Who feels sad after 2 days without World Cup 😂
going for 2-0 England.
I was far more worried about Colombia, they have the style and the aggression to cause an upset and fight for a result - which they very nearly did. Sweeden's style suits ours more, and I think the match will be decided entirely on how England's attack clicks. Get a few set pieces, and we will find a goal. Sweden looked poor overall despite getting past Switzerland, nothing in that game made me particularly worried.

Referee is Scandinavian and called "Bjorn"... shouldn't be biased

I sort of agree- I perhaps rate Sweden a bit more than you do. I think defensively they're good, and they create some good counter attacks but they don't have anyone with the quality to reliably finish for them.
I do think Sweden will let us play however we want to, and if we can sustain some pressure then we should get a goal. I do think in general they can defend set pieces well, but we've some good ideas so we might be able to get something past them, especially if their players start to tire. Their goalie seems pretty good, though.
Sweden looked better against Mexico than Switzerland imo.
I definitely thought Colombia could beat us, but I have more confidence about us beating Sweden- so who knows what that means!

yes john xx
Im Welsh and supporting england.
Haven’t done it since I was 6 20 years ago but I like this English team and as they’re our neighbours (and I’ve lived here for 7 years) then I don’t mind supporting them despite being such big rivals!
Finding a lot of the Irish welsh Scots pretty petulant and jealous if I’m honest when I’ve talked to them about it. Its been a good campaign and everyone’s having a laugh and enjoying themselves about it. Find the it’s coming home videos for example pretty amusing. Not many actually expect england to win the World Cup but it’s great to see a nation enjoying themselves with a team full of youngsters an non egos.
Couldn’t think of anything worse than supporting Colombia in that last game too. A disgrace to football how they played and deservedly out.
