Just down the road from Inverness according to Kenny. Tbf, it might be closer to Sweden than London, and Scotland is having yet another quiet World Cup. To be fair, its two whole decades since they lost a game at a major finals! There aren't many European nations who can claim that. the 'owner' is just waiting to sell it to an English person to use as a holiday home.. He can then drink the money whilst abusing English people until his liver gives out.. If they ever get full independence he wont be able to give it away..

If ever a house deserved egging then that's it. The owner is no doubt Scottish or Welsh Or Swedish even. Is that round here? Judging by the stone work I'd say not. I wish he'd make his mind up he was Colombian on Tuesday! Just another Scot with an inferiority complex

Cant go into this one under estimating Sweden, they have been brilliant so far and it is going to a very difficult game, hoping we can see this one out in normal time and in an ideal world I'd like us to be 2-0 up before the 60/70 minute mark to prevent any further heart attack moments. Worst Swedish team in living memory. Not got a great international record the last last year...7 wins in 19 including beating Belarus and Luxemburg. Qualified via play-off with a 1-0 win over Italy in two legs...they were battered both games....i watched them. No world class players and Granqvist is a donkey. Sweden 2-0

IMO this is much harder than most think, Sven Goran just been on radio saying they have one of best defences in the world.

Uruguay v England in the final! It is the will of God. Just like Town v Reading. The unlikely final

Ireland managed to finish above them in the euros group a few years back. Organised yeah, but I think anything more than that is over the top.

This game has got penalties written all over it.

Going to be a cagey first half, Sweden wont try risk anything, England wont over commit, longer it goes on i see them struggling to hold us out and us getting a goal at the start of the second half, this meaning Sweden now have to come at us leaving their back line wide open to us then going 2-0, full time no penalties needed on we go to play Russia who will beat Croatia 1-0.
However I've not won a decent bet in years so disregard the above.

last 10 games v Sweden...won 2 drawn 5 lost 3...so looks like extra time could be on the cards, so need to pace your drinking to allow for another 30+ minutes of nervous tension maybe ? I was at 8 England v Sweden games before i saw us beat them. I think it was 13 matches from 1968 before we won one! I have a soft spot for them but not tomorrow.

Time for Sterling and Rashford to step up. Their pace running at the Swedes could unlock them. However it's no good these guys taking them on unless we get around them and support in numbers.

Although I think we pose a greater threat with Rashford (by miles), I reckon GS will still go with Sterling, and Rashford might get 10 minutes. Hope it's not 10 minutes chasing the game.

Sterlings due a great game and with their flat back 4 english style defence, Sweden could be the team he carves up, like he so often does for Man City IMO.

It'll be gutting if we go out to this Swedish side given it is filled with very average players. I don't think many would get in our side which tells you the gulf in quality between them and the England 11 who would all walk in to our side
I could accept going out in the semis to Croatia given they've got some very good players but crashing out today would feel like a massive failure

Time to start stepping it up for the semi. We will rattle them quick and win in normal time, they are no world beaters these Swedes.

I still can’t feel anything like the nerves or tension i do for Town. Yes, I want us to win. But even watching the penalties the other night it felt like it would be a shame to lose, not like when Town are involved and it feels like everything is riding on it. Was miles more nervous for Watford at home, Man City/Chelsea away, the play offs etc

Was miles more nervous for Watford at home, Man City/Chelsea away, the play offs etc That's how i normally am for England but it's been different this time. I think having a group of players who clearly all get on and a manager who has boosted their self belief, has really got me back on board. I couldn't have cared less what we did this time last year when everyone was very disillusioned with the whole setup

I’d like us to win, but, from 1990-2010 England games, especially in tournaments, just seemed to mean so much more. Would be genuinely gutted when we went out back then.
