UEFA Euro 2012
is heading towards its elimination round where two teams from each of the four
groups will compete for the semi final. This is the last group stage match for
Group D teams where Buoyant England will face co-host Ukraine at Donbass Arena, Donetsk on June 19, 2012. The match will commence at 18.45 hours GMT. Both the
teams are standing in successive positions with England one step ahead bagging
4 points from two matches. However, Ukraine is not an underdog in this
tournament as they have showed an impressive performance in both the matches.
Finishing the first match against France with a draw score line in an impressive way, England has given a comparatively low grade performance against Sweden when they luckily ended the match in 3-2 score line. Although, they were in full swing on the first match, they travelled through a roller coaster way on the second day and once they allowed Sweden to lead when they missed a save and their opponent was in 2-1 lead. Coach Roy Hodgson deserves praise for his right decision to put Andy Carroll in the weak defensive line up of Swedish squad and Caroll had also took the advantage of his position when he hammered the first goal of the match to dominate over the match. Theo Walcott is another marvellous striker in this squad who had given the winning goal in their last match. All these stars behind the victory are youngsters and in this last group stage match, a crucial match to decide the team's fate in this tournament, Hodgson have to put down one of his youngsters to include veteran striker Wayne Rooney who is back from his suspension session. Moreover Rooney have to take the responsibility to take his team to the next round because Hodgson and his boys know that Ukraine is an equally competent team in this tournament.
Being co-host, Ukraine is enjoying their home soil and the support of their home crowd in every match which is an advantage for any team. Ukraine has exposed their dual side in two matches played so far, getting an impressive win against Sweden in the first one and ending the second one against France with a loss. Defense is the weakest area of this team which has crashed their team in the second match. Andriy Shevenchko, the goal scorer in first match, could not take the responsibility on the second day and there was no supporting side for him either on that match. Much was expected from Yevhen Konoplyanka and Andriy Voronin, but both failed to contribute to alter their team's fate. In this match, a co-ordinate team performance is needed to defeat England and to make their way into the quarter final when Shevenchko's knee injury is a matter to worry for this team.
