Hello and welcome to Sweden v Ukraine in the last 16 of the European Championships!

And here we go, a quick exchange between Lustig and Larsson allowing the former to find Kuluseksvi out right. He quickly comes back inside onto his left foot and spins a cross towards the far post, where Forsberg can't quite time his jump, getting up too early and unable to direct a header goalwards.

The funny thing is that at least as far as this matchup goes, Sweden's relative strength is in attack. If they move the ball a bit quicker, there are goals out there for them.

This is a very slow game so far, but you expected that.

Frosberg goes around the outside of the Ukraine defence before cutting back towards Isak ... but Kryvtsov intercepts to knock behind and the corner picks out Buschan.

Here come Ukraine, Yaremchuk playing a one-two off Yarmolenko, his on-pitch BFF. The return sweeps him into the box and he's on its right ... but scuffs his side-footer and Olsen saves low. That was a really good chance, that should've been taken.

Kulusevski gets the ball out to Larsson, but his cross is poor and Ukraine clear.

Tell you what, the refereeing in this tournament has been superb. A lot of it is just leniency - no one's handing out cards every five seconds, so players aren't getting sent off for nothing all over the show, and VAR has worked as well as it can. Not well enough, if you're asking me - I want players and fans to be able to celebrate, and when Yan Sommer saved Kylian Mbappe's penalty last night, he had to hang on - but it's not interfered anywhere near as much as it does in the Premier League.

Sweden knock it about then Lindelof carries forward. Given the pace they have up front, they should be using his passing to try and pick out Isak and Kulusevski, but here, the ball goes wide to Lustig. He crosses into the box and Bushchan comes, punching a bit of ball and a bit of defender's head, the combination of the two enough to get the ball away.

It looks like Ukraine are plsying three at the back, Zabarnyi, Kryvtsov and Matviyenko, with Karavaev and Zinchenko the wing-backs.

We're away!

Apologies, my system crashed, but we're back just in time for kick-off!

I'm struggling to see a way for Ukraine tonight. Everywhere I look, Sweden are superior; I can't see how they don't score and I can't see how they'll be scored against.

Nine years ago, Andriy Shevchenko had time.

And as for this lad...

This lad is a very fine player, and his two finishes against Poland were excellent.

I mentioned Kulusevski earlier, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how he links up with Isak, who looks to have all the raw materials necessary to become a top centre-forward. I'm looking forward to seeing how he develops over the next few years, but I'm also expecting an influential performance from him tonight.

Who wasn't expecting this?

Here's that interview I mentioned in full. I'm not a huge fan of Southgate as a manager, but as a man he's a mensch.

Just when you thought England beating Germany was the maddest thing to happen today, it turns out to be sunny in Glasgow when it's raining in London.
