Dont expect too much,i think we might see a few rested and this could be a game where we try a few ideas and blood Theo,theres no real pressure on this game if we stop worrying unnecessarily about the next round.

If england have any hope of winning the world cup, they need to win this convincingly...

I'm hoping for a 2-0 england, although that'll ONLY be worth it if they play like champions

[Joe Letaxi]

Ever the optimist: 2-1 Sweden

[oxford drinker]

without seeing Sven's "selection" I'm going for 2-1 england.

though if Owen Hargreaves plays I fear for England's chances

[v15ben]

Optimistic for a change unlike most of the media:

2-1 England (probably after going 1-0 down though!)

[sb-1]

2-1 England...he should play Lennon & Walcott though.

[The Wiz]

2-1 Sweden ... but I can see the game being as dull as ditchwater.

[mark r skinner]

England sneak it 1-0. I think we would all have settled for winning the group at the start of the tournament. Who was it said a good team can win games even when it`s playing badly?

[killer2005]

2-1 England

[_dobbo_]

Has anyone ever seen Hargreaves play? He must be pretty useful the Germans love him and so does Sven.

If Hargreaves starts, with Owen/Rooney up front, I think we'll see a good England performance. Hargreaves will play brilliantly and we'll win 3-0

Sven should give Walcott a run out as well. What was the point of bringing him if he is scared to play him? If Sven had bought Wright-Phillips or Defoe I'm positive he would have played them by now, and to good effect.

I agree Walcott should be given a run.

One thing I would do if i was sven....

If crouch HAS to play, then have one of the above on with him... to keep the pace & runs at the defence

Just looked up some stats and Hargreaves has nearly 200 appearences for Bayern. They`re the biggest club in germany.......

[gbbird]

A classic 1 - 0 to England

[craggers]

1-0 to England

[thatch]

a 4-0 hammering of the Swedes, banishing 36 years and 11 failed matches to the history books.

2 each for Owen and Rooney.

[Alex]

I don't think the Swedes will score.

3-0 England.
