Sweden come to life after going a goal down. Good game now.
Group E: Rep Ireland vs Sweden - KO 5pm, BBC1/HD
8 of 10
For all their reputation as being Stoke in green (and they have been dour at times in recent years, especially under Trappatoni) Ireland have played some nice, tidy football at times here.

Stoke play good football now
It's WBA who are the most dour

Well, they must have plenty of energy left, they did sweet FA for the first 50 minutes.

Yes, play is too open and frantic
According to the Beeb, Sweden have yet to have a shot on target (7 attempts)..
Come to think of it that must be rubbish as Randolph made a terrific save.

I think it was from a cross rather than a shot though?

Came from a miscued Irish clearance so would have been an OG

No, that would not matter. Just checked out the live text on BBC and they make no reference at all to this - they only mention the attempted shot following the save, the save itself did not happen according to the BBC (I thought it was from a header, by the way)
Swedes not quite stroking the ball around in midfield as freely as they were ten minutes ago.
Oh, own goal...
Oh, own goal...
