    Swedish coach miming diving at Shevchenko

    Comment


      Wow, what an end to a game.

        Think of all the memories Sweden will have of this tournament.

            Sheva should kick him in the knee.

              Happy for Sheva. Ukraine was dynamite against Holland, and obviously Austria was much better than first thought.

              This has England 3:0 written all over it, but Ukraine certainly can score from wide. They have a 10% chance I’d say.

                How is that knee to the face different, then?
                Because it wasn't a studs up out of control challenge.

                  I can see Ukraine grinding something out against England. I think the Swedes would have given them less of a test. Maybe 70-30 in England's favour.

                      Zinchenko looking good, Yarmolenko unlikely to be fit, so I'd give them 10% of a chance

                        Well the commentators seemed to be bored to death by this game but I thoroughly enjoyed that. Fair play to Ashley Williams for sounding completely fed up with the constant England cringe coming from Pearce, Logan and Alex Scott.

                          What was Yarmolenko's injury again? I lost track of what players were being stretchered off for by the end, it was like an episode of M*A*S*H.

                            Not sure what the complaint is about Sweden's red card. You're not allowed to slide in with your studs up and that's that, it doesn't matter if he was just going for the ball and didn't think there was another player in the way as that's inherently dangerous play.

                            There was another Swedish player who did a similar sliding challenge to clear the ball from the edge of the Swedish penalty area in extra time but didn't collide with another player, and I thought he was lucky to get away with that.

                              Yarmolenko was limping, but there hasn't been any detailed report

                                The (unnecessary) slo-mo replays during the extra time break had his knee bending in all sorts of directions that it shouldn’t. Why he was walking around the pitch rather than stretchered off I’ll never know.

                                  Yarmalenko wasn't the victim of the red card challenge though, or are you not saying that?

                                    Oh, got my challenges mixed up.

                                      Danielson's red card challenge was on Besedin

                                        Amen to that. I'll also have no idea why there's only 800 rescuers in Miami instead of having 6 aircraft carriers parked off the coast to make it 80,000.

                                        Let's have the guy limp 40 yards to the touchline, another 60 yards, then however many else to the lockers. Idiotic.

                                          At the very end they cut to Besedin where he was sat and the poor man was just crying and being consoled by someone. I expect he's in a hospital in Glasgow now. I hope he's being looked after well.

                                            Swedish people I know saying Danielson got to the ball first. Besides that being irrelevant to dangerous play, he only got to the ball first by diving in studs first. If he had tried to run to the ball fairly like Besedin did, Besedin would have gotten there first.
