England have created nothing from open play.

Really

It is very worrying.

I mentioned the set piece thing on another thread this morning. However if I was an England fan I would look at this as a positive, unless Sweden get their two biggest guys to mark Kane and Maguire. Not that long ago Kane was taking the corners.

Tournament football as long as you win.......

Well done England but have to agree created nothing against a pretty poor side. That has to be worrying.

We created 1 gilt edged chance when Deli Ali headed it over the bar to put us 2 up ,a shockingly bad header with the goal at his mercy, Sweden are no turnips and i see it as a 50/50 shot as this is the team who kept out the mighty Italy over 2 legs a feat that England would never have accomplished,still it could have been worse it could have been Brazil.

Given the number of penalties being dished out in this tournament, that isn't such a terrible thing.

in our defence it was a very tight pitch tonight... colombia defended very well. hoping that the final matches we get more space and show what we can really do... maybe that was our bad performance?

We don't have any creative midfielders. But when they do create something, look out...............

We are the new Germany grinders panaltys the way forward.

Penaltys

Champion.

Worrying times for skirt wearers.

I agree with DD

YA KNOWS IT TIGER!!!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!



SCOTTISH HEARTS BROKEN BY ENGLAND AGAIN!!!!

AGAIN.............

says it all really that harry kane hasn't had a clear cut in open play in 2 and a half games. could stumble our way to the final i suppose but will have to be miles better

Gareth should end this madness, swallow some pride and phone up Wayne.

Scotland have created nothing for decades. Jog on.

makes you laugh when the likes of Jonathon pearce banging on about the rest of the world leaving the germans behind, Germany created 22 chances against mexico,s best performance in the world cup,compared to brazil having 5 or 6, and the likes of England,croatia,sweeden etc bungling their way through the draw to a possible final place ,imo the world cup is now just a composite version of the ch lg,with 90% of the players on view playing in europe

Germany created 22 chances against mexico,s best performance in the world cup


And they scored how many?

kane has had 5 shots on target and notched 6 goals

That's how good he is!

lingards goal v panama, didnt look like it was from a set piece to me

they might have had 22 attempts at goal but hardly any good chances

Some people don't the difference between a created chance and hitting it from 30 yards out only to have the keeper throw his cap on it.

Honestly wouldn't give a toss if we drew every game 0-0 from now on if we keep getting through

didn't say they were good or bad chances but 22 against mexico in the context of this world cup where pens,set pieces have ruled the roost hardly suggests Germany need to rip up their football blue print as Jonathon pearce suggested, THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS LEFT THEM BEHIND ,AND FOOTBALLS MOVED ON

Well that is Jonathon Pearce.

I think we will create more chances Saturday. Early goal and it should be over.

Sweden came through their group of death...Holland and France. Finished above the Dutch with a  far superior goal difference.

They then beat Italy in a 2 legged play off. They then came through another group of death in Russia. Beat Mexico 3-0 despite having 33% possession. Beat S Korea 1-0.

We're certainly the right side of the draw but a loss to Sweden would not surprise. Still gutted he didn't take Wilshere for something different 30 yards out and Carroll for those desperate last moments that have come and will come again. Fellaini changed it for Belgium.

We have noone on the bench who's different. We are very, very average but we're still in.

I agree with Carroll as when you are going gung ho  in last 10 mins to save a game it is always worth having something different with aerial power.
