Must win. We seem to have played Sweden either in qualifying or the finals in virtually every World Cup and Euro campaign I can remember and I don't think we've ever beaten them apart from that friendly last year.

Think Walcott has to start over Milner given we actually need to create chances and win this game now that the point against France has been achieved. I might be tempted to go with Defoe over Welbeck too. Other than that keep the rest the same. I expect Hodgson will probably go with the same 11 again though.

I'd rest Parker for the rest of the tournament.

England will win this.

I'd swap Ox and Youngs positions and bring in Walcott for Milner.

I'm predicting a draw.

Timbob

England going 4-4-2 supposedly. Wellbeck and Carroll up top.

lorddulaarsenal

i think we'll give them a good spanking

Hmmm.
The headlines would not be that kind 🙂

Tony Montana

20,000 Swedish fans in Ukraine.

Only 3000 odd English fans travelled to Ukraine. I'm really surprised. I thought the English traveled in vast numbers everywhere. Obviously not.

Apparantly flights over there cost tons as do hotels. No direct flights.

Poland is much easier to reach and cheaper.

IBL

haha that's pretty cool, especially if they get walloped 5-0

James

It's got 1-1 draw written all over it. First two games drawn, going into the last needing a win...it's the only way England know.

Hope i'm wrong, mind.

Carroll AND Scottie starting, ooo joy 🙂
Looking forward to watching that.

Fancy Carroll to score

spacemanspiff

... in his own net

Qwiss

No Ox and no Theo so come on Sweden!

Jeez Shearer has just said that at his best Andy Carroll is unplayable.
Has he gone mad?
Hansen precedes that by saying he began showing his £35m worth in the last six weeks of the season.

lorddulaarsenal

Young is the key man here

spacemanspiff

Wonder which Ibra will turn up. Can see the back 4 + Parker/Gerrard shackle him quite well to be honest but you never know.

Enjoy klaus Rex n timbo!

Commentator just asked if Andy Caroll can emulate Paul Gascoigne at Euro 96.

spacemanspiff

Carroll isn't going to get a single shove go uncalled by the ref.
