Honest question here, how much of that was England being good and how much was it just Sweden being really poor.

Did they make us look better than we are or did we make them look worse than they are?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sweden had spent about 1 minute b4 today as a losing side. So they obviously deserved to be in the qf. But they didnt look up to much other than a couple of good counters.

. Have England even gone behind in this tournament?

We lost against Belgium.



----------------------------------------------------------------------
Didn't go behind though

Hardly surprising England controlled that. Sweden are a team of defensive plodders. They've averaged 30th out of the 32 World Cup teams in possession, ahead of only Iceland and Iran. They were always going to concede possession and territory to England.
England did well though to stay solid and give little away on the counter or set-pieces which are Sweden's strengths.

England will make the final in my opinion. Will be hard fought against Croatia, but I expect England to progress. Predicting an England-France final.

Dunno if anybody else has seen this but

Half of the England team can't string a sentence together. #class

Very comfortable win. I think Sweden made us look better than we were, they were pretty shocking but still tested our keeper.

Commentary was a bit embarrassing at times.

Where do they dig the commentators out from?

England fully in control of this. Victory never in doubt.

This

Think it will be England vs Belgium in the final. I wonder if Gareth will change the team for the semi-final. Can’t see Henderson coping with potentially the Croatian midfield

I dunno, but listening to some of that I can sort of understand why Scots and others get sick of us when we win. The praise was getting OTT. Keown saying they were doing being world class for doing fairly standard play.

France v Croatia final
