England knocked out of Championship

2005 UEFA Championship

Group A

Ewood Park, Blackburn

Scoring
Sweden, Sjöström, 3rd. minute

Match report
Sweden scored early and England was never able to regain any real organization in their play after. They relied on speedy front players for this game, but unfortunately they were too fast for their own squad and were often left without real support.
Sweden looked frustrated at times, probably since most officiating decisions went against them. They had had several good chances to score, while controlling their lead. Sweden always looked dangerous and organized , but the under dog England squad played a plucky match creating some chances as they fought hard to stay in this tournament.
