Euro 2012: Matchday 12 (Group D)

Euro2012

The Euro 2012 group stage comes to an end Tuesday, with the final two places in the quarterfinals up for grabs. Three of the four teams in action Tuesday have a chance at qualifying for the knockout round, including co-host Ukraine, which can advance with a win over England (2:45 p.m., ESPN/ESPN3.com).

The Three Lions, who will go through with a win or a draw, get Wayne Rooney back from suspension, and the Manchester United star is in the starting lineup alongside his club teammate Danny Welbeck, replacing Andy Carroll as the only change Roy Hodgson has made from the team that beat Sweden on Friday. Andriy Shevchenko's knee injury has prevented him from taking his place the starting lineup for Ukraine, though he is available off the bench. If the co-hosts bow out, it will be his final match on the international level.

In the day's other game, France can put the finishing touches on a place in the quarterfinals with a win or draw against Sweden (2:45 p.m., ESPN2/ESPN3.com), which is winless and has already been eliminated.
