Avon Royal The problem with a Ukraine win is that it means that Sweden could have nothing to play for in their last game against France.
Thats ok as i would rather play Croatia than Spain or Italy in the next round

cmonurzKitsondinho Kes getting a dig in at Gerrard, who'd have thunk it?
Recorded the game and just watched the goals again. If you're being harsh and apportioning blame for the goal, it has to go Scott Parker's way.
If you watch the build up to the goal, Gerrard's is tracking Ribery, and as the ball moves towards the centre, Cabaye. Nasri is Parker's man and Parker dives in front of Nasri's initial shot on goal, which cannoned off Lescott.
Unfortunately after that attempted block, Parker doesn't pick up Nasri again, who drifts across the edge of the penalty area. Gerrard's has taken up a defensive position. Parker has aimlessly trotted into the same space as Gerrard's and then gets wrong-footed by the pass into Ribery, leaving Gerrard's the only man attempting to rush out to block the ball.
It doesn't need all that analysis, we conceded because as a whole we were sitting too deep, but the goal was not Gerrard's fault.

cmonurz TBM, I'm looking at the 30-40 seconds before the goal, not just the last 5.

Well now you're looking at the last 5, would you agree that Gerrard didn't need to be there? - IF he was truely tracking Ribery then he would have been on his back meaning he wouldn't have had the space/time to lay the ball back and he would have also been closer to Nasri when he hit the shot.

No Fixed Abode Decent result, but we'll have to improve our ball retention. Delighted with with Gerrard's immaculate cross for Lescott's goal.
Poor attempt by Hart for their goal.
Would have won if it wasn't for that.
