shearer from england was fouled eleven times by tunisia in that particular world cup you know but i think as long as neymar is healthy you know he will always have an opportunity and create chances there everyone on the team is very good it has a extremely high skill level they won the rio gold medal that olympics so it depends what happens their next game is against serbia so they're going to have to actually bring their a game but a lot of people have them as favorites to actually win the world cup myself included so i'm pulling for neymar all right so you have them over germany and i can explain. jodi places we've been such a on saturdays so we have one of the heads that right now well that's a good question you know the head coach you he love addressed the media on that very topic here's what he told his team dimanche where their heads need to be let's take a listen because for much of your team this yesterday the two most important weapons energy and bodies lying are the team that played mexico was not the team we're using time's up with this self confident approach and playing

let's hear now from alan shearer. he says that southgate's side are well set for a positive tournament in russia.” think everything has been positive for them in the two friendlies they have had, they can take positives from both games. i thought they played very well in the first half in the first one and had a good result. and much the same in the second friendly. so, players have given the manager headaches, is in terms of selection, which is a great problem for gareth southgate. so, yeah, ithink problem for gareth southgate. so, yeah, i think they come into it in positive mood. well, whilst england looked very smart in their suits, they've been totally upstaged by nigeria, who once again lead the way when it comes to fashion at the world cup. this is their travel outfit, an absolute belter! looking hot! they've been selling out those kits as well, and i'm sure they will with those travel outfits, too. the new swa nsea with those travel outfits, too. the new swansea city manager graham potter says he sees relegat

the immortal words of alan shearer, victoria! and controversy in the spain game? yes, there really was. it was a chaotic ending to spain's match with morocco. and actually an injury time equaliser for the spanish allowed them to finish on top of the group, above portugal, thanks again to the video assistant referee! spain were 2—1 down when iago aspas scored a brilliant late goal, which was initially disallowed for offside. they were going to lose the game. but after the replays were studied spain got the draw, they finished top of the group. and the thoughts of many football fans summed up after the match by morocco's nordin amrabat. ican i can tell you what he said, but it was not very nice. —— i cannot tell you what he said. those results mean spain will face russia in the last 16, and portugal will take on group a winners uruguay — who beat the russians 3—nil yesterday. and that is it from me for now — should we really be testing technology in the biggest football tournament on the planet, victoria? i'd love to hear what the viewers think about it.

we stock gary lineker when it back in 1986, but here‘s alan shearer about that race that harry kane is in now. for some players, the starc to be life—changing. you come in as harry kane, if he goes away as harry kane world cup golden boot winner, that‘s life—changing for someone. and as i said, when goals are going off the back of your heel, you know you have a chance. the important thing to remember is that if you're going to progress in a world cup, you need someone progress in a world cup, you need someone to bang the goals. no matter what you do or how you set up, he is the man we really need in crucial moments, and we haven't had these crucial moments yet, but harry kane will be the man you put your money on. it certainly made the difference for england. they're heading home from that group with ten is you. belgium and england will be going through to the last 16, they will be playing a team from group h. and we will see all the teams play each other the second match of the day is under way in ekaterinburg, two hours ahead of us east of here in russia, is between japan ahead
