after impressing for swansea city tammy abrahams started up front, he came close but like germany englandldn't find a breakthrough and it finished goalless. really encouraging team performance. some encouraging individual performances. we played a top team, had a few problems early in the game. but jordan made some super saves, and we really showed good composure with the ball. their system caused us a few problems, i was caused a few problems. but we created some really good chances. wales were beaten by an impressive looking french team in a friendly in paris. this neat volley gave the hosts the lead, although wales and the new generation of young players impressed at times, olivier giroud of arsenal made it 2—0 with the severed. lu ka ku of arsenal made it 2—0 with the severed. lukaku equalled the all—time belgians scoring record after scoring twice in their friendly 3—3 draw with mexico. belgium are now unbeaten in 1a matches, through to the world cup finals in russia next summer. that was lu ka ku finals in russia next summer. that was lukaku in action. the autumn international rugby

tammy abraham said words couldn't describe his feelings. how old is he? 19.ed that into the team. it's good they are getting a chance. tammy abraham is did fantastically last year. can you explain a game, i always get confused. the under 17 squad... they have to be under 17. but he wasn't part of it. it won't be long before they bring in either younger players! i know some primary players who are good! well, they are signed up at the age of seven or eight. do you want to see some rugby in of seven or eight. do you want to see some rugby - in the bath? see some rugby players in the bath? all right! or in all right! orina all right! or in a pool... they are in the papers this morning. england's rugby stars playing a bit of water polo. the water looks black! i'm sure it's just the lighting. talking about their pools, this is their draw of 2019. i see what you did there! notjust a pretty face. they have a great draw. they will face tonga. before that they face france and argentina. wales start with yourjob and scotla nd wales start with yourjob and scotland kick—

swansea striker tammy abraham called up swansea striker tammy abraham called up after five goals this hopes there is a way back for ben stokes. the influential all—rounder was excluded from the upcoming ashes series after his arrest back in september. i‘ll have more no stories just after half past. —— more on the those stories. the state prosecutor in spain has asked a court to issue a european arrest warrant for the former catalan president, carles puigdemont, after he failed to attend a court hearing. mr puigdemont has travelled to belgium along with four members of his cabinet, saying the climate in spain wasn‘t good. they‘re facing charges of rebellion and sedition for trying to declare independence for catalonia from spain. two men have been charged with negligence following the deaths of three soldiers after an s—a—s selection march in the brecon beacons. lance corporal craig roberts, lance corporal edward maher and corporaljames dunsby died — after attempting the 16 mile march on the hottest day of 20—13. a coroner ruled parts of the planning and conduct of the march were inade

the other end, after impressing as swansea this season, tammy abraham started up front. and the game finished 1—0 0—0. really encouraging team performance. some encouraging individual performances. a top team, had a view problems early in the game. but managed to —— jordon problems early in the game. but managed to ——jordon meets problems early in the game. but managed to —— jordon meets super saves, and we really showed good composure with the ball. their system cause us composure with the ball. their system cause us a composure with the ball. their system cause us a few problems and the other way round. but we have created is a really good chances. wales were beaten by the impressive looking france in a friendly in paris. antoine griezmann‘s volley that gave the dominant hosts the lead, and although the match offered some welsh hope, with a new generation of young players such as arsenal's olivier giroud, making it 2-0 with arsenal's olivier giroud, making it 2—0 with a deflected effort. wales mist out on a place in qualifying and will not finish in the world cup next

at the other end, tammy abraham started up front, he came close, like germany, but england didn't makeished 0-0. really encouraging performance, really encouraging performance, really encouraging individual performances. we played a top team, had a few problems early in the game, but managed, jordan made some super saves, but then we showed good composure with the ball. system cost them a few problems, and the system caused us a few problems. wales were well beaten by impressive france in a friendly in paris... antoine griezmann's neat volley gave the dominant hosts the lead. although the match offered wales hope, with the emergence of a new generation of young players, arsenal's 0livier giroud, made it 2—0 with his deflected effort. wales of course won't feature at next year's world cup, they missed out on a place in the qualifying play offs, when they were beaten by the republic of ireland. the first leg of their qualifying play—off against denmark is tonight in copenhagen. meanwhile sweden beat italy 1—0 in the first match of their play—off in stockholm. substitute jacob johansson s

tammy abraham played well.eats in a row in the club, three defeats in a row in the premier league and last season we saw the swansea fans turn against two managers. but paul clement under pressure, because they're in the bottom three. snier when the goal went in, we —— — when the goal went in, we lost our shape and identity. in the second half we had two big chances. blocked oi'i half we had two big chances. blocked on the line and a fantastic chance at the end. but over all, the performance is disappointing. when i look at the team, i see a team that is really low in terms of confidence. i see a crowd that's very frustrated with what they're seeing. but there is no one more frustrated and disappointed than me. if you can stay in the game, you have always got that chance. we know there are going to be games where there are going to be games where there aren't going to be masses of chances. we have got to make sure that the few that perhaps we have we have got to be clinical with them. four draws and have got to

ruben loftus—cheek is 21 years old and tammy abraham, 20 years old, the chelsea striker on loan at swanseaes this year before england play two more friendlies in march and then the world cup squad is named, but the england fans will get a chance to see some new faces. as well as seeing the new faces, there is new technology on show tonight. many people are reflecting on northern ireland's disappointment with the debatable refereeing decision in their world cup play—off last night but there will not be any of those problems hopefully tonight? that northern ireland decision would have been amended with video assisted referee system which will be used here. the first time it has been used in an official match in the uk. it is to correct major errors in match changing moments such as goals, red cards or penalty situations. it will be really interesting to see how that plays out tonight. it is a controversial system. also, england will be wearing poppies, germany as well on an armband. they did it lasted and they were punished for doing so, but are the rules mean it will be allowed and remembra

kane was kicked in the leg in that match and his absence may mean a first start for 20—year—old tammy abrahamd like to grab it as much as i can. ifeel like i'm ready but like i said, it won't be easy, i have to prove to the manager in training why he picked me and keep working as hard as i can. 1—0 up, with the other side down to ten men, non—league chorley must have thought they were in the second round of the fa cup. but fleetwood town, who play three divisions higher, equalised and then this late goal from jack sowerby broke chorley hearts. the second round draw was made last night and sees giantkillers boreham wood go to coventry. it's known as the race that stops a nation, and it was a great one for ireland. in a thrilling sprint to the finish, the melbourne cup in australia was won by the 14/1 shot rekindling, giving jockey corey brown his second triump in the event and a first for trainerjoseph o'brien. johannes vermeer and max dynamite made it an irish 1—2—3. the organisers of a men's tennis tournment have been forced to apolgies after the players' draw was criticised for being sexist
