Sports Update: Euro Finalists decided

Russia, Turkey, Portugal and Sweden completed the final four spots for the Euro 2008 championships with England being the biggest name to fail to qualify.

Needing a win or atleast a draw against Croatia, England blew it all by conceding 2 goals in the first 14 minutes. Though they managed to come back from the dead by scoring two goals back after half time, Croatia killed them off with a goal in the 76th minute to send England crashing out.

Russia needed a win at Andorra and laboured to a 1-0 win.

The Euro begins mid 2008 in Austria and Switzerland.

Poland, Portugal, Italy, France, Greece, Turkey, Czech Republic, Germany, Croatia, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Romania and the Dutch join the hosts Austria and Switzerland.
