Euro 2012: England pay the penalty yet again
Stop all the clocks. Make alternative plans for next weekend. Remove the smudged Cross of St George flag from your passenger window. England are out of Euro 2012 after a defeat on penalties to Italy on a night of grand footballing drama in Kiev that was first explosive, then thumb-gnawingly attritional, and finally, for England, rather desolate.

If there is consolation for Roy Hodgson's team, it is that they have exceeded expectations. They played their part in an absorbing quarter-final capped by the operatic agony of a shootout, but serenaded right to the death by a wonderfully unrelenting band of supporters camped at one end of the stadium.

The end, when it came, was swift: with the match scoreless after 120 minutes, Riccardo Montolivo missed an early penalty for Italy, only for Ashley Young to then miss for England, before Ashley Cole's weak kick was saved. That left Alessandro Diamanti to win it for Italy – which he did nervelessly.

And so football may not be coming home, but England's footballers are, after one last trip back to Krakow to say farewell to a city that has proved a happy choice as team base. There will be many regrets at what might have been after the resilient, disciplined and very occasionally exuberant victories against Sweden and Ukraine. But then, this has turned out to be an unexpectedly heartening tournament for England fans generally, fortified in advance by the widespread rock-bottom expectations of a team stitched together in record time and depleted of key players by the usual roster of twangs and sprains and twists.

On their final outing at Euro 2012, England persevered for the full 120 minutes, a team of tyros and old hands pushed the limits of their energies but still retaining the tactical disciplines Hodgson has conjured, even as they faded against superior opposition.

As the hours ticked away towards kickoff, this had felt like the moment Kiev, the venue for the final, really got the idea of staging a football tournament. In brilliant sunshine, its central boulevards were thronged with local oddities: pigeon-fanciers, Ukrainian body-poppers and a miniskirted cowgirl folk-drumming troupe, while in the heart of the fan zone a slice of England had erected itself.
