IMO, there's a possibility that the change to Lampard/Hargreaves (attacking/holding) will help the fluency; if Rooney/Owen also gel, England could win this 4 or 5 nil, as Sweden aren't a great side. On the other hand, it may not improve things at all, as Lampard has looked poor so far, Hargreaves isn't necessarily good enough, and Rooney/Owen of course aren't really fit (nor is Ashley Cole). In that case, we could have another disjointed performance lacking tempo and fluency. Part of the problem is that players like Beckham and Joe Cole don't play sharp pass-and-move, they're looking for the killer ball or in Cole's case - he's just greedy, IMO. Hence, I think we could win 4-0 or lose 2-1. I'll go for a 2-1 win as a rough midpoint.
