england's captain has been a shining star so far england's captain has been a shining starso far in england's captain has been a shining star so far in russia and against columbia in the last 16, harry kane was to live is worth once again. the feisty ill tempered match saw the referee repeatedly going into his pocket for the yellow card. england dominated and after the break, harry kane's work rate saw him own penalty, wrestled down by carlos sanchez. he stepped up to slot his sixth goal. it was a lead that was kept largely comfortable. it remained 1—1 after extra time so it was another last 16 penalty shootout. when colombian carlos backer had his spots saved byjordan pickford, it was left to eric dier to win on penalties. sweet dreams are made of this. the first world cup quarterfinalfor 2a are made of this. the first world cup quarterfinal for 2h years. an untidy tie in st petersburg saw a decisive blow mid— rate through the second half. a 1—0 win over switzerland means they look forward to the last date for the first time since 1994 and that meeting with england. sweden is celebrati

i do think that england although played against belgium in the first group hasn't had that true test yet whereas colombia you know we've had to somewhat you know major test japan losing and then poland so i think we have that better preparation in terms of game play but it's going to be a very very close game and i think set pieces will be a key factor both sides you know england side and colombia side as we've had scored two or three goals on set pieces and getting enough so i'm going with a long get to one thousand straws for joining me by the best team win. no. effort to see i played golf. not that i'm going to learn how not that i'm not out of luck though the other not out of them out of the money that eliminated at a time i. guess was a good time to. try to move there i don't know mom. little bit of little not why not. stop for a chant and the old people we believe just a little bit here. a. lot of my kids i don't want them up as i don't have a lot of them on. a little more than having a little accuser is a lot of money and i'm a little like a might be older looking at the behin

but england tea m i am very confident. but england team has made me confident. they are ona team has made me confident. they are on a roll, they have momentum and seem a very on a roll, they have momentum and seem a very happy bunch. i am really, really looking forward to the game and i think we are in with a very, very good chance. what about the croatians, what is there to be wa ry the croatians, what is there to be wary of? in modric they have one of the best midfielders in the world. and they have one of the best centre forwards in mandzukic, but i think we can take them. is your confidence based on what you have seen from england, based on gareth southgate, some of the stuff going on back home in england? a bit of everything. this england squad has given eve ryo ne this england squad has given everyone hope. they have the whole country in the palm of their hands. it is great to see. it has not happened that many times that we can all get excited and be happy with an england team. there have been some real downtimes with england, but now we are all happy, si

or will it be medicalfor england? a moscow? or will it be medicalfor england ? a feeling moscow? or will it be medicalfor england? a feeling there will never have a chance as good as this again of reaching the world cup finals since 1966. hit so close the moment and they are just midway through the first period of extra time. thank you, we will be back with you no doubt. we had beaten croatia before an astute again. wayne rooney just wayne rooneyjust switched to playing culpable in washington, dc. lots of people urging the english simon including fans all over the country, this is on the north coast of cornwall. perranporth beach. hyde park. people are looking agitated and tens. mouths open, lots of hands upon the chin and on the face. people looking particularly tense. this guy is gesturing here. and this is in manchester. whether in living rooms or gatherings or paths millions of people are watching. the last quarterfinal against sweden was watched by over 23 million people in the uk. that's find out what the situation is in croatia. bethany is in zagreb. but i'm guessing peopl

because england goalkeeper jordan pickford with any longer because england goalkeeperjordan pickford with a heroic save that meant it all went down to eric dier, the tottenham hotspur midfielder with england's last penalty. both sides had missed one coming he kept his nerve, stepped up, and as you can see, he made no mistake with a decisive penalty. england winning 4—3 on penalties after the game ended after extra time 1—1. england had to dig so extra time 1—1. england had to dig so deep having conceded a last—gasp equaliser by colombia. they had all the momentum. it felt like a home match for colombia with very few england fancier. tonight, as we said earlier, we discovered how much metal this young england team had. it was hard to assess them coming into this match. they had won their first two games against pretty average opposition in tunisia and panama, but it was a weakened team against belgium. this was the first real challenge for the front—line players who had plenty of rest, were injury free. they thought they had enoughin injury free. they thought they had enough

southern england. it is going to feel cooler today. there are showers, not all of us will see them, the best of the sunshine will be across north wales and northern ireland, and you could see temperatures of 26 or 27. through the evening and overnight, those showers will fade. we will have more cloud coming in from the north sea across eastern areas. we have got a weather front coming in from the atlantic, which for the end of the night will be straddled across north—west scotland and northern ireland. tonight was my temperatures, roughly 10— 16. tomorrow, we start off with that cloud across north—west scotland and northern ireland. slowly through the day it will push east. it will wea ken day it will push east. it will weaken as it does. you could see the odd shower coming out of it in parts of eastern southern scotland. for the rest of the uk, lots of dry weather. as a result, temperatures will be higher. the maximum temperature in the south tomorrow will be about 2728, maybe 29. be high and th

incredible scenes there what does this victory mean for england fans it means a lot. to put it shortly it's pretty hard to put into words because this ends years if not decades of for many england fans obviously they haven't won the world cup since one in sixty six that this was the first time england had won a world cup no match in any major tournament wins in two thousand and six but more importantly they won on penalties and this was the big deal for the england fans because they know more so than any other team in the world how hurtful it can be to go out on penalties they haven't won a one before this match on penalties in three occasions the world cup which is in long wanted a record and so i have english friends in this family. and my phone was off when the building went in they were going absolutely crazy after the results so i think this really shakes a monkey off england's backs you know getting rid of that coerce of the penalty shoot out and i think england fans are starting to believe that their team might go all the way. you know what we've seen some big

how will england prepare for it? the student —— the same as they do for any other team, they do their homework, they will set up in training and play how they would play but they will have their tactics audit. a lot has been made about the england short corner routines and the fact that they're not going to plan. why are they so important? there a chance to get a set piece, when you have any numerical advantage towards the goal. it is a big thing for hockey to try to win multi—corners and the stats have suggested that by getting penalty corners you should be looking for a one in three conversion ratio. england are struggling with that as our other nations this tournament and we will be looking to improve on those stats. what is going wrong for england? it isjust not quite clicking, only by margins butjust looking for those final connections. england were one of the favourites coming into the tournament, they're not hitting top gear yet, is that down to the nerves? i think it is a slow burner, every game they ha

that is after england beat sweden 2-0 that is after england beat sweden 2—0 in samarra. the english football the journey to this point has been a long, fraught with frustrations. but this is a new england, a new generation. the sweden to the pride and passion remain, now to see how much further that could take either of them. first a moment to stay calm, composed, beginning slowly trading early blows that never looked like landing. this was hurricane's early offering, for once off target, but this is england may have more than one harry. harry maguire heading them into the lead before half—time. jordan pickford is an emerging hero, saving the header in england's lead. as he stepped up others would step forward , as he stepped up others would step forward, england inspired. dele alli added a second, whilst whelan delaware sweden - threatened delaware sweden rarely threatened pickford was unbeatable. english nurse temporarily, they are through to the semifinal. and if we weren't all carried away before now we set the arnaus. yes. generations of england players have tried

a big win for england, jo? england was like world cup campaign continues after a comfortable victory here in front of another sell—out cloud described, they found themselves having to win this last crossover to reject, or they would have gone home. sophie brey settled the nerves early on with her first goal of the world cup, her initial effort was well saved, but she made sure from the second attempt. england look to build on that lead, and well chances came, it looked like it would be the same old story that could make them count. but time ticking away, korea went for broke, sacrificing their keeper for an extra outfield player anna anna came close to paying off. then came the counterattack, housley with a finish to finally put the result out of sight, and round off england's best performance of the world cup so far. great performance for england tonight, celebrations will not last long as up on thursday, in the quarterfinals, the defending champions the netherlands come up. they've scored 60 —— 26 goals

reed england overachieved in this world cup no one ever expected england to get into the semifinals, despite all of the talk, it was never expected. and they can still overachieved, but he can hold his head up high, they have done better than they were expected of this young new team. this is a young and inexperienced team that done tremendously well and have united and are working well and for the first time, and 25 years, england, going into the world cup, attacking, not defensive, not, it is attacking, not defensive, not, it is a huge difference. 17 players on the england squad, the last world cup game. so it is quite shrinking, it is quite incredible does watching the game. there are all pundits, they are comrades on the sidelines. it isa they are comrades on the sidelines. it is a huge difference, whether we win or lose, we have done outstandingly well and it's fantastic, a good team that really made it exciting, and we look forward to the european cup in two is times, and will do well there as well. still a long way to go, you get a sense that people are still confident, they'r

it is a nuisance that england have done well?|j that england have done well?” wouldn't say it is a nuisance. i think the premier league would always like england to be performing well. it raises the profile of both. the national side and of the premier league. but, the premier league aren't out to make england great. they are about making the premier league the greatest. i do feel that having a good england side, behaving as emphatically as we did as a nation, producing lots of good moments on the field does benefit everybody. ayes it is certain that england have the ingredients on the pitch to perhaps produce a winning team.” think you have, in england, a whole bunch of very talented players coming through. the challenge ahead is for gareth and his staff, to develop those players. the potential is there. they have showcased that they have the ability to go even higher. it is important that you have the patience that comes with it. where will be the players in 2—4 years from now. they need guidance, they need to go through, also, the bad moments. you just h

whistle commentator: england win! england come to be sealing their biggest win for yea rs come to be sealing their biggest win for years and with it, their first semifinal for a for years and with it, their first semifinalfor a generation. gareth southgate becoming just the third manager of his country to achieve such a feat. i can't speak highly enough of the whole squad and the whole group of staff. it is so united. their level of commitment to each other, you don'tjust get through with i! each other, you don'tjust get through with 11 players, i have everybody at home enjoys tonight because not very often, as we know, it has happened. we are enjoying it, i never found here are enjoying it and the fans back home i am sure they are enjoying it. —— the fans here are enjoying it. we need to keep doing what we're doing and make the country proud. england fans have grown used to disappointment at major tournament but not here, not today. not with this remarkable young teen insuring theirjourney in russia continues. so

england beat sweden 2—0. in the other game, the hosts — russia — went out to croatia a—3 in a penalty shoot—out. england will play croatia on wednesday. the other semi—final will pit france against belgium. north korea has announced that it may abandon plans to give up its nuclear technology if the united states continues to demand unilateral denuclearisation by pyongyang. a government spokesman said the stance taken by us negotiators was gangster—like. he said both sides should take steps at the same time. the 12 boys trapped in a flooded cave system in thailand have sent handwritten letters to their families, to reassure them that they are well. their football coach, who is with them, also sent a note apologising to their parents. the team were cut off when exploring the cave two weeks ago. as the first week of wimbledon draws to a close, britain's number one, kyle edmund, has been knocked out.

but as you say, the end of a dream for england. at the end of a dream for england. at the very last minute i was able to get my hands on a ticket. i was in a stadium watching that match, difficult to watch. in the last half an hourof difficult to watch. in the last half an hour of that, when the game went into extra time because it really was anyone's to play for, we went into extra time because the teams had drawn and it was really down to which team was going to school and additional goal and that team was croatia. 0f additional goal and that team was croatia. of course, it was a rollercoaster for the fans and the stadium because it began with england on a high in that match and after a half—time england fans in the stadium were saying it is only 45 minutes away from making history and getting into a world cup final again. but of course, the croatian side turned it around and they now make history. this is theirfifth world cup and now they are through to the final. well then, deep breath begin. the players with the great opportunity, some faces here little known
