Originally posted by stockenI doubt it, a draw is enough for both sides. Both sides would rather get Equador than Germany in the next round, Sweden need to win to do that but they can't afford to lose as if Trinidad beat Paraguay and make up enough goal difference then they're out. Erikson's putting out a side designed to avoid suspensions (no Gerrard) and give his strikers match time. Neither side is going to want to risk injuries. So a fairly tedious 0-0 draw is the most likely result.
And good luck to England. 🙂
I'm sure it'll be an exciting and fun game no matter the winner.
Originally posted by stockenDon't despair, history has a tendency of being important to the England team, so they may psyche themselves thinking about the 1993 World Cup qualifier and end up losing.
You're probably right. 🙁 Thanks for ruining my anticipation.

I'm still gonna hope for an exciting game. 😏

..when you consider that england have not beaten sweden in my lifetime and i am nearly 40, a little presumptious i feel. While as an englishman i will be disappointed if we do not beat sweden i will not be too surprised either

Very tight match tonight for me. I don't think Beckham and Carragher will work well together, as Beckham really needs somebody like Neville bombing up the wing longside him. Carragher can't do that.

rooney back, think he might do it for england 2-0.
