If the France game doesn't take place today, it'll be played tomorrow.

From the tournament regulations:
"If a match cannot commence or is abandoned before the end of normal playing time or during any extra time because the field is not fit for play or for other reasons, it must be played or replayed in full the next day. If, for reasons beyond control, it cannot be replayed the next day, the UEFA administration will take a final decision."

When was the last match ever postponed in a major Euro/World Cup due to weather like this, I can't remember within my time, there must been the odd one in the early stages of the competition, probably a country like Czechoslovakia when they were one country, in the 50s or 60s, or even earlier.

According to 5 Live there won't be a decision made for another 40 minutes plus apparently the pitch is now under water.

According to the BBC, if it is postponed until tomorrow, they will only play the remaining 86 minutes or so.

Would it be simple to use one of the other venues, even if they have to travel to Poland on a Sunday to play it, if needed be.

If the pitch in Donetsk is still waterlogged tomorrow, they could move it somewhere else in Ukraine but I guess they'd have to decide a day in advance. Any abandonment would play into England's hands with England facing Ukraine, having had an extra day's rest (or maybe two) and a fresh Rooney raring to go...

I just hope there is any more severe rain, over the next 3 days, as England are playing at Donetsk on Tuesday.

Match resumes at 6pm! England match may be delayed 30 minutes to suit broadcasters in countries which only use one channel for the football, according to Sky Sports.

I was expecting something more spectacular from Ukraine after their opening match, after the French scored twice in a spate of 3 minutes the game became rather slow, the Ukranians just fell to pieces they couldn't get back in the game. England need a result now.

What's the rules re: yellow cards? Are they carried into the knockout part of the competition or wiped out after the group stage?

England need a result now. Indeed. They were pretty poor after France scored. I was hoping for a draw, it would have been a good result for England.

I can't believe I missed the England goal! I'd ordered a pizza and was taking delivery when Carroll scored!

Great goal from Carroll, we played well in the first half and kept the game flowing and kept the ball in Sweden's half most of the time. Another goal is well needed though in the second half and keep ball possession and try not to fall asleep, overall great first half, very entertaining.
