Losing dynamo Franck Ribery to injury and Eric Abidal with a straight red card in the first half proved too much for Les Bleus to overcome as they concluded their lacklustre Euro 2008 campaign with a loss to Italy. The Azzurri advance to the knockout rounds by virtue of their win and the Romanians loss to the Dutch.

The unstoppable Oranje continued to roll -- despite a starting lineup which featured 9 new players-- as they defeated Romania and topped Group C with a perfect record. Romania controlled their own destiny and would have advanced with a win but were outclassed by the Dutch second string.
