England 3-2 Sweden: Game, Set and Match

The experience of watching an English team play football is usually a traumatic one, and this was no exception. On this occasion though, it reminded me of another experience. England's Yes-No-Maybe-Yes win against Sweden had all of the qualities of a Tim Henman match at Wimbledon. Like Tim so often did, England today took the first set, through a flying Andy Carroll header, but after a 15 minute rain delay, or half time, they side came out all dazed and confused to quickly drop sets 2 and 3. Staring down the barrel of defeat, a scrappy fourth set saw England draw level, before a serve-and volley master-class from Danny Welbeck saw them home 3-2. Throw in the actual weather delay during the France / Ukraine game and all this evening was missing was strawberries and cream and some overpriced Pimms!
