Sweden are not out yet though, but a draw in this game was pivotal for them because a team has 87% chance of progressing with 3 draws.
Now they have to win in their final match against Belgium to qualify, huge ask.

Should have been but I think Granqvists turn and plunge didn't help him.
That was a poor game and Sweden are probably the worst team so far. Not a single shot on target in 2 games Lolers
Although it seems weird that so many teams go through I do like that it means pretty much everyone still has something to play for in the 3rd game instead of half the teams already being out and the games being pointless. Even the teams with no points from the first 2 could sneak through with a win in the 3rd game

And different weight groups.
Wait a minute.......
Impossible to get tickets at a reasonable price for this. Thought I'd found one but the guy wants 300€ for a category 3 ticket. Ridiculous.
Ah fuck, Wilmots has decided to pull his finger out and actually select a competent lineup.
I wouldn't call splitting up two centre backs who have played together all year competent.
He can finish a difficult chance like this but can't score tap-ins.
Lukaku finally does something worthwhile
De bruyne has had a better game as well
Lukaku is a top player. Nearly split Wilmots in half with his abs there too. 😆
Poor Belgium. Dembele is probably Belgium's best CM.
Ireland needs to keep the scoreline down now.
Sub on Roy Keane's beard, it looks fiercer than most of Ireland's lineup.
Quite hard to see because they're so close together but Lukaku's finish actually took a pretty significant deflection off of John O'Shea.

Na, not for me. Just a runner and little else. Tactically clueless.
3-0. Total disaster for ROI. Shit play by McClean
Yowsers, another for Lukaku, ROI could be on the end of a tonking here
Turned into a real slaughter now. Very naive defending up the pitch there.
Lukaku now acting like he's the man because he's scored against Darren Randolph and John O'Shea...gotta do it when it matters Romelu.
Hard to see ROI or Sweden getting a win in their final match. This is probably one of the groups where the 3rd place don't make it through.
