with phil foden and bukayo saka, gareth southgate has potentially seen weaknesses they can exploit inhis highly, highly motivated, it is their first time in the knockout stages of the world cup for 20 years, they are the champions of africa. but the big think they have been dealing with over the last couple of days as their talisman and their manager aliou cisse has not been able to take training or being the press conferences because of illness. we have seen pictures of him on the touchline and in the stadium so we can expect him to be in the dugout and it is all set for a massive game and to see who makes it to the quarterfinals of the world cup. it to the quarterfinals of the world cu -. �* it to the quarterfinals of the world cu, �* ., ~' , ., , . cup. alex, thank you very much indeed from _ cup. alex, thank you very much indeed from the _ cup. alex, thank you very much indeed from the al-bayt - cup. alex, thank you very much i indeed from the al-bayt stadium. last time senegal reached the knockout stage, it was built on a shock win over the then world champions, france. but in 20

phil foden then assisted harry kane, who scored his first goal of the tournament, and as you mentionedhird goal in the world cup. that takes england's goal tally to 12. they have never scored more goals in a world cup either, albeit six of those did came against iran. it is worth mentioning, senegal, their fans were a credit to their team today. i was inside the stadium, and 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, it did not matter, they sang, they were beating drums, they were blowing trumpets for the entire 90 minutes so i think, if the football team is going to be missed, the fans are going to be an even bigger miss. it was an amazing atmosphere. nestor macgregor there. and it was a comfortable win for france against poland earlier on sunday. the star of the show kylian m'bappe scored twice putting him in contention for the golden boot, an award for the player with the most goals. olly foster reports. poland not half as bad as we thought they were going to be. they limped through the group stages to set up this last 16 tie against the french, the strong favourites, of course. and it is the scoreline, the re

and there's foden!ys the manager now faces a dilemma. everyone has scored and everyone has proved their point, so it's going to be a headache for gareth to pick the team for the next game. you can't afford to make mistakes or start a game badly now because you are going to be sent home. meanwhile, england trained here today with all 25 players present. for years, england feared knockout matches like this but having reached the semifinals and final of their last two major tournaments, gareth southgate's side has proven it has what it takes to handle such pressure. however, this world cup has shown that no side is safe from a shock result. senegal stand in the way of england and a place in the quarterfinals, but their preparations have been disrupted. inspirational head coach aliou cisse missing today's news conference with sickness. translation: he has been ill for the last two days. - yesterday, he asked us to do training for him. we are sure that tomorrow evening, when the match starts, he will be the

oh, that line is play foden.again, points it. gone, see if we can get it up again, points it . oh, it's again, points it. oh, it's a difficult job, but at he is lucky as well because upfront he has a lot of options . harry kane has a lot of options. harry kane will play i suppose if he's if he's fit and he should play. of course . but then who's playing course. but then who's playing around him ? it can be foden. it around him? it can be foden. it can be sterling rashford saka grealish . so sadly, we're having grealish. so sadly, we're having trouble with that line. anyway, it's such fun to talk to him. i mean , he's such a legendary name mean, he's such a legendary name . oh, in the history of english football, isn't he? we'll try and get back to spend in a moment . as you can see that he's moment. as you can see that he's at home. but i feel like i'm waiting to peddle dispense. sorry about that. the line the line dropped out a little bit, but we were getting the joke. ontario oh, sorry. we are having technical

phil foden assisted harry kane, who scored his first of the tournament and bukayo saka got his third world cup, taking england's goal tally to 12, they have never scored more goals in a world cup either, albeit six coming against iran. senegal�*s fans were a credit to the team today. i was inside the stadium and 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, it didn't matter, they sang, were beating drums, they blew trumpets for the entire 90 minutes. so i think if the football team is going to be a miss, the fans are going to be an even bigger miss. it was an amazing atmosphere. france beat poland 3—1 earlier as they look to win the torunament for a second successive time. star of the show was kylian mbappe as olly foster now reports. poland not half as bad as we thought they were going to be. they limped through the group stages to set up this last 16 tie against the french, the strong favourites, of course. and it is the scoreline, the result that we expected. that it was very tight at half—time, olivier giroud had given the french the lead just before the break, his 52nd goal for his country. and that sees him

. >> así es, con jude bellingham el acompañamiento de phil foden, dejando al goleador por acá, el pasen el campo claro que sí . >> (risas) . >> no llega . >> vamos a hablar de la selección francesa, en términos generales el partido fue como imaginábamos . >> así es, sorpresivamente polonia tuvo varias jugadas, francia apareciendo en los momentos en que tenía que aparecer, . >> ya era mejor francia, generando oportunidades de gol polnia se fue sin ofrecer nada dstinto . >> este fue la única ,. >> . >> vas a tener alguna oportunidad . >> llegó más de lo que esperaba, francia muy fuerte, mbappé con 5 goles, la veo como favorita para la final . >> no tuvo ni 10 minutos de certeza futbolística polonia, francia fue midiendo . >> esta jugada es impresionante, . >> el que la despeja es este jugador en el penal . >> dejando a mbappé solo, este jugador no puede quedarse con tanto espacio, el mejor del equipo contrario . >> el planteamiento de olivier giroud es interesante, le jala la marca ,. >> el arquero caminando al lado izquierdo pensando en tirar ese palo . >> pateándola al otr palo ¿no? .

certainly not. 1—0 down, saying on a manchester city theme because as england walked off the pitch, phil fodennd it is the french that are leading through our aurelien tchouameni goal from a good 20—25 yards out, i wonder strike really, jordan pickford dived but did not get close to it as it nestled in his right hand corner, just went through to it as it nestled in his right hand corner, just went throuthude bellingham's legs as he tried to get across to block the short and up until then it had been pretty cagey, that came inside the first 20 minutes and england responded really well after going behind, having more possession, a very good shout for a penalty, harry kane bundled over just on the edge of the ball, looking like he was inside but perhaps when they looked at that var penalty check, just outside, so no penalty check, just outside, so no penalty and they did not give the fowl either if it was not a penalty decision. we saw some pace in that battle between kyle walker and kylian mbappe but it came from kyle walker actually, kylian mbappe but it came from kyle walkeractually, he kylian

saka who was brilliant last night in winning that penalty, which obviously harry kane took full, phil fodenwhen he returns to manchester city, so many of these young players will learn a lot from this experience and just 18 months away now from the next major tournament, the european championships, believe that perhaps they can at long last finally get over the line. there is a sense, an inevitability with thing and that major tournaments, you always feel theyjust major tournaments, you always feel they just lack something major tournaments, you always feel theyjust lack something in those big moments to really get over the line, but perhaps now the future is looking bright and i think that will be the lasting memory perhaps from the string that, yes, england have gone out of the quarterfinals, it is not a semifinal or a world cup win but it is that unity still between the players and fans just as there was back in 2018 and i think that will surely inspire these fires and gareth southgate and leave them on into the next major tournament. thank you. meanwhile, the viewing figures for last ni

that necessarily isn't a bad thing, he has to choose between marcus rashford, raheem sterling, phil fodenr bukayo saka. he is tapering his farm to get better as the competition goes on. senegal, if they feel like it is their time to make history, the first time they have been in the knockout stages for 20 years. there have been a lot of upsets in the world cup and gareth southgate will be hoping that england can avoid any and find themselves in the quarterfinal of the world cup. the government is making plans to use the military to try and minimise the impact of a host of public sector strikes due to take place between now and christmas. in particular they could be used when nurses take strike action later this month. let's speak to our political correspondent david wallace lockhart who's at westminster for us this lunchtime. what are the plans looking like? the what are the plans looking like? tie: government what are the plans looking like? tte: government is still hoping strikes can be avoided. we heard from the conservative party chairman this morning asking workers to reflect on thei

as long as foden�*s in the starting 11, then i'm happy.see them going forward and attacking, and not sitting back and waiting for... waiting to lose. do you think england are sometimes a little bit defensive under gareth southgate, is that one of the issues? i'm not an england manager — farfrom it — but, yeah, ithink so. we've got some of the most talented young attacking players in the world, so i'd like to see them going forward. and senegal, i mean, do you think they're going to be tough opponents, or do you think that's the sort of game that england should be winning quite comfortably? no, 100% a tough opponent, of course they are. they're on a huge unbeaten streak, i was reading this morning. yeah, the africa cup of nations winners, they're going to be a tough task, for sure. a tough task. and if england overcome that, the next round is likely to be france. i mean, it might not be, but what would you think of an england—france match? because that would be a whole different proposition, wouldn't it? i'd be terrified of kylian mbappe. b

it can be foden.can be star rashford saka grealish , but star rashford saka grealish, but you cannot play all them. so yeah, i hope you have played foden arrest tonight. i hope so . england fans in qatar are optimistic if he and hopeful i'm very high school prediction three one england. how are you feeling about tonight? incredibly nervous. we know it's going to be a tough game and it's easy at this stage. you know, the group are out the way. anything happen. are anything can happen. senegal are a team . it's going to be a great team. it's going to be a tough one. prediction three one. england is way too optimistic. i'm going to go to one. maybe i'll fracture time, but then i'll fracture time, but then i'll be in tears. let's talk. but hopefully penalties . and but hopefully penalties. and with 150 days until king charles the feds coronation that's an edward's crown has been removed from the tower london to be adjusted for him king charles's ceremony is expected be smaller and shorter than . the late
