England-Sweden...What would you do?

TTinCO · Jun 20, 2006

Sitting on Sweden +200 to win the group.

Sweden needs to beat them to win it, but can advance with a tie (or possibly even a loss).

Given how Sweden has played, I don't see them winning this game. A tie or 1 point England win would be my prediction.

What would you do?

Hasn't England never beaten Sweden before? I think i saw that stat.

Both teams seem pretty equal but England is starting Rooney today and they should get a huge shot of adrenline in their offense.

I don't know if Sweden will win this game outright but I don't know what you can do.

you can get draw at +155 and england+140 right now at oly.

why not play both and guarntee a profit if you dont think sweden can win.

I think Sweden can win this match. Not as confident as I once was but that Ljungberg goal was huge for this team. Not very impressed with England either.

A draw would get both teams into the next round. With a draw, England would win the group and Sweden would get second. They both like to run the prevent offense so I could see a 0-0 final score here.

Yeah, the only probem is the runner-up plays Germany. I think Sweden has a better chance of beating England than they do of beating Germany IN GERMANY.

I have a draw-draw at +300 but if Paraguay is leading in the other game, Swedn might just go for it against England.

SGE is Swedish, so I wonder if his "contacts" have discussed or hinted at a draw being best for everyone.

When you bet Sweden to win the Group, did you expect them to bet England? Nothing really has change except your playing Sweden at +200 verses current number of +290. I would leave it you can't get out of it with positive $$ by betting England and the Draw.

The only thing that has changed is that 1) I haven't been too impressed with their play, 2)the internal bickering doesn't help, and 3) Rooney wasnt' supposed to be back this early I'm not going to hedge it.

Given that, Sweden has owned England recently. Still pondering, but I think I'm just going to let it ride
