Either scrape through 1-0 or it will be pens and I can't call it.
Sweden don't seem to have much going forward, but defensively they are solid.

I'm no good at predicting scores.
So my prediction is that as it's 5pm here and I'm already on my second beer my chances of staying awake till 12 for kick off is 0.

This is a tough one....
Sweden have only conceded 2 goals (both against ze Germans)....
In the last 2 games they have 2 wins and 2 clean sheets (Mexico and Swiss) as where we have conceded 2 and only scored 1 penalty....
I think their 3-0 win over Mexico against our 1-1 with Columbia highlights the challenge here. Interestingly though, in what has now become a European world cup v European teams: Sweden P2 W1 L1 England P1 L1....
I predict a rather cagey affair....

I really don't think there will be many goals. Sweden don't give much away and are capable of creating good chances for themselves at times.
I'm going to go 1-1.

I also think it will be a tight game. I think we lack creativity from midfield which makes life difficult when we play better or well organised sides, we have to hope any chances we do make fall to Kane.
At the other end I don't have much confidence in us keeping a clean sheet so if we win it will perhaps be 2-1?
Hope I'm wrong and we get a couple of early goals and coast to a stress free victory. I can't cope with another penalty shootout.

1 - 0 Blissett.
3 - 1 England, you know it makes sense.

I've just been out drinking with a couple of Russian mates, they are convinced England will win the Tourney. When the Vodka came out I was goneski.
2am kickoff I'm rooted.

Don't have a good feeling about this one due to swedens defensive attributes and past record against us. As this is now an all European World Cup we didn't do very well v Belguims scratch side with our own scratch side and I think Belgium have to be tournament favourites now. Sweden England Russia Croatia are all similar strength sides and you'll not see the fouling which won us so much set piece success against the South American and African nations previously. Start like we did v Tuisia and Panama in the first half and we might have enough early advantage to get through v Sweden.
England Belgium final anyone ??

Sweden to stick 11 in their penalty area for 120 minutes and then win on penalties.
