The England match will kick off 15 minutes later than planned at 8.00pm English time live on BBC1.

This is to allow supporters to watch the Ukraine v France match live in full first on ITV1.

You will not miss a minute of either match live.

The move of the England v Sweden kick off to 8pm was essential due to many broadcasters around the world in Asia, Europe, Australia and America covering both matches live back to back on national channels.

What's the time difference between the UK and Ukraine? Is it 2 or 3 hours ahead?

His job is to cover Johnson. We pick a full back who cannot do the job so have to pick someone to cover him.

Actually, credit where credits due, he looked quite good defensively last game.

Yes, but sadly he is supposedly an attaking midfielder, not a full back. Especially when we have picked a centre forward that thrives on crosses.

Hang on - you slate him saying he can't defend, when it's pointing out he can you then slate him for not going forward enough?

I am not slating him. I said he was picked as cover for Johnson. It is the original selection of Johnson that is wrong making Milner into a defender.

But Johnson has looked perfectly good defensively so far? He was great in the France game so why all of a sudden assume a formation is being played because he needs help in defence?

You said Milner was great defensively. So what was Johnson doing, apart form going forward and meandering back slowly. If you had a full back who knew what he was doing, you would not task a winger to help him.

Hang on... I think some crossed wires here!

I think Johnson is fine defensively and did a great job against France. I also don't think he needs a winger to help him out in any way other than a winger normally would.

In terms of Milner, I actually don't think he's great either defending or attacking sadly... But hopefully he can make an impact tonight.

Alan Green will be moaning and groaning, with the later kickoff... his 606 phone in show will follow the match... which means Greeny Babes will still be on-air somewhere around 1am local time, and beyond

Should England lose tonight, that would mean we have to beat Ukraine on Tuesday and hope France beat Sweden.

A draw would mean we still have to beat Ukraine, but a Sweden win against France wouldn't knock us out.

An England win will mean a draw will be enough against Ukraine to qualify.

When is the last time England beat Sweden? I remember the commentators saying England hadn't won since the early 90s or something when it ended 2-2 in the 2006 World Cup.

We've never won against them in a competitive game.
