Finland plays Russia with Euro 2020 knockout stage in reach

Lost, perhaps, in the drama surrounding Christian Eriksen's collapse during Denmark's game against Finland at the European Championship was the result after play resumed. The Finns, playing in their first ever game at a major soccer tournament, won 1-0 in Copenhagen. It will likely go down as one of the most overlooked scorelines in the history of the tournament, given what had happened to Eriksen. Indeed, Finland captain Tim Sparv said there were barely any celebrations in the dressing room. It was very quiet, Sparv said, and understandably so. Maybe Finland can now start to get excited. A place in the knockout stage at Euro 2020 is within reach and will be guaranteed with a win over Russia on Wednesday. That hasn't happened in more than a century since a 2-1 victory at the Olympic soccer tournament in 1912, when Finland was under the control of Russia but the Finns might not have a better chance to end that long wait. Russia was beaten by Belgium 3-0 in its opening game in G

Ukraine's Euro 2020 shirt to keep Crimea design, lose slogan

Ukraine must modify its team shirt for the European Championship after UEFA on Thursday upheld part of a Russian complaint about slogans and a map that included Crimea. The yellow-and-blue shirt design unveiled on Sunday angered Russian officials by including an outline of Ukraine's land territory with the Crimea region which Russia annexed in 2014. The fresh UEFA ruling allows the map to stay on the shirt, in line with international law which recognizes the Russian annexation as illegal. However, one of the two slogans woven into the inside of the shirt collar Glory to the heroes must be removed. Glory to Ukraine can remain visible on the back of the shirt's neck. Russian lawmakers linked the two slogans together as being used by Ukrainian nationalists, some of whom fought with the Nazis against the Soviet Union in World War II. UEFA said it approved Glory to the heroes last December, separate from the other slogan which was allowed two years earlier. Following further analysi
