True but if the scores stayed as they were Spain would finish 2nd, which would mean England could miss them

Best move from Croatia, but no goal.

Probaly added another couple of million onto Modric's price though 

Croatia have created 2 or 3 very good chances .

So was the Spanish goal offside?

Perfectly fine since 2003 as a rule if a player in possesion passes the ball back or level to another player beyond the last defender the the goal will stand thank Ruud Van  Nistlerooy for that .

Croatia 0 Spain 1

Ireland 0 Italy 4 Drummed

Next up England v Ukraine and Sweden v France

TEAM NEWS

Theo Walcott has been declared fit for England's
make-or-break final Group D match on Tuesday in Donetsk but Ukraine striker
Andriy Shevchenko is a doubt.Walcott, who scored England's second in the 3-2 win over Sweden, suffered some
hamstring trouble in training on Sunday but is now recovered from the strain.

 Coach Roy Hodgson declared on Monday: "He [Walcott] is fit, and luckily we
don't have any injury concerns." Shevchenko, 35, is struggling with a left knee problem. He picked up the problem in the 2-1 win over Sweden. ,
though he then played in the 2-0 defeat against France.

 Ukraine must win at the Donbass Arena in Donetsk to qualify for the
quarter-finals at the expense of England, while a draw will be enough to see
Hodgson's side through.Shevchenko, who missed training on Sunday, scored both Ukraine's goals
against Sweden.

Come On ENGLAND

Sky Sports saying that Walcott will start instead of Milner and Rooney in for Carroll. Positive attacking changes from Hodgson especially bringing Walcott in.

Could Roy suprise us with a 442 then? That's what it cries out to me something like this....

I'm extremely surprised by this given how easily Sweden carved through us at times. I would have bet good money on him starting with a 5 man midfield.

I agree Matty, I think will make the middle of the park solid.

It was news to me that the goal was not offside. Navas was clearly in an offside position when the ball was initially played forward to Iniesta (see freeze frame below). Although he was not the active player at that point, surely he became active when Iniesta passed the ball to him (by which time we was in an onside position, being behind the ball)? Or have they tinkered with that rule too?

As the footy drags on.  

Bizarrely, as far as I can tell those same words were quoted by the pundits last night to prove that the goal was onside.

Just back from the 40c + heat of sharm el sheikh where i got the chance to view Englands and a few other games. England have done well to get into a situation where just a point will be enough to qualify. Having said that England have been pretty dire at times even the come back against Sweden hardly raised a semi !!!  I thought Parker was pretty poor against the Swedes and he is a player who we need on form. I am not going to 2nd guess how England will line up tonight, i really have no idea, the back 4 and goalie pick themselves. Gerrard (tho not the player he once was) will start likewise Rooney. Wouldnt be upset if Jones started in midfield tho i doubt it....but the rest of the positions and formation is up for grabs. Ukraine are capable of very neat and quick passing thru midfield to the front men..maybe a case for a strong midfield 3 with 2 wide players supporting Rooney...

No Schevchenko is a huge blow for Ukraine.

Doesn't look so far that Ukraine is missing him to much, except maybe in the finishing.

I actually think England have gotten worse as the tournament has gone on.

This is a team playing with total fear. It's dire.

Don't like the way ukraine just seemingly getting into the box so easy at times

In many ways if England go out this evening it will be like having mercy on an old dog by putting it to sleep.

Dreadful play by England,  Rooney is of the pace which is not surprising. Milner looks ponderous, the only bright point is Hart and Terry, thank god he's not locked up yet!
