that is the xi, gareth southgate's first world cup xi. they face tunisia in their group g opener.land respond. such an inexperienced team and we will have reaction here on bbc news a little bit later. that match is over on bbc one. england have never lost to an african team. they last met tunisia backin african team. they last met tunisia back in 1998, she error and skulls scoring the goals then. who will be there goalscorers today? —— alan shearer and paul scholes. that's it from sportsday from me and the team in moscow and all the team back in the bbc sports centre. we now sit and wait to see just how england get on, their world cup adventure is about to begin. from all of us it is goodbye for now. temperatures not dropping below 18 in central london tonight. just a few showers across the highlands and islands. lots of cloud in wales and central and southern england to begin with. cloud steadily building from the south—west after a bright start in scotland and northern ireland and the far north of england. outbreaks of rain in northern ireland and big temperature contrasts north

that is something gareth southgate was talking about afterwards. absolutely.keep going until the last minute and in the end it proved to be the 91st minute. this was a side with nine players making their world cup debuts and at times it looked like thatis debuts and at times it looked like that is hubris of youth was going to make england leave volgograd with a hat full of goals but a stubborn resista nce hat full of goals but a stubborn resistance from tunisia. and carelessness from england almost cost them again on the big stage. for all the dark times of the past, for all the expectation of the present, every four years the hope returns. all the right sounds have come from this england camp but the talk and the mood is defined in 90 minutes. england's cohesion seemed no illusion. they'll bring to this match was thrilling. the breakthrough was coming. clawed away. put in now though! and put in by captain kane. the kind of opportunism that is now harry kane's habit, but england are well versed in not making it easy. tunisia hadn't threatened when they swung i

to the united states are you gareth i mean. brings up a fascinating point because when watching kim and trump signed the document and then the. spoke to reporters and then and then trump. rather strange i have to say encounter with the media afterwards because it was so vague. what does denuclearization actually mean because we really don't know what that means ok because now being a brings up a very good point and and so it's still kind of a here and that's the obstacle here i mean we had a lot of optics you know photo ops and stuff like that in the look good it was felt good but now there's the hard work ahead go ahead carol. well you know i don't think it's really quite true that we have no idea what denuclearization means well i mean like the time like a time frame like a time frame ok i mean it then sanctions i mean if that's a day i sleep better it takes five or seven years to go through this and and then sanctions are only dropped then i mean again this is all really really they go ok i'm for this process very much for t

cross talking the singapore summit i'm joined by my guest gareth porter in washington he's an independent investigative journalist and historian as well as author of manufactured crisis the untold story of the iran nuclear scare also in washington we have one she is a visiting professor at georgetown university and a former senior special advisor for embassador and christopher hill at the u.s. state department all right crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated gareth let me go to you first you've been writing about what was happening before the summit what are your what do you wear your reactions to the summit now now that it's gone into history go ahead gary. you know peter it was never the case in my view that this summit was going to produce a substantive document that was going to represent you know negotiated agreements on some of the tricky issues that necessarily will have to be resolved in reaching the agreement on nuclear deal. in korea therefore you know the rather and substantive document that was produced didn't surprise me

you saw that gareth can bring off the bench, that gareth can bring off the bench, that can change. come on, we have maybe a change to ask to the system that can potentially change again, so yeah. there remains to be seen. again, so yeah. there remains to be seen. we will certainly be tested at some point in this tournament, where it is what we're going to do in the situation, and then it will be up to the players to try and change the game. marcus rashford when he puts on aiden english start is a positive and bring something that is so different that he picks it all up and runs straight at defenders. that a lwa ys and runs straight at defenders. that always scares defenders. and gives us always scares defenders. and gives us another option. so i think gareth's fortunate there. i wouldn't be surprised to see ratchford play against metrically and for the rest of the tournament. —— rashford play guest of it. i believe we have a really good chance. i really do. these germans are generally won 19 to have players that can make a difference and affecting areas. it sounds simple but the bi

there is a feeling that gareth southgate's preference has a lwa ys gareth southgate's preference hasd. he loves his distribution, his calmness despite his tender years. he seems to be currently the man in possession of the shirt. it will be interesting to hear southgate's comments in his press c0 nfe re nces hear southgate's comments in his press conferences which are going on behind us at wembley now as to whetherjack butland, behind us at wembley now as to whether jack butland, stoke behind us at wembley now as to whetherjack butland, stoke city, will get a at allen road —— allen road. nick pope travelling there much is the third keeper. it seems the everton keeper will be that man, there is nothing to many doubts about it. you get the will start against tunisia. the squad numbers have not yet been announced.” against tunisia. the squad numbers have not yet been announced. i was going to say, perhaps things will be a little bit clearer when gareth southgate has the full limits of that 23 to choose from at allen . take us through the little bit of itinerary —— elland road. . take us

it's all part of gareth southgate's plan to bring the fans closer. but real madrid's keeper couldn't get anywhere near marcus rashford. fabulous for marcus rashford. how is that for staking a claim for both country and club? england had all the possession, costa rica offered little. when the three lions needed to put this to bed, danny welbeck, used his head. the substitute's flying effort putting the cherry on the top of a solid performance. 2—0, job done. next up, russia. what does this tell us about how england welfare 7 this tell us about how england welfare? not too much to be honest, when the pressure is on in the tournament, they do perform differently. but marcus rashford has given gareth southgate a selection headache and this felt like a proper sendoff for a young, capable team who might surprise us all. natalie, thank you. that's it from us. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. bye— bye. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm mike bushell. the headlines tonight. world, are you watching? england's marcus rashford shows what he

or if it failed we would suddenly go to war well i'm simply not the case so i think the media and gareth you've been talking about this i mean the media's been pretty shameful in the narratives that they've been pushing but that almost has everything to do with domestic politics in the united states let me go to gareth erika's you wrote in written recently on this topic go ahead well yes of course it's true that the media have played a very nasty role in the run up to this summit really trying to discredit the idea .

hopes for gareth gates and his team. hopes for gareth gates and his teamlj inexperienced team, and his hopes for gareth gates and his team. i do not think there has been any expectation on england for a time, i'io expectation on england for a time, 110 one expectation on england for a time, no one expected us to win it. having said that we expected to beat iceland in the last european championships, but we have to do better and that should not be difficult. ijust better and that should not be difficult. i just want better and that should not be difficult. ijust want to see the players enjoying it, they may never again play in a world cup so enjoy it and if they do not win, then at least if you go home saying you know what, we tried, we gave everything and that as i ink what the english fans want. i think gareth has made all the right decisions and done everything in a sensible way. it has been cool and calm the way he had to leave out wayne rooney, the way he named his squad quickly the way he has named his formation so

you think gareth southgate will go back to the tea m gareth southgate will go back to the team he started who was working on his own back in the hotel and a planned individual programme. we are told he is not an injury concern. but the fa ct is not an injury concern. but the fact he was not with the main group today suggests he won't start. he started england's pasta classic dancing came on in a substitute in the first game. fabian delph returned to the uk to be with his wife ahead of the birth of their first child. i don't think he will be available from the start and he probably would not have been anyway. we think gareth southgate will refer his first race team, the team started against tunisia. the scrape to win big —— to— one victory layer on. i think dele alli will come after the first time since picking up after the first time since picking up the thigh injury necking. harry kane leading the line, the top scorer in the competition chasing the golden boot. if gareth southgate does that, it it is unconfirmed, it'd be jordan chingford does that, it it is unconfirmed, it'd bejordan chi

gareth, the great thing that gareth southgate, player ina number of thing that gareth southgate, playerrnaments. he has brought tho5e le55on5 during those turbulent tournaments. he has brought tho5e lessons to the current england team. has he done so because he has been there, featured in it? seen it. i'll give you the be5t in it? seen it. i'll give you the best example, we made progress in the years of terry venable5, glenn hoddle, sven—goran erik55on, kevin keegan come on physical preparation. nutrition, all of thing. mental preparation, i would say that much preparation. there was a feeling in the fa that is overpaid player5 should be happy to go to a world cup and didn't need psychologists. the truth was, as this time, you have player5 truth was, as this time, you have players as young as the young full—back from liverpool, 19. you have a5hley young, 32. call me old—fashioned, but these players go out to a tournament, they have no idea how long they are going to be there. we hope there will be a long time. most of us hope they will be a long time. back home, who knows what i5 long t

gareth southgate has been bowled so far, tonight he reiterated his belief in his young team.back and they want to play brave football, they want to be a bold attacking team and that's how i feel we should pray. in a city of such history, we will soon find out if new look england can leave their past behind. the favourite and england's group are of course belgium. they will be expected to beat panama, the outsiders in this group. this much against tanisha is crucial. they may not have as many surnames as england but they're only ranked one place lower than they think gareth southgate's matches to his players will be doing a taken for granted. unbeaten in their qualifying campaign, they pose a major threat. and that match will be on bbc one tomorrow evening, natalie perks of her

so i think gareth's fortunate there.open for the rest of the tournament. i believe we have a really good chance. i really do. particularly an attacking areas. these tournaments are generally won by teams who have players that can make a difference in attacking areas. it sounds simple, but the big players really can do that, and we have harry kane, and dele alli, raheem sterling and marcus rashford. all these players, they can do these things. that is really great for us. but i say we really do have to keep some context here and know that when you do good to be business end, and when you have started to see it a bit with brazil and the second half yesterday, that neymar all of a sudden looked like we were starting to see the real neymar after the injury. the talent they have in their squad. germany can change things very quickly if they get a result against sweden. and the bigger and better teams will compare. yeah, england certainly should be confident where they are read at the moment come about i really expect the bigg

it should be a really good test for gareth southgate.eth southgate. let's hear from some of the fans we spoke to. everyone is buzzing. you're seeing england team shirts everywhere, aren't we? i think it's really buzzing about it. you can't wait, can you? are you excited about the world cup? yes, this is my first england match in my whole life. world cup? yes, this is my first england match in my whole lifelj think england will do pretty well. i can see semifinal, winning the final. i think we're probably underdogs. i think there is a lot of pressure from the media so i think it's going to be a good work—out. there's not a lot of expectation, to be honest. relatively were doing quite well, we've got a young team and nothing to lose. i think we'll go out there and give it our good. gareth southgate has had quite a few things to deal with in the build—up. how likely is it that the controversy around raheem sterling will continue? i think you'll want that to be put to bed. many people feel every tournament that comes around, that england are

we will hear from gareth southgate.t of our team and part of oui’ he is part of our team and part of ourfamily for the he is part of our team and part of our family for the next few months and we intend to support our players as well as we possibly can. aston villa face an uncertain future. a huge tax bill and players‘ wages could push them into administration. we‘ll be asking what next. sharapova and out — maria beaten by muguruza at the french open. good evening, thanks forjoining us on bbc news. england defender danny rose has spoken today about his concerns ahead of the world cup in russia, saying he‘s told his family to stay at home to avoid any racist abuse he and the other squad members may face. rose said his family may never get the chance to see him play at a world cup again but he doesn‘t want to have to worry about their safety. well, ahead of england‘s final friendly against costa rica tomorrow, gareth southgate has been speaking to the press and our sports correspondent, david 0rnstein, was there. david, w

gareth southgate was obvious that. he has taken what he is good at news that.ent on the pitch. they looked like they are having fun off the pitch and on the pitch. that is o'clock kick—off on thursday and then will play on monday in the last 16. it is starting to get very real now and very serious. when we come back i have got some very interesting argentina team news. but 110w interesting argentina team news. but now back to the bbc sports centre. we'll start with a comprehensive tennis round up — the grass court season is in full swing — as the warm—up to wimbledon continues... and british number onejohanna konta is through to the third round at eastbourne. she beat serbian aleksandra krunic in straight sets in her home town. konta looking to find some form heading into wimbledon — but has a tough tie in the next round — facing caroline wozniaki, who won this year's australian open. and petra kvitova looks in great form — she won the title in birmingham at the weekend — today she breezed past kateryna bonderenko of ukraine in straight sets to reach the third

the press officer actually turns to gareth and said, "germany are out."te had to say earlier about saying goodbye to the world champions so soon. i didn't look at that group and think automatically they would go through. they were close to the wire against sweden the other night and i've just watched some of the game there where they we re some of the game there where they were not able to break south korea down. they have only been a half for 1.5 minutes in their three matches. it has been unusual to see them struggle as much as they have but the level of all of the teams is strong. well, it will be a jury of game at this one. there is talk of martinez making ten changes. we don't think he will make that many but southgate was asked how many changes he would make and whether harry kane would get onto the pitch. he did not want to talk about losing momentum. he wanted to keep positive. they are going into this game to win it. it does not matter how many changes they make, they are going out to win this group. natalie there in the leningrad. a curious game

right crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciated gareth let me go to you first even writing about what was happening before the summit what are your what are you or your reactions to the summit now now that it's gone into history go ahead gary. you know peter it was never the case in my view that this summit was going to produce a substantive document that was going to represent you know negotiated agreements on some of the tricky issues that necessarily will have to be resolved in reaching the agreement on nuclear deal. in korea therefore you know the rather and substantive document that was produced didn't surprise me at all i thought this was about what one would expect from the first meeting ever between a u.s. president and the current leader of north korea given the history of that issue and the politics that attend the issue particularly in the united states you know obviously this is not going to be a document this is going to give you a roadmap to a settlement it's not going to have the. timetable that some people in the media sai

we were here from gareth southgate that evening, and we have not heard from him so far.p, how they perform, not long until we find out. but we will be talking endlessly about that for three days, hardly? you talked about the england media seeing nothing from that all—important seeing nothing from that all—importa nt close trading seeing nothing from that all—important close trading session, but i understand the england media has been getting a bit of a time at the key with some england players? talk us through this. is that david ornstein i see there? i was sincerely hoping you were not going to mention this. i was promised that you would not. but seeing as you have, yes, i better admit that i was the journalist asked to take on jordan pickford today. england‘s number one i shared, we don‘t know if you will start of course, but we think he probably will. it has become a thing of the england camp that a journalist will take them on. yesterday a journalist was edged out by gary cahill. today it is fair to say that i received a drubbing from england‘s number one. i was feel

so what will gareth southgate do? to breed a mentality that everybody in our squad wants to constantly win. we have not won a knockout game since 2006. why we are starting to plot which would be a better venue for our semifinal is beyond me, really. commentator: jesse lingard! jesse lingard! england's performances so far have certainly got people talking, and not just fans. the world is taking notice too. england have so far surpassed all fans' expectations of them, and in turn, those here are starting to allow themselves to dream aboutjust how far england might go. i wouldn't be surprised if we got to maybe even the semifinal, the way the draw is. so, yeah, i'm optimistic. it feels really good at the moment. before, when we had the likes of beckham, gerrard and lampard, we believed we had great individuals, but now i think we have a good team and team spirit. nobody else looks better than england. so i try and keep my expectations down, but it's getting hard. right now, no one knows the destination, but fans are enjo

now, gareth southgate dismissed the notion of boredom as a nonsense, but with the buzz of st petersburge way in the distance, he needs to hope he's got this one right. but cabin fever can't be blamed, says a former captain. you get given games, you get given books. whatever you want is provided on a plate for you. you're here to play football for a month of your life, that's not too much to ask. what is a big ask is for england to win. it's been 52 years after all, but at least fans can now see the green shoots of progress. natalie pirks, bbc news, repino. newsnight is on bbc two. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. good night. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'mjohn watson. i'm john watson. the headline this evening. england touch down in st petersburg as southgate vows to entertain at the world cup. hoping to get there, scotland's women leave it late to keep their hopes of qualifying alive. wales‘s women lead the way in their qualifying group. some beaumont brilliance levels england's series with south africa. and a golden athlete ends time on a golden career. hello

what you have been seeing with gareth southgate's team? unicorns, and so would gazza! he would probably have shot them with a bb gun! he was great for our entertainment but gareth southgate has kept everybody level—headed and their feet on the ground. the so—called team has been leaked, but gareth just took it in his stride. he is very calm and relaxed and assured, and i think he will be at perth england manager. hopefully he can take england through to the knockout stages, which is the ultimate dream. —— he will be a very good england manager. get to the quarterfinals, see what happens. it is a new england, a new feature for us. gareth will leave a very good legacy for future managers to come. we were talking to joleon lescott on the sofa a few minutes ago and he was talking about the use of england's team compared to panama's experience. —— the youth of england. i think the oldest player will be ashley young at left back at 32, and the average is 25 and one third years old, and they are learning all the time. before the game against tuni

any clues as to what gareth southgate might go with team selection? and keeping harmony in the group and that means potentially getting players in. also trying to keep happy the ones that are playing so keep happy the ones that are playing so well and keeping that the menton and positivity as he called it going. kyle walker is on a booking and could be replaced by philjones 01’ and could be replaced by philjones or gary cahill. he had his thigh strapped against panama, so he could be bringing on arnold. danny rose could start ahead of ashley young. hurricane, we are hearing reports jamie vardy could be in line to pick up jamie vardy could be in line to pick up his 24th cap, he scored seven goals for england, but it would be a bit unfair to hurricane who is on fire. he scored in england's last five goals and the last player to do that was tommy lawton in 1938 —— hurricane. gareth southgate will want to keep positivity, momentum and a winning habit going as they go into the last 16. natalie, thank you so much. before england play — group h has to be dec

if you had told england and gareth southgate that they would win their first gareth southgate that theyd win their first game and their potential route to the semifinal would be to beat panama, play belgium to see where they finish in the group and then potentially it could beat japan in the round of 16 and mexico to get into the semifinal. that might not pan out but there is quite a bit of positivity around england and not just from our pundits. i spoke to didier drogba yesterday who said it was a really good england unit and team. the one thing i think that has changed the dynamic in the last 2a hours is this relationship with the media. there is a big argument about the picture that was in the press and papers and online, and the bbc printed it as well, as it changed the relationship with the media which was quite rosy and friendly before the start of the world cup? is it thejob before the start of the world cup? is it the job of the media to report the news or help the england team? what we have found is we have gone back to the default position where there is quite an uncomfortable

that have allowed disallowed gareth southgate to work on hisjoe's information for the first game.ire squad have now been informed of their roles, so they know where they stand, whether starting on the bench were not involved at all. if reports are to be believed, jordan pickford will be in goal, with a back three of harry maguire, john stones and kyle walker. the wing backs being kieran trippier and ashley young. the wind forwards raheem sterling and jesse lingard in support of captain harry kane. but thatis support of captain harry kane. but that is unconfirmed, that is what reports are suggesting. today we heard from another player, and it was a news conference that was relaxed. fabian delph was the man put in front of the media, he talked about this being a fearless england team. they been having a lot of fun out here, it's been very relaxed, they been mingling with the media, playing video games and darts competitions, tenpin bowling, you name it. it's been a departure from previous england squads. but as fabian delph says, it's not been all fun and games. once training starts

or if it failed we would suddenly go to war well i'm simply not the case so i think the media and gareth you've been talking about this i mean the media's been pretty shameful in the narratives that they've been pushing but that almost has everything to do with domestic politics in the united states let me go to gareth erika's you wrote written recently on this topic go ahead. well yes of course it's true that the media have played a very nasty role in the run up to this summit really trying to discredit the idea that there could be an agreement that would effectively denuclearize and i guess i from from what i heard. say just a moment ago i think i disagree with the conclusion that there can't be. a connection between the various aspects of a peace agreement. between the united states and north korea as well as between north and south korea and denuclearization i think there is every reason to believe that those two things are intimately connected i didn't and they have said ok ok i'll be happy to well you know we're going to reply finish up your point there get at them ok. so the point

gareth southgate, it is a bit embarrassing, back to the guardian's sport pages.land's injury god, harry kane has broken a medical school will —— metatarsal but fortunately, it is only the manager. he says he has been advised not to do any fist pumping celebrations, not good if you have injured your shoulder. he said the players are rather amused by it, he says he is upset about it because he was on for his record ten ktime. it because he was on for his record ten k time. it is actually emanating to this country that there is a feelgood factor at the moment because the team are really sending a positive vibes. i really commend them, i really do like gareth southgate and i think he has handled it really well and is quite nice actually to positive all the way through. it is not easy, it is a poisoned chalice to really be the england manager but he has handled it really well, and i notice, get rid of your bit in its and have a rest day that is my advice to gareth when i see him, in our lab, sit down. this is not the way to make yourself fit. —— fitbits it shows that

did isjob done for gareth welcome the moskal. -- moskal. is job done for gareth southgate's team, they did it with a record score, 6—1 against panama, they have never been anyone at this tournament. in fact, any major championship by a bigger score line. but that is secondary to them getting into the last 16, and that is what they have done with belgian to get through. panama were poor, to be fair, but england showed no mercy. every world cup match reveals more about this england team, now they they have faced panama's passion. for them, just being here is the climax of a journey. england are just getting started. that's gone in! as easy as you like. john stones gets a goal. soon after a foul onjesse lingard brought the chance for more. penalty, one man to trust with it. how emphatic was that? harry kane's conversion set the foundations for flamboyance. lingard spent the first half getting roughed up. it was time for a silky touch. jesse lingard! tires in a quite beautiful third for england! if that third strike was special, england's fourt

gareth southgate announced his team yesterday, it remains under wraps for the time being.ng 11 have not played at the world cup before, and that would include defender harry maguire. there's no doubt about it. we are going to the game trying to get three points, we won't go there and be happy to come away with a draw. we want the three points. it is massive. the first game in any group stage is... big, it's tournament football, you can't lose the first game. three points would make it a lot easier to qualify. it would indeed. that is tomorrow. today there is plenty coming up. first it is costa rica against serbia, that gets under way at one o'clock. holders germany take on mexico at apm, that match on bbc 0ne. mexico at apm, that match on bbc one. this evening, brazil take on switzerland. let's look at yesterday's action now. he's never far from the headlines lionel messi is he, such is his brilliance. but he will want to forget this moment in yesterday's match with iceland... his missed penalty saw the smallest nation at the tournament, draw 1—1 with the two time champion

we find out which decisions might be keeping gareth southgate up at night.ure england teams will benefit from a winter break after the premier league agrees to put one in place from the 2019—2020 season onwards. just one win away from french open title number 11. rafael nadal has never lost a semi final at roland garros. and juan martin del potro couldn't stop him today either. and how much have you missed him? tyson fury, with his camouflage pants and heavyweight strength, gets ready to return to the ring. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm hugh ferris. welcome to sportsday. thanks forjoining us. so the warm ups are done and dusted. the next we'll see of england is at the world cup. and if you were gareth southgate, i wonder if your mind was changed by an impressive win over costa rica. rashford or sterling up front? cahill or maguire in defence? butland or pickford in goal? just some of the decisions that may need to be made between now and the 18th ofjune when england play tunisia in their first match of the tournament in russia. we have got competition

but gareth southgate will make changes tonight.istently performing well in the last eight, nine matches and we are hitting a level of performance that is really important when we go into latter stages of the competition. belgium is a team of well—known premier league faces that all english football fans could name. the same can‘t be said of england in belgium. but that could work to gareth southgate‘s advantage. as foreigners, we all used to know the england team as the showbiz team with david beckham, wayne rooney, the wags and all that stuff that came with it. it‘s gone and there are no real stars in this team, but i think southgate has done a greatjob of building a good team. graemejones has a foot in both camps. english by birth, belgian coach by profession. both teams have qualified which i am delighted with. obviously, i am false flag flying for belgium, but i am a proud englishman. commentator: chipped in and volleyed in and it is there by david platt. the last time england played belgium in the world cup was in italia 90. a

and, heading to russia for the world cup — england manager gareth southgate says he wants his team tofans a reason to smile. and coming up on bbc news... david haye announced his retirement from professional boxing. the former heavyweight and unified cruiserweight champion says he's proud to leave the sport happy and healthy. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. donald trump and kimjong—un have held an historic meeting — the first between a sitting us president and north korean leader. the pair shook hands at a luxury hotel on singapore's sentosa island, and after their talks signed what was described as a comprehensive document, promising a new relationship between the two nations. the agreement included a pledge from mr kim to work to rid the korean peninsula of nuclear weapons, and president trump later said the us would suspend its military exercises that have infuriated north korea. karishma vaswani's report contains flashing images from the start. making history with a handshake. many thought this moment would never come. but when it finally did, it was measured an

gareth has to make decade.ave not done for 12 years, when a knockout game ata done for 12 years, when a knockout game at a major tournament. england returned to their training base this morning to begin preparations for a match that this time they know they cannot afford to lose. after two opening wins a much weakened side faltered against belgium in kaliningrad last night and they now have just four days to regroup before the first knockout match against colombia. gareth southgate has done a good job and i think he will take us further in the next few years. i think for us to get to the semis would be a massive achievement. it is possible. as we have seen in this tournament people can beat anybody. so it is a possibility but realistically i think they would do very well to get that far. england may be in the kinder half of the draw, but tuesday's opponents colombia represent a stern challenge, quarterfinalists at the last world cup. the south americans are also one of the best supported teams here in russia. i

the england manager gareth southgate has dislocated his shoulder whilst out running on a rest day. after their exertion in tunisia. he was treated at a hospital near the team's world cup base in repino and says he's been told by the doctor that "punching the air is not an option", should england score against panama on sunday! the only injury concern amongst his players is dele alli he tweeted earlier a picture of himself at the side of the picture from monday's win against tunisia, being given a hug from his manager, he said he "will do everything in my power to get back to full fitness asap". what have the england team been up to on their day off? saint petersburg isn't too far away, so if you have been sightseeing, jordan henderson, among those making the most of some culture in their downtime. i can assure you that that is exactly what we are doing here in moscow, as well. that's it for me on sportsday, but there is some other sports around, and tim hague has been waiting patiently. we don't know too much about his downtime, do we? the women's t20 world record has been broken t

in russia's 13th century city, gareth southgate is keen to consign past failures to history.want to improve and show people england can play in a better way. we've got technically good players, we want them to get on the ball and express themselves and really attacked again, as we did from the opening minutes of the game the other night. this panama side is organised, their style is, let's say, robust. england can expect a physical test in the heat of nizhny novgorod this afternoon. but, if they play the way they played against tunisia, they should continue to thrill fans back home. that's what everybody wants to see, it excites fans, people who are happy back home to see a team play with such energy and forwardthinking team. so, yeah, keep that going. this has already been a world cup of shocks. defeat today to panama would be right up there. natalie pirks, bbc news, nizhny novgorod. sarah raynsford is there for us. sarah, we might not know much about nizhny novgorod, but we know it will be warm today? it already is. since early this morning we came out onto the streets and

gareth southgate says england won't react counter—productively if they encounter racism at the worldribing walking from the pitch as an "idealistic" response. the england camp have discussed the prospect of facing discrimination in a country where it remains an unresolved issue. more from our correspondent, david ornstein. russia is almost ready with world cup organisers are promising a festival of football. there are those serious concerns, not least over racism. and today, it emerged that england's danny rose has told his family to stay away. will the tea m his family to stay away. will the team leave the field if they experienced abuse? people in and ideas as world would say you should do that and, it seems the realities of that are you being thrown out of the tournament. and so people say, we should do that, and i don't think the players want that in actual fa ct. the players want that in actual fact. it worked all their lives to get to a world cup, so the ideal is that we're able to the issues, but they want to play in the tournament and so it's a very difficult and delicate bal

it's the manager, gareth southgate.r a while. he's been all over the place, hasn't he? we'll find out in one hour. it was meant to be a day off. you only sling when your winning, is how some of the papers are describing it this morning. yes — england manager gareth southgate has crocked himself, out running on their rest day. he'll not be doing any celebrating like this for a while. he dislocated his shoulder, and he apologised to the medical staff who looked after him, for ruining their day off. he apologised to the medical staff because he ruined their day off. posing for pictures. , live with the england camp in the next hour. three games, three wins, the only goal to knock morocco out of the tournament. 3 very underwhelming games but cristiano ronaldo managed to grab the headlines again. he's the tournament's top scorer, with 4 in two games, and has now become the highest scoring european, in men's international football. you'd have to give ronaldo a pat on the back for his goals at the world cup. don't try doing th

it depends on the player, some would like more notice than that, and when it comes to gareth southgateas informed them of who will be in the starting level for the massive opening match on monday night against tunisia. there is a risk if you name aside that early, it leaked out two or three days ago when it appeared the training session england held here was watched by certain members of the media, and the tomb was widely reported it was unlikely to change much from that. some big decisions made by the likes of whichjordan henderson, ashley young appears to have won the battle over danny rose. fabian delph was the man offered up to the media here at a press conference. he will not be expected to be part of this the mica that starting 11. he spoke a little bit about the atmosphere in the squad. we are a close bunch, but once training starts its fiery and spicy, the intensity is there. people are not afraid to dig people up. nothing is ever personal, that's what i found with this squad, and if somebody has got something to say, as long as it's constructive criticism, people take it on th

i have gone for the gareth southgate look. can he take england well into the competition. we know how hard some of these lower ranked teams are to break down. any worries there? i think as long as they go out with their game and stay strong, from the outset, get an early goal, we will be fine. get the first goal and we will be ok. you're all reassured. sterling starts. right choices. i think rashford should make an appearance. i think he isa should make an appearance. i think he is a better chance. would you bring him on anyway, or only if it is looking tough tough? only if it is looking tough tough? only if it is tough. how far will we go in the comp —— competition. is tough. how far will we go in the comp -- competition. quarterfinals. semi—finals. comp -- competition. quarterfinals. semi-finals. managing expectations we think. spirits are high as you can see here. i think things will get more relaxed if a goal or two are in the bag by half time and then the party will start here in newcastle. and of course right around the country. thank you so much. and thank you to yo
