]And congrats to France, a pretty comfortable win. I think they're the first team to guarantee a qualification out of the group stages, then? As long as they don't lose too heavily...in any case, their match against the already hopeless Sweden is a dead rubber anyway, Ukraine-England is where it's at. Ukraine must win with no other option, and while it'll be more effective for England to park the bus and guarantee their survival, I'd hate to see them settle for a 0-0 draw.

Their GD is +2, and England is +1 but more goals right? So if England lose 1-0, while France lose 2-0, they will still be out
To be fair, Glen Johnson got two successful last minute tackle so he atoned his sin a bit. the 2 goals were also down to set piece anyway, so it's not anyone fault.
First tournament own goal through?
