    England XI: Hart, Johnson, Terry, Lescott, Cole, Milner, Gerrard (c), Parker, Young, Welbeck, Carroll.

    Sweden XI: Isaaksson, Grandqvist, Mellberg, J Olsson, M Olsson, Larsson, Svensson, Kallstrom, Elm, Ibrahimovic

    I predict a bore draw.

    England have two up top and Ibra is playing for Sweden and you predict a bore draw:confused:

    I would go with a Swedish win, 2-1, but if England play to win they should really trouble them, starting with Carroll is a negative overall I feel, since he is playing it is vital they get him good service because the Swedes are conceding a lot of headed goals. 6 of the last 9 goals against them I think?

    If England lose the midfield battle they are fcuked.

    will be interesting to see if england will take the game to sweden, i think they wont have the creativity to break sweden down and there will be alot of aimless hoofs from terry,lescott,gerrard up to carroll

    I predict that France will win the group, and that the winner of England v Ukraine will join them.

    Hoping for a draw, more than 9 England corners, 3 yellow cards and an Ibra goal.

    Oh and a good game of football. :pac:

    I expect a better Swedish performance, they should be getting more comfortable with the system and having Elmander back will help Ibra
