Watch Euro 2012 England vs Ukraine Live Streaming

Match Schedule: June 19, 2012 7:45 PM BST
Donbass Arena — Donets'k
Referee:‬ V. Kassai‎
Roy Hodgson: "It's not just England who haven't always performed when the expectations were heightened. There's quite a few teams that have failed. It's a fact of life. We've come here with the England national team. We believe in ourselves and we want to do well. In some ways it's rather nice that people back home are hoping and even believing we can do well, and we're giving them something to dream about and cling onto." (Yahoo)
England's key player: Wayne Rooney. England will welcome back their star man in less of a pressure situation than might have been the case had Theo Walcott not instigated a dramatic comeback against Sweden. Rooney will not need to inspire the Three Lions to victory against Ukraine but Roy Hodgson will expect to see a more cohesive team performance with the Manchester United forward linking the play in front of the midfield. Walcott made a real difference to the fluidity of England's counterattacks and Rooney can make the same impact on Tuesday.
Andriy Shevchenko
Ukraine's Player to Watch: Andriy Shevchenko. Oleg Blokhin will be hoping desperately that his captain can recover in time to face England and extend his international career by at least one more game by leading them to three points and a place in the quarter-final. Shevchenko is responsible for giving Ukraine a chance going into the final group fixture, brilliantly bagging two goals against Sweden, and he will need to dig even deeper into his energy reserves in order to topple England.

England vs Ukraine Probable Line Up:
England: Hart, Johnson, Terry, Lescott, Cole, Gerrard, Parker, Walcott, Rooney, Young, Welbeck
Ukraine: Pyatov, Husyev, Mikhalik, Khacheridi, Selin, Tymoshchuk, Yarmolenko, Nazarenko, Konoplyanka, Voronin, Shevchenko

England vs Ukraine Prediction: England need only a draw to seal their place in the quarter-final and that will suit them down to the ground. Roy Hodgson's team have looked at their most secure when they put organisation and discipline first, as they did against France, and the experienced coach will be keen to put the emphasis back on those characteristics after a tumultuous second half, much of which he will not have enjoyed, against Sweden.(Goal)

NSK Olimpijs'kyj — Kyiv (Kiev)
Referee:‬ Pedro Proença‎‎‎‎‎
Laurent Blanc: "There's always the danger that you may take your eye off the ball. So it is up to us to prepare seriously. We also need to be very aware of what we want to achieve. We were very happy following the Ukraine game, rightly so, but as I said to the players, we now need to prepare for the next game, as a game like this against Sweden demands it."(Yahoo)
Sweden's key player: Kim Källström. The 29-year-old put in a decent display against England, providing a number of defence splitting passes and also working hard to get back and break up opposition attacks himself, and could be key in a tricky midfield battle against les Bleus. His knowledge of the game in France is vital if Sweden are to savour any success at the last attempt in this tournament, having plied his trade for both Rennes and presently Olympique Lyonnais.
Frank Ribery, France

France's Player to Watch: Franck Ribéry. The Bayern Munich winger was a lot nearer to his sublime best in the 2-0 win over Ukraine after a subdued opening game against England. Though he is yet to get on the scoresheet himself, he created a number of openings for team-mates in the match with the co-hosts and should really have been rewarded with a handful of assists. He'll be looking to finally make the net ripple and reproduce the pre-tournament form that saw himself and Karim Benzema shine.

Sweden vs France Probable Line Up:
Sweden: Isaksson, Granqvist, Mellberg, J.Olsson, M.Olsson, Larsson, Kallstrom, Svensson, Elm, Ibrahimovic, Elmander
France: Lloris, Debuchy, Koscielny, Mexes, Clichy, M'Vila, Diarra, Ribery, Nasri, Menez, Benzema

Sweden vs France Prediction: France have shown both grit and determination in the draw with England, along with sheer class going forward in the 2-0 win over co-hosts Ukraine. Therefore, while Hamren's men have pride to play for and could provide a stubborn resistance, they could be in for a receiving end of a heavy defeat. (Goal)

Referee:‬ B. Kuipers‎‎‎
Andriy Shevchenko has netted four of Ukraine’s seven goals at EURO and World Cup finals, three of these goals were headed. In his last four appearances for France, Franck Ribéry has scored three goals and set up another two.(Yahoo)
Ukraine's key player: Anatoliy Tymoshchuk. The 33-year-old will be familiar with many of the French top-class names, such as Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema, after playing either alongside or against them, with Bayern Munich. He must remain switched on at all times with Les Bleus' flair men dropping into pockets of space all over the field. What the veteran now lacks in pace, will need to be made up with each ounce of his positioning, organisation and intelligence.


Samir Nasri
France's Player to Watch: Samir Nasri. The former Arsenal man will therefore want to continue to let his football do the talking, with an unproven defence the perfect opportunity to do so against. However, he must not become arrogant or selfish with the ball, as that will only bring the whole team performance down, and turn and already overwhelmingly unfavourable crowd even more against him.

Ukraine vs France Probable Line Up:
Ukraine: Pyatov, Husyev, Khacheridi, Mykhalyk, Selin, Tymoschchuck, Rotan, Nazarenko, Konoplyanka, Yarmolenko Voronin
France: Lloris, Debuchy, Rami, Mexes, Evra, Cabaye, M'Vila, Malouda, Nasri, Benzema, Ribery

Ukraine vs France Euro 2012 Prediction
France will be looking to win this game without too much trouble. However, it is easy to forget that it's Ukraine that currently top Group D. The co-hosts were more than delighted to have won their first game, but don't be fooled - expectation on Blokhin and his men is high, and they will want to win. Expect Ukraine to be stubborn to break down, and to work extremely hard for their cause, but France know how important three points will be. Laurent Blanc's men should win, not overwhelmingly, but comfortably.(Goal.com)

Referee:‬ D. Skomina‎‎
Four of England’s five shots against France were attempted by defenders (Lescott 2x, Johnson and Terry), the other one by a midfielder (Milner). With his goal against Ukraine, Zlatan Ibrahimovic became Sweden’s top scorer at European Championship finals (five, one more than Henrik Larsson).(Yahoo)
Sweden's key player: Olof Mellberg. Sweden's reliance on Zlatan Ibrahimovic is well-known but the striker was his team's best player against Ukraine and scored their only goal. It is the AC Milan striker's team-mates that must improve and the vastly experienced Mellberg is the leader of the pack in defence. Mellberg will not have to cope with Wayne Rooney but Ashley Young and Danny Welbeck will be raring to go having received little in the way of service against France.




England's Player to Watch: Steven GerrardGerrard delivered a steady performance in central midfield against France and, most importantly, supplied the free-kick which Joleon Lescott headed beyond Hugo Lloris to give England the lead. Roy Hodgson will want his side to exert more control against Sweden after a defensive display against Les Bleus and Gerrard will be expecting to be involved more heavily in attacking sequences, but that will depend on the Liverpool talisman gaining a foothold in the centre of the park early on.

Sweden vs England Probable Line Up:
Sweden: Isaksson, Lustig, Mellberg, Granqvist, Martin Olsson, Svensson, Kallstrom, Larsson, Ibrahimovic, Toivonen Elmander
England: Hart, Johnson, Terry, Lescott, Cole, Milner, Gerrard, Parker, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Young, Welbeck

Sweden vs England Euro 2012 Prediction
England's mixed record against Sweden has been well-documented and Roy Hodgson's team could find things more difficult when asked to take the initiative in a match having been able to adopt a defence-first approach against France. They must subdue Zlatan Ibrahimovic if they wish to secure three points, which will be no easy task. The striker looks a more mature player coming into this tournament.(Goal.com)
