Sterling 8/1 for the next goal.

Could be 80/1 and I'm not lumping. Couldn't hit a barn door at the moment.

Only one getting in the right positions though.

Sterling for me is very akin to Heskey back in the day (I know they play very different roles) but what they both do is create space and draw defenders to them that the attackers around them can exploit. Heskey was always roundly criticised for his finishing as well but by people totally missing the point of him.

Charlton legend on the box now.

1-0 up. Don’t care

Sterling’s causing the Swedes to shit bricks. Take him off now and shatter his confidence whilst strengthening theirs.

Agree about Alli. I'm not quite sure what he's supposed to offer this team.

Not quite grumpyaddick but a bit of realism. We have conceded in every game. We must get a second.

We need other players to be nearer him, if he misses a chance, the ball could easily fall to someone else for a tap in

Sterling playing well today

Would love him to get a goal for his confidence. Misses a lot but gets himself in great positions ando is a nuisance for defenders. If he was a clinical finisher he'd be deadly.

He'll get one.

First time that Sweden have been behind all tournament with the exception of the 95th minute against Germany.

How will they cope with that?

I can’t help but picture the inevitable equaliser as we sit deeper and deeper - I know it’s wrong but I can’t help it

Funny sort of game. Both teams often give the ball away like League One sides do. We deserve the lead because Sweden have been dreadful. Great header by Maguire and Trippier has impressed but not much else to get excited about. Alli looks like he's half asleep. One more goal should seal it unless Sweden improve dramatically.

Many people on Chinese social media were moaning about Sterling wasting chances. So were my parents. Are you all wearing rose tinted glasses?

Maguire is a rock

NapaAddick

That was close!

Callumcafc

Good save Pickford. Expected the Swedes to throw something at us early. Get through this and start to control the game again.

Jessie

Great save by Pickford

blackpool72

Pickford is immense

MrOneLung

Gotta find a way to get the ball to Kane in the danger area.

Chunes

Is it just me or does this ref not like us very much?

Laddick01

Ref making it all about him.

kentaddick

Henderson putting in a scotty Parker circa 03 performance today. Absolute quality.

Dazzler21
