we like st petersburg.ful that players and their families will have the opportunity to go into st petersburg we are not working. we like the fact we can take the hotel just ourselves. i think it is good for the balance of working but also players being able to relax and have some time for themselves. so we're really pleased and looking forward to getting into meeting the community. i feel like we are very relax. i felt like we had done very well up to this point. we played very good football. hopefully, we will get great support out of here and when he gets into that stadium for the first time, and you hear all of the fans, that is when it feels special. 20 years ago it was another striker alan shearer who was leading his country at the world cup scoring on his tournament debut as england beat tunisia 2—0 in 1998, in their opening match. it's the same nation that england face in their opening match this time, and shearer admits a win is a must. they need to get also a good start that person for most of both

st. petersburg -- or perhaps the lack of it.ith the prospect of a global trade war, with all the problems to do with iran, the issues to do with north korea, there is not a lot of trust on the international stage. i am john mickelthwait, the editor-in-chief of bloomberg and i came to st. petersburg to sit down with vladimir putin of russia, emmanuel macron of france, shinzo abe of japan, wang qishan, vice president of china, and christine lagarde with the imf to discuss these issues. i began by asking vladimir putin what he would do to salvage the iran nuclear accord. we all know you want to keep the deal, you say you are a man of action. what actions will you take to keep the iranian nuclear deal alive now? president putin: the so-called iranian nuclear deal has been established by a respective un security council and that is a multilateral, international legal document and it warrants our actions to be predictable. we need to adhere to the common rules. any unilateral action leads into a dead end and is always counterproductiv

by kevin yes we're here in st petersburg ahead of that. game between russia and egypt kick off is just a little under three hours away and the obviously already building there are thousands of fans here. and you can probably tell that's what so that when the day here in the northern city it's actually been lovely weather up until this point only really taking a rainy day and so lots of these funds around me are actually taking refuge under the tree of the victory fogs just next to this increases by stadium and actually it's sold in very good spirits or off the ship should the russian fives here mingling with each other taking photos and selfies with each other really getting into the spirit of things though course. the game really key to both sides because russia will be void by them within the first day and they'll be hoping that if they can get the win done there will be very fun to see though they will go through worse for these generations off to losing to europe in their first game they'll be going to try to get the three points and o

the chance to go into st petersburg when we not working.an take the hoteljust for ourselves, i think that is good for the balance of working but also players being able to relax and have some time for themselves. so we're really pleased with the and looking forward to getting to meet the community there a bit more. so from the tarmac the team boarded the branded world cup bus and they made ali5 branded world cup bus and they made a 45 minute journey here to the forest mix. as you mentioned at the top it is a very quiet and understated location in the gulf of finland, actually. and st petersburg city centre is not far from here so that could be an option for some recreational time because there is little to do around here. as the bus approached the gates there was a huge media turnout and some of the players and the staff were filming the media turnout and then they went inside and they will have plenty of entertainment and leisure facilities there. as for tomorrow after they got some sleep tonight england will train at 9:30am your time. at

told you cannot but he still wants to see st petersburg see the hermitage see the sights so what does he do when he wants to watch all the other games they head to the polls pubs restaurants around the city games being shown live everywhere where's the best place to go is the question take a look. first choice yes it's no secret i'm so going to chose it because it's popular resistance week it's out those who are in the sunshine it's family friendly and there's a great atmosphere here and there's going to be a gulf but a place to enjoy. the excitement of all the folks who think you located just outside the fun so you could wind relax the gentle pull price and the funny side of the no. but maybe some of the sunshine fresh ever since you like it if so a little strange but i understand so let's head to option to go to the pub. this is the way to enjoy the world cup football with a beer some chips. some salty is inspiring global cosmopolitan here. but singularly interesting because there's a clue in the night it's called a hundred yards beyond us because it's long. and it needs to be. on.

but let's head to st petersburg that's where all the excitement is. going to be our correspondent isa ali's over there and i believe events some horrendous downpours that he said that's going to complicate the game when he actually gets under way on the interstate you've spoken to some egyptian fans all day panicking yet they find themselves with zero points they need something out of the sky well they still pretty optimistic. yet it is grating it's windy but it hasn't done for the spirits of those in particular we're seeing you know thousands of them starts in just stream in and the gyptian is making lots of noise with. the russians as well of course in the majority perhaps the knowledge of the two so the rain definitely don't take this spirit in the egyptians that we spoke to. not so much worried but recognizing the fact that if they also have eighty six tests that most really is the key to the sun they have a school. opening game of the two friendlies before the wild card because he's been out so that points to him as being the key now in the past

well, not in st petersburg today. with argentina's world cup hopes hanging by a thread, some looked for divine intervention. but it is messi who remained a beacon of hope to young and old alike, in what has so far been a disappointing world cup for his country. well, it's not long now until kick—off, and these argentina fans are determined that their world cup journey will not attend just yet. —— will not end just yet. facing nigeria, who could also qualify for the knockout rounds, argentina knew they had to win, whilst needing iceland to draw or lose to croatia in the other group game. and with m minutes gone, they got off to the perfect start. commentator: messi collects, messi scorer! their captain repaying the faith of his fans — all to diego's delight. half—time, and a final rallying call, but this has been a tournament beset by claims of unrest in the argentine camp, and after a video review victor moses scored to cast a shadow once more. victor moses on the spot... victor moses rolls at home! victor moses rolls

in st petersburg against egypt, john bennett was there.etween the russian fans and the players. what a difference six days make. back then, all the supporters were bracing themselves for a world cup humiliation. but now they are freely dreaming of magical world cup since 1986. as the regent, the big talking point is still mo salah. his shoulder in history —— injury still didn't look right. egypt fans feel it could've been a different story. he turns them from an ordinary team into a team capable of magic moments but sadly, we be able to see any russia magic. a bit of other news is only recovered from a broken foot in the last couple of months. he limped out of training on tuesday with an ankle problem. he came infor tuesday with an ankle problem. he came in for some really rough treatment, the brazilian federation is stating he should be ok for their next game. sap blatter is in town. russia was awarded this world cup. remember, on his watch, back in 2010. he's been invited here by the president, vladimir putin. he's been allowed to watch

ok if you're wondering why have we moved from moscow to st petersburg well have a listen that's just long good race at this pace as santa comes and they all she she just won the strains of a wonderful cities it's also the northern capital of the country there's always something going on here on the floor we set up agin c.d.'s i wish to do so will be an old and welcome the taste of what lies ahead for the brazil of the costa rica sounds of becoming have a tomorrow's match on the other games but he isn't lined up with a spot in the formosa. to show you no professional. love is the key so how to get international kickabout here i got very lucky that we got fed funds for most of that will do when we got russian azerbaijan to morocco and gentle here from poland this is rough out now he explains why i'm doing this report today. is there a fan see how they got tickets to watch the games even st petersburg be watching poland it will most go because you cannot but he still wants to see st petersburg see the helmeted see the sights so what does he do when he was watching the other games they h

they beat egypt 3—1 in st petersburg, even though the pharoahs had their star man back jim lumsden reportse been rampant, the perfect start for them, the 5— milk hammering will stop in saint petersburg, his was the best chance of the first half. the game burst into life right after the break, and in disastrous egypt's last goal at the world cup with a penalty back in 1990. with a penalty back in egypt's last goal at the world cup with a penalty back in i'm drooling he is the first poll to score a goal of the world cup. you must be very proud. slightly controversial, he had been receiving treatment on the field, caught them on the blind side after coming back on, and poland got one back, left it too late to salvage a draw, that was 2-1 to too late to salvage a draw, that was 2—1 to senegal, that was also the score in betweenjapan and columbia. japan's first win of the world cup on european soil. this was also a little bit of range for them. as you go back to the last world cup in brazil, it was columbia who knocked japan out in the group stages, so japan out in the group stages, so japan ha

yeah they're having a party everywhere on the air and in st petersburg kicked out of one minute into the second half the russian waltz and all go by it's a shocker it's a shocker goalkeepers not getting it away and then it's a shot that goes really wide. of his knee on his knee and actually had he left that he would have gone out for a goal kick not for rush hour one and that is significant because now i believe that that egypt needs to change the tact a little bit and be more aggressive and that is exactly what russia wants because now they can start using that space we have got questions about the russian defense coming into the competition do you think they can hold on to that well no need to just realize if they're even slightly delayed they sort of put the big losses down for a moment and then finally realized thirty seconds minute after school. ok it was always a question i guess i'll say the question well we just listen to this because i spoke earlier to the vice president of mediacom sports and entertaining us michel about how technology you know the stuff you use actually yo
