QF3: Sweden v England

I can't see Sweden troubling England's defence too much. England really have a dream draw this time around.

 

[Pratters]

It's such a lopsided draw, crazy.

 

[Howe_zat]

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought England have a rubbish record against Sweden?

 

[sledger]

They do.

 

[vcs]

Sweden are the most boring international team ever. They're just... there. I barely know anything about them or their players, even more so now that they don't have Ibrahimovic. But they're somehow always grinding out a couple of narrow wins and making it to the Round of 16 of most tournaments.

And I'm sure as and when Eng advance through this tournament you won't tire of telling us this.

Always well organised and tough to beat. No pushover. This will not be an easy game.

There is a local beer festival on just a couple of miles away from where I live this Thursday-Saturday .. I can see Saturday being somewhat a blur of day. Couldn’t have asked for anything more... sun, beer and an England team going through to a WC semi- final ...

 

[S.Kennedy]

I've seen a lot of Sweden/England games - we usually drew them in the groups - and they're usually incredibly dull affairs.

 

[Uppercut]

Sweden are very Pulisy. On one hand England's players will be used to facing it, but OTOH their set piece defending is pretty bad.

 

[sledger]

Yeah, can't see it being one for the neutrals.

Absolutely abysmal.

Brolin-Dahlin-Brolin oh ****.

If last night was for Southgate, lets do it for Graham Taylor on Saturday.

We beat them in Euro 2012 though

Haha I had completel forgotten this match ever happened. Weird, as it was a good one. Probably the highlight of Andy Carroll's career.

Edit: Just read about this, and turns out this is the only ever time England have beaten Sweden in a competitive match. Law of averages on our side then...

Meh not really. In the end, if one wins the world cup, that's all that matters.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Why are we getting so hyped? Our team is basically Tottenham and they always bottle it anyway.

Why do dogs chase cars?

It's mad isn't it........I don;t know about anyone else but I kept a pretty level head about this whole campaign up until the Columbia game. Now I've lost my **** about it (like I promised myself at the start I wouldn't)........I'm starting to believe, no it's even worse than that, I'm starting to form potential plans in my head for the final if we get there (already told my boss I will be taking time off work should we get therel ffs)

Why do I do this??......40 years I've been watching WC's. I know how this ends but yet I still dare to dream that this could be the time.
