    Bit disappointed he’s stuck with the same team. Young, Alli and Sterling haven’t impressed for me in this tournament. I would’ve started with Rose, RLC and Rashford

    Nervous. Can’t shake the feeling that this is where the team reverts to type and it all goes tits up. Say it ain’t so Gareth!

    Up at 5am this morning as I had a carnival parade to organise and run. That has taken much of my focus but I'm home now ready for the game. Come on England. You can doooo it!

    Unchanged, right decision from Southgate.

    The BBC can't half do a proper football build up can't they.

    I would still personally prefer Rose at Left Wingback. I think his athleticism, attacking ability, and natural width he provides are aa slight upgrade on Young.

    Beyond that, I think Loftus-Cheek is more effective off the bench. He really needs space to operate in, and if it's not there he can get lost a bit. I think Alli also needs space, but he's just slightly more mature at this point.

    As for Sterling/Rashford, I would stick with Sterling. I think he provides a better foil to Kane. Rashford is another who I think looks much better, and is more effective, coming off the bench against tiring legs. But it's very fine margins. And when in doubt, it's probably best not to change it.

    Blimey, this BBC build up is a real tear jerker.

    Not me of course, that's just a bit of hay fever. Honest.

    Southgate is a class act, a credit to the team, the country, and the game.

    All this anticipation. I fear for those who don't realise it's the hope that kills....!!
  • I am very confident of a good England performance today and a satisfying win

    Sweden are a team greater than the sum of its parts. Always tough. Just ask Curbs.

    Common England.
