We always draw against Sweden. I thought every-one knew that

 

we're going to break with tradition this time

 

England win. We need to and provided they play Ibrahimovic we'll be ok (they have a better record when he doesn't play!)

 

Impressed enough after yesterday to predict a win. If Lescott and Terry contain Ibrahimovic, which I think they can, we should be OK.

 

If Ísland can lose to France 2:3 and Sweden also by 2:3 and England managed 1:! with France then the result for England - Sweden will be 1:1 also.

 

You lot make me laugh, 10 votes for an England win. FFS, do any of you know about football or do you all support Leeds?

 

no i don't how dare you accuse me of support that awful rugby team that is managed by Neil warnock

 

also england will win

 

and watford own.

 

I accidently voted for Sweden to win

 

1-0 England win which I've put into my Sky super 6

 

I think it will be an England win, the score will be Sweden 0-2 England with Young and Defoe scoring.

 

Yes, which is how we all know that England are better than Sweden and beat them last time we played.

 

goalless draw

 

I am hoping we can win with a lot of flair, Sweden will not be easy as they are fighting to stay in the competition, but I still think we can do it, hopefully Ukraine will beat France as then we could both go through together with no France.

 

I fancy England to do it - this was always the pivotal game for us in the group

 

Ah welcome my Anglo Spanish friend, bit grouchy are we due to missing the good ole British Ale, relaxing in summer pub gardens and all that stuff, although its been pissing it down here lately obviously I will refrain from comments on the Yorkshire contingent as I am probably out numbered and they will only go and beat me up.

MIGHTY tells me your board is like a graveyard lately, need the old Taverna place for pre season mate

 

I expect England will have more possession against Sweden and hopefully show more intent.Am guessing it will be a close game (as usual) with England just edging it.

Although a draw wouldn't be disasterous, a win would give us a chance of topping the group ( am assuming we
can beat Ukraine).It certainly won't be easy as Sweden know they need to win to keep their hopes alive, but I still fancy England to shade it.

So........ a slightly more adventurous England to win 2-1.

 

Ah, the Taverna! Good idea.
