Subject: RE: BS: UEFA EURO 2012 (football)
England were outplayed from start to finish tonight by the speed and sheer passion of the Ukranians. It was their poorest game so far and a 3-0 win for the Ukraine would have been a more just result. I am happy with the result, of course, but it really was down to extraordinary luck. I think that the referee probably made a mistake to disallow the Ukranian goal. England's passing was mainly poor and they put together relatively few good moves. Credit to Gerrard for holding the ball up and getting the cross in for England's goal. I think it was the deflection off the defender's boot which caused the goalie to misjudge the bounce of the ball. That was lucky England!
