Still at least my prediction was OK, they did play for a while, a couple of them can even tell their parents they got a kick of the ball

Ireland are Scotland in disguise for this tournament. Thank you for continuing our fine celtic tradition of looking confused when facing proper footballers.

Not only England, it seems. Sweden expect....

I think it will be a funny game. 2-2.

Anyone still awake?

EDIT: Oh, finally, someone on our team woke up!

Hodgson's teams aren't overly concerned with the entertainment value it would seem. Still, it takes two to tango.

True, Sweden haven't exactly been on style either, certainly not to the extent you'd expect after they got a grilling from their manager...

There's another goal in this. I don't know for who.

Told you!

Nice goal too. Turning into a great game. I take back what I said about it being dull.

Oberon · 06-15-12, 03:53 PM

Took them a while to get into form, and still rather scrappy, but it's a victory at least.

Right after Sweden - England match was over, I remembered an article in one of the Swedish tabloid newspaper. A sports journalist had made a statistics of Sweden's football games the past few years. His statistics showed that all the matches that Sweden had lost, Zlatan Ibrahimovic been with the team. Alongside the article was a kind of image of this statistic. Remember that I thought this Zlatan is not a bad football player, so it must be something on the psychological level.

I did not check the stats, so whether it is true or not, I can not say.
Can only say, that Sweden has lost the first two games of this EM and in both matches Zlatan has been a part of the swedish team.

What's he done?

Slagging off the Irish fans for still supporting a team thats rubbish.

Now soccer isn't my thing but I thought people are only considered real fans if their team is crap and they still support it

Can't argue there,
Managed to catch the last bit when I got home and must say gotta hand it to them Irish for having a great time supporting their team no matter what.
Imo the most fun thing to watch during that Match was when the camera showed the Irish fans having a hell of a good time

A victory for England but still not enough to guarantee progression to the knockout stage.

France should beat the Swedes so that means England only need avoid defeat against Ukraine.
