star player cristiana rinaldo scored all four of portugal's goals so far at the twenty eighteen world cup his efforts put him join second in the golden boot table with only england's harry kane having scored more we spoke to the creators of a documentary film dedicated to the portuguese legend to find out what it was like meeting ronaldo. it was so much better than the video. cameras of us but in a world. i. mean some people. assume there are lots of don't like him and there are lots of people who absolutely adore him and so that stuff makes for an interesting subject and when we did meet we were. surprise you know he's very small he's very particular and he's a good talker he knows people. like him very aware that he music he projects he plays to it enjoys his life you know the bad guy wrestler doesn't mind playing that role he's quite sort of uses him that people feel that way because i think he feels like that's you know that the run out of that you see that goes out into the pitch and strong so you know it's not really who he is the film is more than just about him it's actually i

portugal star player cristiana rinaldo seemed upbeat in training ahead of the decisive game against uruguayand even showed off some dominating skills meanwhile here are some numbers from the first half from last football party on a. some teams and their fans have of course started to the long trek home but not before capturing their experiences and photos and videos taken around russia. to compile some of the best of these and you can check out all fans i view project online at r.t. dot com. i. love i. love little. i i. began life. i. making their presence ever more colorful mexicans have been celebrating the day of the dead in the family center of moscow. you. could be forgiven for thinking to see this something. but actually this is one of the good with mexico love the cold celebrate the truck was virtually cut with their dead relatives now the birds of this summer a body goes back to the pre-christian period in mexico but it's usually a good number how about this much of the bad take place in moscow the commute to take. her to the russian. does it got is a really great atmosphere you kno

to make it far in this tournament as well and portugal take on iran portugal with superstar cristiana rinaldo and for both teams it's make it or break it because out on top gets to play russia or. depending on where they qualify they play russia or way before i let you go what match ups are likely after these games so at the moment spain on top but it's kind of the same amount of points as portugal so depend on who wins more with more goals or who wins in general maybe tortuga lose to iran maybe spain lose directly there's a tie but should spain and portugal both win then spain will face russia and portugal will face way ok looking forward to that thank you so much and we talk to you in a bit and now we're going to stay with the theme of football iranian women who have traveled to watch a world cup matches in russia have been able to join fellow football fans in the stands but that hasn't always been the case back home women have been banned from attending sporting events in iran for nearly four decades but there are signs of a shift women were allowed into tehran's azadi stadium to watch a l

of ninety minutes and that just tells his own it and story so i think carlos cares who knows cristiana rinaldo really well he's had him in manchester united he's had him i think of real madrid he has had him also with portugal he knows him very very well he will try to keep him quiet and what we learn from the run today is that when you put the tactics on the board this is how we're going to play boys they can do it they were throwing bodies on on the line literally some incredible last minute lunge to to deny called no faulting iran's commitment they have to win now against portugal that would put around three imports go out do you give them a chance of based on the the two different rounds that we've seen you see the table has said there a point to how they have to win have you seen the defensive on the more attacking iran can they do if i'm caught his career is no pay off that disappointed we lost this game i would be very pleased with my part of my players performance and i would think if i had this situation to choose a situation two games ago i would definitely pick it i think they're in

no real stars in either side that we are looking at you know there's no leo messi there's no cristiana rinaldo and neymar. so it's going to be interesting to see what the to serve i think a lot of unknown players so perhaps that is going to help out a spot of the the game and also the fact that they are as we had the two lowest ranked teams in the tournament is not a mismatch at least it should be quite an even game. saudi arabia game because germany at the weekend and they certainly left a lot of holes at the back side of russia can get their attacking game in gear they could get something out this and then who knows with the crowd behind them that they could turn into a success after all perhaps a soft launch at the beginning of the world cup here. you're actually heading to russia aren't you i am indeed yes i'm heading there tomorrow in fact to watch the games and to cover the tournament for us i'm looking forward to seeing the coming together of different cultures and personalities and whatnot i think that's the great thing about the world cup where you've got teams really from all over co

we news live from berlin still to come the world cup portugal took on morocco with superstar cristiana rinaldotaking the bus but like ok. about that and counter and i it well the trade spat between china and the united states is continuing to annoy the markets. looking lovely said dave isay has more thank you very much it's true this concern in markets all over the world that this trade dispute between the u.s. and china might turn into an all out trade war with the us some the being the bad guys in china a victim after all the country's president xi jinping has been sending a consistent message for more than a year now to china is open for business but foreign investors there are actually telling a different story. whenever the cameras are on paying has a clear message for the global community gigi change your hearts and we have to say no to protectionism it would be akin to hiding in a dark room where you wouldn't be bothered by wind and rain but he would also not be getting light and fresh air. a lot of. in speeches like in davos twenty seventeen the chinese president has worked hard to pai

through but don't discount iran if they beat portugal they will go through at the expense of cristiana rinaldo and his teammates and what a story that would be jonathan we know you have been invention now for two weeks just give us a sense of what the mood has been there. i think it's fair to say the mood has changed over the last two weeks russians were always excited about hosting this tournament but that was tempered by a degree of pessimism about their national size chances but as we had a great rusher on the verge of a topping group that's been replaced by an outpouring of pride in the team as one newspaper here right we don't have to bite on nails anymore we can actually be excited about the football and i think we will lose or draw russian fans with certainly be doing that when we spoke to said he was expecting an electric atmosphere here in moscow he said moscow used to be like a village and now we have the whole world here celebrating with us he also expressed shock at how well the national side are doing he said someone must be putting them under pressure i'll leave that to your imag

portugal and the lions of the atlas morocco where the score is currently one nil and star striker cristiana rinaldo has netted in the fourth minute for the second game in a row giving portugal and even the to it. well at the moment iran tops the group off the portugal drew with spain and not six gold for the last week portugal who are known as they navigate isn't making their seventh world cup appearance the star player christiane there were now though hopes the team record for the most number of caps and goals and of course has found all over the world. mobile for the. number one. thank you thank you thank you. i want to thank. the years now the dream is finally becoming like an important card to the game in a lot of different things but i decided not to because i wanted to when was the world cup. so those were the three things you love most about russia. that it would. be the you call it that of russia. you have. for me does a proud moment because my country pakistan made the deal started football the future the world cup. i can spread a message of peace and love from pakistan to russia to footba

when portugal play impressive view of why eyes are on the cristiana rinaldo the world's best player heeemed upbeat in training ahead of the decisive game and even showed off some dancing skills meanwhile here are some numbers from the first of the largest football party on earth. some teams and their fans have of course already started the long track home but not before catching their experiences in photos and videos taken around russia artist started to compile some of the best of these you can check out all fans eye view project online at all to dot com. thanks. i. think i i think. i was. the. final group games didn't have as much at stake as some of the previous ones it was more a matter of finding out who to play whom in the last sixteen and the first games of the day colombia sent out with a tight one nil when japan joined the coffee growers in the last sixteen despite losing to poland here's a recap of what happened. and my colleague rory suchet discussed how the group stages went with allie has been covering the world cup for us from st petersburg. so that's my first time ever b

i mean the big stars that everyone's going to be looking at are the established guys you're cristiana rinaldo so he had his big moment in the sun winning with portugal the european championships twenty sixteen messi but i think the most interesting thing are the guys who play either in leagues that we don't watch or to clubs that we don't watch quite as much and i have three that i'd like to bring up first. milosevic savage of serbia he plays for lots you know he is a very big but still very technical central midfielder he's you know good in the tackle but also good as a passer and as a you know handler of the ball he could turn some heads i think irving chuckie was a know of mexico who plays his club football at p.s.v. eindhoven is a very interesting player he scored quite a few goals in the dutch league and then third off is hakim of morocco who used to play at the youth level for the netherlands but switched at the senior level not place for rocco and he's going to be very much the center of things for them he has great free kick ability great dribbling ability and if morocco has a good to

matches of ninety minutes and that just tells his own and story so i think carlos cares who knows cristiana rinaldo really well he's had it with manchester united he's had him i think of real madrid he's had him also with portugal he knows him very very well he will try to keep him quiet and what we learn from the run today is that when you put the tactics on the board this is how we're going to play boys they can do it they were throwing bodies on on the line literally some incredible last minute lunge to to deny god no faulting iran's commitment they have to win now against portugal that would put a round through imports go out do you give them a chance or based on the the two different rounds that we've seen you see the table here said there a point to hyundai after when have you seen the defensive on the more attacking iran can they do it if i'm carlos curious no payout disappointed we lost this game i would be very pleased with my part of my players performance and i would think if i had this situation to choose a situation two games ago.

one zero wins for spain against iran and for portugal against morocco portugal's goal scorer cristiana rinaldo he now has four goals in the tournament and is the top score at this world cup side for spain portugal top the group with identical records going into the final round of group games they come up next monday australia plays denmark in the world cup later on thursday a team known as the socceroos need to when to stay in the tournament football is not the most popular sport in australia but it is helping migrant children enter great into society enter thomas reports. in western sydney this is an innovative program to get refugee and migrant children involved in sports football united has been running for more than a decade helping newly arrived children to integrate into their local community. these kids would play twenty four seven i mean we can't keep and have programs going to satisfy them i think i've heard thousand times i want to be a soccer when i grow up but love for the national team the socceroos isn't universal on television football competes with two types of rugby rugby unio

with this one this goes back to last night's match where he says i can't predict illegal what cristiana rinaldo is doing at the world cup in russia now if you want to join the conversation you can always get hold of us twitter the hash tag is a.j. news grid and you can also get hold of me at peter underscore stimac but before that let me tell you about argentina and iceland who are in group d. as mentioned earlier but nigeria and croatia are the it soon for ismail takes a closer look at those teams for us. group d. has one of the most experienced sides in world football argentina face debutant iceland with croatia and nigeria also in the mix argentina have their political and financial difficulties but led mightily in a messy they're going for a third world cup title argentina were beaten by germany in the twenty fourteen fine iceland to make their world cup debut and they're not a team to be taken lightly they knocked england out of the twenty sixteen european championships in the last sixteen it's the fifth the world cup for croatia since they became an independent state france ninety eight w

first of all because portugal features one of the world's two top soccer superstars that is cristiana rinaldo and you know people caught a glimpse of him sort of preparing for this game. yesterday and he looked cool calm and collected just hanging out on the balcony this is a very experienced team they won the european championships in twenty sixteen they've been coached by the same guy from under santos for four years they know exactly what they're going to do and spain is not quite in that situation it will be interesting to see what happens but mid-span also want the favorites this fact that coach a couple of days ago the head coach do you think that will have an impact on rattle the players to some extent you know i can't imagine that it would do anything other than rattle the players in some senses i mean the guy who they chose to bring in as the new coach fernando yetto is a very experienced players the most capped outfield player for spain he also is a real madrid legend he was already part of the coaching set up there so they already know him but at the same time it is clear both from

the shock factor as well just two days before their opening game against portugal obviously cristiana rinaldo leading that side the reigning european champions probably the toughest game in the group and just the manner it came about they were in some form five minutes before. announced that the spanish f.a. president found out he stormed off from this congress such as his anger in fact taking on the sport and now fernando. trying to turn something around here and trying to get this the players behind him because obviously this is happening very last moment and so can he do that can he turn their fortunes around. well the thing in his favor is he has a spanish election the eighty nine international caps to the spanish side as a central defender said the players will know him the only problem is he doesn't have too much coaching experience he only had one the year and that was in charge of a second division side in spain. so this really is going to be a bandaid solution. to have some consolation that they have a very strong squad they have players that know how to play with each other and harr

hundred list of the world's richest athletes and this year there are no women football stars cristiana rinaldo and little massey feature in the top three again the boxer floyd mayweather is reclaiming the top spot from the other a typically i would want to three women feature in the top one hundred but not a single female athlete made it this year three williams the only woman who featured in twenty seven t.v. took a break from her tennis career due to pregnancy. this is d.w. news life from but still to come out the rush for nigeria's world cup but for gold just a correspondence go looking for every country's most popular sports. that's one of africa's bloodiest walls but now the border dispute between if yoko and eritrea could be an added look at how we got. caught up all box on the news more on the way this is leaves. the. true. higher and higher further and further dirtier and dirtier. the high gloss world of professional sports behind the scenes of bitter truth. manipulation exploitation corruption mafia style a business worth millions but just how murky is the world of sports and reality.

buildup to this one about whether or not they're just a one man see and all the focus being on cristiana rinaldo they probably are but always deny it i mean that they coming into this knockout round thinking while maybe we really should have won that group they went to the final game against iran with the destiny of the group in their own hands they were leading for long periods of time against iran there was an equaliser they almost got knocks out in the final seconds but they they all through and ronaldo again will be a key man you feel as though if they also be you're quite he will be the focus one little interesting stats i picked up here maybe thirty three but rinaldo has been clocked as the fastest player in this world cup at thirty four kilometers per hour so it seems he does still have plenty to offer amazing andy thank you very much well those two games have been top trends on social media but sports fans have also been showing their appreciation towards front starkey and back pay the one thousand year old told a french newspaper that he'll donate all his match fees and bonuses to chari

portugal's coach is warning the team have no chance of getting past year if they rely on rinaldo alone. if cristiana plays alone portugal will lose it's not possible if we're not strong as a team the same way europe why a strong we start the game being weaker but it's very hard with a single player to solve anything even when you score three goals in a game you must have a team to support you other was there's no chance what's clear to me is that we will have a clash between two very strong teams with highly skilled players. a match in a round of sixteen in the world cup against the current european champions you can find more motivation in a match like this and all the support that we have been getting is extra motivation we must be ready for this to give our best if it doesn't go our way we have to be sure we've given everything well as he heard from argentina as head coach for argentinians football is a national passion all eyes have been on the men's team at the world cup as they fought to make it out of their group but as today's sub zero reports one a side as players in the women's team caught
