ENGLAND 2 - 0 SWEDEN | Official Matchday Thread


Recommended Posts

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Gonna be a really tough game, seen some people talk about Sweden like their a nothing team. They will be organised and disciplined and will be tough to break down. Not much attacking threat so we should really commit the wingbacks to attack today. Would swap Alli to play just behind Kane if he's fit, bring in Loftus-Cheek to play in Alli's role. 

 

Gonna be tough but if we play well we'll give them a good go.

Most nervous I’ve been since I went to Brighton away for the play offs 

Yeah I wasn't expecting much from the team to be honest. Thought we'd get to last 16 at a push. Safe to say with the way the draw has fallen and the way we have played I'm pretty optimistic we could make the final (still think France will win it). With that optimism comes nerves too. Stuck at work unfortunately for the game so will be keeping an eye on the BBC sports page!

Cry havoc and let slip ...

 

... Raheem Sterling?

 

 

Will he get another chance to repay Southgate's faith?

He made the effort against Colombia but everything he did seemed wrong somehow

Wrong place, wrong run, wrong touch, wrong pass

He's just a wrong 'un  :mellow:

This is going to be one tight and awkward game. I have full respect for the swedes -

in fact I have full respect for all Scandinavian countries. They are honest, disciplined, hard working and they have a good team ethic.

 

It will be close and I think we may edge it in extra time.

It's a funny one with young Raheem. He comes into the category of player who I become almost desperate for to perform. 

 

Start to wonder though whether he's one of those, and there's been many, who improve for their clubs but the national stage always seems an elusive step too far. 

 

I'd dearly like the lad to bang one home today.
