Still not convinced by England, Sweden really only have Ibrahimovic as a star player and England should not have taken two goals.
As crazy exciting as the second half and comeback goals were, I thought England played rather well in the first half. The looked positive and were trying to create. The one thing they could have really used was a technically adept, visionary player in the final third -- which they should have in the final group match. And he'll be well rested and well coiffed.
sweden played nicer football, gtfo i aint scottish, yes i was watching, are you going to say england played nice football? or better football than sweden? if sweden had nicked 2 flukey goals in injury time everyone would be saying how poor england were because thats, exactly what the coms were saying at 2-1, they did well to win but generally look poor, technicaly sweden looked better edit, your name says it all!
Lol I was sure England scored 3 great goals and both Sweden's goals were incredibly scrappy. Nice football indeed. oh well
England scored 3 fantastic goals, had more shots on target, and more possession. Not to mention they should have buried it at the end. Are you related to Stevie Wonder?
I think people are blinded by Englands shitiness (I say this as an england fan) to think even shitter teams are better than they are.
does that translate to england playing the nicer football? no it doesnt, clearly you are one of those guys who watch football with statistics, sweden looked the more quality team, they passed the ball nicely, england did not, you can tell me how many shits gerrard had at half time but it wont change the fact sweden were much easier on the eye! im not saying sweden are great btw, just that i'd rather see sweden go through than a team who play worse football than them
Yes. I knew no matter how shit England can be, Sweden are a shit version of England and play even worse football.
Things are going well for Les Bleus *rubs hands* They get to play Sweden who are already out in the final game and they send a very pissed off Ukraine against England !
And clearly you're blinded by your anti English complex, which incidently is now an official religion. Yes, England played average football but to say Sweden played better football is pure bitter nonsense. England played higher up the pitch than Sweden, they also played with two strikers leading the line and more width with more possession and more control of the game except during the first 10-15 minutes of the second half. At what point does crowding the midfield in your own half equal playing better football?
Every man and his dog loves to see England lose, even in Britain. That's one reason I enjoy supporting England. All the frustation is worth it when they piss people off by winning.
bare in mind thats in relation to englands play, thats how poor the football on display was, even if it was an exciting game in the 2nd half sweden passed the ball around better than england, thats what happened no matter what you think, thats doesn mena sweden were great, also wtf would i be bitter about england? have england won 4 world cups? no they havent, they've won 1 game against a poor swesden team and im supposed to be bitter lol, the majority of england fans are saying england played kick and rush, yet you seam to be portraying that england played sexy soccer as ruud gullit calls it, hahahaha bitter, thats a fcuking great one
Spain have not won 4 World Cups either, how is that relevant? England scored 3 of the best goals in the competition in one game. I don't see any kick and rush there. Sweden played well for 20 minutes. England played better for 70
