and there was that little dig, wasn't there at the end, that it's not just this generation that haven't won anything. >> if you go back to lineker's generation, they didn't win a major tournament either , major tournament either, although you of course very kindly paraphrased using the correct grammar of course, he said, haven't won nothing, which would mean that they've won lots of things. >> but should we go back to that? all right, smarty pants . i that? all right, smarty pants. i love a double negative, but. but clearly, clearly england is not performing, perhaps in the way that we would like to see. what do they need to do? what does england need to change in order to having a shot at actually finally winning

we need to see conor gallagher come into midfield and add some energy and dynamism .ey've still got to sort out the left back situation. hopefully going forwards. luke shaw can be fit forwards. luke shaw can be fit for the business end of the tournament and we need to see the best out of phil foden as well. but ultimately what england fans want is not just a win but a performance that shows why england, before this tournament began , were billed as tournament began, were billed as one of the favourites. >> is harry kane slower than my toyota prius? >> no, i think that's unfair. what you have to note about harry kane is he lulls you into a false sense of security. sometimes he's not involved, sometimes he doesn't have that many touches, but usually when he gets a big chance, he puts it away. this isn't a problem with harry kane. this is about balance. and down the left hand side, it's been a problem . and side, it's been a problem. and in central midfield, as good as jude bellingham is behind him , jude bellingham is behind him, the trent alexander—arnold experiment si

we understand that kobbie mainoo starts in place of conor gallagher.gareth southgate's starting 11 and with a place against switzerland at stake, england captain harry kane told the pre—match press conference earlier that he's confident the players are going into the knockout stage in top form , and knockout stage in top form, and we'll keep across the scores for you throughout the evening here on gb news those are the latest headunes on gb news those are the latest headlines for now. i'm sam francis , more in half an hour francis, more in half an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone , sign direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com >> forward slash alerts . >> forward slash alerts. >> forward slash alerts. >> this is gb news good afternoon. it'sjust >> this is gb news good afternoon. it's just coming up to 36 minutes. i'm just making it up now. six minutes after 5:00 i'm nana akua. we're live on tv, online and on digital radio. and in the next hour, me and my panel will be takin

conor gallagher the chelsea midfielder, is expected to come in. back with the squad as well so we wait and see who is at left back there, but that's been a little bit of a problem so far. been a little bit of a problem so fan and then phil foden still likely to start , even still likely to start, even though we haven't seen him shine in the same way that he has done for manchester city so far this season. so it's a test for gareth southgate not only to win the game, but who's he going to stick with and what is he prepared to change to try and get the best out of this england squad? >>a squad? >> a huge test, it'll be fascinating to watch, but for now. ben jacobs, sport journalist thank you very much for joining us live from cologne. >> yes, keeping everything crossed , we should win it. we crossed, we should win it. we should win it. don't want to go up against germany this soon. do we? >> no, no. although, i'm in the privileged position of presenting a show on gb news at 8:00, so i'll have to watch on an hour delay, so no one tell me what's happe

it's just that england didn't do too well against them, trent alexander—arnold was left out for conor gallagherhe came off at half time, then tried something else, then jude bellingham, he wasn't that great either. kobbie mainoo, manchester united came on. he looked better. he he he lit it up . lit it up. >> mainoo. when he came on, he had some ideas about penetrating that slovenia defence and he's an exciting player. >> he is. and there were , there >> he is. and there were, there were signs again substitutions, lots of substitutions. they don't really know who the best side is at the moment. we just really don't know. but gareth southgate, as he went out to thank the fans see this is not good.i thank the fans see this is not good. i mean yes i always i've always said this, fans have the right to boo when you go, oh, it's not right because it's not good for the, you know, you pay money to go and see it and if you don't get entertained you've got the right. but things started throwing empty, empty glass or empty plastic glasses were sent over , thrown over were sent over, thrown over towards, g

i thought conor gallagher did well and jarrod bowen did well.ints early will allow carers to make some changes in the second and third game which gives players opportunities to soak up the atmosphere and experience of playing in the euros because some of our lads are very young so it will set us up nicely for the knockout stages and hopefully some players have been on the pitch for a couple of minutes and will be ready for the knockout stages. and will be ready for the knockout staues. ., , , and will be ready for the knockout staues. .,, , ., ~ ., i. and will be ready for the knockout staues. , ., ~ ., ., ., stages. hopefully talk to you again after the denmark _ stages. hopefully talk to you again after the denmark match, - stages. hopefully talk to you again after the denmark match, another| after the denmark match, another victory. the election campaign continues today. the conservatives are claiming that labour�*s energy policy — and its proposed ban on new licences on oil and gas in the north sea — will cost billions in lost tax. labour sa

stones who was missing yesterday with illness so a boost to gareth southgate's plans meanwhile conor gallaghere plan. i think they should go out there and say they are going to dominate this. because you are going to have to do that. they have got the best players in the best talent in terms of the bowling and the batting. hopefully you get a massive win over the next game and all of a sudden your confidence is flying and whatever happens happens, you cannot do anything about that. and there's a new flintoff in town — rocky, son of former england captain andrew, has signed his first professional contract with lancashire. the batter made his debut for the club's second eleven in april, just two days after his 16th birthday. he made a half—century in his second game and followed up with a century in the next. he's also been called up to england under—i9 squad. emma raducanu has breezed into the quarter—finals of the nottingham open, as she continues her preparations for wimbledon. she made light work of ukrainian daria snigur, dropping just four games in a 6—2 6—2 victory. that's back—to—back wi
