There's then a stoppage of play with Theo Walcott down after that run, feeling the back of his calf. It's the Zlatan Show. It has been throughout, but it's been particularly noticeable since the equaliser. Shevchenko getting one over on John Terry? That's the power of TBOF. Cole shot viciously from long range eight minutes before half-time, but the ball was too close to Hedman, who comfortably saved.

The move breaks down and instantly Sweden break through Ibrahimovic. 43 min: It's worth noting that in both 2002 and 2006, England led Sweden 1-0 at half time, but ended up drawing both times. "However, I reckon the highest number of passes England have managed without a Swedish player touching the ball is 6 (six). Welbeck deftly finds Carroll on the halfway line with a clever flick and the Liverpool striker spins expertly away from Mellberg, who hauls him to the floor. - but Mr Hodgson has thrown caution to the wind, bringing in Andy Carroll for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as predicted.

On the left, Elmander sprays a pass across the edge of the area to Ibrahimovic, who takes a touch to get the ball out of his feet and then ram an awesome shot towards the far corner, bringing a cracking save out of Hart, who punches the corner away. But Isaksson is behind it all the way, flying to his right to parry the shot away.

A fine response from England after a disastrous opening to the second half. Sorry, that tackle by Moore was of course on Jairzinho, not Pele.

90 min: Finally Oxlade-Chamberlain does come on and the potential matchwinner, Danny Welbeck, is off.

Sweden 0-1 England (Carroll, 23 min): Roy Hodgson will allow himself a quiet smile, because his plan has worked to perfection. I'd dearly live to be wrong, but fear that I'm not..." It's true, Spain will not be terrified by this display, but you have to admire this England performance. That's something you can't ignore!" The first member of this nightmare lineup still playing for England today.

We don’t have any injuries or problems and the players who did well against France are all hoping to play again on Friday.”. Admittedly it was his fault that the chance came about in the first place, as he was caught out by a glorious pass inside him from Kallstrom to release Elm, but before the Sweden midfielder could shoot and surely score, Johnson slid in to concede a throw. Subs Not Used: Sinclair, Fowler, Brown, Martyn, Bridge, Keown, Er, hello? "He had a few problems in the hairstyle department, mind, but what German doesn't?". 46 min: Off we go again. "I managed to endure 45 seconds of Moyles and Dave before tearing my own ears off," says Vincent van Gogh Matt Royal. Cameron? And it's Sweden who do.

"Now then Jacob, I'm plugging away on this one," says Adrian Neville.

What a substitution from Roy Hodgson!

Bye. It's all over and you're not going to believe this: England have beaten Sweden in a competitive game of football. GOAL! Tarık Ongun (Turkey) England largely restricted France to optimistic long-range shots, which did admittedly catch them out for the equaliser, but mostly Joe Hart had very little to do.

Terry looked so cumbersome there, but fortunately for England, he stood up to Ibrahimovic well and easily blocked the pass.
