Let's say the truth, the Spain-Croatia match was a pain in the neck, with the two teams playing slow-motion until Italy scored. Croatia then went berserk but wasted its chances big time, a poor show but enough to scare a bad performing Spain, which passed in the end thanks to an offside goal, paired with a couple of unseen penalties for Croatia. Spain - probable winner of this European - must thank the referee big time for not being in the plane to Madrid.
Btw UEFA is said to be much relieved by the departure of the group of nasty Croatian nazi-hooligans who did their best to tarnish the reputation of a majority of peaceful people. Never in the story of humankind so few idiots did so much damage to so many fellow citizens.
A great bravo to the Irish team and to their great supporters, a true example of sportsmanship and civilization. And bravo to the Sweden team, who is dominating France despite they are already out.

Cheers!

Bravo Sweden and a giant Ibrahimovic as usual. Poor France will meet his fate with Spain, and good-bye. Italy-England will be an interesting match. My bets are on Italy, if Balotelli wakes up.

England were riding their luck that first half, a better team would have spanked them. Ukraine played some nice football in spells but just weren't incisive enough.

Zlataaaaaan Ibrahimovic! Zlataaaan Ibrahimovic! Kongo-Kim! Taco-Svensson! Kung Olof! What a classy way to leave the tournament boys, Brazil 2014 here we come!

P.S Fasen vad man kommer sakna många av de "gamla" gubbarna nu när de lämnar. Alla kval och turneringar man följt de i över 10 år. Stående ovationer till Mellberg och Svensson. Sverige - Argentina VM 2002...remember.

Ukraine wasn't that bad, and England also owes a big thank you to the referee for that unseen goal scored by Devic and kicked out by Terry from 2 m behind the line. How could the line referee not see that clear goal, is a mystery.

wow, there were some HUGE fails from the Judges in this match!!

givne that, good 2nd half for both teams, it was a great match seeing both of them actually fightign for it (more of ukraine off course, but england did stand their ground without parking it too much)

Group phase is over, so far my guess is of a Spanish-German final, Cant tell who will win yet..... maybe portugal ;)

Same way the linesman didn't see that the Ukrainian player was clearly offside when the ball was played into the England half during the build up to it.

Of course it did blatantly cross the line.

All in all, shocking refereeing, yet again.
