I think they will have to focus on set pieces perhaps, Sweden very organised and tight, they'll probably look to do the same.

Alli is in the team on the back of Kane in the hope that their Spurs partnership will be replicated in the national team. I doubt that and would play Vardy instead, although making sure that he saw more of the ball than in his previous outings. He looked pretty sharp to me when he got the ball yesterday.

Predictions for today.
France and Uruguay to go to penalties with France winning.
Brazil v Belgium 2-1, though would like Belgium to win, do I hope I'm wrong.
Much as I wouldn't want it to happen, as I'm not a big fan of Uruguay, I think they could beat France, possibly after extra time. It'll be tight. However, I fully expect Brazil to beat Belgium, in a game that should have a few goals:)

Frenchies are doing well.
Don't mind them winning this a Uruguay are a boring side to watch.
Yeah, glad I was wrong about this match. Beforehand, I just felt that Uruguay could snuff out France, with their dour style of play, then hit them on the break, or score via some form of set play, and sucker-punch them.
However, it wasn't to be and France showed their resilience and class to get the game won and progress through to the semi-finals, where I expect England to join them tomorrow night. I've being saying all along that France would be there or thereabouts, and I'll stick by that, especially they're now showing that hardened 'tournament mentality'.
Looking forward to watching Brazil vs. Belgium, which I think should be a cracker! :cool:

Belgium will have to work hard from the start. They won't like that.
Sensational strike from De Bruyne! It'll be good to see if Brazil can pull this back - hopefully we will see some great football.
Indeed, we're in for a real thriller now! Knew there'd be goals in this one:)
At the moment, Belgium are by far the better side. Unless Brazil seriously up their game, I think they could be in trouble... Plenty of time to go, though.
Marco.
