Group D FINALE: Ukraine 0-1 England; France 0-2 Sweden

This is the last major tournament not to feature goal line technology.

The human brain and eyes are not up to it, as was proved in the England game last night. It looked over the line from where I was sitting a few thousand miles away, despite Terry's best efforts to hook it out.

But a powerless bloke in yellow couldn't see it was over from a few yards away. And so England scraped a win and knocked out the co-hosts, so now there are no hosts left in their tournament.

And England win the Group, thanks to an Ibrahamovic cracker and a scrambled second in time added on. Again, I've been made to look like the worst predictor of football results since the last very bad predictor of football results. No, not him. HIM.

HOW THEY FINISHED: 1: ENGLAND  2: FRANCE  3: Ukraine  4: Sweden.

Here's how some crazy fool thought the group would end up.

They Finished 15th: SWEDEN

Ibrahimovic did seem to enjoy giving Joe Hart a bit of lip pie after the Swedes went 2-1 up against England. And yet it is Hart who had the last laugh, the England win sending the Swedes out, hot on the heels of the Irish who were the first to fall.

This wasn't a vintage Swedish team. Mellberg's highly unexpected brace against England the highlight in what's likely to be his last major tournament.

Other than that, Ibrahimovic looked dangerous without troubling the scorers, at least in the first two games that mattered. Have still yet to see him play a really good game, though apparently his record against English teams is poor.

England 3-2 Sweden

England go one-up. Check. England can't defend one-goal lead. Check. England go behind after being ahead. Check. England score two stunning goals to come from behind and beat a nation they've never beaten before in a tournament. Ah, er... check your brain, fella-me-lad.

But no. It really happened. England sent Sweden crashing out of the tournament with a comeback the like of which England just don't do. We don't do volleys from outside the area, Mr Walcott. And Mr Welbeck, what was that audacious flick into the net all about? How very un-English!

It also appears we don't mark people called Mellberg, but to moan would be churlish. A great win.

Bring on Ukraine.

Ukraine 2-1 Sweden

This much yellow hasn't been seen in one stadium since Custard Rovers played Banana City in the Vanilla Ice Cream Cup Final.

And you can't complain if you're from Ukraine. Your team tops Group D, and your top striker has already banged in a couple.

I must confess to falling asleep before the end of this one, no criticism of the quality of the game, more a criticism of my ability to handle alcohol!
