why did sweden field allback? he is a horrible finisher. if i remember correctly he failed miserably at the last world cup.
yesterday he missed a lot of chances again.
sweden have no luck. a disappointing results considering the number of chances they had!!!
It was still a much more entertaining match than the England match, though.
And Shamsul sure did a far better job than the Mexican referee in the England match. I felt that the Mexican was biased against England and seemed to get pleasure out of tormenting Peter Crouch.

The second yellow card leading to the red card that Shamsul dished out was reasonable by any standard. The T&T guy had used a two-footed lunge at the legs of another player. That's a minimum yellow card for sure.
