England have a history of having a problem with Sweden. Only won one competitive game since 1968. 9 wins for England vs 7 for Sweden since the two started facing off. So I guess they want to paint us up as a boogey man team.
But I think the main thing that the media is playing at is that we have developed a bit of a giant slayer moniker throughout this campaign. We don't have the same individual talent that England have (and should not be expected to, the infrastructure and budget for football in our two countries cannot be compared). But we are tactically astute and go into every game with a plan that we try to pull off.
But the edge is obviously with England and as much as I want Sweden to win I give England a 95% chance of winning.
