Underestimating Sweden / setting ourselves up to fail?

Every time I see interviews over the last couple of days it's Sweden are good, but they aren't France. If we can perform to the same levels as we did against France then we should win.

Sorry, but when have England ever done anything that is expected? Not that I personally expect us to beat Sweden. The last time we beat Sweden was in the 90's.

I don't think Carroll is the answer against the Swedes, pace and skill will have much more success against them than a big target man will.

I think Sweden will be a lot tougher than many are expecting.
