Bugger - from now until Friday we will only be able to watch two live games a day. I was getting to like the routine of being able to watch three fine internationals in a day. For there have been very few really tedious matches - so far.

If Sweden lose and T&T win - they can still qualify and will have deserved to. However, I do not see any other result for Sweden v England that the draw that is all Sweden need and what England will no doubt willingly settle for. If ever a game had tedious boring draw written all over it from the start - it is this one.

I hope I am wrong and perhaps this will depend on the Germany v Ecuador result, who tops that group and which side of the draw you will be placed. But in all truth (and apart perhaps from home advantage) it does not really matter which team you have to face in the next round - as from now on - you still have to beat whoever it may be. And if England have to beat Germany in order to win the whole thing - it may as well be now.........
