DONETSK, Ukraine — While Ukraine needs to win to stay in its home European Championship, England has the pressure to live up to its billing.

Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin says England, which only needs a draw, will be "more nervous" than his team for their decisive Group D match on Tuesday.

Blokhin says "they are supposed to win. It would be very unexpected (if they didn't). I think they are more nervous. We have nothing to lose."
