    For all people complain about teams who stick 10 men behind the ball, there's nothing more boring, frustrating or defensive in football than teams who have 80% possession but just aimlessly pass it side to side and don't even try and risky balls or crosses.

    Really hope Sweden beat this boring, defensive anti-football of Spain.

    Spain are the ultimate ' Plan A ' merchants , they've got nothing else in their locker , even our Fergie's got half a ' Plan B ' .

    20 mins for something to happen .

    Don't Leicester do that with 10 men & counter attack with Vardy's pace ?

    Sweden are 10/1 to win on skybet, I had to double check I hadn't missed a red card!

    Under Claude Puel we did and our fans all hated it. It was like watching paint dry.

    Under Rodgers we have at least players who can dribble and play some forward risky passes and crosses.

    Apart from Alba Spain don't look like creating a goal..

    (Which means they probably will!)

    Incredible how Hodgson's influence on Swedish football has lasted 4 decades without anyone wavering from his blueprint. Incredible stuff. Need to know what the man did out there.

    Slovakia won't fear either of these.

    EDIT: Good chance to Spain though.

    Follow my lead and don't give a f**k.

    Great to see Spain fail miserably to hit the net despite all the possession. Well fought point by the Swedes.

    Decent watch that despite the lack of goals. Pedri motm shone in that midfield full of experienced pros.

    How has that ended 0-0?! So many chances.

    Credit Sweden for their robustness and effort, and created chances of their own.

    Spain need a centre forward.

    Danny Murphy is bloody irritating.
