Euro 2012 - England

Don't expect a thriller this afternoon between England and Sweden.

Looking at the Uefa stats, England have the fewest attempts on goal - 1.
Lowest attempts off target - 2 and
The lowest amount of ball possession. They need to go for it otherwise they may end up struggling to get out of the group stages.

One of the TV pundits thought that England were ambitious in the French match

Sweden are usually Englands bogey team although I can see england beating them comfortably 2-0.

Every game has seen at least one goal, now 2 boring sides come together and it will finish 0-0

I hope England f**k it up again to be honest. All this hype about them makes me sick.

hopefully 5-0 sweden but im predicting 1-1 with ibrahimovic and (gasp) carroll scoring

France was a very strong side with a very good chance of winning the competition, thus a surprisingly effective counter attacking tactic was used. Sweden on the other hand are a side that are nowhere near as strong as the French and one that England can pressurise a lot more.

You can't use a teams stats against one of the best sides in the world to dictate what will happen against a team that aren't so intimidating. You adapt tactics to your opponents, afterall.
