So, after the end of 2nd round of matches two teams, Irelend and Sweden go out. All the remaining fourteen can aspire to go into the knock out stages thanks to some big names, the Dutch, Italy etc playing some insipid football. It was ironical a better looking and fast paced Swedes had to bow out against a determined young English forwards. But the English will have to fill the 'gaping hole' in their defence if they have to keep their hopes alive. France must watch out for the Swedes out of contention to play a tension free game who are capable of making France join them going out of EURO 12. Even if Italy manages a drubbing to Ireland it still would be hoping no Spain-Croats conspiracy happens to keep them out. Italy has to blame no one else but itself for this predicament. Russia from GP A , GER from B , ESP from C and ENG from D appear somewhat certain to make it to the qualifiers. The other Four ?
Unarguably the best match of the tournament,England has quality players which can take them till the finals for the first time,their attack and ball possession was more superior than Swedes,hope they can play attacking football and surprise best teams in the world to win Euro-12,remember Euro tournament is unpredictable where previous winners were Greece & Denmark,many best teams went out in the knock out round via penalties.

I disagree, the spirit of English is outstanding. It was just that the luck was not on their side earlier.
