Euro 2012 soccer championship

@warren, I quite agree. the extra official can not give it on that one look. No human can. A replay or a hawkeye could.

That's the best pic of the Terry incident we have at the moment I'm afraid

Oxlade Chamberlain on for Rooney, England closing it out despite being generally poor and having luck with their goal and luck at the other end

by Reuters Sports 6/19/2012 8:30:24 PM
France been about as poor and trail but will go through behind England as it stands

Oxlade-Chamberlain fails to pass to Walcott who you would think would have scored. 90 mins

In truth it hasn't been that hard for #England. #Ukraine weren't sharp enough #soccer

Yarmolenko with neat curling effort but just over the bar. Both co-hosts out in group stage. Tough on the tournament

England win

Already eliminated Sweden win 2-0 FT but France still go through in second behind England. Blanc will be livid

So England as group winners will face Italy in quarter-finals on Sunday in Kiev

France will take on holders Spain on Saturday in Donetsk

by Reuters Sports 6/19/2012 8:41:51 PM
Some will argue that the Terry off the line/over theline would not have changed anything as Ukraine levelling and France losing would still have put those two through with England top. Another Ukraine goal though...

by Reuters Sports 6/19/2012 8:43:45 PM
Platini surely knows that human eyes can not be 100 percent certain on a split second goalline clearance like that. Technology would be.

First time in Euro history apart from 96 where England have got through group stage without losing...would Capello have done any better than Hodgson? Cant get better than winning group

by Reuters Sports 6/19/2012 8:50:14 PM
But what of France? Tipped as winners after Ukraine win but awful tonight. Thought for Ukraine who played with heart like Poland but quality was lacking in final third even with Sheva on the pitch

Blokhin to Ukraine TV: "We scored a clean goal in the 63rd minute as the ball crossed the goal line by over a metre. We had rotten luck tonight because the ball was not willing to go into the goal and England were lucky to score."

Rio Ferdinand and Michael Owen both admit that #Ukraine ball was over the line #soccer

@mark_meadows Are Italy likely to revert to 3 CBs or keep their formation from Ireland match? Your predicted back line vs England?

Waiter to @sgevans at breakfast; "More coffee sir?". "Yes please" "Black or white sir" "Black please" "with milk or without..." Wonderful!

by footballmc via twitter 6/20/2012 7:32:48 AM
@Roland_Kessler I think Italy will stick with four at the back now. Prandelli just changed to a 3 to shake them up a bit. Chiellini is out so it will be Maggio, Bonucci, Barzagli and Balzaretti I think.
