    Watching BBC and Shearer has pointed out just how poor in possession we have been (taking two touches when one is needed) and how timid with the ball, checking back and passing back and to the side. It’s not just Henderson as is the popular refrain but just about all the front players. To break down Sweden we’re going to have to be much better with and without the ball.

    So go on England!

    worst thing about the Colombia game was watching the back 3 pass to each other. Then when they passed forwards , the likes of Dele would just pass straight back to them. Pretty much how we played in the Euro's .

    This will be a tough game for England . Sweden will press Englands defenders and I can see them forcing Stones, Walker or Maguire in to a mistake . It could cost them . I think if Sweden score first I think England will loose. If England score first I think they will win comfortably.

    Its a game I think where England could regret not bringing Shelvey or Wilshere. I really think England will need craft and guile to open up Sweden . I don't think England will score from a set piece . Its a game that could go to penalties . I think if Wilshere or Shelvey were out there today, I think England would beat Sweden pretty comfortably .

    Sweden are a team full of championship players . They really shouldn't be in the semi finals of a world cup and I hope they won't be but they do defend really well and are dangerous on the break with Forsenberg.

    Sweden escapes. Alli ought to have done better there.

    There’s nothing to fear here except fear itself. And so far we’re a bundle of nerves.

    England is reverting to some poor habits here. There’s a total lack of basic quality at the moment even with championship level in front of our players.

    And now look— first time we run at them ...

    It's going to take a bit of guile from the front 4 to make a breakthrough. And we haven't seen that in the tournament so far. Looking nervous.
