Group D Climax!

Current tournament profit (If you placed a fiver on all tips) - £169.80

England vs Ukraine
After coming from behind in such dramatic fashion against Sweden, England only need a point against Ukraine to progress into the knock-out round. In all likelihood second place will mean a quarter-final with the World and European champions Spain, so Roy Hodgson's side won't be playing for the draw, because if they better France's result they'd top Group D.

Rooney to make return with a goal? He's 33/20 with Sportingbet to score at anytime!

Ukraine were very poor in the second half against France and will have to improve dramatically if they are to get the win they need to qualify. Progression is still in their hands, and with home advantage, a victory isn't unrealistic. The last time these two sides met Ukraine beat England in Kiev in a World Cup qualifier, giving the Ukrainians extra confidence ahead of their date with destiny!



I can see this one being a draw, meaning England will progress; however will have to settle for second spot.

Sweden vs France
Defeat against England eliminated the Swede's meaning they have only pride to play for against France. Defensively all tournament Sweden have been poor and they face a French side full of attacking flair and quality, meaning they'll struggle to keep them quiet. Going forward they've actually looked quite dangerous from both open play and set pieces, with the latter probably their best route of victory against France.



Once France opened the scoring against Ukraine there was only ever going to be one winner, and their two goal victory has made them favourites to not only progress but top the group. Karim Benzema is yet to open his Euro 2012 account; however he assisted both goals in their 2-0 victory on Friday, and a goal is surely due for the Real Madrid forward.
