Did England just get lucky to slot into a home game?

It doesnt look like any other team but England was set up with a home game if they won their group.

Les Bleus were playing in the Hungarian capital of Budapest last Saturday afternoon but, according to Romanian newspaper Jurnalul National, the six hapless work colleagues boarded a flight that morning that landed more than 500 miles away in the Romanian capital of Bucharest.

Quote:

---

They had been drinking in the city with some Ukraine fans they had met at the airport -- where neither the Romanian flags nor the language spoken by the officials at the airport made them realise that they had landed in the wrong place -- and travelled into the centre of town with them on the bus.

The Ukrainians were in Bucharest quite correctly, ahead of their country's final Group C game against Austria at the Arena Nationala, which was to be played on Monday evening.

"We thought they were Hungarian fans going to the game and we followed them, thinking that as they were from the city they knew the way to the stadium," one of the France fans told Jurnalul National.

Wow. UEFA announced the away goals rule is going away for future tournaments.

(I know this isn't Euro-specific, but figured it'd be of most interest here.)
