So after last nights nerve wracking  game against Columbia and the penalty shootout how are you feeling today. Has the voice gone back, has the head ache gone.?

Hated every minute of the game after Dier came on to be honest! Couldn't watch the penalties, just listened. Can't wait for Saturday though, we're going to stuff 'em!

Totally agree mate ????????

Sweden should be a different game, yet I wonder if they will try to annoy the England players similar to Colombia because it clearly effects how they play. We need to be more dominant in midfield, press them back and just focus on shooting when they can. The amount of times someone yesterday had a chance but decided to run with the ball, yet I think they'll need to slow down the set pieces so the delivery is better.

We have looked good in this department but yesterday it wasn't the case.

This game reminds me of when we were holidaying in France and England played Sweden, I can’t remember whether it was the Euros or World Cup but we were watching in the bar of the campsite there were loads of English and one Swedish chap and his son, Sweden scored and he immediately jumped up to celebrate then looked round at all the English fans and sheepishly sat down again, he got a bit of good natured banter afterwards, can’t remember the final result though.

I’m looking forward to the game but I can’t take what happened last night against Columbia.. I loved spending time with @Chris and @super_pie though. I’m hoping it will be a different ball game not so tense like last night 

It's unlike Notts and England to do well but at the same time it seems surreal to me.

I think England should coast the game against Sweden, they are a good side but just look at how Germany did against them. If you allow them to play they get better, if you cut them off and make it hard they struggle. After winning Colombia on penalties I think the confidence will be sky high and dreams of making the semi may be enough to push them on.

think england need to go for it from the off, they seem to play better when they score early.

a performance level to the tunisia game would be good, panama was just rubbish and they played similar to colombia. i think sweden will try to cause issues by crosses and putting the three man defence on the back foot. it should be a good game!

I think England have a real good chance of making the semi-finals, I know you can't count your chickens but this is the best chance they have of getting further than we have for sometime.

The expectations and pressure will be building, I can see it being difficult for both teams but England needs a solid performance to progress.

I can't watch another penalty shoot out!!

I have a feeling it could go to penalties after finishing 2-2, I can see England leading and then slipping up in the second half.

England look nervous, the passing at times is good but just lacking movement. Step it up lads because Sweden will wait!

Two good chances so far.

The set piece was the perfect corner for England, the goal superb. The players look more confident now, so let's click and get a second.

Sweden looked like a sweet shop running out of stock and deciding it was best to shut up shop.

They wasted some very good chance to get back into the game and Jordan Pickford made three exceptional saves. A part from that, they never looked like trouble and just parked the bus which was disappointing because they should have fought to remain in the World Cup.

Good win for England, the cleansheet will do wonders going into the Croatia game.
