Review of Group B's action

It was going to be a split-vote between England and Sweden right from the start. Both teams had equally strong team members and both teams has a Swedish coach. Trinidad and Tobago (Trinidad) and Paraguay never stood a chance anyway.

The results of the group's games:

England 1 - 0 Paraguay
Trinidad 0 - 0 Sweden
England 2 - 0 Trinidad
Sweden 1 - 0 Paraguay
England 2 - 2 Sweden
Trinidad 2 - 0 Paraguay

In the end, it was the Trinidad game that killed Sweden's hopes and resulted in them taking up second position behind England. The Sweden, England game drew 2 - 2 and delivered on of the best goals of the soccer world cup. England will now take on Equador on Sunday June 25 and Sweden will play the hosts, Germany on Saturday June 24.
