[Football] WC QF3 Sweden v England

[OzMike]

Very good, leaving now and I may have to crash at my guitarists place, who lives about twenty paces from the pub !

 

[pasty]

Righto, pub o'clock. TTFN.

COME ON ENGLAND

 

[Simon Morgan]

Expecting a straightforward England win in this one by a decent margin, maybe three or four. Sweden were dreadful against Switzerland, in particular their main man up front Bjarndoor Berg.

Bjarndoor

All I wanted from this tournament was for us to win a knockout match and for the team to make some memories. They've already done both, and, as much of an open goal as this match may seem, I am cautious in my expectations. Currently just enjoying the fact that I am, for the first time in a long time, fully behind the England team. Delighted to be proved wrong by Southgate, who I feared was an abysmal choice of manager. Will be unbelievably happy if they get through today.

England starting lineup unchanged from the Colombia game.

I haven't been this excited for an England game since...lord knows. Probably Brazil 02. Hope this one ends better against a yellow clad team though...

 

[Weststander]

Love it how almost all the BBC, Talkshite and Sky former mens/womens players, got the first 11 wrong.

Intimating Alli's demotion to the bench on fitness grounds, plus Rose to replace Young.

They knew no more than us.

Agreed. Only just started to get into this world cup. Only watched about 3 matches so far

For me, Netherlands 1996.

Due to fear of likely loss, I wasn't excited about Germany 1996 and Brazil 2002.

I heard that since 1986 no team has ever won a quater final by more than 1 goal....until France yesterday.
Are you sure?

Cusp would have been better!!! (must be her welsh heritage)

 

[Weststander]

That's why I've switched channels to F1 qualifying until 3pm.

Bored now also of the BBC praising all things about this Swedish team. Classic 'Corinthian' spirit BBC, devoting so much verbage to the opponents. Other broadcasters and nations would make it footnote, in very patriotic and biased coverage.

No.

There are other examples also. I was either concentrating on the road or radio 5 need to check their facts.
