Hodgson is ready to take a gamble by bringing back Andy Carroll to play up front with Danny Welbeck.

Captain Steven Gerrard is feeling confident, saying,
With all respect to Sweden, who are a good, strong team, they're not France so we can be more bold and ambitious and get at them."

"If we perform to the same level we're confident of victory.

  • Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored in each of Sweden's last four matches.

Not expecting much in the way of scintilating ,fast expansive footall ,most likely a dull sterile affair.Don't think Carrol will shine he just has'nt convinced me since he's left newcastle let alone on a world stage,forgive my negative stand it's just my nature,obviously i hope to be proved wrong.:pointlaugh:

If we defend well and take the chances we get, I can see just pinching it. The amount of Liverpool players Hodgson has picked is starting to make sense. If we don't win it, we definatley have the skill to pinch the cup. :D

Think it may well be a draw unfortunately.

England never do things the easy way.

Anybody else noticed since Roy's been given the job every player sings the national anthem now? It's about time a bit of pride & passion was put back into the shirts.

Carrol looks very eager, he needs to settle down a bit.

It's getting a bit heated now. Hodgson must be furious with them. Nothing he could do, they've all just switched off again.

Breathes a sigh of relief, don't cock it up now England.

Amazing finish by Welbeck, still not sure if he meant it though

Another cracking save from the swedish keeper.

Walcott has made such a difference though. Where has he been all season?

I'd leave Walcott on the bench against Ukraine. He was brilliant though.
