Well if it wasn't widely acknowledged as a piss poor league there'd be absolute outrage whenever Robbie doesn't start

Must be joking, all that a lot of posters seem to do is lambast the standard of the MLS....

Even the most optimistic poster would acknowledge that we very well could come away with 0 points from our 2nd and 3rd games. But taking off the green-tinted glasses here as much as i can, i do think overall we are a significantly better side than they are. Most of the previews of the tournament done so far have placed Ireland ahead of Sweden in the group predictions as well.
Of course Sweden's unpredictability factor is Zlatan and he could win them any game on his day, but i genuinely do think that man for man this is a team we should be beating, and i'm fairly confident that we will. Could say 'we are just building ourselves up like 2012 again' but I think this team is in significantly better shape than the 2012 team, and that Croatia side would absolutely decimate this Sweden one. We're a better team than Sweden I think, and i'd back us to show it. Zlatan certainly isn't past it yet but Sweden are a one-man team, with the next best being a couple of decent pros like Wernbloom and Larsson

I think both teams are pretty even. If you consider the qualifying that both countries had, I think both would have performed fairly identical had our respective positions been reversed. I think we would have also finished third in a group with Russia and Austria, and I can't imagine that Sweden would have finished higher than third in our group. There won't be much between us in St. Denis but we're due a lucky bounce in that place after 2004 and 2009. Hopefully that bounce is off Big Johnny Walters arse and into the Swedish net for a 92nd minute winner.
