@sgevans when you have 24 teams, it seems silly to only eliminate 8 teams after the group stage. So 2/3's go through? Real special!by BobbyBancroft via twitter 6/19/2012 5:05:15 PM -
@BobbyBancroft yeah thats what I mean - so either keep it 16 or go to 32 if they really must expand.by Simon Evans via twitter 6/19/2012 5:05:56 PM -

Serious heat here in Kiev tonight- over 30 degrees during the day, and it's not much lower nowby RTRSPhil via twitter 6/19/2012 6:19:04 PM -
Thought maybe one of Gerrard or Parker would get a rest for England, certainly would have done if quarter-finals already assured. Jones?by Mark Meadows via twitter 6/19/2012 6:19:51 PM -

In simple terms, France and England both need a draw to be sure to go through, Ukraine need to win and Sweden are out. Of course, it is never quite that easy.
France can afford to lose and still advance if Ukraine do not beat England. Even then a single goal defeat by Sweden would still see the French through on goal difference. -
In exceptional circumstances, England could also lose and still qualify.
If Sweden beat France, it would come down to goal difference between England and the French as they drew their direct encounter.
As it stands France hold a one-goal advantage but if Sweden win by two goals or more and England fare less badly against Ukraine, they could still make it. -

Yet another embarrassing pre-match "show" at Olympic stadium. Reminds me of that excellent piece by @brianhomewood www.guardian.co.ukby europretot via twitter 6/19/2012 6:34:24 PM
-
Once the pre-game show ends, expect plenty of noise from Ukraine crowd - this is a genuine 'away game' for England and they will surely hope to quieten things down in the opening 10-15 mins. Big blow for Ukraine to not be able to start Shevchenko but he is on the bench and his insertion would give a big boost to the team in the second half. Totally new attack for Ukraine with Devich and Milevskiy up-front. Andriy Voronin dropped by Blokhin for this oen. -
