17m - 1 shot apiece. Still scrappy.

[shunwick]

Young needs to learn how to cross a ball.

Andy Carroll Sweden 0 England 1


23 minutes.

Might settle the game down a bit.

Keeping up historical record England scores first and then cannot win it.

[shunwick]

Sweden have come to life.

[shunwick]

30 minutes gone. Sweden 0 England 1.

[shunwick]

Ibrahimovic still dangerous. Still a bit predictable. Both sides same formation.

Ibrahimovic currently playing dead.

[shunwick]

Young hits the side netting. First touch let him down. Should have done better.

[shunwick]

Good effort from Kallstrom. England sloppy.

Young fouls Larsen...

[shunwick]

Swedish fans gone a little quiet.

[shunwick]

Clever play by the Swedes but broken up.

Not a great game though. More functional than entertaining.

[shunwick]

40 minutes gone. Swedish fans giving the English team the bird.

England can't make their mind what they want to do. Giving away the ball too easily.

Milner can't cross the ball either.

[shunwick]

Engalnd need another goal and Sweden need to equalize. Close to half-time.

[shunwick]

Young wins a corner.

[shunwick]

Sweden deal with it comfortably.

[shunwick]

Half time score Sweden 0 England 1. Stays like this and Sweden are O U T ......

The need to put more pressure on England in the second half. But that might give England chances for the counter attack.

Nothing hugely impressive from either side. England sloppy. Sweden not doing enough.

RANT TIME [:@]

Why are the French wearing all blue? Where's the white shorts and red sock malarchy? Why are England wearing all white with red, yes red trim? And what is that hideous blue excuse for an away kit? A few years ago the Italians mucked around with their shade of blue [&:]

I hate it when people change things like this. The Germans have more class - white shirts, black shorts and White socks no messing - it's tradition.

Right, open post to the FA and the French equivalent - show some respect for tradition, have some class and wear your proper kit or I'm going to get soojan to start hitting people....okay?

Wait to you see the Swedish kit. Then you can really rant about lack of respect.

What is wrong with the kit Ormster - yellow - blue - yellow. Is it the shade, the style or what?

And they are off again...

Why? Oh well, don't tell me you didn't know this one (aren't you a football fan? [&:]). They use new outfits to make sure they sell t-shirts every single year... New year = new outfit = more sales... That's what clubs do [;)]

And rite, I'm with you. The French should be using their bleu-blanc-rouge thing.

[shunwick]

England defending deep. Might be thinking about defending their penalty area for the rest of the half.
