Its worth noting that the top team in Group A plays the second team in Group B, and vice versa, in the next round.

 

Which means that there could very well be a England vs Germany next round which would be a great match.

Thank you for adding that. I'll be sure to add it to the 'looking forward to tomorrow's games' posts for the next 3 days.

Just woke up and I'm not surprised much with Germany being up 3-0 because they're playing at home. Gotta give the home fans a good show.

From what I've seen, its been as much Ecuador with their foot completely off the gas because they've already qualified, and Germany finding it a little easy to pick them off from time to time.

I am so excited for this England-Sweden game. Not because it's going to be a good game, but because I'm looking forward to the British press whining and complaining afterward.

I'm looking forward to seeing Owen Hargreaves play in his actual position for England for a change, and then maybe people can get off his back for a minute or two.

Its going to be interesting to see how much one player can change this English team, and England wants to beat Sweden almost as much as they enjoy beating Argentina.

 

I expect Lampard to finally breakthrough with a goal today.

 

England wins 3-1

Uh oh, Michael Owen might have just blown out his knee.

Crouch is on. There was, then, absolutely no point in SGE taking Theo Walcott to the World Cup, was there?

[Balsa]

[Jon]

What a header.

[Jon]

Wow. Sweden is this close from being up 3-1.

[goonys evil twin]

nice shot, looked like he took a while to set that up.

[Jon]

Sweden was putting on an impressive amount of pressure the past few minutes.
