Rooney was back in the squad today following a suspension. England's squad were looking very strong but Ukraine were taking hold of the possession, making the opposition have something to look out for. In the first half the co-hosts had many attempt to score; none of them resulting in a goal. England were lagging behind and had to do something.
In the second half, England picked their game up a lot and scored a fantastic goal with Rooney's header. Right at that moment England were topping their group, not something that was expected from them. However, Ukraine had planned an attack. The ball ended in the goal by *that* much over the line, John Terry managed to kick it far out onto the pitch. Even with the official standing on the goal line, the goal was not spotted. Luck was on England's side. The game ended 1-0 to England, putting them through to the quarter finals.
