No penalty shoot-out for France v Italy, unfortunately: Quote: |
Originally Posted by BBC Sports Italy and France will not face a penalty shoot-out on Tuesday no matter what the results are in the final games in Group C, Uefa has confirmed.
The European football governing body had suggested a shoot-out could be used to determine which of the two teams finishes bottom of the group.
But a Uefa official attempted to clear up the confusion over the matter.
"There is no way that France and Italy can go to a penalty shoot-out," a spokesman told BBC Sport. The Netherlands have already secured top spot in the group but the other three teams in the so-called 'Group of Death' are still battling to clinch the other quarter-final berth.
A Romania victory would ensure their passage through to the knockout stages and effectively render the France-Italy game meaningless. But on Monday it was claimed that should Romania go through and France and Italy draw then their group positions would be determined by a shoot-out. However, Uefa has clarified that a penalty shoot-out would only be used to determine which team qualifies when two sides finish level on points and cannot be separated by goals scored. | Netherlands v Romania news: Quote: |

John Heitinga and Demy de Zeeuw are likely to deputise, while Arjen Robben is expected to start his first match after two substitute appearances. Romania's Mirel Radoi is ruled out of the tournament with a head injury, while defender Dorin Goian is banned. Cristian Chivu could drop back to cover Goian, with Nicolae Dica and Banel Nicolita coming into midfield. Romania beat the Netherlands 1-0 in qualifying for Euro 2008 and held them to a goalless draw in Rotterdam.
A win in Berne will put Romania into the quarter-finals and match their best ever result in a major tournament. The Dutch have kept up their record of making the quarter-finals in every European Championship since they won it in 1988.
Both Heitinga and De Zeeuw will be looking to play their way into coach Marco van Basten's thoughts for the next stage. According to Van Basten Real Madrid winger Robben is "raring to go and eager" to start against Romania. Van Basten is expected to rest at least five of the starting line-up which beat 2006 World Cup finalists France 4-1 on Friday. Ajax striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is set to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy up front, while Robin van Persie and Ibrahim Afellay could replace midfielders Real Madrid's Wesley Sneijder and Hamburg's Rafael Van der Vaart. | |

That'll be France out then.
As it was a big deflection - will it be credited as an Henry OG? - I really hope so!

I love the Italian national anthem. Best one at Euro 2008. S'cool to hear there fans sing it uring the match and stuff.
