The Three Lions To Eat The Swedes

Roy Hodg­son

Eng­land supremo Roy Hodg­son demands a vic­tory when his play­ers take on the Swedes at the Olympic Sta­dium in Kiev this Friday.The last time the two coun­tries met, was at Wemb­ley Sta­dium in Novem­ber 2011 when the Eng­land side edged out Sweden by 1–0 cour­tesy of a headed goal from Gareth Barry in the 24th minute of the game.

The Three Lions man­aged a highly respect­able 1–1 draw against his­toric enemies France at the 50,000 capa­city Don­bass Arena Sta­dium in Don­etsk on Monday even­ing, while the self-satisfied and over­con­fid­ent Sweden side suffered a humi­li­at­ing and pain­ful 2–1 defeat to co-hosts Ukraine in Kiev. The min­nows of Sweden, who are prob­ably stu­pid enough to believe that they can actu­ally go on to win the 2012 European Cham­pi­on­ships, are no ques­tion the most ove­rhyped and over­rated team in the whole tour­na­ment. Appar­ently, the square headed Swedes never tire of remind­ing the rest of the world how good they are at some­thing. Now for the sake of Man­kind: Please spare all of us this none­sense! Eng­land Squad: Robert Green, Joe Hart, John Ruddy, Leighton Baines, Gary Cahill, Glen John­son, Ash­ley Cole, Phil Jones, Joleon Lescott, John Terry, Gareth Barry, Stew­art Down­ing, Steven Ger­rard, Frank Lam­pard, James Mil­ner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Scott Parker, Theo Wal­cott, Ash­ley Young, Daniel Wel­beck, Jer­main Defoe, Andy Carroll.
