Oh, they were trying--it just wasn't working well. That's why Sterling has been able to get freer in behind the Swedes' defense.
It really opened up after that second goal. Pickford made some great stops! Great win for England if it holds.

And England off to the semi finals

Exactly as I foretold :)
Me too! So happy for England! Sweden were playing very well. England made them look worse than anyone else has so far.

Pittsburgh, PA--Enemy territory!
England have certainly had a wonderful ride so far. Made it two games farther than I predicted originally, though I thought they'd win this game. I think Croatia do for them, but England fans should be enjoying this and have optimism.

Pickford is earning some $$$ how good has he been over the last 2 games?

great semi final matchups to come. hoping for England vs. Belgium....would be a great statement for the EPL. city, spurs, united, Chelsea, and Liverpool are/were well represented in this world cup and I think the fierce competition in the EPL helps these players.

France vs Belgium winner will win the world cup. France are coming on strong, but I think it will be Belgium as they are a tad more experienced.

England vs. Croatia? very tough to call. the gap between the two is in the middle of the pitch. Croatia are superior in that regard. kane keeps dropping to connect the attack, but that is taking their best goal scorer out of the box. that is a concern for me vs. Croatia although I hope England win. will have to sleep on that one. England are young, but have the talent in the final third if they can put it all together.
