ran out, i think it was 40-11 pickford ran out, i think it was 40—11 over the three darts shoot out against me. but i would have won if my final dart had not ricocheted off a bit of wire and the floor. enough, enough david. i still maintain that i could have made it. i am bubbling. we are bored. you lost. it is 2— is to have made it. i am bubbling. we are bored. you lost. it is 2—0 to the england players for the england camp. we will be back tomorrow, on sports day. we‘re just a few minutes away from the first really big match of this world cup as old rivals spain and portugal meet in sochi. it‘s been a chaotic build—up to the tournament for spain after coachjulen lopetegui was sacked on wednesday afterjoining real madrid 2a hours previously. i‘ve been speaking to england‘s 1990 world cup captain terry butcher about his thoughts on morale in the spanish camp. what kind of state and spain going to be in as their sporting director looks after them? a former spain player? i spoke to terry butcher a little bit earlier. he does not think they will be affected at all. loads

further into the tournament and just as well thatjordan pickford does not get ahead of himself. he had to keep him at bay. england seemed distracted and eight team with changes made few chances. there are so many links between these nations when he was at manchester united there was talk he could qualify for england. here is a moment of belgium quality two and the apathy but however many times that skits replayed and re—tweeted, perhaps he hoped the cameras would miss it. jamie vardy put him in and he had time and space but not the right angle. the longer the game went on but the more convinced belgium were convinced they wanted to finish top after all. and defeating england may have stumbled onto a smoother path but the time for stumbling is now over. if we win again tonight, we will be certain that the reality of where we are might not have been in people's minds but we know where we are and we know how immaculate we have to be to win matches against the very best teams. we have those challenges to come but that was our objective when we started the three matches. we achieve

we sanordan pickford for only his third cap. do we assume he will be number one in russia? there is a feeling that gareth southgate's preference has a lwa ys gareth southgate's preference has always been the everton goalkeeper jordan pickford. he loves his distribution, his calmness despite his tender years. he seems to be currently the man in possession of the shirt. it will be interesting to hear southgate's comments in his press c0 nfe re nces hear southgate's comments in his press conferences which are going on behind us at wembley now as to whetherjack butland, behind us at wembley now as to whether jack butland, stoke behind us at wembley now as to whetherjack butland, stoke city, will get a at allen road —— allen road. nick pope travelling there much is the third keeper. it seems the everton keeper will be that man, there is nothing to many doubts about it. you get the will start against tunisia. the squad numbers have not yet been announced.” against tunisia. the squad numbers have not yet been announced. i was going to say, perhaps things will be a little bit

this time it was our very own, david 0rnstein, on the oche against pickford. is there he's a handy footballer is our 0rno — pub games less his style, pub games less his style, as pickford added to gary cahill‘s win, on thursday a day injust doing a a day in just doing a formal match? it's becoming a formal thing. getting around back? one player now one player, who's been the focus of plenty of media attention, in the build up to russia 2018, is raheem sterling. timekeeping, and tatttoos the focus. well ahead of their match, against tunisia, he's been telling gabby logan, that it's not just gareth southgate, who's been giving him, some tactical tips — his mum has been chipping in too. she would just tell me what i need to do more, if i have the chance to shoot. if she is anything like me as a sports mum, you find other people we should have helped your son more. though she do that? she will be like, dell could have passed you there. her main one is getting in there. her main one is getting in the box. you need to get in the box more. cast your mind back a

we put this idea to jordan pickford. the group stages? we put this idea to jordan pickford. i feel if we win every game it keeps building and building and we know that belgium is a top opponent and we need to be on oui’ a top opponent and we need to be on oura game. a top opponent and we need to be on our a game. and our squad in the camp want to win every game we play. belgium have been having fun in the training session. you might have seen training session. you might have seen on training session. you might have seen on social media about of head tennis. they completed the challenge and were ecstatic. england will hope they will not be celebrating come thursday evening. they have also been speaking. they have been looking ahead to the match against england. i think first of all the belgian team wants to win every game and do the best. second of all i think you want momentum as well because we are the winning mood. it is not going into gear and thinking it was better to lose, it does not work like that, we'll risk of 100% will try to win that game. you should win against

david, i know thatjordan pickford was possessed of everyone, they were all celebrating that big win for him. but will he be celebrating now? will he be one of those players who has found out, got the knock rooftop on the shoulderfrom has found out, got the knock rooftop on the shoulder from gareth southgate that they are in against to his yeah? welcome back to the gulf of finland, a picture of calm, no thunder claps here. but in the distance behind me in the dense forest, england are getting ready forest, england are getting ready for their final sleep before departing for a photograph. and today, they trained behind close doors, that is the first time they been able to enjoy that luxury survey landed in russia. that have allowed disallowed gareth southgate to work on hisjoe's information for the first game. we don't know exactly who will be filling what position, but we know that the entire squad have now been informed of their roles, so they know where they stand, whether starting on the bench were not involved at all. if reports are to be believed, jordan pickford will be in goal, wi

someone like jordan pickford, it they are still in your face. someone likejordan pickford, it could be difficult weather is not much for him to do. the last thing england to need is a bad start of the course because they haven't won an opening match in a world cup since 2006. they are the least experienced and the youngest side at this tournament. but because of that it means they are not, gareth southgate says, held on the shackles, they are free of the shackles of the past, those shaky start stuffing and tend to have. it means they will go out, be bold and fearless. let's listen to what he had to say in his press conference last night. the future is ahead of them and they have to be thinking about what is possible. the players of the past and opportunities of the past are run. this team is looking at things in a different way, trying to play in a different way, trying to play in a different way. they have a hunger and desire. better technical players than in the past coming through our academies. there is a real enthusiasm and they are looking

media at darts today, fa ns took on the media at darts today, fans will be hoping goalkeeper jordan pickford carries his form from the hockey onto the page. this relationship between the team and press hasn't always been this good. brilliant! yes! it was on this day in 96 that we saw this memorable celebration in england's history following headlines about that team's drinking culture. from water bottles still water sprinklers, the players and press that sold an overzealous groundsman today as striker marcus rashford returned to training. part of a new england world cup build—up involves one of garrett's southgate the media attempted to get his starting 11 what's with this new system he favours it does mean key positions are still up for grabs. 0ne favours it does mean key positions are still up for grabs. one man with more than a fighting chance of playing is raheem sterling, the manchester city star performance in the last world cup is one of the only points in an abject campaign. after a standout season being with england again has given the 23—year—old a chance for refraction of hi

he beat me14— cadle and jordan pickford beat me yesterday. he beat me 14— 11 so i don't want to talk much more about that. and i was being sympathetic. i didn't want the england number one to suffer his first defeat and hopefully, things will continue to go well. all now fully fit and closer to knowing the team from monday. any closer? the training session is fully behind closed doors. the team will line up as they start in volgograd against tunisia on monday but we won't be able to see that. there are suggestions carrots out —— southgate is clear. he hasn't yet communicated back to the players and might not do so until they are in volgograd. we will hear from the media until they are in volgograd. we will hearfrom the media centre until they are in volgograd. we will hear from the media centre closer to the team training centre. tomorrow, they will fly. that will be a training session followed by a flight training session followed by a flight to volgograd. the waiting continues. peru will be making their first appearance, at a world c

i played against jordan pickford, i lost. the media are losing 3—0. there is also tenpin bowling and table football in the media centre. and in their hotel they have facilities, computer games, basketball courts, swimming pools. it is very relaxed, the media are allowed to mingle with the players and it has created a lot of goodwill. that is what we can say. we don't know how they will perform on the pitch. gareth southgate has informed the players, they know where are standing now. there is no indecision, everybody knows if they are playing, if they are on the benchjohn not involved. they can prepare mentally for that match. i think that is something that past coaches might not have done. fabio capello, one of the previous managers, didn't tell the players untiljust managers, didn't tell the players until just before managers, didn't tell the players untiljust before the match in one of the major tournaments. i can hear them laughing and joking. it's interesting that fabian delph, in his press conference, said well we are in training things are serio

we also managed a few words with the jordan pickford. a huge boost for him after being given the number one jersey. everyone's talking about and experiencing all that, but we have been experienced through the groups and the majority of the lads i have known playing for england anyway, so we have experience in ourselves already. so i feel like we have the quality and the ability and if you look around here, the ability is there. that is it from st george's part. tomorrow, we hearfrom gareth southgate because on thursday, and lip of the final warm—up match against costa rica in leeds. then on tuesday, they had off to the world cup for real. at that point, the real fun and games cup for real. at that point, the realfun and games begin. anchor: they do indeed. so we're just nine days away from the start of the world cup, but some moves are being made by the top premier league clubs before the possibility of inflated transfer fees later this summer. the brazil boss tite said he wanted his players' club futures to be decided before the tourn

today gareth southgate gave his biggest indication yet that goalkeeperjordan pickford will be his first choice in in russia. the everton keeper has been given the number one jersey following the release of today‘s squad numbers. the team play costa rica on thursday at elland road before departing for russia next tuesday. that said, you can‘t read too much into the numbers. the last time that england started a world cup game with squad numbers one to ii on the field was 1970. you can see the whole i to 23 on the bbc sport website. forget one to ii, leroy sane hasn‘t been given a shirt number at all. the manchester city forward omitted from the germany sqaud altogether, despite his efforts in manchester city‘s record—breaking season. he scored ten goals and was awarded with the pfa young player of the season award. but the germany coachjoachim low finding no place for him in his 23—man squad. the german fa wasting no time in removing his face from advertisments promoting their participation in the world cup. his omission clearly so much of a surprise it‘s caught them out. th

jordan pickford was given the number one shirt but we know that does not guarantee him a starting place with jack butland breathing down his neck and nick pope is number three. gareth southgate showed some of his thinking when england beat nigeria on saturday but now he has a final chance against costa rica at elland road tomorrow. it kicks off at 8pm and we can expect plenty of changes before the first match in volgograd against tunisia on monday the 18th ofjune against tunisia on monday the 18th of june with southgate against tunisia on monday the 18th ofjune with southgate saying that places are still up for grabs. for sure jack butland played in goal, we will make a lot of changes. at some point frank alexander will get his debut. —— trent alexander—arnold one of the keys to these matches, we always adding up mind that we wanted every player in these good to have significant game time. every time a player, club or international, has ten minutes on the field or 90 minutes, they have an opportunity to make a statement in the way they play and the way that they tactically embrace

they continue to testjordan pickford while england did their best to create opportunities of their own. as substitutions were made, the spark was taken out of the match but england held on to win 2-1. match but england held on to win 2—1.0ne match but england held on to win 2—1. one more stop line before russia. the first half was one of the best performances i have been involved in with england. scored two goals. the topside. second half, we could have done better. to that while to get used to the change in formation. something we have to work on going into the tournament. 0verall, on going into the tournament. overall, a pleasing performance and a very good win. to the second day of the second test between england and pakistan at headingley. it was a wet start in leeds with the morning session lost to bad weather, but england closed on 302 for 7, a first innings lead of 128 — nightwatchman dom bess made a9, captain joe root 45 and jos buttler ended unbeaten on 34. buttler benefitted from being dropped on four by pakistan's hasan ali. kyle edmund's french open is over, the briti

jordan pickford has got the nod in goal. will he be first choice now? eric dier is shoring up midfield, with captain harry kane in front of dele alli, jesse lingard and raheem sterling. these are the goals that saw england go in 2—0 up at half—time. trippier with a corner that cahill met superbly, to find the top corner. and harry kane rifled in a second, but the keeper perhaps could have done better. straight after the break, nigeria, who are also russia—bound, pulled one back. former watford striker odion ighalo hit a post, arsenal's alex iwobi put away the rebound. plenty more football to come later in the programme because we do know scotla nd in the programme because we do know scotland are in mexico for their friendly a little bit later. let's move to paris, where kyle edmund's french open came to an end today. it's the second year in a row that he has gone out in the third round. he was beaten by the italian fabio fognini. it was a topsy—turvy five set—match, with both players nursing injuries. in a moment, we'll hear from our tennis co

butland or pickford in goal? just some of the decisions that may need to be made between now and the 18th ofjune when england play tunisia in their first match of the tournament in russia. we have got competition right across the board and i made that clear to the board and i made that clear to the players before the game, and they put on a superb performance. there is a bit to sort out but that is great, because we want a squad that are playing well and that have the spirit that these lads have at the spirit that these lads have at the moment. let's speak to the daily mail's chief sports reporter matt lawton who was at elland road to see england's win last night. i don't know if you are like me, but when you have conversations about who might start in that 11 for england, you have a conversation that it runs up to 15 names plus. what decisions will gareth southgate be focusing on for the next ten days? i think he has got a couple of fairly big ones. the make—up of his defence is interesting. i thought philjone

jordan pickford will start in goal. kyle walker on the right ofjohn stones, ashley young has been preferred to danny rose at left wingback. jordan henderson preferred as the anchorman in midfield. lingard, sterling and kane up top. two changes to the team which beat nigeria at wembley. and it means that nine players are being handed world cup debuts, it is the least experienced and the youngest of any of the 32 teams here at the world cup. and of course one of the shoo—ins was dele alli, who already has 25 caps. and he has been speaking to gabby logan about how different this team is to 2016 and crucially what has changed. last time it felt like everyone was getting on really well. it has been really good, there has been a real positive feeling, everything has beena positive feeling, everything has been a lot clearer. in what way is a nap how we want to play. that comes from the manager? yeah, it is about being together, if we come up against a being together, if we come up againsta certain being together, if we come

was england‘s first true test of the tournament and it forced the first meaningful save out ofjordan pickford. though after half—time the step—up in quality began to tell. adnan januzaj, the former manchester united winger, with a piece of wizardry. billed as a match neither side desperately wanted to win, it almost seemed belgium were beating themselves up for taking the lead, a lead that would have been lost had marcus rashford found the target. england second best on the night and in the group. it is disappointing but at this stage of the tournament we have to think positive and coming into the next is obviously a huge game. the country has not won a knockout game in a long time so for us to do that would be something special. england returned to their base in the small hours to begin preparations for the big test ahead — colombia in the last 16. they will meet in moscow on tuesday evening. quarterfinalists four years ago, colombia are raucously supported in russia. england will not have it easy. we were very scared about the next round because belgium and england were our rivals but

they continue to testjordan pickford while england did their best to create opportunities of their own. as substitutions made the spark went out of the match but england held on to win 2—1. one more stop before russia as face costa rica in elland road on thursday. to the second day of the second test between england and pakistan at headlingley. it was a wet start in leeds with the morning session lost but england closed on 302—7, a first innings lead of 128. nightwatchman dom bess made 49, captain joe root 45 and jos buttler ended unbeaten on 34. buttler benefitted from being dropped on four by pakistan's hasan ali. kyle edmund's french open is over, the british number one was knocked out of the tournament earlier today — losing in five sets to the italian 18th seed, fabio fognini. edmund reached his first grand slam semi—final and broke into the world's top 20 for the first time this year. but he couldn't go any further in paris on his preferred surface. fognini will play croatian third seed marin cilic in the next round. it was not my day. i had my chances and he had his chan

well done for letting jordan pickford beat you in darts! away from the world cup, the world number one in golf, dustinjohnson, is the only player on the park at the halfway point of the us open. some of the big names failing to even make the cut. included in that bunch, going home early, is rory mcilroy, who finished ten over par, four off the lead. joining him is sergio garcia and justin des. tommy fleetwood is just five off the pace. we should know soon if andy murray is fit enough to play at queen's clu b is fit enough to play at queen's club starting on monday. the former world number one played some practice sets yesterday. he had a hip operation in january practice sets yesterday. he had a hip operation injanuary and has not played since wimbledon last year. you feel if he does not play at queens he might get a chance at eastbourne but he's leaving it late to get ready for wimbledon. it wouldn't be the same without him. we have everything crossed he will be 0k have everything crossed he will be okfor have everything crossed he will be

protection of the team is what i can say is that i spoke to jordan henderson jordan pickford and also just feeling god as well after the march there and they were all talking about the team spirit about the camaraderie that's come together in this england squad and i asked jordan henderson what it was like to have pulled only the captain's armband at the end there when hurricane went off after how tricky was it like to be captaining the england side in the biggest ever world cup win and he just busted out to one side or went straight back to this being about the team this isn't a team of england players that have perhaps some of the and i want to be generous people have some of the egos that we saw in the past there isn't the clique's between clubs that we've seen in the past so yes i'm hopeful i would love to see it here i would love to see it any world cup but here in russia in particular that would be special for me and hopefully england can go all the way there he let's keep that positive energy i think it was there ninety ninety eight was a world cup in ninety eight and we had to

that team is still largely unbeaten there were a couple of players, jordan pickford and john stones played in the england team that did lose yesterday, but the majority of the players who played in the first two games have not lost in the world cup momentum is still with them. yes, the argument is out there that they should have gone out to win every game, because of the momentum they had to beat belgium, and then japan. then if they were to face brazil in a quarterfinal, then they could have had that momentum that way harry kane and raheem sterling, and kyle walker, they have not lost a game at the world cup so every chance they can feel positive colombia, very key to point out, they may well be without one of their key player, james rodriguez who came off their 1-0 win against senegal yesterday. >> somebody tweeted me and made a good observation that only one latin american country is out now, that's peru so it looks as though there's a decent probability that we could get a latin american winner. >> like i said five times brazil have won the trophy, twice uruguay have won the trophy. ar

with just three caps to his name, jordan pickford almost became a hero. and he scores, right in the corner. would england have a heart to fight back? some tunisian tackles were more suited to the rugby field, and yet more english chances fell by the wayside. as they went to town, england were lacking bite. we have seen how this one ends too many times, or had we? maguire went for it, and it is in from harry kane again. two goals to the captain. that could make a huge difference to the way this world cup goes for england. talk about a release of tension. it went down well back home, as well. iwanted tension. it went down well back home, as well. i wanted to prove myself at every big stage, every big moment, so it was nice to get a goal early, and no better way to win the game in the last few minutes. well that was england's first world cup opening match wins since 2006, and didn't they looked elated ? opening match wins since 2006, and didn't they looked elated? they have learnt some important lessons, as well, chiefly that carelessness can cost. our mosco

however, jordan pickford is expected to be first choice in russia. izzy christiansen and jordan nobbs have withdrawn from england's squad for friday's world cup qualifier in russia. manchester city forward christiansen has a thigh injury, while arsenal midfielder nobbs has a foot problem. lucy staniforth and lauren bruton have been called up as replacements. maria sharapova's run at the french open has come to an unceremonious end. she was thrashed by wimbledon champion garbine muguruza, who'll play simona halep in the last four. sharapova was due to face serena williams in the last 16 before the american's withdrawal. muguruza, champion at roland garros in 2016, swept the russia away, winning the first set 6—2 before an even more comprehensive second set 6—i, condemming sharapova to her worst grand slam defeat in over six years. coming into this part of the year was, losing a few first round matches, matches i wanted to be winning of course but to have the victories that i have had and the results that i have had in moving a step in the right di

spell on the oche against a certain england goalkeeper but we can mention the fact i played jordan pickford at darts but maybe not the result! it was a best-of-s competition that he won 40—11. it is symptomatic of eight relaxed england camp in high spirits. four years ago in brazil it was on an army base they were staying and the media did not get close to them. two years ago at the european championships we we re at the european championships we were not even allowed to talk to the players about the interval darts competition, now we are playing against them. yesterday it was my turn, the day before a journalist from the daily mail, all in good spirit but the problem for the journalists is we are losing 2—0 in what is becoming a daily competition and we had up our game! welcome to repino on the gulf of finland, you can see st petersburg in the background with the england camp in the forest where they make their final preparations for that game on monday and it is getting exciting. watch out for the moose, they can be dangerous! puttable is getting serious, a final day of training befor

jordan pickford is, however, expected to be first choice in russia. england women's striker eni aluko has joined juventus. she announced a couple of weeks ago she'd be moving abroad after her contract with english champions chelsea expired. aluko joins former liverpool midfielder katie zelem in turin. the funeral of 1966 world cup winner ray wilson took place earlier. wilson died last month aged 83. he'd suffered from alzheimer's disease for two years. he won 63 caps for his country and spent most of his club career at huddersfield, where the service took place. some of wilson's world cup winning team—mates, including gordon banks and sir bobby charlton, were there to pay their respects. maria sharapova's run at the french open has come to an unceremonious end. she was thrashed by wimbledon champion garbine muguruza, who'll play simona halep in the last four. sharapova was due to play serena williams in the last 16 before the american's withdrawal. muguruza — champion at roland garros in 2016 — swept the russia away, winning the first set 6—2,

and in holding midfield, jordan henderson was preferred to eric dier with jordan pickford in goal. so we don't know for sure, but that suggests that if that is the team, there will be nine world cup debutants for england on monday. a bold move from gareth southgate with plenty of youth and pace in the squad. but with the experience of the oldest player of the squad, ashley young at right back. but that is unconfirmed. we will hear from some of the players later today and we should hear more. david ornstein in repina. thank you forjoining us. vladimir putin overjoyed with the opening match yesterday with russia thrashing saudi arabia in the list list nitschke stadium. a fantastic day for russia as they revelled in a 5-0 day for russia as they revelled in a 5—0 victory in moscow. the pfa and football writers player of the year mohamed salah is only among the substitutes for egypt's opener against uruguay, kicking off at 1pm. salah was recovering from a damaged shoulder in liverpool's champions league final defeat at the end of may. if he gets on the pitch it would be a fantastic wa

everton keeperjordan pickford has been given the number one shirt for the tournament having started the last two games for england. so it looks like the 24—year—old will be england's number one just seven months after his debut. but one man who won't be in russia is manchester city's leroy sane. the pfa young player of the year has been left out of germany's squad, prompting a last—minute change to the outside of the german football museum in dortmund. that's his poster being taken down. he was in it but he is out? what they do is they put everybody up, they do is they put everybody up, they reduce the squad to the final number. he wasn't the only one to be taken down number. he wasn't the only one to be ta ken down but number. he wasn't the only one to be taken down but it's pretty brutal. your face isn't taken down but it's pretty brutal. yourface isn't on taken down but it's pretty brutal. your face isn't on the side, you didn't make the team? anyway! meanwhile, lucy bronze will captain england's women side in the up—coming world cup qualifier against russia. it's because reg

stepping inside danny rose and curling past jordan was, stepping inside danny rose and curling pastjordan pickfords, wild celebrations among the belgians. it meant a lot to them and their supporters. england finish second in the group and they go on to face colombia. that will be a real test for england in moscow on tuesday evening. colombia reached the quarterfinals at the last world cup and they also have james rodriguez in theirteam, but and they also have james rodriguez in their team, but he is an injury concern with a calf problem so we wait to see what happens with that. england four places above colombia in the world, but colombia will have huge support behind them and it will bea huge support behind them and it will be a real test for england if they wa nt to be a real test for england if they want to go on in this world cup. yes, there is no easy draw, is there, david? thank you very much for now. it might not have been the most entertaining game, this was one of the highlights. this is michy batshuayi. he managed to make a meal of his celebration forjanuzaj's goal, by striking the ball o

and jordan pickford. i think it is a really good form. his form for everton has been really strong. his warm for sunderland the year before, they got relegated, but a good player. he is young, though. when you look at our squad it is a very young squad in general, i do see it as an issue and he has brought such orders. for those people who are not regular watchers, what people come to the world cup at this time. so we have a young side, people are saying here is a good site that and a bad side. they have a good express of the big occasions but in your head, do that mean they go injust thinking, here but in your head, do that mean they go in just thinking, here we are, we will go for it. how does that work? when you look before the tournament, great, let's go for it. when you see the results coming in at the moment, germany not winning, spain not winning and you look at those results and you think a little bit of nerves creeping in and can they go into it as fully relaxed as they wa nt go into it as fully relaxed as they want to? there is that little bit of pressure. then you can loo

england goalkeeperjordan pickford dismisses the idea it might be better for the team to finish second in their world cup group, and insists their mentality is to win every game.

they are just in your face and for someone like jordan pickford who we are expecting to start, it could be difficult if he is not kept busy. let me step to the side. they are about to start rehearsing. we might get a blast of some national anthems ina minute get a blast of some national anthems in a minute which will make talking a little bit difficult. you can see the volgograd arena. it is about 29 degrees today. it is quite nice and pleasant, not too hot, not too difficult. this stadium was built especially for this tournament. it isa especially for this tournament. it is a 45,500 seater. tonight we are expecting 42,000 fans. 2100 will be england fans. the police said they are expecting maybe 2500. local officials said they are expecting around 3000 england fans. what it means is there will be a lot of locals in the england end and it is rare to hear the england fans have not travelled. i think the mix—up thatis not travelled. i think the mix—up that is scaremongering from back home and political tensions. the ones who are here are happy with the way they have been received. gare
