Well, if we could beat Colombia and win a penalty shoot out then I guess that we could beat Sweden! It's obviously going to be tough and the weather looks pretty warm for the game - from now on we only get three days between however many games it is that we have left. So i think that we need to avoid extra time if possible, especially as the top half team gets the extra day before the final and they seem to have deeper squads too in that half of the draw. Of course we might avoid extra time by losing and it's all irrelevant!
Vardy seems to be struggling but it looks as if the rest will be patched up to go in again. Whether Young and Walker are fit enough to start isn't exactly clear yet, so maybe he'll have to make a change or two to the starting line up. I've got no idea what will happen to be honest. Please just win any old how! |  | | |  |

The Swedes are unlikely to enjoy the hot weather any more than we are.
It will be tough, always is against them, but very winnable. |  | | |

If before the tournament you'd have said we'd be in the quarter finals playing Sweden everyone would have grabbed that with both hands.
Although Sweden probably feel the same playing us. |  | | |

For sure - particularly as the winner plays Croatia or Russia.
Telegraph reckons that Rose will play instead of the injured Young - they've been pretty spot on so far. | | | |

He’s playing better, not giving the ball away with low percentage shots and flicks, but he looks like he has zero confidence. He doesn’t have the cold blood of a natural striker. |  | | |

What's the opposite of a Fox In The Box? Headless Chicken In The Box maybe.
Really skilful player, great running with and without the ball, simply can't put the ball past the keeper.
Maybe pulled back deeper in place of Alli with Rashford playing at 10? | | | |

Good last 15 minutes to that half but they have to be right on top of Sweden and hassle them because they have no pace. Really disappointed with Ali. He really hasn't turned up in this tournament. |  |

I have not trusted Pickford at all this world cup. Not one bit. But he has made some superb saves today, fair bloody play to him. | |

Well done England. Whilst it's far from perfect, what i do like is we're starting to look a class above some of the teams, whereas for a while we've appeared to be incapable of retaining any possession at all.
Still think we'd do even better at a higher tempo, and i hate the really dangerous passing triangles in our own bloody area, but we're looking quietly capable.
Sterling is so low on confidence, at least with England. It might cost us. We need him firing and he looks absolutely incapable of scoring. Connor Washingtonesque (well done today Connor). And Henderson isn't good enough imo.
Ps and of course well played 'keeper. [Post edited 7 Jul 2018 17:27]
