Welbeck and Rooney all day long.

Astonishing that he is not yet in his 30s.

Most of the good challenges he makes need never happen, and his (lack of) awareness of what is around him is astounding. Aye exactly.

Johnson made a couple of good challenges but his positioning was absolutely all over the place at times, as expected.

Can't believe how poor Young has been though. Massively disappointed in him, after the way he's played in qualifying and in friendlies. Really thought he'd be one of our best players this tournament, now he'll be very lucky to start another game. I've always thought of the cunt to be a proper confident and arrogant sort, but he's just shrank and got worse as the games have gone on.

Gerrard influenced the game positively far more than Parker did. I'm all for slating Gerrard's indiscipline most of the time and him stealing that chance from Chamberlain at the end was so typical of his style of play but he took responsibility in the game and played well, keeping most of his passing short, sensible and to teammates. They'll both inevitably get found out completely against Spain or Italy in the quarters though.

Easily our best midfielder in both games. Young and Milner were atrocious today and Parker was just Parker.

Gerrard has been excellent in both games by the way, which I'm happy to admit after slating him pre-tournament. Seems like Roy has managed to get him playing with some discipline in central midfield. He still whacks his passes too much though.

You must have been watching a different game tonight like. There were some truly woeful performances in that Sweden team and a couple in the England team but he certainly wasn't one of them. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/sweden-v-england-player-ratings-7855213.html http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/england-v-sweden-player-ratings-211542719.html He was like. Every time he got the ball he dwelled on it, hogged it, or tried to be too fancy. I can think of four or five occasions in the 2nd half alone where he tried to do it all himself when there were other better placed players. Don't see the fuss personally. Sure your not confusing him with Elmander? because what your describing is exactly what Elmander did on many occasions tonight..... Yes I'm sure Haha. Dave alluded to it earlier in the match thread too. He plays as if he knows / thinks he is considerably better than his teammates and has no intention of passing it to them at times. You could see some of them getting frustrated with him. And Sewelly, why would I want to see him play badly? I'm clearly not the only one who thinks it too. My twitter feed is full of people criticising his performance. He was far more involved and influential on the game than Carroll who is getting praised for chasing shadows for most of the game, along with an admittedly excellent goal. What he did to Terry and then Lescott is what Carroll should be doing to centre halves but hasn't since he wore a black and white shirt. Gerrard and Ibrahimovic were the two best performers on the pitch until Walcott came on and changed the course of the game.

Yes.

Great goal and was lively first 20 minutes, not much there after. Daft free kick for their first goal too.

Same. But there's no way Roy plays 4-3-3. Rooney behind Welbeck.

What a bloody great tournament this has been.

If anything he tried the pass far too often. Mental. Some people will see what they want to see at times I guess.

Unlucky mate. It's a common mispelling by all accounts! (shoe in) and me a teacher Yeah I know mate, done it plenty of times myself. Just you went in with such confidence it was basically a full toss for Dave to smash for 6.

Great header, proper bullet.

He should fuck off back to the diddy league tbh, not even up to the Championshit. Unfortunately Rangers can't exactly take him back.

No way we're not winning this. Sweden are terrible and their only good player is playing on the halfway line. ENGERLAND.
