Ukraine v Sweden

:00:48. > :00:53.Good evening. You can relax now a check out the other two sites in

:00:53. > :00:59.Group D. We start with a reminder of how England fared in their

:00:59. > :01:09.opening game against France. The commentators are Guy Mowbray and

:01:09. > :01:14.

:01:14. > :01:23.with an new cautious approach. The French side is the one England

:01:23. > :01:33.expected to face and arguably just one player away from full strength.

:01:33. > :01:34.

:01:34. > :01:40.Diarra starts in midfield. Evra, Cabaye and Nasri faced their

:01:40. > :01:47.Premier League counter pots. England on the defensive? Perhaps

:01:47. > :01:56.not quite as much as we thought. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain preferred

:01:56. > :02:01.to Stuart Downing on the left-hand side. No Wayne Rooney, he is

:02:01. > :02:11.suspended, of course. Just Ashley Young and Stephen Gerrard left from

:02:11. > :02:29.

:02:29. > :02:39.the team that lost to France in wide from his Manchester City

:02:39. > :02:50.

:02:50. > :02:58.could not get himself adjusted to put it into the centre! Big chance

:02:58. > :03:08.for Milner. Definitely onside, he just never wrapped his left foot

:03:08. > :03:25.

:03:25. > :03:31.rash. Joleon Lescott gives England the lead! Easy as you like! Created

:03:31. > :03:39.by the captain, scored by the Manchester city centre back. Inside

:03:39. > :03:45.half an hour. It is a great ball in but there is only England that want

:03:45. > :03:55.to attack it. It is a good header but perfect delivery and nobody

:03:55. > :04:12.

:04:12. > :04:22.from the French team wanted to Chamberlain and the teenager is

:04:22. > :04:23.

:04:23. > :05:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds

:05:20. > :05:28.his header in the first place and past Joe Hart in a flash. That was

:05:28. > :05:35.a cracker. It was, superbly taken. Look how deep England are. They are

:05:35. > :05:40.almost on the penalty spot. But a perfect finish. I think from

:05:40. > :05:47.England's point of view, the centre backs need to push on. Get on the

:05:47. > :05:57.edge of the penalty area. accuracy, the power and the pace,

:05:57. > :05:57.

:05:57. > :06:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds

:06:56. > :07:05.-- but. The goalkeeper of the class are all Joe Hart, it takes some

:07:06. > :07:19.

:07:19. > :07:24.certainly for Liverpool. This is fine, come inside. The next time he

:07:24. > :07:34.comes forward and you are playing against him, you are not sure if he

:07:34. > :07:34.

:07:34. > :08:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds

:08:26. > :08:36.referee thought it was unfair Lee. The referee is telling him to get

:08:36. > :08:37.

:08:37. > :08:47.up. Get him off, if you are really injured, get some treatment! He is

:08:47. > :09:23.

:09:23. > :09:29.gesticulating as though Johnson could have been a vital touch.

:09:29. > :09:39.Watch Hart here, I think he is crumbling. He is scrambling to get

:09:39. > :09:57.

:09:57. > :10:07.Rooney was instinctively trying to put it in from his seat in there

:10:07. > :10:32.

:10:32. > :10:38.stands! A lovely whipped ball in years ago in South Africa they

:10:38. > :10:43.started with a draw against United States of America. They were pretty

:10:43. > :10:47.much booed off the park. Very different now. It is France him are

:10:47. > :10:56.the more frustrated team and England will consider that job done.

:10:56. > :11:01.They have got a draw from their We would have been delighted with a

:11:01. > :11:05.win but you saw tonight that France have fantastic players. We are

:11:05. > :11:10.satisfied with the performance but we also said before the game, no

:11:10. > :11:15.matter what the result today, we do not get carried away. It is great

:11:15. > :11:19.to get off the mark and now we need to fill -- followed up with a win.

:11:19. > :11:24.Would it be fair to say the referee did not do you any favours at

:11:24. > :11:28.times? It is easy to look for excuses. Sometimes he gave us

:11:29. > :11:32.things that we did not deserve. We do not look at the referee, we look

:11:33. > :11:36.at our performance and analyse but overall we are satisfied. There

:11:36. > :11:42.were a lot of young players out there tonight, what have you

:11:43. > :11:52.proved? Yes, John players, but good players. Wayne Rooney showed all

:11:53. > :11:54.

:11:54. > :12:00.those years ago that if you are England have still failed to win

:12:00. > :12:04.any opening game in any European Championship game in history but a

:12:04. > :12:11.decent result against quite possibly the best team in the group.

:12:11. > :12:15.Lee Dixon, would you say that is fair enough? Decent result, decent

:12:15. > :12:19.performance at times. There are lots of issues that they can

:12:20. > :12:25.improve on. They played quite deep at times and the centre backs were

:12:25. > :12:30.not quite sure who to pick up. But I thought the youngsters did very

:12:30. > :12:36.well, well back did ever so well, Parker was everywhere, and I

:12:36. > :12:40.thought the performance was encouraging -- Welbeck. The French

:12:40. > :12:46.at the back, I thought the two centre-backs were there for the

:12:47. > :12:50.taking. They seemed to start each half well and then petered out.

:12:50. > :12:55.am pretty sure that we Hodgson after 25 minutes would have been

:12:55. > :13:02.delighted with the way that they started the game. Well back was

:13:02. > :13:08.giving the back for all sorts of problems. -- Danny Welbeck. The one

:13:08. > :13:12.thing that disappointed me is that we scored a great goal from a free-

:13:12. > :13:17.kick but we did not seem to get enough balls into the box after

:13:17. > :13:26.that. But you would have taken that before the game, without a doubt.

:13:26. > :13:31.Forgive me for getting the English few First! I endorsed entirely what

:13:31. > :13:37.the two guys have said. The first half, I thought the movement was

:13:38. > :13:46.intelligent and Bright. They got the goal and they possibly might

:13:46. > :13:50.have had two or three. Then, as Lee said, the French came into the

:13:50. > :13:55.ascendancy and England went deeper and deeper. They paid the ultimate

:13:56. > :14:00.prize for it. Two small criticisms, they did go to, and secondly when

:14:00. > :14:07.you're under pressure and it is very hot, you have to hold that.

:14:07. > :14:10.But boy Hodgson will be delighted with that performance. For all our

:14:10. > :14:19.play in that first 30 minutes, we never really troubled the

:14:19. > :14:29.goalkeeper. Milner had a great chance but he never hit the target.

:14:29. > :14:43.

:14:43. > :14:49.Hit the target once! This came from shoulder of Diarra. For me, that is

:14:50. > :14:59.not -- that is what we did not do enough of. I would have thought, we

:15:00. > :15:02.

:15:02. > :15:09.have seen them panic and struggle There was almost immediately the

:15:09. > :15:14.sense of sitting back. It is so easy to do. The 18 yard line, that

:15:14. > :15:24.should be the sanctuary, but to knock it back towards your

:15:24. > :15:33.

:15:33. > :15:39.That line is always there. Do not go into the box unless you have to.

:15:39. > :15:49.It France only threatened from long-range shot. The French did not

:15:49. > :15:53.

:15:53. > :16:03.want to get behind, they felt they players, they are all in there. --

:16:03. > :16:10.

:16:10. > :16:14.added ends up in the back of the net.

:16:14. > :16:17.If you do not have anyone to mark for long periods of the game, you

:16:17. > :16:21.almost get into a false sense of security and think you will just

:16:21. > :16:26.told that line. All this sudden, you drop back, because you let the

:16:26. > :16:30.people in front of you do your work. You should step up a little bit.

:16:30. > :16:33.Gerrard should have been holding a higher line.

:16:33. > :16:43.Should that come from the goalkeeper or the central

:16:43. > :16:44.

:16:44. > :16:50.It should come from John Terry and from the goalkeeper. He should be

:16:50. > :16:53.on the 18-yard line. The goalkeeper should be telling them to push out.

:16:53. > :16:59.If you are a centre half and it is hot, you are quite happy staying

:16:59. > :17:04.there, because all the work is going on in front of the!

:17:04. > :17:08.At the other red, there was a lot of promising play from England,

:17:08. > :17:13.particularly in the first half on the break.

:17:13. > :17:23.This is what the French did not do, running behind. Welbeck was full of

:17:23. > :17:34.

:17:34. > :17:44.that. He is going up against Rami available. He did this all first

:17:44. > :17:57.

:17:57. > :18:04.great run. For me, he has got to score there.

:18:04. > :18:08.He is falling away, and you have got to go across the goalkeeper.

:18:08. > :18:18.Penises to put the ball in quickly. The forwards have made their run

:18:18. > :18:29.

:18:29. > :18:33.Welbeck was terrific in that first 30 minutes.

:18:33. > :18:37.When you run that way, behind defenders, they will go deeper, and

:18:37. > :18:41.then you can go forward and you can turn, because the defenders are

:18:41. > :18:47.expecting you to run in the Hyde, so I thought Welbeck did both jobs

:18:47. > :18:52.very well. He shows a lot of promise. He could

:18:52. > :19:02.be a real find for England. The defending at times was very stoic,

:19:02. > :19:31.

:19:31. > :19:37.but not the heart or spirit, it was France were expecting to beat us,

:19:37. > :19:43.but we have come at with a point. If you look at the French,

:19:44. > :19:49.technically, they are very good, but England were very good.

:19:49. > :19:53.Let's get the thought of the manager, Roy Hodgson.

:19:53. > :19:57.1-1 against France. A good performance overall?

:19:57. > :20:01.I thought we played well. The boys put in a good performance from

:20:01. > :20:05.start to finish. There were times in the game where they kept

:20:05. > :20:10.possession very well and last -- asked a lot of questions in the

:20:10. > :20:14.final third. They take an extra pass, an extra pass, and they are

:20:14. > :20:18.waiting for you to lose your shape or your discipline so they can slip

:20:18. > :20:23.somebody in, but with the chances in the game, we had some very good

:20:23. > :20:27.ones ourselves. The result does not flatter us.

:20:27. > :20:31.You said you wanted to see England passing and moving better. Did you

:20:31. > :20:35.see that today? At times, yes. We started the

:20:35. > :20:38.second half well. We need to build up our confidence so that when we

:20:38. > :20:43.get the ball in the final third, made it we take that extra touch

:20:43. > :20:45.and extra pass and having little more patience. It is quite an

:20:46. > :20:50.English characteristic, but when you reach this level of football,

:20:50. > :20:53.you get caught out a little bit if you do not do it, and then the

:20:53. > :20:58.counter-attacks can become a very dangerous, as happened on a couple

:20:58. > :21:04.of occasions. Steven Gerrard put in a great ball

:21:04. > :21:06.for Joleon Lescott's first goal. Yes, it was a great ball. The

:21:06. > :21:11.French have a good spell before half-time which led to the

:21:11. > :21:15.equaliser. Not a good time to concede. I

:21:15. > :21:20.assume you wanted to hang on to half-time and reassess things?

:21:20. > :21:25.Yes, if we had done so, I think we could have got away with it, as we

:21:25. > :21:31.took control again at the start of the second half.

:21:31. > :21:32.Sensible words from her Roy Hodgson. Sensible words from her Roy Hodgson.

:21:33. > :21:38.Sensible words from her Roy Hodgson. Sensible words from her Roy Hodgson.

:21:39. > :21:43.P Beckett guises the frailties. They

:21:43. > :21:48.They lost their lead by losing possession. The passing when the

:21:48. > :21:55.defence lost it, England were not great at times towards the end of

:21:55. > :22:01.the first half. That is the frailty. Expectations are probably growing a

:22:01. > :22:05.little. Let's keep it calm! Tighter focus on our live game, two

:22:05. > :22:10.European giants. Ukraine is the biggest country entirely in Europe,

:22:10. > :22:18.and Sweden is fourth-biggest. It may only have gained independence

:22:18. > :22:23.in 1991, but Ukraine has a rich The welcome to Ukraine, and you

:22:23. > :22:31.have to be careful, it is not the Ukraine, it is simply Ukraine.

:22:31. > :22:36.Thank you for having us. This place has a quite remarkable

:22:36. > :22:41.past. Here is a quick history lesson.

:22:41. > :22:46.The earliest form of Ukraine was the first Russian state, and the

:22:46. > :22:54.largest in Europe. Until it was smashed to pieces after attacks

:22:54. > :22:59.from all sides, including the Mongolians. By the 12th century,

:22:59. > :23:04.Ukraine was carved into three. The borders kept changing, until a

:23:04. > :23:08.massive war between Poland, Russia and the Cossacks divided it into

:23:08. > :23:13.little regions. After all those problems after all those years,

:23:13. > :23:21.still Ukraine could not find peace. But thankfully, they had Motherland

:23:21. > :23:27.mother, who looks like a decent centre-half, to protect them.

:23:27. > :23:31.This is the bit that everyone remembers. The Russians. They had

:23:32. > :23:36.always been there or thereabouts in Ukrainian history. By the 19th

:23:36. > :23:41.century, they owned a large part of it. By the 20th century, Lenin had

:23:41. > :23:46.taken over the lot and for the USSR. Then the Germans decided they

:23:46. > :23:50.fancied running it for a while. Not for long, though, as there followed

:23:50. > :23:57.50 years of communist rule, until that fell to pieces and Ukraine was

:23:57. > :24:04.married wanted to be. -- where it wanted to be.

:24:04. > :24:10.Finally, Ukraine is its own country, and what a country it is. In fact,

:24:10. > :24:14.Lviv is a world heritage site. Remarkably, it was right here where

:24:14. > :24:18.Polish football first started, because they owed this place then a.

:24:18. > :24:22.Not those 3, Poland owed this part of the world, at the first goal by

:24:22. > :24:28.Polish food - barrack the first goal of Polish football was caught

:24:28. > :24:33.here. This is moonshine, a typical

:24:33. > :24:43.Ukrainian Fokker that you follow up with pork fat to soak up the

:24:43. > :24:49.

:24:49. > :24:53.alcohol. -- Ukrainian that the Down south is Crimea, home to the

:24:53. > :25:02.Crimean War. It was the Iraq -- inspiration behind the charge of

:25:02. > :25:10.the Light Brigade. Ukrainians paint their Easter eggs. Anyway, famous

:25:10. > :25:15.pork spare income -- include Andriy Shevchenko and Sergei Butko. He was

:25:15. > :25:21.born in Donetsk, a coal-mining city formed in the 18th century by a

:25:21. > :25:25.Welshman. As far as Kiev is concerned, I am afraid it was not

:25:25. > :25:33.founded by a Welshman. Oh, and chicken Kiev, they were not

:25:33. > :25:37.invented here. But Dynamo Kyiv are from here. They are not bad. They

:25:37. > :25:40.have won three European trophies. As for the Ukraine national team,

:25:40. > :25:47.over the years, they have been slightly less successful, but they

:25:48. > :25:51.do get to host the final right here at the Olympic Stadium.

:25:51. > :26:01.Jake is still in Ukraine, in the centre of Kiev in the Fan Mile.

:26:01. > :26:07.

:26:07. > :26:10.I am, I get all the best jobs! On a night where Ukraine appear at the

:26:10. > :26:14.European Championship for the first time, the place to be his Kiev, the

:26:15. > :26:20.square that has been so central for the struggle for independence.

:26:20. > :26:25.Since Ukraine's a session to independence, this place has been

:26:25. > :26:30.Independence Square, but it was not the end of the story in 1991. It

:26:47. > :26:55.years that if Ukraine wanted to his boys to be heard, this is where it

:26:55. > :26:57.comes. -- the President standing on a stage. This country, you feel

:26:58. > :27:01.they have finally got the independence they work so hard for

:27:01. > :27:06.over the years, but what they are looking for is their identity, and

:27:06. > :27:09.I think the next couple of weeks is more important for Ukraine to show

:27:09. > :27:14.Europe what they can offer off the football pitch as well as on it.

:27:14. > :27:20.Tonight, it is what is happening on the pitch. Tens of thousands of

:27:20. > :27:23.people are rain here enjoying the local brew, and I was thinking that

:27:23. > :27:28.if Andriy Shevchenko has caused their tour -- plenty of goals, you

:27:28. > :27:38.never know, you could come here on holiday next summer and have a

:27:38. > :27:38.

:27:38. > :27:44.coffee in a Shevchenko square! Inside a noisy stadium are Jonathan

:27:44. > :27:49.Pearce and Martin Keown. It is very hot, steamy, sweaty,

:27:49. > :27:54.yellow inside the stadium. And very loud as well. The noise levels

:27:54. > :28:00.increased when it was known that Shevchenko start for Ukraine. The

:28:00. > :28:03.national hero of this country. Are you surprised he starts?

:28:03. > :28:08.Since they gained independence, he has flown the flag throughout

:28:08. > :28:12.Europe. He is a goalscorer with an eye for goal, I expected to do well

:28:12. > :28:20.tonight. Conditions will play a part, it is

:28:20. > :28:24.very humid, the Swedes will rely on Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Heavily

:28:24. > :28:28.criticised in England, but playing in a deeper role these days.

:28:29. > :28:32.I saw him at Wembley earlier in the season, he is a good player. He

:28:32. > :28:36.understands his role in the team better at he is more of a team

:28:36. > :28:41.player now. Watch out for Yarmolenko on one

:28:41. > :28:44.side, a useful man with lots of pace. What did you think about

:28:44. > :28:53.England? We were very well-organised and can

:28:53. > :28:57.be happy with that. It was a credit -- Welbeck was a credit.

:28:57. > :29:01.A draw the best result England can hope for here?

:29:01. > :29:06.Yes, then moved towards the Swedish game.

:29:06. > :29:13.If Shevchenko is cause for Ukraine tonight, there will be a national

:29:13. > :29:17.holiday. It is a sensational atmosphere.

:29:17. > :29:23.You spend some time in Ukraine, Allen. What is it like out there,

:29:23. > :29:26.the atmosphere? I read that the Polish coach said

:29:26. > :29:31.that his team collapsed in the second half under the pressure from

:29:31. > :29:34.their home fans. If he thinks they are under pressure, he should visit

:29:35. > :29:38.to Ukraine and see the pressure they are under, because I fancied a

:29:38. > :29:43.great atmosphere, really happy and excited, wanting to get the

:29:43. > :29:46.football under way, but they are expectant.

:29:46. > :29:55.If I saw a great line from Oleh Blokhin, he does not want any

:29:55. > :29:59.donkey's! He is the Ukrainian Alan Hansen!

:29:59. > :30:06.They have got some pace up front we Shevchenko and Voronin. Against

:30:06. > :30:16.Mellberg. Sweden qualified as best runners up.

:30:16. > :30:21.

:30:21. > :30:27.We played there host nation in the first game and that is always going

:30:27. > :30:32.to be tough considering the support that they have. It is a tough side

:30:32. > :30:42.with some skilful players but I think we are possibly at an equal

:30:42. > :30:52.

:30:52. > :30:59.level circle be a tough game. -- so it will be a tough game. With his

:30:59. > :31:05.attitude and everything, he gives us a lot. When he gets the ball, he

:31:05. > :31:11.can turn and pined the small spaces between the midfield and the

:31:11. > :31:15.defensive line and we can push up the team. Everybody is hungry here.

:31:15. > :31:25.They want to do their best in French of the Swedish fans and in

:31:25. > :31:26.

:31:26. > :31:34.front of the coach. -- in front off. We play every game to win. But

:31:34. > :31:39.first goal is to get past the group stage. The Swedish press describe

:31:39. > :31:48.their team as sexy but unreliable. Certainly looking forward to the

:31:48. > :31:55.game now! They play a very open game. They are attacking keep

:31:55. > :32:00.possession and get forward but they are not the greatest at the back.

:32:00. > :32:04.Mellberg getting on a bit. With that, you tend to get a really

:32:04. > :32:13.opening game, they create a lot of chances but give a lot of chances

:32:13. > :32:19.away. We always say that Ibrahimovic is slightly enigmatic.

:32:19. > :32:23.A do not think we can ever doubt his ability. He has a lot of polls

:32:23. > :32:28.in Italy it is a question more about the big game. He has got a

:32:28. > :32:33.lot of goals for his national team as well. The one thing you can

:32:33. > :32:37.doubt sometimes is his attitude. Back comes from the way he is, the

:32:37. > :32:43.way he jogs around, the perception is that he sometimes does not work

:32:43. > :32:47.as hard as he showed. But they will be relying on him, he is the God of

:32:47. > :32:51.their team, and did they are going to go further, he has to score and

:32:51. > :32:56.he has to perform. He is their talisman but interestingly they

:32:56. > :33:03.have a better record when he does play. There is another camp that

:33:03. > :33:09.says not convinced, and I would be in the latter! I am with Martin

:33:09. > :33:14.O'Neill, he doesn't like him either. As for Ukraine, they will be hoping

:33:14. > :33:24.to see the old Shevchenko. Actually, they would probably prefer begun

:33:24. > :33:26.

:33:26. > :33:33.Shevchenko, but you know what I mean! Here is the man himself.

:33:33. > :33:41.Welcome to Kiev. Ukraine and Kiev is my home. It was my dream to

:33:41. > :33:46.finish my career here in Ukraine in my club, Dynamo Kiev, and the

:33:46. > :33:55.national team. I know that country did everything to make the

:33:55. > :34:02.competition to recurred. The stadium in Donetsk, and the stadium

:34:02. > :34:11.here, they tried to everything the best for Euro 2012. We have a very

:34:11. > :34:18.difficult group. European competition is different to the

:34:18. > :34:25.World Cup because in Europe there are so many good teams. I tried to

:34:25. > :34:31.do everything to be fed. I know I am not 25 or 23 years old and I

:34:31. > :34:38.have to do a lot of work to be fit for this big competition. If we are

:34:38. > :34:45.good enough to past the group, then it will make us stronger, give us

:34:45. > :34:55.more confidence, and you never know. For us it will be something

:34:55. > :34:57.

:34:57. > :35:07.impossible, unbelievable, to win at the euro 2012. It kids a dream. --

:35:07. > :35:07.

:35:07. > :35:11.it is a dream. You have to try. There he is, at the man himself. I

:35:11. > :35:20.tell you if he scores tonight, they bought named the whole country

:35:20. > :35:26.after him! He is their talisman. He nearly did not get into the squad.

:35:26. > :35:32.Blokhin said it was not about names. He has certainly lost his pace so

:35:32. > :35:38.he is now just averagely pace because it was electric!

:35:38. > :35:44.wonderfully gifted player in his prime. Such a nice guy as well. We

:35:44. > :35:50.did not see the best of him in this country. When he was in Milan he

:35:50. > :35:55.was sensational and he came to Chelsea, it was like he was pulling

:35:55. > :36:01.her train when he was running. I met him 10 months later and I felt

:36:01. > :36:05.really bad say it because he was such a nice guy. He is a legend in

:36:05. > :36:12.Ukraine. The if he had this thing go tonight, will you be nice about

:36:12. > :36:17.him? I'm always nice! Ukraine, we expect them to play on the counter

:36:17. > :36:23.attack. Yes, they get everybody behind the ball and they tend to

:36:23. > :36:27.try and break. They have pace on the wings. Yarmolenko is a decent

:36:27. > :36:31.player so they will try to hit Sweden on the break. Sweden are

:36:31. > :36:36.open to the counter attack so heavily there will be a few chances.

:36:36. > :36:41.How do you see this on panning out? What an incentive that is for both

:36:41. > :36:46.of them to win this game and set themselves up. They will have heard

:36:46. > :36:53.the result from France and England so they know that if they get a win

:36:53. > :36:59.here they are probably favourites to take second place. You watch the

:36:59. > :37:04.game, hoping for a draw. On paper, you would expect England to beat

:37:04. > :37:11.either of the sides. Looking at it, Ukraine, home advantage should help

:37:11. > :37:16.them. Again, it is whether you can handle it. The experience that we

:37:16. > :37:19.had in Euro 96 is that for two years you have not played any

:37:19. > :37:27.competitive games because your automatic qualifiers. You're

:37:27. > :37:31.desperate to get into the game. it to help or a hindrance? It can

:37:31. > :37:34.work as a bit of both. Friendly games are not the same as

:37:34. > :37:42.competitive games. It will be interesting to see how they start

:37:42. > :37:47.this game. Ukraine or Sweden for you, Lee? If they get off to a good

:37:47. > :37:52.start, I think Ukraine will beat Sweden, but Sweden can score from

:37:52. > :37:55.anywhere, so it should be high scoring, hopefully! This is the

:37:55. > :38:05.last game of the opening phase and if we have saved the best form last

:38:05. > :38:38.

:38:38. > :38:48.is should be a very good game Our commentators in the Olympic

:38:57. > :39:03.a scorching hot summer day. The air heavy with national anticipation.

:39:03. > :39:10.The Olympic Stadium is where the competition comes alive for the

:39:10. > :39:13.host nation. Tonight the ordinary people of what is at complexity are

:39:14. > :39:21.determined to enjoy it there because day since the orange

:39:21. > :39:28.revolution eight years ago. Tonight, a vibrant place in Kiev, a place of

:39:28. > :39:35.hope and unity, in support of their national I can't, Blokhin, and his

:39:35. > :39:40.underrated team. There is Andrei Shevchenko. To many it was as

:39:40. > :39:45.surprised that he starts tonight but there is no bigger name in the

:39:45. > :39:55.Ukraine football than the man who was not successful at Chelsea after

:39:55. > :39:56.

:39:56. > :40:01.his big-money move. But he has won 18 trophies in his career,

:40:01. > :40:08.including European Footballer of the Year. And there is Zlatan

:40:08. > :40:14.Ibrahimovic, so much depends for Sweden on their talismanic striker.

:40:14. > :40:24.They have nine players who were at Euro 2000 debate. Sweden are at

:40:24. > :40:25.

:40:25. > :40:34.their 50 Championships, Ukraine have never played in the finals. --

:40:34. > :40:39.fifth. The game is as intriguing as this city itself. A draw would be

:40:39. > :40:43.the best result for Roy Hodgson, but as we heard Alan Shearer say,

:40:43. > :40:48.we are delving into the unknown a little bit with Ukraine because

:40:48. > :40:55.they have not played competitively for a couple of years. That is

:40:55. > :40:58.correct, they are an unknown quantity. We talk about them, but

:40:58. > :41:05.if they play anything like their near neighbours Russia, we will be

:41:05. > :41:12.in for quite a game tonight. When they step out underneath this

:41:12. > :41:20.remodelled main stand, you will here the noise. Everyone is wearing

:41:20. > :41:30.the yellow of Ukraine, the Yellow of Sweden. There is the Turkish

:41:30. > :41:34.

:41:34. > :41:39.referee. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the teams!

:41:39. > :41:49.Shevchenko has waited so long for this moment. What a greeting for

:41:49. > :41:53.

:41:53. > :42:02.him. Will he carried them main goal threat! -- will he carried the main

:42:02. > :42:08.goal Fred? They do have youngsters in the team as well. There are

:42:08. > :42:18.smiles on the faces of Swedish and Ukraine fans in the ground and

:46:54. > :47:03.will not play today. Sweden have recalled Markus Rosenberg. He has

:47:27. > :47:32.Ibrahimovic according to his manager. -- Rasmus Elm. Shevchenko

:47:32. > :47:37.may not last the 90 minutes, he is not expected to play all three of

:47:37. > :47:47.their games. They may call on Devych if they needed goal, he is a

:47:47. > :47:51.

:47:51. > :47:56.poacher. Two very good goalscorers at club level, one has a proven

:47:56. > :48:01.record at international level, Ibrahimovic, though, his 31 goals

:48:01. > :48:10.for his country, only four have come against top 10 international

:48:11. > :48:16.side. It will be Sweden in their change strip who will pick us off

:48:16. > :48:19.and get us under way, and we saw in Poland's opening game, a great

:48:19. > :48:25.start by the host nation, and then the emotion got to them and they

:48:25. > :48:30.trained a little bit. They allowed Greece, with ten men, back into the

:48:30. > :48:40.game. I do not know if we will see the same from Ukraine. They have

:48:40. > :48:44.all heads in their. -- old heads. What a change in this stadium in

:50:59. > :51:14.

:51:14. > :51:18.team, Ibrahimovic will play slightly deeper. He likes a

:51:18. > :51:23.slightly differently in this Swedish set up.

:51:23. > :51:27.A very different start to how Poland started in their game. I

:51:27. > :51:36.tried to convey how warm it is, I think we will see a progressive

:51:36. > :51:46.game from the host nation. Rasmus Elm is playing in a deeper role to

:51:46. > :52:03.

:52:03. > :52:13.the one we thought he might because he had a spell there. Voronin, his

:52:13. > :52:36.

:52:36. > :52:45.these days. They did well in Russia this season. The left-back has

:52:46. > :52:49.really come through this season. A little tester from range. The

:52:50. > :52:58.good ability, not frightened to shoot from distance, selling, but

:52:58. > :53:05.that wildly hit. That was Konoplyanka.

:53:37. > :53:43.An experienced player, his 4th tournament, always has a quick left

:53:43. > :53:53.foot. -- a good left foot. He plays for Olympique Lyonnais is, and will

:53:53. > :54:09.

:54:09. > :54:15.pass beautifully from a defensive Ibrahimovic's performance and that

:54:15. > :54:18.of Sweden in Croatia in February was described by a former

:54:18. > :54:22.international as their best performance in a decade. When you

:54:22. > :54:26.think of the team that played in England earlier in the season, they

:54:26. > :54:35.were woeful, lacking in ideas, and it was that performance that

:54:35. > :54:40.persuaded them to change things. They all know their roles in the

:54:41. > :54:50.team, Ibrahimovic has become a much better team player now. He

:54:50. > :55:00.recognises his responsibilities. That was a difficult ball for

:55:00. > :55:19.

:55:19. > :55:29.Khacheridi, but he got back. Lustig this season because of a

:55:29. > :55:38.

:55:38. > :55:43.wants to drift in from the line. We have not seen Shevchenko in the

:55:43. > :55:46.game yet. He took my breath away when I played against him in 1999.

:55:46. > :55:52.It would be interesting if he can recapture some of that tonight,

:55:52. > :55:56.just as some of that may be enough. To think Arsenal would have beaten

:55:56. > :56:00.Dynamo Kyiv that day if you have played at Highbury?

:56:00. > :56:07.Yes, we played at Wembley, had it felt like every game was an away

:56:07. > :56:14.game. Playing on your shoulder the whole time, his pace was phenomenal.

:56:14. > :56:19.He is conserving energy and waiting for an opportunity at the moment.

:56:19. > :56:28.Erik Hamren is back in charge, six wins from his 13 games in charge so

:56:28. > :56:36.far. Ukraine have always had great footballers. Eight of the Soviet

:56:36. > :56:40.team that got to the final in 1988 were from Ukraine. The coach was

:56:40. > :56:47.one of the all-time greats, took almost the entire Dynamo Kyiv team

:56:47. > :56:57.to that squad -- to that tournament. Tymoshchuk is playing further

:57:08. > :57:12.possession. But he has just retired to Mellberg back there.

:57:12. > :57:19.Between them, those two have 220 caps.

:57:19. > :57:29.While! You have to respect Mellberg, the number of competitions he has

:57:29. > :57:58.

:57:58. > :58:02.thought he might. Four goals in his last six starts. Tina Shick has

:58:02. > :58:12.been detailed to watch a Zlatan Ibrahimovic, that is clear. --

:58:12. > :58:14.

:58:14. > :58:18.Tymoshchuk. He has made over 100 appearances for his country.

:58:19. > :58:28.I have sympathy for him there. I thought he got hold of the ball.

:58:29. > :59:01.

:59:01. > :59:11.quality from those areas. Swedish fans appealing very hopefully for a

:59:11. > :59:34.

:59:34. > :59:44.penalty. The first yellow card, and the referee. The Ukrainians were on

:59:44. > :59:56.

:59:56. > :00:06.in the European Under 21 Championship in 2006. The Ukrainian

:00:06. > :00:09.

:00:09. > :00:13.team, that is. This is Ukraine's first competitive

:01:27. > :01:41.

:01:41. > :01:45.crones and whistles, just starting poor stock at the moment, and

:01:45. > :01:53.Sweden are nice and compact. But I think the football will come from

:01:53. > :02:00.Ukraine. Just a little bit of tension in the players early on.

:02:00. > :02:10.There is pressure on Ukraine to reach the quarter-finals at least,

:02:10. > :02:10.

:02:10. > :02:57.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds

:02:57. > :03:03.Ibrahimovic. He is certainly a big boy and that is an area where they

:03:03. > :03:13.will need to improve. We serve an earlier -- we saw an earlier one

:03:13. > :03:34.

:03:34. > :03:44.from Larsson, and it went out as brave. The book came up from

:12:02. > :12:11.what he is interested in, getting in behind the last defender. It is

:12:11. > :12:17.a very difficult angle and he sends it wide. He was nursed through the

:21:33. > :21:37.treatment, he has just had some new laces for those heavily endorsed

:26:38. > :26:45.He has got to do better with his cross there. We know Voronin has

:26:45. > :26:51.had his ponytail cut off, but he looks like a great player.

:26:51. > :27:01.He has never played club football in Ukraine. Played all his

:27:01. > :27:01.

:27:01. > :27:11.professional football in Germany. Oh, dear, oh, dear! Just a lazy

:27:11. > :27:16.back-pass. Ibrahimovic hit the post, the

:27:16. > :27:21.keeper looked at the defence who were nowhere.

:27:21. > :27:28.He has got time and space. He picked his spot and unfortunately

:27:28. > :27:38.put it wide. He should be burying that. That is how you Markell to

:35:14. > :35:21.it was going to be the best game we had seen he would have to be quite

:35:21. > :35:31.something. It was not! The first half was a bit of a non-event. It

:35:31. > :35:31.

:35:31. > :35:39.livened up in the final 15 minutes. Early on, Sweden defended the 18

:35:39. > :35:44.yard line very well, St Ewe Ukraine, come on and try to beat us. Then

:35:44. > :35:49.they decided to defend higher up the pitch. When you get that right

:35:49. > :35:56.it looks easy, when you get it wrong, you are in big trouble. Once

:35:56. > :36:05.they started to that, Voronin got in, and Shevchenko had possibly the

:36:05. > :36:13.best chance of the half. Overall, there seems to be a lack of quality

:36:13. > :36:17.from both teams. I would agree with you. When they increased the

:36:17. > :36:25.tournament to another few teams in four years, this will be the

:36:25. > :36:30.question. It is quite clear to see that, ability wise, it is not as

:36:30. > :36:35.good for as interesting as we have seen. Not necessarily bad news for

:36:36. > :36:39.England. Very good news for England. The guys will have nothing to fear

:36:39. > :36:46.watching these two teams in the first half. But they should have

:36:47. > :36:54.been a goal at either end. Leak, it did not quite turn out how eight

:36:54. > :37:04.you thought it would be because Sweden generally play quite open.

:37:04. > :37:07.

:37:07. > :37:11.Exactly. They caught Ukraine by are not bothered. It is the

:37:11. > :37:15.opposite of what we thought. The pressure is on Ukraine to go

:37:15. > :37:21.forward, the crowd want them to go for it, and that is not their

:37:21. > :37:27.normal game. Sweden changed after 15 minutes and started to play are

:37:27. > :37:32.high line. It is a good line but there is no pressure on the ball.

:37:32. > :37:38.Shevchenko is just off side and they get that right. But we have

:37:38. > :37:48.seen time and time again, you get it partially wrong, and you are in

:37:48. > :37:52.

:37:52. > :38:01.trouble. Mellberg was terrific. should have scored there. He gets

:38:01. > :38:06.in because of the line, because Sweden did better when everything

:38:06. > :38:13.was in front of them. Now the ball is go behind the man runners are

:38:13. > :38:18.going behind them and they look on the ball. It was interesting how

:38:18. > :38:25.things change. I presume they came from the coach. You get more

:38:25. > :38:28.confident and you think you can push up the pitch. Shevchenko, the

:38:29. > :38:34.first 50 minutes, they did not think he was playing because he did

:38:35. > :38:44.not touch the ball. Ibrahimovic, we always have a debate about him!

:38:45. > :38:45.

:38:45. > :38:55.Anything remotely dangers, he has been part of. He is the focal point

:38:55. > :38:58.

:38:58. > :39:08.What the goalkeeper it -- what the goalkeeper is doing, I am not quite

:39:08. > :39:08.

:39:08. > :39:18.sure. Most good things that have happened for Sweden, he is the one

:39:18. > :39:19.

:39:19. > :39:28.threat. But this is the infuriating part of him. He pulls off his man

:39:28. > :39:38.at the far post. It was like the one we saw for Germany but he did

:39:38. > :39:38.

:39:38. > :39:46.How do you see this changing in the second half? Both sides, England

:39:46. > :39:50.and France, coming up, they must be thinking we have to win this.

:39:50. > :39:54.team should win this. Could they come and have a go and take their

:39:54. > :40:00.chances that they will win. They look a bit anxious when they get in

:40:00. > :40:05.front of goal because they know what the win means for them. If he

:40:05. > :40:15.did come in late and missed England against France, here is a brief

:40:15. > :40:39.

:40:39. > :40:49.could not get himself adjusted to lead! It is a great ball in but

:42:16. > :42:17.

:42:17. > :42:22.It is a good start, we would like to have won. We sat back a bit

:42:22. > :42:29.which was a bit silly of us but we dug in and got the result. What

:42:29. > :42:36.about the goal? He hit it well, it was through a lot of bodies. I like

:42:36. > :42:43.to save everything, but not that one. Did you see it? Not very well!

:42:43. > :42:47.That is football, there are bodies in the way. You do your best but

:42:47. > :42:54.unfortunately it went in. He beat Joe Hart from 20 yards, had he

:42:54. > :43:00.teased him about it yet? A little bit! I know that he knows me in

:43:00. > :43:05.training when I shoot so instead of opening my foot by a cold it in the

:43:05. > :43:11.first post and he was a little bit surprised, so I am really happy

:43:11. > :43:21.that I scored. When I come back I can tease him! What about Roy

:43:21. > :43:28.Hodgson and what he said to you? Is he pleased? Definitely. We showed

:43:28. > :43:34.quality at certain times and our organisation is there. When did you

:43:34. > :43:37.decide to play Oxlade-Chamberlain? Fairly early on. He has been

:43:37. > :43:41.extremely good in training and he is the type of player that I

:43:41. > :43:45.thought might just get away from them in midfield, as he did on

:43:45. > :43:50.three occasions, but he got brought down. Had he been allowed to

:43:50. > :43:55.continue he might have put a pass in. It was a massive honour for me

:43:55. > :43:58.to go out there today, to see all the travelling England fans, and

:43:58. > :44:05.you realise you're playing in the European finals tournament. When

:44:05. > :44:08.did you find out you were starting? This afternoon. That late?

:44:08. > :44:14.Sometimes the boss tells you the team before, today it was on the

:44:14. > :44:19.day. You have to always prepare and be ready. It was important not to

:44:19. > :44:25.lose. Is this in you England we are seeing? I think so, it was clear to

:44:25. > :44:30.see that we were tactically aware against a very good team which has

:44:30. > :44:36.a free shape and they play with lot of players in and around two. But

:44:36. > :44:41.we stayed disciplined and at times we had a little bit more composure.

:44:41. > :44:46.We need to build on this now and stay positive. What changes now

:44:46. > :44:50.between this game and Sweden? have to rest, I think you saw there

:44:50. > :44:55.were some tired bodies out there and it is very hard. I do not think

:44:55. > :45:00.anybody expected that when Ukraine and Poland were announced. I think

:45:00. > :45:05.the lads have to recover and dig deep and then we have to score some

:45:05. > :45:09.goals. Not quite there when we were discussing the other day, but does

:45:09. > :45:15.that draw goes some way to addressing the disappointment of

:45:15. > :45:19.the defeat in 2004? Yes, of course. We do not look back as players, we

:45:19. > :45:24.look forward. It is any good tonight if we go on to get the

:45:24. > :45:28.points that we need to get out of the group. There is still lots of

:45:28. > :45:32.hard work to do and we will analyse this game, where we have gone wrong,

:45:32. > :45:42.what we did right, and we will go into Sweden all recovered from

:45:42. > :46:02.

:46:02. > :46:09.All of our live matches and highlight programmes are available

:46:09. > :46:13.on the iPlayer. Now a alternative view with Chris pop -- Chris Waddle.

:46:13. > :46:17.What did you make of the performance?

:46:17. > :46:22.I thought it was genuine, honest, they defended very well. Perhaps

:46:22. > :46:26.they kept their shape too well at times. We were hard to beat. The

:46:26. > :46:30.ideal scenario is the counter- attack as the set piece, where we

:46:30. > :46:34.got one with a great ball in from Steven Gerrard. Apart from that, we

:46:34. > :46:39.still do not seem to create enough when we have the ball, we give it

:46:39. > :46:44.away cheaply, we need one or two players to come around a bit more

:46:44. > :46:50.and ask questions of the other team. We have got those players, but they

:46:50. > :46:55.are not just -- just not doing it? James Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain,

:46:55. > :47:03.they can do that. Babel drift inside and look for the poor, and

:47:03. > :47:08.that is what you want, clever players, Paul, like France had. --

:47:08. > :47:12.clever players on the ball. The first 15 minutes, it was like a

:47:12. > :47:17.practice match because there was so much respect. All of a sudden,

:47:17. > :47:23.England scored, France show what they have got. They are over 20

:47:23. > :47:27.games unbeaten and you can say what -- see why. If you are going to

:47:27. > :47:32.criticise France, they do not get enough bodies in a box. There were

:47:32. > :47:37.three players who they lead to what they want.

:47:37. > :47:41.France irate Dog course. England matched them, so our expectations

:47:41. > :47:50.now growing for the chances in the tournament?

:47:50. > :47:54.I hope not. I hope people realise that the younger players are coming

:47:54. > :48:01.in, had Roy Hodgson should be looking to think that we need to

:48:01. > :48:06.qualify for the next World Cup, and I would be looking to the European

:48:06. > :48:10.Championships in four years to see what we could do. Maybe then we can

:48:10. > :48:16.get a side together to challenge. He has done the basics, we are hard

:48:16. > :48:20.to beat, then you can take the next step.

:48:20. > :48:26.Interesting points made in terms of flexibility, letting players wander

:48:27. > :48:31.around. It is hard to do it within that 4-4-2 system, isn't it?

:48:32. > :48:37.Yes, it is quite rigid, and you do suffer from that. You also need the

:48:37. > :48:44.players to do that. They could do with a Chris Waddle!

:48:44. > :48:49.Yes, a free spirit, someone who can hurt the opposition. I feel that

:48:49. > :48:59.when we played 4420, that it is a little bit Brighid, and I would

:48:59. > :49:04.

:49:04. > :49:07.like to see something a bit different. -- when we play 4-4-2.

:49:07. > :49:12.we're not that good at keeping the ball, but we have to take positive

:49:12. > :49:16.spot stop we heard how great France have been, we matched them today.

:49:16. > :49:20.That was a positive. A negative would be the lack of chances we

:49:20. > :49:24.created. You have to go with the positives

:49:24. > :49:28.and a word of praise for the manager. I thought he said the team

:49:28. > :49:33.up 12 and he is renowned for being negative, I thought England were

:49:33. > :49:39.positive. Well back had a lot of pace and movement, and conceivably,

:49:39. > :49:45.it could have been over. Do you think France are possible

:49:45. > :49:49.winners? No, not with those centre-backs.

:49:49. > :49:57.A positive for England is this game, there is nothing to fear from these

:49:57. > :50:01.two teams. It didn't play like that in the

:50:01. > :50:06.next two matches, they will qualify for the quarter-finals.

:50:06. > :50:10.Where do you see this were going? Either team can win this, the game

:50:10. > :50:15.is wide-open. Do you expect to Sweden to come out

:50:15. > :50:20.a bit more? Yes, I think with their new manager,

:50:20. > :50:24.they will come out to win it. Ibrahimovic is the one.

:50:24. > :50:30.Shevchenko may still have a part to play.

:50:30. > :50:40.They are ready for the second half. Jonathan Pearce and Martin Keown

:50:44. > :50:52.surprise that Shevchenko is starting the second half of all

:50:52. > :50:57.stop there was an opinion that they were change him. -- there was an

:50:57. > :51:05.opinion that they would change him. They are chained -- sticking with

:51:05. > :51:15.the starting 11 it for now. He has encouraged a more attacking Swedish

:51:46. > :51:54.bit, the humidity has dropped as the end of that cross, but it was

:51:54. > :52:04.taken away. Sweden have lacked some creativity by playing Rasmus Elm in

:52:04. > :52:38.

:52:38. > :52:48.gets what in the face but goes than Yarmolenko has been disappointing,

:52:48. > :52:55.

:53:05. > :53:05.

:53:05. > :53:12.European leagues. Ukraine have not beaten the better sides in their

:53:12. > :53:22.build up. Several of their opponents have played them in the

:17:59. > :18:08.It looks as if he has just gone up for it, but no, he has hit him. The

:19:57. > :20:01.has spread the ball beautifully at a great deal to necessarily worry

:20:01. > :20:08.England, but if Ukraine do get on a roll, the last game in the group

:20:08. > :20:12.against England in Donetsk will be a tough task for Roy Hodgson's boys,

:20:12. > :20:17.because the national fervour here will have really built up.

:20:17. > :20:27.It certainly will. If Shevchenko is in this kind of form, it will be

:20:27. > :20:30.

:20:30. > :20:40.tough for us. Oleh Blokhin is a fiery sort of character. He scored

:45:05. > :45:09.like Hide and Seek. We always said if you're going to depend a corner

:45:09. > :45:14.do not have the centre court in this area trying to defend it. The

:48:08. > :48:13.for the first time. We were joking that baby named his place after a

:48:13. > :48:20.or Andriy Shevchenko, he has scored a two goals tonight, added they

:48:20. > :48:26.happen tonight. This is the moment that he scored the winning goal.

:48:26. > :48:30.What a truly remarkable light. A special night for everybody here. I

:48:31. > :48:34.guess they are off to drink the local brew. They will be drinking

:48:34. > :48:38.that late into the night. Considering the circumstances, it

:48:38. > :48:48.would be rude not to join them. A remarkable, historic night in the

:48:48. > :48:52.middle of Kiev. It is great for the nation's

:48:52. > :48:57.hosting. Both teams are pretty weak on the world rankings, but they

:48:57. > :49:02.have done in it -- coming and it lifts the tournament.

:49:02. > :49:07.The fans did really well, it was all yellow in the stadium with

:49:07. > :49:12.Sweden and the Ukraine fans, and it was a great atmosphere, it started

:49:12. > :49:16.slow. It turned into one of the best games so far, it had to do

:49:17. > :49:23.everything, to a presenter forwards battling against each other, Mr

:49:23. > :49:28.Shevchenko coming out on top. England will take the nervous this

:49:28. > :49:32.out of things by beating Sweden. This makes it more difficult for

:49:32. > :49:39.England, because Ukraine now know that whatever happens in their

:49:39. > :49:44.second game, if they beat England, they can go through.

:49:44. > :49:48.Looking at the performances tonight, you would not be fearing them. If

:49:48. > :49:53.you play anything like you did today against France, I think they

:49:53. > :49:57.will beat either side. BAFTA Shevchenko, all credit to him. When

:49:57. > :50:02.he left Chelsea, we thought we would never see him again. He has

:50:02. > :50:07.scored two goals tonight and has given the tournament a lift.

:50:07. > :50:12.He has played the last two seasons to get into this tournament, and he

:50:12. > :50:17.could retire after this. There is hope for Fernando Torres

:50:17. > :50:26.yet! Let's take you back to England versus France, which kicked off

:50:26. > :50:36.five hours ago. A new tournament, a new England.

:50:36. > :50:50.

:50:50. > :50:55.They have not won their opening that was wide.

:50:55. > :51:05.None a could not get himself adjusted to put it into the centre.

:51:05. > :51:21.

:51:21. > :51:27.England the lead!. Easy as you like. A great ball in, but it is only

:51:27. > :51:32.England attacking it. Not offside. It is a good header, than were

:51:32. > :51:42.thrust on it, but perfect delivery, nobody from the French team

:51:42. > :52:21.

:52:21. > :52:25.past Joe Hart in a flash. That was a cracker.

:52:25. > :52:30.England are too deep, almost on the penalty spot. A perfect finish,

:52:30. > :52:40.mind. The accuracy, power, pace, it was

:52:40. > :53:18.

:53:18. > :53:26.near post, it did not quite go behind. It is deflected behind, and

:53:27. > :53:36.that might have been a vital touch on Danny Welbeck. -- from Danny

:53:37. > :53:43.

:53:43. > :53:52.Wayne Rooney was instinctively try to put that in from his seat in the

:53:52. > :53:59.stand. Hart had to save it. You got the feeling there was going to be

:53:59. > :54:05.one more shot. That will do it for England. Two years ago in South

:54:05. > :54:11.Africa, they started with a draw, a very different, two years on. In

:54:11. > :54:21.good book consider this job done. They have got a 1-1 draw from their

:54:21. > :54:21.

:54:21. > :54:25.Steven Gerrard put a great ball in for Lescott's first goal?

:54:25. > :54:28.Yes, it was a great ball, and I think we were looking quite good.

:54:28. > :54:32.They had a good spell which led to the goal.

:54:32. > :54:36.It was a massive honour for me to get out there and see all the

:54:36. > :54:40.travelling fans, and realise you are playing in the European finals,

:54:40. > :54:43.so I was delighted. Is this a new England we are

:54:43. > :54:48.seeing? We were very tactically aware

:54:48. > :54:52.against a very good team, and they really have a free shape and

:54:52. > :54:58.planeloads of players around you, so it was difficult at times. We

:54:58. > :55:03.stayed disciplined, and we had a bit more composure at times. Like I

:55:03. > :55:09.said, we need to build on this now and stay positive.

:55:09. > :55:13.It is a progression and we are unbeaten. We showed quality at

:55:13. > :55:16.times and our organisation was there.

:55:16. > :55:21.What do you need to change between now and Sweden?

:55:21. > :55:26.We need to rest, it is very hot. I do not think anyone expected that

:55:26. > :55:31.when Ukraine and Poland were announced as the hosts. It is warm

:55:31. > :55:37.up here, so we need to recover, dig deep and score goals.

:55:37. > :55:39.How difficult will be sweeping game be? You were split -- you were

:55:39. > :55:43.targeting specific areas of France today?

:55:43. > :55:50.We need to be difficult to beat, but we need to be better on the

:55:50. > :55:54.ball. -- Sweden. We need to try and create more, because it is

:55:55. > :55:59.important to get three points on Friday.

:55:59. > :56:03.John Motson has joined us. You have seen this tournament throughout the

:56:03. > :56:08.years, but you have never seen a England beat Sweden in a

:56:08. > :56:14.competitive game. I have never seen England win an

:56:14. > :56:18.opening game in the European ship - - European Championship.

:56:18. > :56:23.How did you see the England game? What it stood out for you?

:56:23. > :56:28.Be very deliberate way Roy Hodgson said the team up, most of what we

:56:28. > :56:32.knew France would be good that, England reasonably contained. I

:56:32. > :56:38.thought we well worth the draw, although I am a bit more cautious

:56:38. > :56:43.than Alan about the two games to come, I am not sure how poor Sweden

:56:43. > :56:49.and Ukraine are, I think England baby tested.

:56:49. > :56:53.Have you got a statistic for me? I was going to speak about Holland

:56:53. > :57:03.and Germany, because they need in the next game.

:57:03. > :57:37.

:57:37. > :57:42.That is a perfect cube, because Colin Murray will have highlight of

:57:42. > :57:47.Colin Murray will have highlight of both games in Group A tomorrow.

:57:47. > :57:51.Holland versus Germany, many great memories.

:57:51. > :57:56.1988, Holland won the European Championships despite losing the

:57:56. > :58:00.first game against Russia. Marco van Basten, scoring in the very

:58:01. > :58:04.last minute of the game to beat Germany in the semi-final. He

:58:04. > :58:09.scored an even better one in the final.

:58:09. > :58:15.A brilliant player. One of the great strikers, cruelly robbed by

:58:15. > :58:19.injury. He had everything, pace, power,

:58:19. > :58:24.goals. Who is your tip for the tournament,

:58:24. > :58:31.Motty? Germany. They have got many good

:58:31. > :58:37.players, they played very well in the last World Cup, they started OK,

:58:37. > :58:45.a bit slowly but did enough to win, I think they will get better.

:58:45. > :58:51.England start slowly, but we don't usually do better! Alam, a month

:58:51. > :58:56.ago you were tipping Spain, and you have just told me Germany.

:58:56. > :58:59.Yes, I think Germany can win it. I agree with Motty. With the

:58:59. > :59:07.youngsters and the way they have been together, I think they can do

:59:07. > :59:13.It will be a great game tomorrow, the Dutch need something out of the
