介绍:
England is on brink of early exit
Still in the world cup,
Luis Suarez has put England on the brink of an early exit after scoring twice to give Uruguay a 2-1 victory.
In theory, England still has a chance to advance at the World Cup.
England' fans are still supporting their team.
"Unfortunately the results have not worked our way, you know. It's a little bit of a toothless performance tonight. I think they needed a bit more urgency but I'm at a World Cup, I'm in Brazil. What is there to be sad about?"
"I go to Rio now, back to Rio. I'm going to the game in Belo Horizonte. I still want to follow England."
If Italy tops the group with three wins, and England beat Costa Rica in its remaining group match, England, Uruguay, and Costa Rica will be tied with three points from three matches.
Among those three, the team with the best goal differential will advance.
In other action,
Colombia has booked a berth in the knockout stage after beating Cote d'Ivoire 2-1.
And Japan, despite numerous quality scoring chances, was held to a scoreless draw by Greece.
Preview of three World Cup fixtures on Saturday morning
In the World Cup,
The match between France and Switzerland is set to kick off at 3' o'clock in the morning Beijing time.
Both sides won their opening World Cup games.
France beat Honduras 3-0 and coach Didier Deschamps says he hopes his team's form will continue in Salvador, where there has been a goal fest.
"I hope we have a great game for the public that comes to the stadium as they want to see as many goals as possible. You can never promise anything, of course. It depends on what is going on, on the pitch. You may have very good goalless draws, but it is better if you score, everybody tries to score. Sometimes you have five goals but with the two matches that have been played in Salvador the spectacle was great and I hope we will do the same thing tomorrow."
Deschamps adds he has a full squad for the match now that midfielder Yohan Cabaye has recovered from a groin injury, but he's not offering any hints as to how he is going to line-up his side.
The last three head-to-head clashes between France and Switzerland have ended in draws and yielded a paltry two goals in the process.
In other action,
Italy is due to take on Costa Rica at midnight.
The Azzuri beat England 2-1 in their opening match, while Costa Rica beat Uruguay 3-1, so they are not to be underestimated.
Italy coach Cesare Prandelli believes that Costa Rica offers plenty of attack and shouldn't be taken lightly.
"Our main issues regarding the opposite team is that they probably knows us very well, have studied closely our players performances, and have 3 forwards of great quality."
The 2006 World Cup winners suffered a group stage exit in 2010, and will be hoping for a win that will make their progress to the final 16 a virtual certainty.
At 6 am, Honduras will meet Ecuador.
Russia hosts a presentation for right to hold Euro 2020 matches in St Petersburg
Russia has presented its bid to host UEFA Euro 2020 matches in St Petersburg.
The UEFA Euro tournament will be staged in 13 cities across Europe in 2020, following a decision taken by the UEFA Executive Committee early last year.
This will be the first time the European championships have been held in more than two countries, with only one city from each country allowed to bid.
Board member of St Petersburg Football Association Dimitri Schneider has revealed that as part of the tournament's new format, tickets will act as a form of visa for fans to facilitate ease of travel.
"Our focus continues to be on the fans, just as it has been for the 2018 World Cup," said Schneider, "that is why the government signed an additional guarantee providing visa-free entrance in to the country for all ticket holders from the countries of Europe and beyond."
The U.S.S.R. was the first champion of the European Championship in 1960.
UEFA has received final bids from 19 member associations, the results of which will be announced in September.
Stacy Lewis takes lead at US Women's Open with a 67
In golf,
The PGA Tour's Travelers Championship has teed off at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut.
Brendan Steele shot an 8-under 62 for a one-shot lead after the first round of play.
Americans Chad Campbell, Joe Durant, Jeff Maggert, Scott Langley and Eric Axley have carded 64s while 2010 winner and reigning Masters champion Bubba Watson has opened with a 67.
Steele won his only PGA Tour title at the 2011 Texas Open.
American world number five Matt Kuchar has opened with a 66 while compatriot Ken Duke, who won last year's Travelers Championship in a playoff with Chris Stroud, has returned a 65.
Australian Oliver Goss, one of four players in the field making their professional debuts this week, has carded a 70.
On the women's side,
World number one Stacy Lewis has taken a one-shot lead in the U.S. Women's Open first round at Pinehurst in North Carolina.
Bidding for a third major title, Lewis has birdied the 14th, 16th and the eighth after starting her round at the par-five 10th.
She finished one ahead of American Michelle Wie, who birdied four of her last nine holes late in the day.
Reigning champion Park Inbee of South Korea made a faltering start to her title defence, piling up four bogeys, two doubles and just two birdies to shoot a 76.
Lewis won her second major crown at last year's Women's British Open and has made the grand slam events her number one priority.
