    Harry Kane hasn't been effective so far. Let's see how we can perform without him - if we play well and score goals, he knows he needs to work to keep his place, rather than being an automatic selection.

    So, do the Wales squad love being in front of the camera?

    "Erm... it depends!" says photographer John Smith. "Some are shyer than others. It's a difficult thing, having your photo taken sometimes but some like it, some don't."

    There has been another goal in the Group A game between the Netherlands and hosts Qatar - and it's going to make the Orange Army very happy.

    Barcelona midfielder Frenkie De Jong is the man on target and has doubled the Dutch side's lead.

    Louis van Gaal's side have seemingly wrapped that one up, but Senegal are still only leading Ecuador by a single goal.

  9. What do England and Wales need to do to qualify?published at 16:00 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    Wales v England (19:00 GMT)

    England are on the verge of reaching the knockout stage of the World Cup, but Wales face an uphill battle in their quest to make the last 16.

    So what do the home nations need to secure a place? Let's have a look.

    England

    • England will go through regardless if they avoid a four-goal defeat by Wales.
    • They'll also finish top of Group B if Iran and the USA draw and they don't lose to Wales by four or more goals.
    • If England draw against Wales and Iran beat the USA, Iran top the group and England finish second.
    • If England draw to Wales and the USA beat Iran by at least four goals, the USA will finish top of the group, with England in second.
    • If England lose to Wales and the USA beat Iran, USA finish top of the group and England qualify second.

    Wales

    • Wales must beat England and hope for a draw between the United States and Iran.
    • If USA or Iran win, Wales will need to beat England by four or more goals to finish second ahead of them.

    Round of 16 matches

    The Group B qualifiers will face the first or second in Group A, where the Netherlands, Ecuador or Senegal will go through. As it stands, the Dutch will top the group with Senegal in second.

    • Saturday, 15:00 GMT - Winners Group A v Runners-up Group B
    • Sunday, 19:00 - Winners Group B v Runners-up Group A

    What's that?

    You want to see the permutations again? I don't blame you. They're on the way...

  11. Sarr puts Senegal ahead, Dutch lead Qatarpublished at 15:53 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    Ecuador 0-1 Senegal & Netherlands 1-0 Qatar

    Senegal lead at half-time!

    Ismaila Sarr, who was awarded the penalty after being clattered into by Piero Hincapie, holds his nerve and strokes the ball past Ecuador's motionless goalkeeper Hernan Galindez.

    As it stands, Senegal are currently progressing to face the winners of Group B (possibly England) in the round of 16.

    The Netherlands are also set to go through. They lead Qatar thanks to Cody Gakpo's goal.

  12. 'Closest thing to a World Cup derby'published at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    We've been hearing from some England and Wales fans ahead of the game tonight.

    "We know we're the better side than Wales but it's the closest that a derby in the World Cup could come," says England fan Ryan Tobin.

    He says England were too conservative going into the USA game and they need to be "on the front foot tonight" by getting an early goal.

    Welsh fan Owain Lacey responds by saying "everyone knows England are better on paper but Wales just has to do itself proud tonight".

    "The last two games, especially against Iran, Wales just haven't been doing that - our big players haven't turned up," he tells BBC News.

    "We just have to hope the big players, Gareth Bale, Brennan Johnson, Aaron Ramsey, turn up and we give it a really good go."

    He says this could be a big send off for some of Wales' older players. "It might be Gareth Bale's last ever game in a Wales shirt so it's be really nice if he doens't go out having lost to our biggest rival."

    All the talk of resting Kane makes no sense to me. Imagine the boost that would give Wales? Would you rather face Argentina with or without Messi? Portugal with or without Ronaldo? France with or without Mbappe? If fit, Kane obviously starts

  15. A big night ahead for the Irelands...published at 15:31 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    Wales v England (19:00 GMT)

    The Irelands

    Meet husband and wife, George and Laura Ireland.

    George is a passionate England fan and Laura is a die-hard Wales supporter.

    Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, they explained how they’re planning to get through the game tonight with their marriage intact.

    "Tonight we have friends coming round because I’m normally I’m not keen on watching it with Laura, just in case there’s a bit of humiliation," said George.

    "Because we have friends coming around, it means we can’t stay in the spare room if Wales win and we’ve had a particularly hard game.”

    Laura added: "George had originally refused to watch it with me!

    "I’ll be there belting out the Welsh anthem, with my daffodil hat on and my Wales flag, so George will not be enjoying that."

    On their score predictions, Laura said: "On paper it's going to be an England win, but I just think anything is possible, so I’m going to be bold and say 2-1 to Wales."

    George added he’s "nervous" ahead of tonight but believes England "have got a bit room this time".

    "If we will keep it tight, then Jack Grealish will come on and make a difference."

  18. 'When is the handbrake going to come off?'published at 15:18 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    Wales v England (19:00 GMT)

    Stephen Warnock
    Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    There's been a lot of negativity around England after the Nations League. I was at the Hungary game where there was a humiliation [a 4-0 defeat] at Molineux.

    There is always a feeling with Gareth [Southgate] of 'when is the handbrake going to come off? When are you going to let this team of individual brilliance express themselves?'

    He loves them to play in a system and be organised, but these guys play for teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, they are capable of doing it. I don't understand why Gareth doesn't let them do that.

    I spoke with [former Brighton striker] Glenn Murray and he said would you rather win a tournament playing ugly football or go out playing open, expansive football. He said he sat down with his son to watch the games [at Euro 2020] and said 'what a summer he gave my kids'.

    I thought 'yeah, that's fair enough' but I think we should be winning it. That's not me being overconfident. I think we have the ability to win it.

  19. 'Foden & Rashford to start' - reportspublished at 15:13 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    Wales v England (19:00 GMT)

    According to the Daily Telegraph's Matt Law, Phil Foden, Marcus Rashford, Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker are all set to start for England tonight.

    And it could be a midfield three of Henderson-Bellingham-Rice.

    Happy with those changes, England fans? Hit the thumbs.

    Ecuador v Senegal and Netherlands v Qatar have just got under way!

    Remember, it's still all to play for in Group A, with the Netherlands needing a draw against Qatar to be sure of qualifying.

    The winner of Ecuador v Senegal will progress to the last 16, with a draw enough to see Ecuador through.
