England drew their last game against France, giving them one point. How will they do this time? Read on to find out...

The game started very well for England, keeping possession and having control of the ball. Sweden were falling behind the pace and found themselves in a dangerous position. Gerrard was with the ball and was preparing for a cross over to Carroll. It was a great header from him and it ended up as a 1-0 lead for England. The fans went absolutely wild.

In the second half Sweden had a desperate comeback, scoring a goal in the 49th minute. When I say they, I mean Glen Johnson tried to kick the ball out, it bounced off the post and unfortunately into the net. An own goal, great. Sweden were hungry for more scoring once more from a corner kick. England were down 2-1. Just what we wanted...

Roy Hodgson made a decision to bring Theo Walcott on instead of Milner. He was the man that made a huge difference to the way England played. After a deflect corner, Theo found himself and went for goal. England scored again, Walcott's facial expressions suggested that he had no idea how that ball ended up in the back of the net. The game was equalised and it was all still to play for in Kiev. 12 minutes before the whistle Walcott was with the ball again, he passed it to Danny Welbeck. The ball hit his heel, and yes, it was the winning goal for England; 3-2 being the final score. Sweden were out of the tournament and were going home. We couldn't have done it without Joe Hart, he saved most of the Swedish shots and played a vital role in the squad.
