Well, in my opinion the obvious game will be Paraguay-Sweeden, as they seem to be the consensus pick to have to duke it out for the 2nd spot from this group thatgets into the round of 16. With the England-Sweeden game being played 3rd and possibly not mattering (I think), will any other game be as good (and/or important)?

England vs Trinidad & Tobago will be an interesting one.

ENGLAND v T&T.This would be one of the biggest upsets ever and not out of the realm of possibilities.

England v Sweden could possibly be a game to decide who plays Poland, and who plays Germany - in which case it'd be HUGE.

I think any match in which T&T wins or even draws will be crucial, since the teams all expect this to be a tough group and will desperately need those points in order to advance. And good call on that last Sweeden-England game possibly meaning something, though what scares me is that England would be sitting pretty with six points and not play to win against Sweeden which would give them an edge if Paraguay were to need them to beat Sweeden to move on...:(

I totally disagree with this. 2 different errors IMO. First I think it's wrong to say that the No.1 in this group is given. Secondly, I think Sweden is a stronger team than Paraguay, "duke it out" sounds like the teams are so evenly matched that it's impossible to call. Don't get me wrong, I have respect for Paraguay and I've always claimed that they were hugely underrated when people (especially English media) said "Easy group, Sweden and England advance". There is always a chance of Sweden finishing 3rd, though I think Sweden has an equal chance of winning the group.

I'll be nervous before the Paraguay game but Sweden will pull through and the game to watch for me will be England vs. Sweden to determine the group winner.

Also, if England has 6 points when facing Sweden, trust me, Gerrard & co will be giving 110% in that match. Playing Germany IN Germany or playing Poland ?, I think they rather play Poland.
