Sweden v England

I think we suffocated Colombia - got our goal and they didn't have a chance. We decided to hold onto the goal when they started to open up, otherwise we would have had a few more chances, but it is all a judgement call. Sweden are well organised and chances will be at a premium again, but if we can stop them creating them, we should be able to cause a threat through our set pieces. It will be interesting to see how they handle that - Colombia had some big guys in defence but still gave away a pen.4

I’m going to be driving south through Germany when the match is on and won’t be able to catch the action on tv. Any suggestions on a decent quality internet radio stream I can have playing on my phone? Cheers!

All of the games have been on either BBC or talksport, think they were sharing the group games but have both been broadcasting the knockout matches.

Cheers guys! I’ll give your suggestions a try.0

Alli and Sterling go over too easily. Spending most of the time on the ground isn't conducive to productive football. Trippier and Maguire have been revelations, Kane is world class, though he faded the other night. Saturday will be tight , 1-0 or possible extra time and pens again.

It’s a World Cup quarter final and will be shown in all the bars in Germany. Surely you can stop for a couple of hours to catch the game ?flyingkiwiDK said:Cheers guys! I’ll give your suggestions a try.

3-5-2 is a great formation if you have wing backs. Trippier has had a great world cup but Young is limited in he only uses his left leg to stand on.
2 up front is great if one of them is Kane who has scored in 9 games in a row.
Not so great if the other guy is Sterling who had turned missing chances for England into an art form. 3 goals from 43 is poor but I believe it is 23 matches since he scored against Estonia in October 2015.
Over 1000 days, Still if Pep rates him for City then he must be worth his place for England.
Swedens 4-4-2 will become 4-5-1 when England have the ball so for me it about the ability of players than one type of formation being superior to another. I haven't seen the stats but is Kane involved enough in the build up as he is for Spurs ? No complaints with Harry's scoring record for the national side, and the team spirit is good among this young squad, and I do like the astute and crafty statements from GS.
For many of us this may be our last chance to see England get to a semi final in a World Cup.
Not sure i could last another 28 years of under achievement.0 -
The match referee will be Bjorn Kuipers of the Netherlands.
He has so far been in charge of Uruguay v Egypt, Brazil v Costa Rica, Spain v Russia.
France v Uruguay
- Nestor Pitana (Argentina)
- reffed Russia v Saudi, Mexico v Sweden, Croatia v Denmark
Brazil v Belgium
- Mirolad Mazic (Serbia)
- reffed South Korea v Mexico, Senegal v Colombia and the Champions League final
Russia v Croatia
- Sandro Ricci (Brazil)
- reffed Croatia v Nigeria and France v Denmark0 - Sponsored links:

Would get Rose in for Young, as he gives us much better balance and allows us to get out easier down that side.
Young has given us nothing going forward, and seems much more comfortable as a left back, rather than a wing back.
If you look at Sweden's last four goals, they have been aided by two massive deflections, an own goal and a penalty - so it is not as if they are a massive goal threat.
This is the game to be bold, and to take it to them from the off, a fast start and an early goal will change the feel of the game completely.0 -
bit harsh on psycho - He might not be the player he was, but he is 56...JohnBoyUK said:

Thought Kane did really well in the later stages dropping deep to play that midfield role. Kane, Trippier and Maguire have had a great tournament.EveshamAddick said:Alli and Sterling go over too easily. Spending most of the time on the ground isn't conducive to productive football.

I see Delph is back in the squad again. I'm sure he'll play a part in the remainder of the World Cup, when England want to stiffen up the midfield (e.g. to replace Dele or Lingard) , as he offers more on the ball than Dier6

Will we be using the ABBA system if it goes to pens?3
