The Ukrainian media have been highly critical of match officials for not recognising that Marko Devic's shot had crossed the line in the 1-0 defeat by England that ended their Euro 2012 dreams.
“The referees stole Devic’s goal and Ukraine’s chances to beat England,” says the headline on the Ukrainian sports website
sport.ua.
“Ukraine has had no privileges at this championship.
“It had no weak group, like Poland, or at least fair
referees. The definition ‘hosts are favoured’ cannot be used in this
case. We were hindered rather than helped. Where are chips in balls,
where are video replays or the hawk eye system?” the website asked.
