Thank you Stanciu

Romania 3 - 0 Ukraine

A game that many, I expect, are likely to have missed. But thanks to a dose of sinusitis, I got to enjoy it all.

The game has been fun, scrappy and hectic to begin with, but Romania made it good fun, with a gung-ho attitude and real energy. 

For a short while I wondered if Mudrik would turn on the style, perhaps less erratic in his national colours, but more and more his transfer value is looking hyper-inflated.

Romania's Stancu scored a contender for goal of the tournament, nothing like an absolute thunder bastard to liven up proceedings. Two further goals followed and Romania absolutely deserved the win and the three points. If England could have mustered even half of the intensity and urgency they showed, then last night's snorefest would have been different.

Group D remains open though.

What's up next. Ooh. Belgium v Slovakia.
