...French capitulation and Italy's draw sets up a do or die repeat of the 2006 World Cup final between them next Tuesday - certainly without Zinedine Zindane and likely without his foil Marco Materazzi - while the Romanians take on the Dutch, who are through to the next round. A couple of draws and Romania advances...
Zimbabwe lurches deeper into crisis as President Robert Mugabe's government menaces the opposition and its supporters in the walk-up to a second round of elections at the end of June.

The Russians can argue, with some justice, that the scoreline against Spain didn't reflect the skill they showed. But whatever happens at the tournament, Russian football has already strung together a run of small successes, rekindling memories of some terrific teams - at both club and national level - from the 20 years after World...
