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

the first half was positive for gareth southgate. te. they gave the fans alike to be helpfulfor going to russia. 0n the other hand, the second half, they were largely outplayed before substitutions disrupted the match. in defence, there'll be questions aboutjohn stones, a rare appearance for the manchester city centre half and manage field will be first choice at the root of world cup. they have not seen jordan choice at the root of world cup. they have not seenjordan henderson because he has not returned to the squad after the champions league final. will the future against costa rica? in the striking department, good to see harry kane on the scoresheet but willjamie vardy fit in? stilla scoresheet but willjamie vardy fit in? still a couple of questions that remain for gareth southgate. talking about some of those other positions, i know we've got this costa rican match coming up on thursday at allen road, goalkeepers. we saw match coming up on thursday at allen road, goalkeepers. we sanordan pickford for only his third cap. do we as

richard test of gareth southgate's young squad. that belgian game was a bit of a rest. the whole squad is in this together. i think the boys played well. the manager made a decision and we all act him. everyone is fighting for places. —— back cam. we are raring to go and looking forward to the next game. honestly after the injury i was frustrated. but i've been doing work to make sure i am back in the line—up and taking penalties after training. the line—up and taking penalties aftertraining. obviously the line—up and taking penalties after training. obviously we don't wa nt after training. obviously we don't want to give too much away. we're confident and looking to change things. what do we think about that tea m things. what do we think about that team against columbia? you think gareth southgate will go back to the tea m gareth southgate will go back to the team he started with against tunisia three matches ago? 21 of the 23 players were on the field today. the only absentees were reuben lost his cheek who was working on his own backin cheek who was working on his o

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

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

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

as gareth southgate suggested earlier on as well.lower —ranked teams. that has been a thing right the way throughout. so there is no way there is any complacency in the way there is any complacency in the way we have prepared for the game. the situation in the group obviously isa the situation in the group obviously is a healthy one for us, but we've got to focus on our performance. england obviously had to rely on that last cast winner by captain harry kane, to overcome tunisia on monday evening. i think that will ta ke monday evening. i think that will take such a great deal of confidence from the performance, they had so many chances of course in that first half. and now are desperate to maintain that momentum. there have of course been lots of talk going into this worked up about how england would fare. there was something of a unknown quantity. i think they have proved a lot with that performance. now theyjust need to carry it through and they now know that because of that win today by belgium early on, that england will qualify

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

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

gareth southgate and eric dyer were watching that game and it was a part of the press conference whereturns to gareth and said, "germany are out." this is what gareth southgate 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 goi

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

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

had time to speak to the manager, gareth southgate.to the rest of the squad by harry kane, and he met all the players including the spurs full—back danny rose who hit the headlines of date because he had admitted that he had suffered from depression. it was triggered by a long lasting injury and a family tragedy. not everybody knew about it including his family, but he also said that playing for england has been his foundation. he praised gareth southgate for helping him to get through. rhodes is expecting to start tonight. it is a bit of a homecoming, because leeds united is where it all began for him. also a huge night ahead for trent alexander—arnold, as well? huge night ahead for trent alexander-arnold, as well? yes, he is due to make his first senior england debut. his first nice moment this evening when he was handed his first england shirt by prince william. it has been a huge few weeks the defender. he played in the champions league final in may. he is 110w champions league final in may. he is now about to make his debut before

i don't expect any less of gareth southgate. he's not going to let the lads off. o many options now. you saw who gareth can bring off the bench, that can change. i think the maturity of the players themselves. we do have another way to go. we have other players who can come on, we have maybe a change, tweaks to a system that can potentially change the game, so yeah. that 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 an english shirt, is a positive and brings something that is so different that he picks it athe ball up and runs straight at defenders. that always scares defenders. and gives us another option. so i think gareth's fortunate there. i wouldn't be surprised to see rashford play against panama and it's 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 h

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

he was great for our entertainment but gareth southgate has kept everybody level—headed and their feetd 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 tunisia england players had not won world cup match and now they have. you can't say they are world cup veterans but they will have been buoyed up by that and they will want to win another match and another and so

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

m you look at how gareth southgate did it in1996, he you look at how gareth southgate did it in 1996,k lampard spoke about it and said it is the most nervous sleep you will have the night before it is you will have the night before it is you are so you will have the night before it is you are so excited but then the nerves, they are naturalfor anyone, is how you handle them. lovely to talk to you, thank you for that insight. did you know it is fabio capello's birthday. happy birthday. we are speaking to frank lampard later. we've had the shock of the tournament so far. world champions germany beaten 1—0 by mexico in moscow. hirving lozano with the goal for mexico, who were brilliant. there were tears at the final whistle too, it all got a bit too much for west ham's javier hernandez at the final whistle. well that mexico goal caused such a celebration in central america that it caused an earth tremor. and the mexican rave even spread to germany. these are pictures from the main fan park in berlin. look at the very brave group of mexican fans going wild right in the middle of the germa

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

selection dilemmas for gareth southgate that they are good ones.hey will be looking forward to sunday. they have a day off tomorrow. the only time they will benefit from that luxury for the entire stay here at the world cup, they will have a bit of downtime, heading to saint petersburg, families can visit, they can go on the golf course. it is full stea m can go on the golf course. it is full steam ahead for sunday and panama. david, i feel really sorry for you. you have to put all your linen water the way for the day. many thanks for the way for the day. many thanks for the updates. you are up—to—date with all the matches today. senegal winners, japan winners. we are looking forward to egypt taking on the host in the next 15 minutes. there is a lot more sport you can see. john watson is there at the sports centre with all of it. news of a thrilling day at trent bridge, where if you were one of the lucky ones to have a seat in the stands you were treated to some huge hitting as england set a new record for the highest score in one day cricket. they

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

gareth southgate rings the changes. roberto martinez had made nine changes for belgium.ells you about this match, they can afford to lose, and maybe it is even better to lose. we can look at the team changes and think it is fabulous that some of those players who might not have thought they would get a game at the world cup, but is there are some extra thinking into this that if they lose some finish second, my word, and much easier path does open up word, and much easier path does open up at the world cup, despite what gareth southgate says. you are right. gareth southgate insisted that winning was better, maintaining the momentum, don't get too carried away with looking ahead. let's chew show you the route to the final if england were to get their if they finish top of this group by beating belgium this evening. they would play japan in the last belgium this evening. they would playjapan in the last 16. in the quarterfinals it would be switzerland or sweden. then russia, denmark, spain or croatia in the semifinals. that means that only two of the top ten teams in the w

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

we have the incident of the dislocated shoulder for gareth southgate. a minor injury scare.team sheet which was revealed at training yesterday — here to look at the fallout from that is our sports editor dan roan in repino. today here at england's training base, gareth southgate was asked about the news yesterday, when steve holland was photographed during training holding a piece of paper which appeared to show team notes, which appeared to show team notes, which may have revealed the starting 11 for the big match on sunday against panama, england's second match of the world cup. that piece of paper appeared to reveal their hands —— but without raheem sterling would be replaced by marcus rashford and that ruben loftus—cheek would replace the injured dele alli. he said they were scored notes, not necessarily the starting 11, but he did say that anything that may give the opposition some kind of help would be a disadvantage potentially and he said it was time for the english media to decide whether or not they wanted to help england. tyler walker spoke to the assembled media

did is job done for gareth southgate's team, they did it with a record score, 6—1 against panama, theynever 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 fourth was special. stones back to finish it. a second goal which gives the centre half more world cup strikes

it's very cold here, that's part of the reason why gareth southgate chose it, so they could train aty, not too hot and not too cold, pretty similar temperature to the uk at the moment. but the temperature climbing of volgograd could be quite a challenge for england at the end of a tough season. and then when they play panama it is many miles away in this new novgorod. then they finish against bolton, far closer to home in kaliningrad, around 25 miles away. —— against belgium. in kaliningrad, around 25 miles away. -- against belgium. i'm sure your russian will get better over the next few weeks! thanks for joining us live from england's training base. former world heavyweight champion david haye has announced his retirement from boxing. it follows his defeat to tony bellew last month for the second time in succession. in a post on social media, the former unified cruiserweight world champion said it's the right time to end his career. as of 12thjune 2018, i am no longer a professional boxer. something i've been since the age of ten. it's a strange thought, but it's a thought i'm very

gareth southgate's team off to the perfect start.menace, jesse lingard squandering a golden chance to make it two. tunisia offered little up front but then kyle walker did this. the defender blunder punished by ferjani sassi from the spot. and he scores. england responded well, harry kane was unfortunate not to be awarded a penalty. but although several more chances were created, time and again they lacked the composure to regain the lead. with tunisia sitting back after the restart, the game slowed and england's few chances restricted to set pieces as frustration mounted. but with time and hope running out, england finally found an answer.m is in from harry kane again! the captain coming to his side's rescue when they needed him most. here is how much the finale meant to the manager. england able to celebrate winning its first opening match at a world cup for 12 years. there are two goal hero delighted. so proud of the lads, it is tough. i thought we played really well and deserved to be ahead. we could have scored a few more. i tho

gareth southgate has described the tie is the biggest knockout game a decade.will be aiming to win their first knockout match since 2006, only the second since 1990 and the sixth since 1966. an enormous opportunity for england. their old foe, the penalty shoot out may come into play and they will need to be ready. last night was their first defeat in more than one year but now against colombia, they know there is no longer any margin for error. david 0rnstein, our sports correspondent there. after the group stages at the world cup. 0n the agenda was the var, video assistant refreee system and how it has been applied for the first time at a world cup, it has certainly played it's part in some of the dramas we've seen, but fifa say its success rate is over 99 percent when it's been used. here's our sports news correspdoent richard conway. no football today at the world cup and that gave caesar an opportunity to talk about refereeing, the video assisted rack refereeing system here and we heard from a former referee, the head of the refereeing committee and we got

gareth southgate will speak tomorrow evening and on monday it is match day. still relaxed? i'm the mood in the england camp still relaxed ? i'm not the mood in the england camp still relaxed? i'm not suggesting they are on holiday, but there seems to be a relaxed theme. it is hard not to be relaxed in a place like this because it is so tranquil. you can see why gareth southgate picked it. england are actually in the forest. it is a 20 minute drive from here. every indication we have had so far is that it indication we have had so far is thatitis indication we have had so far is that it is a relaxed and optimistic camp. it is the third youngest squad england have overtaken to a world cup. none of them have won match at the world cup, also none of them are tired by previous major tournament failures. —— tarred. we will get a sense today, when we speak to them, if the nerves are starting to creep in. there is an ambience around the camp because they have lots of leisure and entertainment facilities. there is a media centre. we have been playing darts with the pl

gareth southgate has said it will not affect his players.benefit to them training here. they trained in repino. they are quite happy that they will be ready for kick—off. lots of speculation about who'll play tonight. we know dele's not going to play but a decision to make up front? well, i think the big issue was whether raheem sterling would be dropped and instead marcus rashford would start. raheem sterling has not scored in 21 games for england. i just hope you can hear this. marcus rashford has also made a big contribution in the game against costa rica when he started. he got a man of the match performance. we understand that raheem sterling will keep his place but i think that is gareth southgate keeping faith with the team that has got them this far. ruben loftus—cheek should start ahead of dele alli because he is injured. gareth southgate was upbeat yesterday in his press conference. it is clear whose side is a very positive mood. history is not the important thing for this team. they have an opportunity to create their own history,

just thinking about belgium and what notes gareth southgate will be reading out of the team. have been working on, how do you think they are looking at the moment and how would you like to see them grow as they progress, hopefully through the tournament?” think the one thing they might have to do is tweak the structure little bit. at the moment it is very offensive and that was always planned, because the opening games we re planned, because the opening games were against tunisia and panama and i think gareth southgate thought it was a good opportunity to be on the front foot and play offensively. i think when they play belgium, there might bea think when they play belgium, there might be a few changes in both teams, because it is strange how it has worked out, they are both qualified and it is not clear whether it is an advantage to be group winners oi’ whether it is an advantage to be group winners or not because germany and brazil could delete the group winners. it will be interesting how he approaches that, he could perhaps rest a few players but going forward , rest a fe

gareth southgate's side will now face colombia on tuesday.ow is morale there? it is high. after all, as you say, england find themselves in what looks like on paper at least the easier side of the draw. they are 110w easier side of the draw. they are now just three wins away from the world cup final itself. wouldn't that be something? equally, by the middle of next week they could find themselves back home because it is win or bust against colombia on tuesday, the biggest game for a decade. gareth has to make decade. gareth southgate has to make his team do something they have 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 j

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

did gareth southgate make the right decision doing that?s and suspensions. i think colombia will be difficult, but i think it was despite the performance last night, it is good moving forward. yes, and as you say, the team was a bit different. harry kane didn't play, was that a good thing? i was surprised there were so many changes because before the game, the talk of momentum was the keyword and they have lost a little momentum making so many changes. i ee, momentum making so many changes. i agree, the game against colombia, it isa game agree, the game against colombia, it is a game england can win. to have a quarterfinal against sweden or switzerland would be great for england. they have in the won six knockout games since 1966. so it is going to be difficult. and i believe i'm making —— in making so many changes, gareth southgate has put pressure on himself. what do you think about pressure? yes, i think so, it was a brave decision to do that and the only positive is every single outfield player has had minutes on the pitch and that is i

gareth southgate was asked a lot about his young inexperienced side.hinking about what is possible. the players of the past and the opportunities of the past are gone. this team is looking at things ina are gone. this team is looking at things in a different way, trying to play in a different way. they have a hungerand play in a different way. they have a hunger and desire. we have better technical players than we have had in the past coming through our academies. there is a real enthusiasm and they are looking forward to getting going.“ england will approach this in a slightly different way. how will tunisia see it? they are nine places below england's —— they are the highest ranked african side. they are organised and crucially, they are organised and crucially, they are confident. it is not the first time england have met tunisia in a world cup game. they last met in 1998 in marseille. there was a lot of violence in the build—up to the match but england ended up winning 2-0. match but england ended up winning 2—0. paul scholes scored the winner. gar
