Basing my opinion on how the team is playing, not on the names in the sheet. That team had so many superstars but never played well, and never felt comfortable on passing. It might be because of the defense, all three CBs are immense on passing under pressure.

Butland and Pope.
So bitter.
It's still lucky though.
Just a slight exaggeration there.
Honestly dont know what the feck the swede are trying to do..they looks like they dont want to attack at all
Euro 2004 probably?
Sweden 4-4-2 geting exposed particularly in midfield where England swamping them.
Might have to go to 4-3-3 and move Forsberg closer to the strikers to get a chance of a goal.

Players really should stop appealing for handballs every time when ball hits opponent above the waist.
It's ok... Germany play this evening to teach us how to play...
Germany has nothing to do with this conclussion as we were 4th.
Can't see Sweden nicking a goal.
Sweden are too slow. They need to change their formation or something to get the ball up the field.
To be fair, he was quite good in the first two games when he came on – got a mention along with RLC if I remember rightly.
It was the unbalanced game against Belgium that did for him. How anyone can tell anything from the service he was getting that game is beyond me. There were only defensive subs against Columbia before he came on for the last 7 mins of ET so that doesn't count – but he was brave enough to put a pen away under pressure and that alone means he deserves a chance IMO.
This game is weird. Lacks fouls, aggressivity and urgency. Feels like a group game
Let us have our moment lol you've had like 50 years of performing well at the World Cup
They never had such a easy route on a major tournament though.
Lindelof dealt with that well.
Holy crap.
We need to push for the 2nd goal and finish the game off as they can always hit us from a set piece.
Were them that good? All I remember is Zidane defeating them, and then losing in pens to Portugal, but don't remember passing being something that important for that team.
This is easily the best England since at least 2002.
Sterling is just so unbelievably shit.
You know it's England's year when they've concured the penalty shootout and have a error-free keeper
Sterling
wrf?
Trippier is class.
Sterling’s finishing
Why take sooo long to flag?
Why take sooo long to flag?
Jesus Christ Sterling
What a shite finish from Sterling
Has to score there
Sterling wouldn't hit a sea from the boat.
Sterling.
well off
Sterling is so useless in the box
Still can't see it.
Sterling is shite
Offside or not. He could not put that in the net.
