Ukrainian government document instructing a racism clamp down during Euro2012.

A human rights activist in Ukraine shows us a government document instructing a clamp-down on racism during Euro2012. And we’re with Dutch fans as they go from supreme confidence to despair in Kharkiv

We’re with Dutch fans as they go from having unshakable confidence to drowning their sorrows.

World Football has seen a document signed off by the Ukrainian Interior ministry, instructing authorities to clamp down on racism during the Euros. The document contains the names of 1200 known hooligans and leading human rights activist, Evgeniy Zakharov, says that it means that cases of racism will be unlikely in the country. Two Nigerian students in Kharkiv tell us that they’ve never experienced any racism.

And as Antigua and Barbuda continue their bid to qualify for the World Cup, we’re with them in Florida to see how they do against the United States.
