LONDON - England clinched its place at the 2012 European Championship despite Wayne Rooneys sending-off in a 2-2 draw at Montenegro, while Croatia missed a chance to reach the finals by losing 2-0 to Greece in the penultimate round of qualifying matches on Friday. Needing at least a draw to win Group G, England was 2-1 up thanks to goals by Ashley Young and Darren Bent when Rooney was shown a red card in the 74th minute for kicking out at defender Miodrag Dzudovic. Andrija Delibasics late equalizer ensured Montenegro clinched a playoff spot while England became the fifth team to qualify for the finals, after defending champion Spain, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. Ukraine and Poland did not need to qualify as host nations. "He made a silly mistake when he kicked the opponent ... Im not happy, absolutely," England coach Fabio Capello said of Rooney, who looked to have controlled his temper in recent years. "We will find a solution to play without him (at the start of Euro 2012). Well try some things out in the friendlies." Captain John Terry and Capello were both concerned that Englands form suffered late in the match. "We let them back in the game and unfortunately they got the goal at the end, but we are through," Terry said. Greece, European champions in 2004, moved two points above Croatia at the top of Group F with its win in Athens in a match that was suspended for six minutes after crowd trouble early in the game. "I knew we would create chances ... We defended the Croats counterattacks rather easily," said coach Fernando Santos, who remains undefeated at Greeces helm. The game was less than three minutes old when it was suspended. More than a 100 masked men, many of whom were also wearing motorcycle helmets, suddenly attacked the Croat supporters with flares and one petrol bomb. The Croats threw seats at their attackers and briefly scuffled with riot police, who used pepper spray. Russias 1-0 victory at Slovakia means it needs just a draw against Andorra — which hasnt picked up a point in nine games — in its final match to win Group B. "I congratulate my players," Russia coach Dick Advocaat said. "We deserved to win." Elsewhere in Group B, Irelands 2-0 win at Andorra earned it a showdown with Armenia in Dublin on Tuesday that will decide which of the two goes to the playoffs, assuming Russia do not fail against the Andorrans. Ireland needs only a draw to secure second place. France and Bosnia-Herzegovina will meet in a winner-takes-all match in Paris on Tuesday to decide which team finishes first in Group D after both comfortably won on Friday. The French, who have qualified for every major tournament since missing out on the 1994 World Cup, beat Albania 3-0 at home thanks to goals by Florent Malouda, Loic Remy and Anthony Reveillere. They are a point clear of Bosnia-Herzegovina, which thrashed Luxembourg 5-0 with striker Edin Dzeko among the scorers. "Were going to start thinking about Tuesdays game right now," France coach Laurent Blanc said, a Euro 2000 winner as a player. "We know its going to be decisive, we expected as much, but tonights game is going to give us even more confidence." Portugal and Denmark claimed high-scoring victories over Iceland and Cyprus respectively to remain level on points in Group H ahead of a meeting in Copenhagen that will decide which team finishes top. Manchester United winger Nani grabbed a first-half double in Portugals 5-3 win in Porto while Dennis Rommedahl scored twice and assisted on a third in Denmarks 4-1 victory in Nicosia. Portugal only needs a point in Copenhagen on Tuesday having already beaten the Danes at home in qualifying. Norway are three points behind in third. Spain, Germany and the Netherlands all won to stay perfect at the top of their groups. Spain, the world and European champion, claimed a seventh straight victory in Group I by beating the Czech Republic 2-0 away thanks to goals by Juan Mata and Xabi Alonso. Klaas-Jan Huntelaars strike earned the Netherlands a 1-0 win over Moldova, its ninth victory in a row clinching first place in Group E, while Germany defeated Turkey 3-1 away through goals by Thomas Mueller, Mario Gomez and Bastian Schweinsteiger in Group A. It was also the Germans ninth straight win. Sweden is assured of second place behind the Dutch after a 2-1 win in Finland. Group C winner Italy drew 1-1 at Serbia, allowing Estonia to climb above the Serbs into second place with a 2-1 victory at Northern Ireland. Serbia can still finish runner-up if it beats Slovenia away on Tuesday. cheap nfl jerseys . The last two games, however, the Padres have been resolute.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- Former world champion Caster Semenya qualified for the 800 metres at the London Olympics on Friday. The South African eased concerns about her early season form by running 1 minute, 59.58 seconds in a provincial meet on her home track at the University of Pretoria. It was the second time she ran faster than the qualifying time of 1:59.90, making her eligible for her first Olympics when South Africas team is likely announced in July. "I have to win a gold (at the Olympics). Thats what I want," Semenya said. "My dream is to win the Olympics, and thats my plan. I feel OK because now I can run good races again, run faster. Qualifying for the Olympics, its a good step forward." The 21-year-old Semenya first ran in under 2 minutes while winning silver at last years world championships in South Korea. She failed to break 2 minutes in her first two races this year, including the successful defence of her national title, but found her form in a dominant win Friday with help from Namibian pacemaker Herunga Tjipekapora. Tjipekapora led Semenya through about 450 metres before giving way. Semenyas nearest challengers finished well behind, witth Monique Stander almost three seconds back in second.dddddddddddd Semenya burst onto the scene by winning at the 2009 worlds as a teenager in a blistering time of 1:55.45 before a gender test controversy sidelined her for 11 months. Semenya has overcome a string of setbacks since her stunning international debut. After the enforced layoff while athletics governing body reviewed the gender test results, a niggling back injury in 2010 forced her to miss the Commonwealth Games and her relationship with then-coach Michael Seme broke down just before the 2011 worlds. The 800-meter race Friday was Semenyas third under new mentor and former Olympic champion Maria Mutola, but likely her last in South Africa before the Olympics. Semenya will head to Europe next month to start her final buildup to the London Games. She is confirmed to run at the IAAF event in Ostrava, Czech Republic, on May 25 and the Diamond League meeting in Rome on May 31, manager Jukka Harkonen said. "I am very happy with the time, now I know what my plans for the European season are," Semenya said. "I dont have to rush now, you just have to be patient and wait for the Olympics." cheap jerseys from china ' ' '
