The big question - were England fortunate not to lose?

Sweden deserved at least a draw for a good second half when England were really on the back foot. I wouldn't say the crowd here were happy with the result but it wasn't too bad, a draw was acceptable. We were full to the brim, maximum capacity, 570 people. A few of them were Swedes, most were English. At least England didn't lose. The worst scenario for us was England losing. We want them to go as far as possible so people will come to watch.

Well, there was a penalty that Sweden didn't get, and Larsson missed a chance that he'd normally take. He had a disappointing game and there were a lot of people – Celtic fans and Sweden supporters with Scottish accents, that is – hoping he'd do well. Personally, I didn't really care what the result was. I know quite a few Scots who would support England but the TV commentary is so partisan – all that horrific 1966 nostalgia – it just puts them off.

When you go 1-0 up then you can start thinking about making them run around a bit, but we seemed to let them back into the game. It was disappointing, but at the end of the day we were wishing for the whistle to come because they looked the strongest side. We just allowed them to get comfortable in the game by giving away possession But we're not renowned for starting World Cups off too well are we? We should take a little bit from that.
