Brilliant result for us. Completely outplayed the Swedes for long periods.
Like Devon, I too am unsure about Pickford. He does worry me with his shot saving. He always seems to push the ball back into the danger areas. Subosic is a better keeper, so I hope we don't go to penalties.
Kane was very ordinary on Saturday, but I put that down to the fact he ran his socks off for 120 mins v Colombia. He'll be ok for Wed.
Maguire was excellent again....liking him more and more as an International defender. The boy just looks more hungry than anyone else when he's trying to get to headers.
Sterling was excellent, but just couldn't get a goal. He just needs one to raise his game to another level in this tournament.
All the rest of the defenders were excellent. Thought Henderson was actually very good. He looked the real leader on Saturday as Kane was too tired.
Lingard and Alli were good too.
Overall a great win and now onto Croatia. Both their last two games went to extra time and pens. Are they going to be too tired? I hope so, but they will have long spells of possession to conserve their energy. Quite a close call, but I fancy England to nick it in normal time.
