that will be no easy decision, willett, for phil neville? before we go let's return to tonight's big match in amsterdam. it'll be the biggest match either spurs or ajax have played for a long time. and we've been to meet a group of supporters who have a love for both clubs. amsterdam spurs are the supporters group of choice for tottenham fans in the dutch capital, and alex gulrajani went to meet them. you wouldn't expect to see the badges of two champions league semifinal rivals are side by side on the same flag. there is something different about tottenham and ajax. there is a lot of commonality between the two clubs about how and when they were formed. there are a lot of shared managers and players. they don't compete regularly against one another so there is a natural friction between both clubs. maybe it isa friction between both clubs. maybe it is a natural way of being able to support two very similar clubs in different countries. the supporters group amsterdam spurs is an example. the chairman was born in holland but spent his formati

england women's manager phil neville blamed what he described as a "messy performance" by his side ong that included camping with the royal marines. england won their penultimate warm up match ahead of the world cup beating denmark 2—0 in walsall. nikita parris scored the opening goalfor england just before half—time, but it was a far from flawless performance from phil neville's side. jill scott added some gloss to the scoreline but they were outplayed for long periods by denmark. england play new zealand next week before their world cup campaign starts onjune 9th. the second tennis grand slam of the season begins today, as the french open gets under way. british number one johanna konta begins her tournament tomorrow, against german qualifier antonia lottner. konta has never won a match at the french open, but she might be one to watch, as russell fuller explains. she has been heading in the right direction for a while but she hadn't really got the results into events. six wins out of six in a great britain vest in the federation cup in february and april, and winning some matches i

good luck to both the nevilles. time for a look at the weather with louise lear. it is beautiful out there at the moment, especially across the south—east, the east anglia corner. but this where the front is bringing showery outbreaks of rain for the rest of england. we could see some brighter skies late in the afternoon. the best of the sunshine into northern ireland, and again in that south—east corner, but we can't rule out a rogue sharp shower, but temperatures already into the mid teens, so high teens not out of the question. some of the showers will start to fade away through the evening, and that week where the fund will push its way into east anglia and the south—east corner, don't get too excited, no significant rain for the gardens. and behind it, clearerskies, temperatures falling away, and a weather front will bring more cloud and rain into the far north of scotland. that will be a player later on this week. it has some significance as well. but for tomorrow it is a lovely start, some sunshine coming through, and then we really start to see some shower

manager tracey neville has named her 12 player england squad — eight of whom were part of the gold medal games. vice—captainjade clarke was a part of that success and says there's no reason why it can't be repeated in the world cup. i feel like a ifeel like a kid i feel like a kid again, ifeel like a kid again, having a home world cup, it's so exciting more than ever, it's always special playing in front of the home cloud and it's been an emotional day and eve ryo ne and it's been an emotional day and everyone is excited and we cannot wait to come at that cloud is all—time, it's like every little thing you do and reception and shot, we met the cloud will go absolutely mental, all the angling games are sold out which is amazing so it's to be epic. next month it's also the women's football world cup in france and england and scotland get their campaigns underway when they face each other in nice onjune the 9th. this week the england players were surprised by the marines at their st george's park training base — and it made for an interesting experience. it was awful! a lot of the girls did

there's now less than 50 days to go before the start of the netball world cup, tracey neville has namednwealth games gold in australia last year. vice—captainjade clarke was a part of that success and says there's no reason why the hosts can't repeat that in liverpool thisjuly. i feel like a ifeel like a kid i feel like a kid again. ifeel like a kid again. having i feel like a kid again. having a home world cup is always so special putting on the red dress in front of your home crowd so it has been an emotional day. we can't wait. that crowd is all—time, like the eighth player. everything you do, every interception every shot that goes m, interception every shot that goes in, the crowd will go mental. all england matches are sold out and that will be awesome. mercedes once again dominated at practice for this weekend's monaco formula one grand prix which will be the first race since the death of former triple—world champion niki lauda. lewis hamilton was fastest in both of thursday's sessions, with teammate valtteri bottas second. ferrari's sebastian vettel was third but way off the pac

both neville 's played sport at the highest level.when you are younger. what was the neville household like? daly we were very busy family. two rounders was monday night, tuesday night was soccer, cricket was saturday and sunday all day, and we would repeat that for the next six months, and then into the next six months, and then into the winter, we would go football training tuesday, football training wednesday, annette mulligan on thursday. so that was our lives, we we re thursday. so that was our lives, we were never at home. we created a family roster that actually has really kept us going now and get us a strong through probably some of the hugest as opponents we have had. but also some of the huge successes as well. england have done it! and one of those golden moments or tracy codes the roses to commonwealth glory in australia last year, while phil led the lionesses to the she believes title in march. next step will be selecting their squads for the summer's world cup, where they will be delivering good and bad news to players.

a day to remember for the squad, and david beckham, ryan giggs, nicky butt, and gary and phil nevillenow. kilmarnock are back into third. they beat hibs1—0. eamonn brophy with a 32nd minute penalty. aberdeen had earlier gone third with a win over hearts. kenny miller scored the only goal for already relegated dundee who ended a run of ten straight defeats with victory at livingston. stjohnstone secured seventh place with a comfortable victory over nearest rivals motherwell. and it finished 1—1 in the game between inverness and ayr united in the scottish championship playoff quarterfinal. inverness win 11—2 on aggregate to go through. they face dundee united in the premiership play—off semifinal. arsenal women secured the women's super league back in april in front of a new record wsl crowd of 5,265. they've dominated all season, losing only twice. and today, they beat manchester city 1—0 to end city's unbeaten season. arsenal finishing their campaign with 18 victories in 20 games. miriam walker—khan has more. the gunners have waited seven years to lift the wsl trophy. that is a long t

head coach tracey neville will announce her 12—strong squad on thursday. really well, and i would be part of it, but still, hopefully it still there in spirit, and hopefully i'll be able to watch one of the games if i don't end up crying like this. but yeah, i'm definitely disappointed, but it's, i don't know that that's a performance sports. sometimes you win, and sometimes you don't. boxing fans, like me, may be dreaming of a superfight between deontay wilder and britain's anthony joshua one day. and the american continues show why it would be so hotly anticipated. he's added to his incredible record with a first round knockout of his countryman, dominic b reazea le. wilder now has 41 winds from 42 fights, with a single draw against britain's tyson fury. meanwhile, joshua fights next against andy ruinr on the 1st ofjune in new york. i'm an intelligent fighter in the ring, they say speed is power, if you have power on top of speed, it's, i don't know what to call my right hand any more. the hammer of thor! the hammer of thor! the hammer of thor! the hamme
