World Cup day 17: All the build-up to England and Panama clash

Welcome to our live blog of day 17 of the World Cup.

All eyes will be on England later tonight when they do battle with Panama, with the Three Lions seeking a return to winning ways following a frustrating goalless stalemate with Ghana earlier in the week.

Thomas Tuchel's men will go into this evening's showdown as strong favourites given the talent they've got in their squad.

But Panama have lost both of their first two matches by just a single goal - meaning another tense night for England could be in store.

Another contest taking place at 10pm is Croatia vs Ghana.

Then, in the early hours of Sunday morning, Colombia and Portugal will lock horns - while DR Congo and Uzbekistan will face each other.

It promises to be another big day of World Cup action.

So keep up to date with all of our coverage below.

Uruguay star requests own substitution

Fernando Muslera asked to be substituted at half-time after his costly error helped send Uruguay crashing out of the World Cup.

The 40-year-old goalkeeper allowed a tame effort from Alex Baena to slip through his hands in the first half of a 1-0 defeat to Spain, with Marcelo Bielsa later revealing the veteran requested to come off himself.

Sergio Rochet replaced him after the break as Uruguay exited the tournament as the highest-ranked nation eliminated.

Former England goalkeeper Rob Green said Bielsa also shared responsibility, while the defeat allowed surprise package Cape Verde to progress to the knockout stages.
