Pity none of the team knew it!
Have a feeling Sweden will trip up here. Not sure why I think that, they should have the quality to overcome the Irish. But I suppose if Zlatan were to have an off game, who knows?
Prediction: 1-1.

That he was in America with Keane but he made sure to bring other coaches with them in case anyone thought they were 'a pair of queers.'
Some Swedish possession followed by a hit and hope cross effortlessly dealt with by Ireland. Sweden unimpressive aside from their height.
