England captain Steven Gerrard and Scott Parker have overcome exhaustion and will continue in central midfield.

i don't recall players from any other side suffering exhaustion - the Spanish midfield always look like they could play another 90mins.

Posted on the other thread that I was amazed we have never won a competitive match against the Swedes.

bogey team.

the draw should be a popular bet.

[superfrank]

if anyone knows how to beat the Swedes though it's Hodgson.

looking forward to the game, let's hope we finally beat them and score a few goals.

No offence to Sweden but how many of their players would get in England team? If we can't beat them we deserve to go home

[Euler]

Come on England!

[superfrank]

shame we're so outnumbered in fan terms. i used to follow England abroad occasionally years ago and we used to take over the City and stadium. sign of the times i guess.

And the winner of the most passionate England singer of the national anthem is...........
Joe Hart - Top man

great header

[Euler]

It was a good header, right out the textbook.

Fairly even on shots etc at the moment.

And now the match is even too

Typical England! I could have made a fortune over the years if I'd laid England every time they went a goal ahead!

England need to bring on some subs quickly.
