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 can do, as his team head to the world cup on a high after beating costa rica 2—0. the green, green

substitute marcus rashford had helped regain the initiative for england when he came on in the seconday the manchester united striker told me just how much the result meant. it's unbelievable and i think when you score, there's nothing that really matches scoring a late winner. i think the fans all can sense that and we definitely sense that on the pitch. england were back training today, knowing that a win against panama in their next match on sunday should be enough to secure a place in the knockout stage of the tournament. this youthful, developing squad came to russia as something of an unknown quantity, but having proved they have what it takes to succeed at this level, last night's victory felt like an important first step in england's recovery after so many failures at recent major tournaments. if you don't win that match, there is huge pressure on the second game. so even though there is always going to be pressure in a world cup, it just gives the team a little bit more breathing space in order to go out and be a bit more relaxed and express themselves. england may have had t

that was the chat yesterday, marcus rashford missed training.inly a big worry with one of england's star players, marcus rashford. another star player is harry kane, of course, the captain. how has he been leading the troops? what has he been doing behind—the—scenes to relax his team to get them in the right frame of mind? remember this will be harry kane's first world cup as well so a massive responsibility for him. speaking today was his club team—mate at spurs kieran trippier who obviously had a few nice things to say about his country captain as well. he's a great leader and you can see that on and off the field. a top professional. even off the field, just one—to—ones, speaking to him one—to—one, he is a great person if you ever need help. he is there to help you individually and as a group and there is no better person to lead us out into the world cup. five seconds! kieran trippier speaking from the england team camp at repina, we couldn't get hold of natalie pirks, apology, maybe we will try and get back to natalie pirks late in the prog

elsewhere, england were 2—0 winners over costa rica thanks to goals from marcus rashford and danny welbeckhas just scored a second in the uruguay game over uzbekistan, that from the penalty spot. elsewhere, england were 2—0 winners over costa rica thanks to goals from marcus rashford and danny welbeck. we looked a threat. we had energy, prepped really well. first goal was wonderful, wonderful strike. and we‘ve got real competition for places. so, ifi we‘ve got real competition for places. so, if i look at the three weeks we‘ve had, i couldn‘t be happier with the preparation, you know? physically... tactically, and in the togetherness of the group. in reykjavik, the team who knocked england out of euro 2016, iceland, skipped out to a two—goal lead by half time against ghana. alfred finnbogason with the second five minutes prior to the break, but the african side didn‘t lay down and they scored two second half goals to bring the match level, this strike from thomas just three minutes from full—time seeing it finish honours even. there were also women‘s world cup european qualifiers on thursd

i wouldn't be surprised to see marcus rashford play against panama and it open ended for the rest ofct. it is to deliver. i wouldn't be surprised to see him stay in the team. germany have a lot of big night ahead playing sweden in the late kick—off today. the reigning world champions really need a win if they are to avoid the ignominy of they are to avoid the ignominy of the exit at the group stages for spring and, they lost opening match to mexico who themselves play south korea at 4pm. elton played tunisia earlier in england's group, 1pm. yesterday's results, a couple of great goals, the best from arsenal midfielderfor great goals, the best from arsenal midfielder for switzerland. great goals, the best from arsenal midfielderfor switzerland. he equalised against serbia. from distance, as well. that was 1—1 and later on, the swiss broke right at the end. they went clear to snatch the end. they went clear to snatch the 2-1 the end. they went clear to snatch the 2—1win the end. they went clear to snatch the 2—1 win for switzerland. brazil themselves, they had a stuttering start to thi

perhaps marcus rashford coming in instead of sterling during the game.rfully today. he is absolutely brilliant at these media conferences. asking incredibly calm and getting its point of cross very well indeed. and he said, as i said, no drama. it is not in the team he said. he was very strong and what he believed the media's world to be out here after a debate had raged for a day on social media. let's have a little he had to say. i think everybody would agree, if the opposition have your team in any sport, that is a competitive advantage. but it is not the job of the media to protect that, i accept that completely. as i say, the other day was a list of 23 players. people have taken something from that, which probably isn't correct, but that is it for me. no drama. natalie, i saw first—hand a very, very good belgium site. it crashed tunisia today. i'm not sure what the england players will have made of that. they'll also know that panama did keep belgium quite for 45 minutes. so they really cannot underestimate them. no complacency. absolutely. 0ne unde

the beacon news it seems to suggest that raheem sterling would be dropped and marcus rashford, and forsting that the media needs to decide whether or not they wanted to help the team, the implication being that in some way that had not been helpful. today the manager held his traditional bryon this conference come and he addressed those comments. —— pre—match press conference. they did debate on social media and further afield as well. many members of the public thinking that he was right, various members of the media thinking he was wrong. this is what the manager had to say earlier on today.” wrong. this is what the manager had to say earlier on today. i think everybody would agree, if the opposition have your team in any sport, that is a competitive advantage. but it is not the job of the media to protect that, i accept that completely. as i say, the other day was a list of 23 players. people have ta ken day was a list of 23 players. people have taken something from that, which probably isn't correct, but thatisit which probably isn't correct, but that is it for me. no drama. damn,

raheem sterling for manchester city or marcus rashford for manchester united ?er city or marcus rashford for manchester united? that is not a debate. sterling has had an outstanding season and i don't think southgate will rip up the plan he has got in his head based on one performance. there is obviously a training game on monday. he will play 11 versus 11. i guess if rashford was noticeably superior to sterling in that game then he might be giving the england manager more to think about. i think sterling gets the nod onjune 18. to think about. i think sterling gets the nod on june 18. those are the personnel decisions. the atmosphere of the squad has been talked about as well, particularly since they have been together at st george's park. we're going to show you submit to stop jesse george's park. we're going to show you submit to stopjesse lingard after the game last night. he picked out a sign in the crowd which said please, jesse lingard, give me the shirt. he gave a small boy a shirt. it was the nephew of the person who had the sign up. he posted it on twi

marcus rashford has also made a big contribution in the game against costa rica when he started.formance. 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, and they should be excited about that. you know, they're a young team that are going to get better and better. i really enjoy working with all of them and i'm intrigued to see how far they can go and how well they can play, because i think we saw moments of that the other night and we've got to continue that and keep pushing and driving to be as good as we can be. as you can hear, it's very loud here and will get even louder when kick—off happens. can england make it through to the last 16? that is the big question. let's have a look back at yeste

england still had a golden chance to go level, but marcus rashford missed, and england's first defeattum that was building now been lost? i don't think it's going to affect the morale or the mood. you know, we move on, and there are bigger things ahead. so the understudies were underwhelming, but fans were understanding. tonight's game was a bit nothing, and now the tournament starts. good to give the other lads a runabout. we probably would have preferred to keep momentum going on, but, you know, understand what he's done, and hopefully the boys can come straight back in the team, and go for it in the next game. today he gave other players a chance. why wouldn't we beat columbia, 0k? onwards and upwards, on to moscow we go. the capital has called. next time, though, it is serious. our moscow correspondent sarah rainsford is in kaliningrad's victory square. i tell you what, every time we speak to you it is just glorious there. has everything calmed down after the rebels last night? yes, russia breaking stereotypes even in terms of the weather. it is warm, but pretty deserted and prett

squad is now fully fit and available, and that will be welcome news to gareth southgate, because marcus rashfordt two days of training with a knee problem he picked up prior to the squad flying out from their base at st george‘s park. but he did strain today and he seems to be showing no signs of discomfort. that is positive news, although he might not have started anyway. he might be on the bench. in other news, the newspapers have been reporting that england lined up yesterday in their chosen first choice team. they said that that includes ashley young in the left back position ahead of danny rose and jordan henderson in holding midfield. it is our understanding that at least gareth southgate has not told his bearers of the starting line—up for monday‘s game against tunisia, even if they do feel they are moving towards a decision. one player we think will play it is raheem sterling, and he has been speaking about the imprint of his mother on his career. she told me what things i need to do more, if i had a chance to shoot, and you know, if i had an opportunity, she will let me know. if she is

piece of paper appeared to reveal their hands —— but without raheem sterling would be replaced by marcus rashfordnjured 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 afterwards and this is what he had to say —— kyle walker. media afterwards and this is what he had to say -- kyle walker. if you're trying keep it to yourself and not bring it out to the world, it will not help us, in the later stage of the tournament, if we get there, because all the rest of the world has seen our team because all the rest of the world has seen our team now. because all the rest of the world has seen our team now. you guys have to, do your little bit, so if you could help us in that and be a bit polite. kyle walker backing up his manager's opinion when it comes to the coverage of those controversial lea ked the coverage of those controve

criticised for his performance in england's win over tunisia, has been dropped and replaced by marcus rashford seems set to start in place of the injured dele alli. so what do the players think of the apparent gaffe? we haven't been directly told of who starting and who's not, so i think all the positions are still up for grabs really. until the manager actually names the team then it doesn't matter what's came out or what's leaked or anything like that, because i know that the lads don't really focus on stuff like that until it's come out the manager's mouth. england meanwhile know they could qualify for the knockout stages of the tournament if they beat panama in nizhny novgorod. these are the moments, the last two years that gareth has been working on, to build that team spirit, that strength, that bond. these situations happen. it can be unsettling for the group and this is when it's put to the test. so i hope it won't unsettle them. i'm sure it won't, because they look like a good, strong group. and whoever is selected on sunday, if england are successful again, southgate will have to cha

gareth southgate's dilemma on whether or not marcus rashford will start their opening match at the world have been made a little easier. the manchester united forward did notjoin his teammates for this morning's training session in repino. he's suffering from a slight knee problem and is yet to train since england's arrival in russia, having starred in the final warm—up match against costa rica. it's thought raheem sterling orjesse lingard will be preferred against tunisia on monday. well, the opening ceremony begins at about 3 o'clock this afternoon and sees robbie williams perform what he has described as "a smorgasboard of his greatest hits". that precedes hosts russia against saudi arabia at the luzhniki stadium in moscow. the fixtures have been released for next season's premier league campaign with one big question — who can stop pep guardiola's manchester city from another title? the defending champions will begin their campaign away to arsenal in the tie of the opening weekend. manchester united host leicester city. liverpool take on west ham, while championship winners wolverham

marcus rashford did not take part because he has missed training for a second date, he picked up a knockrting for england against tunisia on monday. england we re against tunisia on monday. england were playing this morning with this star shaped all, it got very competitive, let me tell you. it does seem striking, they seemed to enjoy each other ‘s company, they are happy, relaxed, joking and co mforta ble. are happy, relaxed, joking and comfortable. we are waiting to hear from kieran trippier, the spurs defender, about his first world cup experience. he has to be a shoo—in to start for england against tunisia but there's not much else to report, they are walking around with cups of tea, the players are about to start playing the media at darts in there and we are farfrom playing the media at darts in there and we are far from all the drama and we are far from all the drama and tension. that's just what gareth southgate wanted and that will change on sunday when they fly to mould of ram and england have not won world cup opening match since 2006. natalie pirks with the england tea m 2006

so, jordan pickford, danny rose, john stones philjones, k hill, eric dier, jamie vardy, marcus rashfordinking he wa nts to rashford. the manager thinking he wants to preserve some of his front—line players for future battles. even harry kane is on the bench. the leading scorer in the tournament, the captain. he would wa nt to tournament, the captain. he would want to have started because he wa nts want to have started because he wants the chance for the golden boot. gareth southgate rings the changes. roberto martinez had made nine changes for belgium. that is what it tells 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,

manchester united's marcus rashford staked a determined claim for a place in the starting line up, scoring in their 2—0 win over costa rica in leeds. i wanted him, like the others, to be making mistakes. if they make mistakes, they are trying things. for me, all of our players, if they want to try and be as good as they can be, they've got to try things and we have to accept that could mean the failure but then you get moments like he produced tonight. a bit to sort out but it is great because we want a squad that are playing well and have the spirit that these lads have at moment. england's women can go back to the top of their world cup qualifying group this evening if they avoid defeat against russia. kick—off in moscow is at five o'clock — and it's worth noting that england thrashed russia 6—0 back in september; not that the england coach is taking another win for granted. that's all the sport for now. sorry to cut the sport short, much more this afternoon, but we need to return to our main story, the brexit negotiations, particularly in light of boris johnson's comments negotiations,

there's speculation marcus rashford, eric dier and gary cahill will start though.re top of group g at the moment because they have one less yellow card than the belgians. both teams have the same goal at the moment. after argentina scraped their way into the knock—out stage, the biggest question today is, will germany and brazil make it through? brazil take on serbia later, knowing a win or draw would guarantee their place in the last 16. but germany are in a perilous position, going into their match against south korea in kazan, from where our sports news correspondent alex capstick can tell us more. germany's quest to retain their title is still alive thanks to the dramatic comeback against sweden. it was a farfrom dramatic comeback against sweden. it was a far from perfect performance. more about their mental strength, their determination and their hope to provide momentum, a springboard as they go to the tournament. one of the biggest problems is the counterattack that was afforded by sweden and especially mexico. today they will be without one of their key def

substitute marcus rashford had helped regain the initiative for england when he came on in the secondow much the result meant. it's unbelievable and i think when you score, there's nothing that really matches scoring a late winner. i think the fans all can sense that and we definitely sense that on the pitch. england were back training today, knowing that a win against panama in their next match on sunday should be enough to secure a place in the knockout stage of the tournament. this youthful, developing squad came to russia as something of an unknown quantity, but having proved they have what it takes to succeed at this level, last night's victory felt like an important first step in england's recovery after so many failures at recent major tournaments. if you don't win that match, there is huge pressure on the second game. so even though there is always going to be pressure in a world cup, itjust gives the team a little bit more breathing space in order to go out and be a bit more relaxed and express themselves. england may have had their smallest travelling support for years in vo

the main injury concern was marcus rashford, who picked up a knock to his knee in a behind closed doorsdeparted for russia. since they arrived, he missed both training sessions on wednesday and thursday. today, he returned to the full group and there was a full complement available to gareth southgate. that bodes well. training now really ramps up. it will be behind closed doors tomorrow. that is when perhaps the tea m tomorrow. that is when perhaps the team that is going to start their first match on monday will be set out. speculation that has already happened. i understand gareth southgate is yet to inform his group asa southgate is yet to inform his group as a whole or individuals who will be starting. he is keeping them on their toes. it's all very exciting, this is a fresh england camp. we will be hearing from the players today, part of the openness we are seeing with the england squad that we have never really seen before. there has been such paranoia in the past. this england squad is the third youngest that has ever been to a world cup. that feeling of optimism is high. they tr

criticised for his performance in england's win over tunisia, has been dropped and replaced by marcus rashfordalli. so, what do the players think of the apparent gaffe? we haven't been directly told of who's starting and who's not. so, i think all the positions are still up for grabs, really. up until the manager actually names the team, it doesn't matter what came out, or what's leaked, or anything like that. england chose to base themselves here, on this secluded stretch of the gulf of finland coastline, because of the privacy and security it offered. so this may well be the source of some embarrassment to the fa. but they now have an excellent chance of qualifying for the last 16 of the world cup, and confidence is running high. these situations happen. it can be unsettling for the group. this is when it's put to the test. so, i hope it won't unsettle them. i'm sure it won't, because they look like a good, strong group. and whoever‘s selected on sunday, if england are successful again, southgate will have to change his style of celebration. dan roan, bbc news, repino. well, this is turning
