At the Donbass Stadium in Donetsk, Ukraine, whose fate was hanging by a thread, launched a Jedi counterattack.

In the seventeenth minute of the second half, Ukraine launched a quick counterattack, Milevsky made the ball to Devic, Devic shook off the defender and his one-handed shot was blocked by Hart, and the ball still flew towards the goal!

Terry cleared the ball near the goal line, and the referee did not make a valid indication of the goal, but from the slow-motion replay, it can be seen that the ball has crossed the goal line as a whole!

It was a miscalculation!

In the ensuing games, England resisted Ukraine's Jedi counterattacks again and again.

Time flew and in the blink of an eye came the final moment of the game, the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, and in the 45th minute of the second half, Sweden attacked from the right side.

Williamson's cross from the right found Holman at the far post, whose rebounding shot bounced off the crossbar and Larsson, who followed up at the near post, volleyed into the empty net!

The ball is in!

Two to zero!

Sweden, fighting for honor, extended the score!

This frightened the French fans at the scene, and they turned their attention to another stadium.

Donetsk Donbass Stadium, after four minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and England won by one goal!

With this victory, England qualified as top of the group.

Although France lost 0-2 to Sweden, they advanced to the next round by virtue of their points advantage.

After the game, Ukraine denounced the miscalculation.

At the post-match press conference, an angry Ukrainian coach Blokhin clashed with a journalist and even had to go head-to-head with a reporter. In response to the referee's missed judgment and misjudgment, Blokhin asked UEFA, what is the use of arranging five referees?

In his post-match press conference, Blokhin began by praising the performance of the Ukrainian players, saying that the Ukrainian team went out with their heads held high, "We have a promising team in the Ukrainian team.

Here, I would like to thank my players, as well as the Ukrainian fans who watched this game. We were so unlucky in tonight's game.

I'm not at all ashamed of the performance of the Ukrainian team. ”

A Ukrainian journalist asked: "As the hosts, Ukraine could not be present in the knockout stage, which is very disappointing for Ukrainian fans, what are you going to say to them now?"

Blokhin was so angry that the fiery head of the personality pointed to the reporter and said, "Come, let's go out, let's have a conversation between men." ”

Blokhin asked rhetorically, "Have you ever played a ball?" Write as much as you like, anyway, you like the Ukrainian team, you don't like me. You are a journalist, I can understand, but you also have to have the most basic respect for me. ”

In order to prevent the occurrence of a "goal-line suspense", UEFA deliberately arranged two bottom-line referees, but the good ball of the Ukrainian team was still ignored.

"What else can I say? There were five referees on the pitch and the ball crossed the goal line one metre. If Carroll's elbow doesn't blow the whistle and Terry doesn't blow a foul behind his back, what do we need five referees for? I don't want to talk too much about the referee, and I don't want to put it all down to the referee, everyone watched the game, you can write whatever you like. ”

After the match against England, Shevchenko announced that he would retire from the national team.

When it comes to the game, Shevchenko is relatively calm.

'I don't think Ukraine did any worse than England and it was the best game we played in this tournament. We fight for the fans and I hope you won't be disappointed.

Indeed, now the Ukrainian team is out, this is football, this is sports.

Here, I would like to say that the Ukrainian team tried to show great football in this tournament, and I think that the Ukrainian team managed to do that. ”

While applauding Sweden, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph also criticized France's sluggishness: "Brah! Sweden! They deserved applause on this night.

Sweden played their best performance in the group stage, defending tenaciously and leaving France with nothing to do.

France's sluggish performance cannot be compared to Spain's. If France beat Sweden with a twelve-point spirit, they may be able to progress to the last four against Italy. ”

The French team newspaper criticized the poor performance of the French team: "France's disgraceful promotion! ”

"Apart from a few performances from Ribery, France have not shown enough determination to go for the top spot. Sweden were eliminated but they were able to leave with their heads held high, while France qualified but with shame.

It was the first time since the 2006 World Cup that France reached the quarter-finals of a major tournament, and it was still humiliating. ”

……

With the end of the final round of Group D, the quarterfinals are all produced.

Group A: 1st Czech Republic, 2nd Russia; Group B is the first place in the Netherlands and second in Germany; Group C is the first place in the group, Spain, and the second is Italy; Group D is the first place in the group, England and the second is France.

Quarterfinals, top half: Czech Republic, first in Group A, second in Group B, Germany; Group C Spain, first against Group D Group 2nd France.

Bottom half: Netherlands, top of Group B, against Russia, second in Group B; England, who won Group D, took on Italy, who were second in Group C.

There were a couple of big games, Spain and France in the first half, England and Italy in the second half.

Regarding the Dutch showdown with Russia, the Dutch media believe that this is the best chance for revenge.

At the last European Championship, the Netherlands, who won all of their group games, met Russia in the first round of the knockout round.

Almost everyone except Russia favored the Netherlands, but the Netherlands lost 1-3 at the feet of Russia.

That crushing defeat led directly to the resignation of Dutch coach Van Basten.

Four years later, the Netherlands once again met Russia in the first round of the knockout round of the European Championships, which was like a reincarnation and a deliberate arrangement by God.

The Dutch media described the match as a "revenge fight!" ”

The Telegraph, the largest media outlet in the Netherlands, said: "Four years have passed, God has once again arranged Russia as the opponent of the quarterfinals of the Netherlands, and all the Netherlands has to do is take revenge and win this battle of revenge!"

Despite the fact that the Netherlands did not perform well in the group stage and the overall form of the team was not at its best, we still have to believe in the Netherlands.

Because now this Dutch team has found a new leader - Chen!

From the three games in the group stage, it was Chen's single-handedness that allowed the Netherlands to win thrilling victories over Denmark and Germany, and drew with Portugal in the final game.

Chen's form has been a surprise and we hope this European Championship will be his European Cup!

Of course, if the Dutch team wants to win the European Championship, in addition to Chen continuing to be brave, other players need to step up. Happily, Sneijder's chemistry with Chen is growing, and it was his clever two-footed pass against Germany that Chen scored twice in a row to help the Netherlands equalise for the first time.

In addition, Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben are also slowly recovering, and they both scored in the group stage.

I hope the two of them will get back to their best form as soon as possible and share the goal burden on Chen's shoulders! ”
