14/06/2012 Match of the Day

Hello. As the midnight hour approaches, the English men,

Scott's men and Irishmen are here to peruse the second round of games

in Group C. The action tonight is The Republic of Ireland take on

world and European champions Spain needing least the point to stay in

the Euros. Then we will see how Italy fed in the other Group C game

against Croatia. We have the latest from the England camp ahead of

their game against Sweden. And we've been with some fanatical

Swedish supporters gauging their The Republic of Ireland's Green

Army travelled to Poland down but not out and needing every bit of

spirit, luck and inspiration to avoid being the first nation to be

officially knocked out of Euro 2012. Defeat against the Spanish in

Gdansk, whatever the result of the earlier game, and they are out.

Trapattoni's men have a mountain to claim -- climb following their 3-1

defeat against Croatia. They will need more than a minor miracle to

reach the knockout stages, but this is football and anything can happen.

As for world and European champions Spain, they never reached Top gear

against Italy, playing without a striker. Fabregas's goal earn

themselves a point. The Irish will with the Spanish in the World Cup,

it is Ireland against Spain again in a match Ireland must not lose.

If they do, Giovanni Trapattoni's side would be the first eliminated

from this European Championship. A draw would be fantastic. A win

would arguably be the nation's rather than Cesc Fabregas, who had

been troubled by us or five. Since scoring the winner in 2008, Torres

has scored in only two competitive internationals for his country,

against New Zealand and Liechtenstein. I wonder whether the

Irish defence would rather play against the centre forward in

Torres or rather than the Phantom menace of Fabregas. The refereed in

the Baltic Arena in Gdansk is from Portugal. He took charge of

makes way and Simon Cox comes into the 11th. They will need to improve

immeasurably on the performance against Croatia when they are

renowned defensive qualities to right, in green and white, Spain

ranks. A fair bit of experience in the Irish ranks as well, but four

of the most capped players in Spain's entire history are on the

The pitch must be greasy, it has been raining for a good while.

Don't need to make an early mistake. A free-kick for the Irish. They

don't like this pitch. They did not have many complimentary things to

say about it after playing Italy. - It did not look that difficult for

the goalkeeper to deal with. agree. He made a meal of it. He did

back in the last couple of days as green and red have mingled. --

Gdansk. A bumper couple of days for He scores! Three minutes and 50

seconds, Ireland are behind. It was the pass from Iniesta initially, he

split the defence. Then it looks like they cleared it. But they

don't Clairette. What about this for a finish. You don't get past

Shay Given very easily, that was a pile-driver. He was lightning quick,

Fernando Torres. No hesitation about the shot. He worked the room

and hammered it into the roof of the net. So quick to respond,

Torres. Amazing how quickly it went past Shay Given. He can't get his

difficulties on the edge of their just an amazing move. It is a

beautiful mood. Great pass to the far post. Having just scored one,

you fancy him to put that away. that kind of difference. --

front of Shay Given. He looked to have recovered and then made it

hard work. It just skipped up. I think that sums up the feeling. It

has gone really quiet. They have John O'Shea. They are throwing

everything at it. Spain are murdering Ireland with the ball at

the moment, but it is still only 1- that corner by Spain. Silva

flattened and it will be a card. Take it for the team. Half-time and

some respite is just a few seconds away. But this is no time to think

the last whistle of the half and the last action of a half. Shay

Given denied Iniesta. It has been one-way traffic pretty much

did not fancy hitting it first time on his left foot. He has never

scored for Spain. A good opportunity for him. He just passed

it straight at Shay Given. He should have hit it with a bit of

probably that. Three minutes into the first half it was Torres, three

minutes into the second half it was David Silva. It is 2-0. It is the

initial shot that is punched out, it has gone straight to David Silva

and he has side-footed it into the net for top I think that his game

over. Even the first one, he was unsighted. That is a great finish

from David Silva. He has passed it into the bottom corner. He just

weaved it through three defenders and past the goalkeeper. He has

surely put this game out of has gone through Richard Dunne's

legs, he did not see it until late. did not make something more of this.

Tried to pick somebody out but not far away. There's a few of the

lads... It is a demoralising Keane has gone from one side of the

pitch to the other. He has put a real shift in, but never ever

anywhere near the ball in terms of everybody else, but in football

terms, they have evolved into a Torres. It is three-0. Two for

he made a mess of it at that point. No such thing. Buried it in the

bottom corner, a great finish. No chance for Shay Given. Since the

2009 Confederations Cup, Fernando Torres had scored all of five

international goals, but he has Casillas. He gets half a chance, he

has hit the target, he has made the care Cassius make a good save. --

Given. Every time they have a shot, there are four defenders in front

of it, and a couple of strikers. is four. Cesc Fabregas. Was there

some suggestion he had a sore thigh? He left that it. -- he

leathered it. That is a fabulous goal, well-worked, and it is a

great strike. Having just denied Santi Cazorla, Shay Given is beaten

by Cesc Fabregas. He has scored in each of Spain's games in this

tournament, and nobody can argue that this flatters Spain. I feel

for them, they will be so disappointed with their performance,

that they have not created too much. They have been well beaten, but

they have put in such a shift. They have kept it to four, it could have

been more. Spain settled at four. That is the end for Ireland. One

more game to play, but no chance of qualification now. Fernando Torres

back amongst the goals for his country. Two tonight. David Silva

with a cute second just after half- time. Cesc Fabregas with a blasted

forth just after the end. -- just before the end. They could have

been more. Spain were worthy winners, no medicine performance.

Magnificent support from Ireland. A harsh lesson for Ireland and

Irish football. Yes, of course, they of the world champions, and

they are the world champions for a reason. They pulled a support on a

few occasions. You were on great form coming into the tournament,

why have you not been able to transfer that into tournament play?

It is even tougher than the World Cup, you have a team like Saudi

Arabia or New Zealand, but when you get to this stage of the European

Championship, it is the elite teams. Spain showed how good they are.

Could Ireland have done more? Do you just say Spain are a great

team? After three minutes, when we conceded a goal, they were already

superior technically, and it was too difficult, conceding a goal

this easy, also against Croatia. We have to clarify why. Why have I

learned not been able to make an impact that your form suggested you

might? We were on a good run. Sometimes, things do not go as well

as you hope. It is not for a lack of trying or preparation. We have

just been beaten on two nights. A bit unlucky on the first night, but

tonight, the have to take it on the Itchen. They are the best side I

have ever played against. You have to give them credit, but at the

same time, we have not made it easy for ourselves. We went 1-0 down

very early on. When they can keep the ball like that, it would always

be tough. Is it time to start bringing in some Dexter's? Possibly.

You have to start asking the manager that. We have enjoyed

getting here, but we have not enjoyed the last two results.

used still keen to be part of the World Cup qualifying campaign?

is a bit sooner. I will decide in a few weeks. But it is time that some

more players were brought him. There is no point glossing over it,

we have all come to the same conclusion, it was the referee's

fault! We were totally outclassed. They showed tonight how Spain

really are. We did not help ourselves, we make mistakes, but in

the end, they were far superior. Four hearts of football, and they

have conceded a goal in the first four minutes of each of those

Hearts. It has been well-documented, against Croatia, they lost bad

goals at bad times. But I do not think Croatia are a good side.

Against that the Spanish -- against the Spanish, probably one of the

best sides ever in possession, if you are not resolute, reliable and

together, you are in trouble. Initially, the first couple of

minutes, the shape it was fine, but for the call come up in the first

four minute, they made elementary You cannot afford to do it. The

sheikh is fine, but when they play it and it comes back to Andres

Iniesta, when he picks it up, in this position, you have got to make

sure that he plays it to the wind to Alvaro Arbeloa. You cannot

afford to let him play it between the centre-backs, because... Sean

St Ledger steps to the right, and if he steps to the left, he cuts

out the past. But again, it is a simple mistake. He should hold his

position and moved to his left. This is the second one. A simple

pass to John O'Shea, he ignores it, he tries to force the pass, and we

are in trouble. The Spanish get good possession, Xavi to Andres

Iniesta. Shay Given will be very disappointed with that. Then, look

at it, he passes it into the corner. People will talk about Chelsea

against Barcelona and Bayern Munich, but when Chelsea were playing to

those defensive lines, they have got really good players. If you are

being brutally honest, he tried to do that with average players... One

or two of them are Championship players. Spain, if possible, outdid

themselves tonight. They say that statistics do not live. This is

sensational. 929 attempted passes, a European Championships recorder.

-- record. It is no shame for the Irish. What about the performance

from Xavi? He is an astonishing player. His statistics are

phenomenal. Two records broken tonight. He ran the show. They were

unbelievably good tonight. It is not very sexy to look at the

numbers, so let's look at the action. This is typical of Spain.

They pass it. This is where the pass rate goes up, simple passes.

All the time, as the opposition, you're having to work and

concentrate, and that is tiring. Fantastic technique. It is almost

like a Rolls-Royce engine. You have to receive the ball and making

ankle. In fact, they have got the extra X Factor of quality like

Andres Iniesta. Little moments. You press them, you think you can get

after it, no, they go the other side. All of the time, you are

having to work. The concentration is the key. They are pressing

Ireland. In the end, they are on the counter. There is not any other

team that plays as well as this, other than Barcelona. It is the

type of football that is really an doing teams who have not got great

quality. They did that tonight. is a joy to watch. You can be

critical of the Irish and say they never got tight enough, but they

kept on going and pressing. But when you are playing against that,

it is so hard. It is soul- destroying when you do not have the

ball. The control and the technique, it is sensational. What they have

taken in the way they play, the percentage of winning the game,

they have taken that and put it. They say, we will control the game

from start to finish. You will not get enough chances to score.

Ireland had three or four set pieces the whole game. It is very

difficult. It is a bit of a Celtic mantra that we know, we do not like

saying it, we showed a lot of spirit, we chased everything down.

But Robbie Keane exemplified not dropping his head and keeping going

until the minute he was off the pitch. He led by example. He made a

run earlier on. Simon Cox did not get his head up early enough. He

tried to bend his run again. Here, a free kick. If Glenn Whelan looks

at it, Robbie Keane is down the side of Alvaro Arbeloa. He is too

interested in marking Aiden McGeady. Robbie Keane is spinning into the

Channel. This is Robbie Keane, he is chasing across the pitch. He

goes again. I'd used to do that when I was covering for you! He is

right. This is Robbie Keane's chance. It is no coincidence he has

scored 53 goals. He is at the edge of the box, and he hits a lovely

strike. It was a captain's performance, because his team were

getting hammered, and he kept going. He showed such a big heart. A quick

shower tap for the fans. They were singing for eight minutes solid.

For the sake of this tournament, of their teams that can get at the

Spanish side? They were not tested at the back. Surely, Germany can

challenge them? It has been well- documented, the middle of the

Parker sensational. Up front, Fernando Torres, he took the first

goal well. The second goal, it was great. Perhaps a bad touch, but he

took it well. His general performance was not that great. At

the other end, defensively, you can get at them. But on that sort of

performance, it reminds you that it will take a special team to beat

them. Giovanni Trapattoni got them there in the first place, which is

a good feet. Is predictable the criticism you could make of them?

He named his team the week before, he plays the same tactics every

game. That is what he has done from the outset. But you are playing

double champions, you have got to show them the respect they deserve,

especially with the bid failed they have got. For tonight, we should

have gone with five at the back or five in the middle. They have --

they could have played the whole squad! The Irish are gone. Now, to

Poznan. The other game in Group C, both Italy and Croatia were buoyant

after their first games, but that could change too easily.

Big tournament players Italy again showed their pedigree in their

opener against Spain, as they earned a point. Antonio di Natale

was the golden boy, and they will be full of confidence. Hats off to

Slaven Bilic. He was delighted with the win over Ireland, crucial goals

at crucial times. Rich in the quarter-finals is a real

possibility, as long as Luka Modric keeps pulling the strings and Nicky

judo the pitch and Mario Mandzukic much for Croatia. Amid a troubling

backdrop of corruption allegations in their domestic game, Italy's

players performed better than some anticipated in their opening draw

against the Spanish. The talking point for the Italians was whether

Balotelli would keep his place. The answer is yes, with Antonio Di

Natale named amongst the substitutes once more. De Rossi

continues in a makeshift central defensive role in an unchanged

line-up. The familiar face in the centre, refereeing the game, Howard

Webb. His second game of the tournament having taken charge of

Russia's 4-1 winner over the Czech Republic. Slaven Bilic will look

for more of the same after his team's impressive showing it is

Ireland. Not surprisingly, Croatia are unchanged with Captain Darijo

Srna on the right and a highly sought-after Tottenham midfielder

Luka Modric likely to be the key orchestrators. The two forwards

have started the tournament really well. Mandzukic got two goals on

Sunday and Jelavic helped himself Balotelli. A super turn. Balotelli

with a neat touch. A little shimmy. Very unlucky. First time I've been

to a match at these European Championships with empty seats in

fluidity about some of Italy's shot in. Marchisio! What a shot.

Excellent play from Italy, counter- attacking football. This was the

shot. Balotelli with a really good opportunity. He did not shift the

ball far enough, he did not make a good angle. Croatia are keen to get

He did. Balotelli! It didn't quite fall for Marchisio. I'm not sure if

he would have been offside. A straight shot. It is hit with power.

You would expect any keeper to deal with that. Two good passing sides.

Croatia in the last five years, at the end of a calendar year, not

outside of FIFA's top 10 in the world ranking. Howard Webb has a

little look... He has given it the other way. The assistant has given

it the other way. The coming together. I think the assistant has

got it spot on. Chiellini and that in. Srna delivers an excellent

ball to the near post. Just a touch and it is in. Slaven Bilic, his

first touch -- match in charge of Croatia's six years ago was against

creaking of it. Just let the ball watch, he makes it look so easy. --

Pirlo. Flicking it into the space, Chiellini was well forward.

Balotelli, free-kick. Well, I thought we would see the opening

goal there. Excellent ball, a lovely touch. Marchisio was in a

good position. A great save. Pletikosa. Pirlo can do some damage

with the ball at his feet from that sort of distance. It is 1-0! The

midfield metronome scores with a superb finish. That is how you take

a free-kick. Super strike. He misses the wall. Sometimes you have

to give credit. It just went over the wall, the goalkeeper was in a

good position. He can't quite get them back. Super place on it as

well and it was dipping. Super What is it about them? They always

seem to play well when they have a large amount of problems at home.

Corruption allegations. They were up against it going into the book

up in Germany in 2006 and they won the thing. -- the World Cup in

Germany. That wasn't far away from Cassano! I think Cassano and

Bonucci almost collided with each to prise open this Italian defence?

Modric could be the man to provide it. Buffon had about half an hour

to wait for the ball to arrive! Better play from Croatia. Modric

to the second half. Modric has been involved in the game a lot more.

Playing his game further up the park. Counter-attacking football.

Croatia have got a good record against Italy. They have won three

of five meetings since independence, drawing the other two. Balotelli!

What a shot. He says somebody got a touch. A little bit better from

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds

into the left-back position. -- goal of the tournament already. You

sense the goal might have been coming. Mario Mandzukic. Right in

the middle of the screen, this is onside. Chiellini missed the ball.

He completely mistimed it. For a centre-back, that is woeful. A good

touch into his path. There you go, 1-1. He got two against Ireland and

then this one. Third goal of the the challenge from Mandzukic.

are all working hard now, Croatia. 15 minutes to go, all to play for

between these two asides. -- two sides. Pletikosa was not taking any

chances. Italy have been reduced to duck -- just a couple of chances in

the second half. A decent effort no free kick for the challenge on

Bonucci. Could be a chance for a late winner. Eduardo can't find the

pass. Niko Kranjcar was next to him and if he had slipped it to him, he

might have been put back in. Buffon keeps it interesting by letting the

ball go momentarily. Howard Webb blows the final whistle

in Poznan. Honours even, stalemate. A promising start from Italy, they

looked comfortable at 1-0 up at half-time, but they couldn't build

on it and the second half. Pirlo's free-kick gave them the lead and

Mandzukic, with his third goal of the tournament, equalised for

Croatia, who improved in the second Simmering to a boil. Spain and

Croatia are on four Point. -- four Bass-playing and Croatia draw

coupled with in Italy victory means all three will finish on five

points. -- A Spain and Croatia draw. Both file Group C games are live on

Alan Hansen is pointing at me. you explain that again? No. If they

finish on even points, it is unbelievable what you have to go

down too. And you have to explain it live on TV on Monday. I thought

Pirlo in the first game rolled back the years and he picked up where he

left off. We talk about the Spanish in possession, but Pirlo has

undoubted quality. He played well in the first game. Today in the

first half I thought he was exceptional. Eventually he got a

exceptional. Eventually he got a goal. There was a huge debate about

the free-kick leading up to the goal. A great free-kick, but how

many times have we seen this, but a dark a fantastic bought into

Balotelli. That ball. A great pass, inch-perfect. This is the debate.

This happened in the 35th a minute. Cassano comes in and there's a

collision between two Croatian players. A summer has done nothing

wrong, but Howard Webb decides to give the Croatians are free kick.

Two minutes later, Balotelli comes in and I don't think... His there

anything in that? That is really soft. I think referees sometimes

have that in their mind. You can't argue with a free-kick, it was

sensational. Wonderful ability. First free-kick in the Euros since

2004. That is an amazing stat. was a beauty. We haven't had many

goals outside of the box. Now we have had van Persie. We haven't

have a - we haven't had a polluter had a period of dominance in the

first half, but it was maybe what we did not see at half-time that

was the deciding factor. If you're coming up against the Italians,

tactical geniuses apparently, but Bill which has pulled out his own

tactical move today. He put Mandaric -- Mandzukic on the right,

Modric went forward. In the second half when they came out, they went

on the front foot and they started to dictate. Modric in particular

started getting into those little He catches this one properly. He is

further forward that he was in the first half. He uses the decoy to

come inside, and he hit that shot many times. The two strikers

pulling them apart. They are striking -- they are starting to

control the game. The Italians were all at sea. As a coach, on the

sideline,... It is a great finish. You have kept Giorgio Chiellini,

his position is stronger. What does he do? He gets sucked in. A great

touch from Mario Mandzukic. He has only had four shots on target, and

he has scored three goals. On Monday, a team is going out of the

tournament that is at least good. Slaven Bilic has have thought the

Italians. That is who Spain play on the last day. This is his last

tournament as the national manager. He is having a good show. There are

two good sides going at it. One of these teams could be a potential

semi-finalist. The Spaniards will beat Croatia, and the Italians will

be the Irish. They will go through. Your favourite team, the Croatians,

will go out. I tipped Germany! called them a good side, but they

are ordinary. But to -- but for Croatia to get a result against

Spain, that would not be a giant- killing act. They are ranked eighth

in the world. Croatia, they have two a bit centre-forwards, Spain,

they are offended against Italy, you think, if Croatia get crosses

into the box, who knows? Italians played so well in the

first half, but in the second half, the Italian mentality was amazing.

We are in Kiev for England's second game, against Sweden. Blue and

yellow seeds, 18,000 Sweden fans in town, compared to 5000 England fans.

They will have to make a lot of noise. It is a lot colder than

Donetsk, and a lot less humid. We heard earlier from Roy Hodgson and

Steven Gerrard. We have not decided on the team yet.

We have got a training session tonight, which will be important,

in my decision-making. I was happy with the style, we played well

against France. Certain aspects were good. We must maintain that.

If we are going to win matches, we have to continue to work hard on

the attacking side of our game and to maximise the counter-attacking

opportunities, to take advantage to the full. Sweden are a strong team,

but they are not France. We can be a bit bolder and more ambitious and

get at them a bit more. We are confident, if we reach the same

level of performance, we can win. In Zlatan Ibrahim of rich, they

have a world-class talent. That is what makes them such a difficult a

poet, and that is why take are always present in the big

tournaments, and take of recorded as a major programme for whoever

comes across them. We have watched videos, we will watch more videos,

so we will be well prepared, but he is not the only good player.

England's trouble in retaining possession it is the age-old

possession -- issue of technical ability. But this was the manager's

response. I do not think we are lagging behind. Kiev's favourite

son managed to overpower the Swedish defence twice on his own,

so there is a growing feeling that Andy Carroll might get the nod from

Roy Hodgson. One person guaranteed his place is Joe Hart. He does not

carry any of the package of his failings against Sweden. History is

history. It has been and gone. We to not going to be gained 2-0 down

because of previous results. -- we do not go into the game could 0

down. We all know that England have not beaten Sweden in seven

competitive attempts. Roy Hodgson brings a better record, he has

faced them three-times with Sweden and once with Finland, two wins,

Gary Lineker is already in make-up, Let's play fantasy manager, 19

hours and 29 minutes before the big clash, what changes do you make us

on the starting 11 in the first game? We listened to the press

conference, the criticism of their lack of flair and penetration is

hurting him. He will go with two strikers, Andy Carroll and Danny

Welbeck, or perhaps a Jermain Defoe and Danny Welbeck. That will give

us more attacking flair. Andy Carroll or Jermain Defoe? Andy

Carroll, his presence will cause the Swedish centre-halves some

issues. I would agree. I do not think Roy Hodgson would throw

caution to the wind. I would have a go at them. Andriy Shevchenko got a

couple of goals. A bit of movement against a static defence, Andy

Carroll could do well against the centre defence. I know what you

The danger is always in front of the central defender, he does not

spot the danger. You have got to be on your toes. Then, he goes on his

heels. Andriy Shevchenko takes advantage. The danger is always in

front of him. He should have seen it, he should have closed down the

space early. This is dangerous, having different man in such an

important position. -- having a front man. He has got a lovely

header, but what is he doing on the goal line? Andy Carroll came into

good form. He - Chelsea up, when he got the start in the league game.

He is on defendable, when the delivery is right. -- he is not

defendable. Towards the end of the season, he was getting fitter,

stronger, better. He gave Chelsea such a hard time, he was almost

unplayable. One thing I have noticed about Roy Hodgson, it seems

to be simpler, easier, round pegs in round holes. With Fabio Capello,

it was about people being in the wrong position. Is that a good

thing? Sometimes, you have got to come up with something to break

down the opposition, and playing a wide foot on the left or having a

player coming inside can make the difference. It can be an

alternative, it can make you look like you have more flair. We look

like round pegs in round holes with not too much going on. But there

was no think in this Wigan against Ukraine match that you would be

frightened. -- nothing in the Sweden against Ukraine matches.

We have visited a Swedish Fantasy This is a footbridge over the river.

Behind us, Kiev. In front of us, the island which has been renamed

after Sweden, because you will find thousands of Swedish people. There

are more Swedish supporters campaigned on this island that

England fans who went to the first game against France. 5000 of them

in total. They are enjoying the good life by the banks of the river.

Explain to us the basis of this. As many Swedish people in one space as

possible? That is it. As many people as possible, give us beer,

and bars were the, that is all. a football tournament as well!

course! The plan is to support the national team. The whole idea, the

Swedish supporters, it is a social function cannot we have nice

holidays, but the most important is to bring three points in the game.

It is not exactly five Star, but they have thought of everything,

toilet, beer, fishing, there is a horse, and there is a concert venue,

for when the occasional Swedish superstar pops down. Ireland and

5000 friends is a good basis for any party, but if you want a ticket

to the next level, you get out the tank! Here in Kiev, as long as you

wear a yellow shirt, it is as though you have known each other

for 15 years. That feeling, it is the best. If we did not know each

other at home, we would not speak to each other in an elevator.

people are coming to, they say, it is the best feeling in my whole

life, up I love it, Bankia. Plot of people will think, you are on the

dream holiday -- lots of people. You are with your mates, slipping

on the beach, watching football. Spot-on!

He is the only man who could go there and only interview meant! --

meant! The key area is the central midfield. Sebastian Larsson,

quality on set plays. You have a Swedish wife. Separate rooms! She

screams too loud! Move on! Very quickly, England are better on

paper, but we have been here before. Paper means nothing, but if England

play well, they win. The Spanish put on a masterclass,

hitting four passed the Irish, and the Green army are the first to

crash out. Andrea Pirlo's pearler turned the

air blue, but Mario Mandzukic was the man again.
