What Swedish arrogance? I saw Sven say dont underestimate Sweden but hardly arrogance. English fans have been singing its coming home all week planning our route to the final...

He said england think too much of themselves and that sweden should win..other ex players saying england are rubbish

Talking of arrogance..its not coming from england..its coming from those second rate ex sweden players plus mr quarter-final himself erricson.  Hope we hump the jumped up no-marks (and no thats not arrogance)

Maguire does that all the time

Its pathetic..im english through and through plus lancastrian.

Sterling can beat a man but when he plays for england he freezes and plays it simple. At liverpool i thought he was going to be the new john barnes..but he regressed a little until last season

I think saturday sterling will turn up..got a feeling its all going to come into place

Agreed. We have more pace, skill and flair if all are up for it.

This will be a game of attrition and Sweden have players who can and will put the foot in, Berg and Delaney being examples.

It may come down to who wants it most.

Agreed but i think delaney plays for denmark

I would say slightly more in england's favour as we have better players

Lots of very interesting stats in today's  " Guardian " , I'll just quote a few - Shot's outside the area in open play, we're joint last of all the teams with Australia, just one shot ! Alli and Sterling have both had one shot at goal, Lingard has had two. Since France 1998 only two teams out of fourteen that won a penalty shootout have gone on to win their next game. England have scored one goal ( a pen ) in their last four hours of World Cup football.

Food for thought there.

The Swedes are confident - Hakan Mild a former top player has this to say about us " They are spoilt kids who earn a lot of money. They don't have the desperation ( hunger ) needed. It couldn't be a better draw ( for Sweden ). They think they are so good but they are not ".

I would have agreed with that in the past, things may have changed now.

Well we'll see on Saturday afternoon.

Well sweden a poop

I'm just objective. I want us to win but I know what my eyes are telling me. Why fool yourself ? There are better teams out there that are still in it.

Never said there wasnt..france, brazil and belgium are all better..we can more than match uruguay and croatia..just happy to be still in with a chance..we have better players than some would like to give credit for..we havent played to our potential yet

Hey, you can't say that. You need to get with the happy clappers or it'll be the Tower for you matey.

Or the negative nellys who find giving any credit to england too much for them

Voodoos are there to be broken..we have just broken one tonight

Sweden will be a different test but they are hard but fair..no cheating..no rolling around..no surrounding the ref..they are everything these cheating heffers arent..will be a real english cuptie

I’m dreaming to the extent that I think it every team plays to their potential we should get to the final. But in terms of winning I think all 4 teams in the other half of the draw will beat us.

As long as we get to a final..who cares..though i would fancy our chances against uruguay

Leave off Simon.

Southgate's doing a decent job with a very average set of players.

He's actually had them practising penalties - unlike many other much vaunted managers.

Guess what? We got through for the first time. 

Wouldnt call them average..some quality players in there and now with a good mentality

Feels better than winning in normal time..YES!!!!..

Neither have they..they just used their get out if jail free card

Look better this half

Just go home england

We had them on the f/%^n ropes..they lost their heads and instead of going for the kill we let them back into it we defended..we cant defend well enough for 90 mins..southgates tactics has cost us. We have lost this now

England cant play the game because colombia are cheating gits

Its a red effin card..more decisions go against us

Sterling will cost us this game
