Your support makes all the difference.Sweden manager Janne Andersson has tipped England to win the World Cup after watching his side lose 2-0 in Saturday’s World Cup quarter-final.
After a slightly nervous start in Samara England took the lead against Sweden when Harry Maguire headed home Ashley Young’s corner-kick.
Dele Alli then doubled England’s advantage, while Jordan Pickford made a series of superb saves as the Three Lions reached their first World Cup semi-final since 1990.
And after the match, Sweden coach Andersson said he believes England have what it takes to go on and win the tournament.
“Yes, I definitely believe England are good enough to win it,” he said.
“They are forceful, well-organised. I'd like to pay tribute to the team and coach.
“They are a good footballing side. I think they would be perfectly able to go all the way.”
