And so is Sven Goran Eriksson for telling us how Sweden we're going to to hammer us,where is that joker today?
I honestly thought that this was going to be our toughest test so far in the competition,talk of them knocking the Italians out (how poor must they have been? ) and beating or drawing with Germany whichever I don't really care!
England just walked right through them like they weren't even there,in truth it should have been 4 or 5-0 and the Swedes just looked like they were doing their level best to keep the scoreline down!
They looked terrified,had no creativity or guile I've never seen a worse performance by a team in a knockout round at the World Cup Final they really were totally and utterly pathetic!
If this is the best the rest of the World have and going on the dire,drudgefest that was Russia and Croatia later this evening then we will breeze into our first World Cup Final for 52 years since 1966 with consummate ease.
I was actually disappointed at how lacklustre and clueless Sweden were it was like watching Man Utd v Watford,they were an utter shambles and totally embarrassed themselves.
So to sum up,in three words...
It's coming home!
Sweden were an absolute joke...

I wouldn't bet on Croatia being much better in midweek. Was listening to a podcast last week with a Croatian journo, who claimed they tend to wilt under the pressure. Not sure how true this is. What I do know is that their best performance was in a game they were under little pressure in and expected to lose (Argentina). They were also ridiculously good when they beat us (Northern Ireland) in a recent friendly, where again the pressure was obviously off

most of the Croatia team play for Real, Barca Juve, Liverpool Spartak Moscow, teams who players have pressure week in week out, I am sure they won’t wilt!

They shouldn't. But tbh they did wilt against Russia and Denmark, both teams whom they on paper are vastly superior too. But not against Argentina, whom they were under no pressure to beat

I really think it will be a cracking game between England and Croatia, Ctoatis big players will step up and I think England will mature immensely for this game.

In your Man United v Watford analogy, which one was Sweden?
