well that's Lee carsley looking ahead to the game tomorrow night and talking about what's happening with him as the interim coach of course Harry Kane will earn his 100th cap against Finland and he's been reflecting on the achievement with Fay yeah probably the last couple days even more so obviously I weren't sure if I was definitely going to play both games um but now I know I am I think you know it is a really big achievement I think sometimes even me when you're in it and you just you know you're thinking about the next game you're thinking about the win you kind of get you maybe forget how you know big these things are and uh you know I've been reminded by a couple of the staff here how big of an achievement it is and uh yeah I think it's important to celebrate you know to have my family to have my kids there and uh even if it's not definit like only tomorrow I think looking back at you know those pictures or those memories are really special for for them as well so uh it should be a good celebration but with all this there is a a game to be played as well so that's where my main focus is and you know I think if we win uh yeah after the game I can really you know have a good uh a good celebration with my family and friends what do you remember about that first cap against Lithuania back in 2015 yeah I still remember it like it was yesterday I mean it was one of my best moments one of my proudest moments in an England shirt uh I remember waiting for rages to come on the pitch cuz the ball didn't go out forever and uh yeah come on for Wayne Uh obviously a big Idol of mine and then uh Wembley got a great reception at Wembley um and then yeah before I know had couple touches and then I was heading one in at the back back post and just celebrating and all those emotions coming out and uh that was just a really special night just just to be at Wembley and have my family there and almost just as you dreamed it coming off the bench with one of your your Idols at home at Wembley scoring a couple minutes later it's almost like a a film stript I remember that great start for Harry Kan and of course he has achieved so much since as the England number

we'll get confirmation of who has gone off shortly of course we've already seen brenon Johnson come on and it's Lewis kumas who has gone off so Dean Saunders what's your view of that um well because Craig's gone through everything and you know it a bit a bit like Jack G is playing for Man City he's been told to stay on the left hand side you're not playing for Asen Villa now you do the you do what we tell you to do and you Hold Your Position Craig's gone through that with the players so they kumas has stayed on the left he's held his position he's done what he's been asked to do sober Thomas knows exactly what to do now it's the same thing as he done against turkey uh fresh legs on there the pitch is heavy this reminds me of when we used to play years ago before there was perfect Bowling Greens pitches well it's certainly not tonight in nixit which is a city known as the part of the monegan Mixed Martial Arts Achi the fireworks going off and they've pulled the yellow and red ribbons right across the length of the pitch so yeah there's a huge yellow and red T on the far side which stretches 20 yds either side of the halfway line there are fireworks outside the stadium as ytic flicks off for Mont but it's headed Away by RH on on the far side turkey won Iceland won the halftime score also in this group France leading Belgium by a goal to n in arguably the biggest game of the night and it's also one1 at halim between England's under 21s and their Austrian counterparts with Israel also leading Italy the rain still teaming down as Montenegro in all red with yellow trim face this Wales team defending the goal away to our left with the prim Rose yellow and green trim the away kit going back to the really traditional Welsh colors as they high ball into the penalty are y the four minutes but I'm sure we'll just get 30 seconds on due to that substitution here's Alis 30 yard away from the penalty area he's able to turn and faces the Belgium defense that pulls intercepted by the bo defense pulls down to the left hand side now for Belgium here is barola trying to slide that through to Killian mbapp looks at his watch shampo a a navy suit and white shirt spk could ORD through at this late stage of the game with the result he's going his Way's mbappe inside the corner yellow boots laying this back to CBA CBA and that's it it's victory for France they bounced back from their 3-1 defeat on Friday night to Italy to claim their first victory of the new UFA Nations League campaign it's Belgium's first defeat in this early season they beat Israel on Friday but they fell to two goal defeat here the opening goal was scored by K man in the first half and then demele doubled Le's lead in the second half and then the control was there ever since then B's goal for France another game where Belgium fa to beat France E's the pressure from damp who has the full back in of the French Federation Football Federation um but that would just ease the concerns and the murmurs across the French faithful who have some doubts about did sham friend side the goal scorers were K man and demell the full-time score here from Leon is France to Belgium nil all right all right people it's all over here France to Belgium new guys yep and it's a convincing Victory here for Le blue that bounced back from that defeat against the Italians Guys from Italy in the previous match and uh yeah it was a good performance here from from Usman demele and kumani Y kumani and Usman demele absolutely on fire tonight they were cooking you know they were absolutely cooking like that and yeah although Belgium started the game brilliantly but then they fed it guys they fed it in the course of the game like that and allow France to dominate in most aspects like yeah France dominated created a lot of chances you know dominated created a lot of chances man demele and kumani absolutely amazing were constant tracks in the game um and then people yeah so uh k b was on the bench came on as a substitute yeah was kind of lively but couldn't get that goal but then I think yeah France that bounced back from that opening day defeat they were more reason at the back the defensive aspect of a game today was really on point to they improved here tonight defensively and uh they kept a clearit here as well so guys it's two n Belgium struggled to yeah create something but then they they they fit it guys they fit it in the in the course of the game in the early stages of the game they were AB they were they were they were they looking bright and sharp but then in the course of the game they faded out and allowed France to dominate and create lot of chances and de what to go what to go from De like that and also kurani on target for the fren side guys
