So before the England v Sweden game, the Swedes are a team of world beaters & we have to remind everyone that England has never beaten Sweden in a competitive game.
Fast Forward a couple of hours after England have won, and the story changes to well we should beat them because they are just a very average team.
I love the English media, deluded is an understatement.
As for the game, I think England just about deserved to win, they started quite well & had a couple of decent chances before going 1-0 up.
At the end of the first half & the start of the second Sweden were well on top, and probably deserved to go 2-1 up. But fair play to Roy Hodgson, the substitution changed the game & except for two very good saves by the Swedish keeper from Terry & Gerrard England could have scored a couple more.
As for the rest of the tournament, I'd like to see Spain beat a decent side (Ireland have been the worst team by a long way unfortunately), before crowning them champions again. Will be interesting to see how they do against Croatia as I personally didn't think they were that great against Italy.
Germany look like,well Germany. Organised & Efficient with just enough of a creative spark to win games. And as they are so hard to beat they always have penalties to fall back on. To me, they are going to be the best team in Europe for the next 8-10 years as much of this team is quite young.
