http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 on Friday night, which sent them packing from the European Championships.
The Three Lions went ahead in the game through Andy Carroll in the first half, but were hit back by a whirlwind Swedish attack during the first fifteen minutes after the restart, as an own goal from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Glen-Johnson-c15050 and a strike from Olof Mellberg put them ahead
on the night. However, an equalizer from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 will be inconsequential in terms of their chances
for qualifying for the quarterfinals.
However the AC Milan goal scoring machine, who also netted a goal in his side’s 2-1 loss against co-hosts http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032, conceded that he was crestfallen to see Sweden crash out of the tournament, despite putting up a valiant show against the Three Lions.
He told the reporters in an interview, “It was a fantastic game. We were down 1-0 but then turned it around and were leading 2-1 but couldn't preserve it.”
“But it's just a shame that we lost. We did not deserve it. I don't have any positive feelings now. It's tragic.”
Before the game, much was talked about the Blue-Yellow’s weakness of dealing with crosses and set-pieces. In their opening game, Ukraine’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andriy-Shevchenko-c6014 headed in a cross from the right flank to level the score at 1-1, and went on to grab the winner
by nodding the ball in from a corner kick.
Ibrahimovic bemoaned the similar nature of the goals conceded by his team in both their games, but nevertheless felt that they were better than Roy Hodgson’s men on the night, and were let down by a moment or two of misfortune.
He added, “I think we can be proud. We did well and were up against a great team. We were better than them. But the difference is that they scored three goals and we only scored two.”
