If we win on Saturday I'm going have a drink of beer Is it about 2 in the morning there? Kicks off at 10am here, going to be a long day on the booze one way or the other I am currently in the UK mate. At home it's a midnight KO.

if he picks the same side then i don't see us scoring from open play, sweden are a better drilled team defensively than Columbia and we struggled to break them down, at times we looked like we run out of ideas so just passed it sideways for much of the match, i don't see how we can fix our lack of creativity and penetration in the space of a few days so imo it will be the same again, a draw, probably 0-0 and then penalties.
Sven is right, we might not even score against sweden unless we tweak our approach play, i think Big Sam has the right idea in being more attack minded, sweden don't offer much in the way of counter attacking so we could probably afford to be more adventurous.

We’ll need an early goal. I can see it being a pretty frustrating game, with chances at a premium.

As with the Columbia game.. £200 on a Win within 90mins and then Cash out just in case..thankfully it worked well against Columbia.

Can't see them being so defensively naive and wrestling us to the ground for easy penno's

Speculations now about that extra time and penalties making players tired, before the quarter final. I don' t think so for a second.

Yes, I can imagine them playing 11 against 10 for 80 minutes. Or the opposite. This can of course go either way. Both teams have qualities.

I'm getting nervous already. This is going be just as tough as the Columbia game with how defensively drilled they are. Chances are going to be few and far between so we'll need make them count and try restrict them to as little as possible.
Any one else got a bad feeling?

Getting a bit nervous already. I know we've struggled to score in open play, but I'm hoping for a 2-1 win in the 90 minutes, no ET and NO penalties please !

I actually got a thought this could mirror Euro 96 where we suddenly click and beat Sweden 4-1
Everyone is quite rightly predicting a tight game but predictions are always bloody wrong, just ask Jon ketley

There was a Scotsman, an Irishman and a Welshman in a pub,
There’d normally be an Englishman too, but he’s away at the World Cup.

If Southgate picks the team himself instead of letting his bottom lip do it we might just make it through.
Sterling has the look of a player that will never do eet for England. Would start Rashford. Not sure Vardy offers enough.

If it is a tight game with few chances then, for the first time in probably two decades, we have the best out-and-out striker in football playing for us. I trust Kane to bag any chance he gets.

I'm liking the stories of people who have to get married on Saturday so will miss the game! 😀 My uncle got married on the day of the 66 final ... there are still people who haven't forgiven him. 😁
