Andriy Shevchenko hailed his heroic Ukraine players following their dramatic 2-1 extra-time win over Sweden as he prepares to turn his focus to a Euro 2020 quarter-final showdown against England.
Ukraine progressed to the European Championship last eight for the first time thanks to Artem Dovbyk s last-gasp winner in extra time after Oleksandr Zinchenko had seen his opener cancelled out by Emil Forsberg on Tuesday.
Shevchenko s Ukraine will face England, who beat Germany 2-0 at Wembley earlier in the day, in Rome on Saturday after Dovbyk headed home at the end of 120 minutes.
Ukraine s only previous appearance in the knockout stages of a major competition came at the 2006 World Cup when eliminating Switzerland before losing to Italy in the last eight.

PSV Eindhoven are in talks with Ivan Perisic over the possibility of the Croatian winger joining the club as a free agent, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Perisic, 35, has had an extremely illustrious career. Having started as a youthful talent at Hajduk Split, he played for Sochaux in France, and KSV Roeselare and Club Brugge in Belgium, before moving to Germany to join Borussia Dortmund in 2011. He spent 18 months there and 18 months at Wolfsburg, and made a notable mark over four years with Inter Milan. He had a loan spell with Bayern Munich, winning the 2020 Champions League with the Bavarians. He then returned to Inter and spent another two years there, before leaving as a free agent to join Tottenham Hotspur. In January this year, he returned on loan to Hajduk and signed a …
Lionel Messi finally secured his holy grail this weekend as Argentina claimed a 1-0 win over bitter rivals Brazil at the Maracana to lift the Copa America.
The six-time Ballon d Or winner has cleaned up time and again with club side Barcelona but major honours at international level had repeatedly proved elusive.
Germany beat the Albiceleste 1-0 after extra time in the 2014 World Cup final, after which Messi was named player of the tournament – a much disputed award given he appeared to be shadow of himself during the closing knockout stages.
The same could not be said when the 34-year-old lifted the individual gong in Rio. Although he was not Argentina s standout performer in the final, Messi was a man on a mission who would not be denied throughout the com…

The Dallas Cowboys stumble back to Arlington after suffering the biggest upset of the young 2023 NFL season and now must prepare for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots in Week 4.
Dallas was absolutely dumped as an 11-point favorite at Arizona last Sunday, losing 28-16 to the Cardinals following two one-sided wins over the New York teams to start the schedule.
The Cowboys are still getting plenty of respect from the NFL odds in Week 4, hovering around touchdown favorites at home to New England.
The Patriots picked up their first victory of the season, edging the punchless Jets 15-10 in Week 3. New England had an uphill climb in the opening two weeks, taking on powerhouses in Philadelphia and Miami: Does Dallas still fall into that category?

Just how low can they go? That question will be on the minds of football fans and sports bettors alike this evening when the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers clash on Thursday Night Football. The Pats rank dead last in the NFL in scoring at a paltry 12.3 points per game and were blanked by the Los Angeles Chargers the last time they took the field. The Steelers, meanwhile, have scored 10 points or less five times this season and have the league’s 28th ranked offense. It’s no wonder that tonight’s projected Over/Under of 30.5 points is the lowest total for an NFL game since 2005.
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch tonight’s game, you can also live stream Patriots vs. Steelers direc…
