Right that's all from me. Thanks for joining me this afternoon.
Sweden 1-0 South Korea
Sweden's victory over South Korea is captured in all it's glory in our match report here.
And if you fancy a final stab at our Player Rater it's still going strong.
You can also follow the build-up to Belgium v Panama, the first game in England's group with my colleague Saj Chowdhury here.

If you ever want to see coolness personified - this is worth a watch.

This was something else!

Time to recap the action before I leave you.
Sweden 1-0 South Korea
Interesting point from Henry Winter of the Times but not sure I necessarily agree.

Sweden 1-0 South Korea
The Sweden players are enjoying their moment in the sun. Literally. The celebrations in front of their supports are in full swing at the moment. It's 60 years since they last won their opening game in the World Cup.

Sweden 1-0 South Korea
Stephen Warnock
Ex-Liverpool defender on BBC Radio 5 Live
Sweden looked the better team, created better chances. South Korea turned up in the last four minutes.
I am disappointed in them, they've got game winners on the pitch. But I'm excited to see how Sweden do in the group with Germany and Mexico.

It's a free header for Hwang, it looks so easy but he gets it completely wrong. He didn't have to break stride, under no challenge he should score.
Sweden 1-0 South Korea
What. A. Miss.
South Korea go direct and Lee Jae-sung flicks the ball into the path of Hwang Hee-chan but the RB Salzburg forward, who is unmarked, eight-yards out, heads agonisingly wide.
Sweden 1-0 South Korea
Son Heung-min has to do better with that. He gets away down the left, and has time and space, but picks out the first man, a Swedish defender, with his cross. Unforgivable in the circumstances.
Sweden 1-0 South Korea
South Korea have around three minutes plus added time to salvage something here.
Sweden 1-0 South Korea
Just worth mentioning that Hull City's evergreen Sebastian Larsson has trotted off the pitch to be replaced by Seattle Sounders midfielder Gustav Svensson.
Sweden 1-0 South Korea
South Korea have to go for it now and Lee Seung-woo unloads from 20-yards. But Andreas Granqvist's in the way.
He's like a granite Swedish boulder back there at the moment, blocking and heading everything to safety.
Sweden 1-0 South Korea
Almost a whiff of goal for South Korea from Son Heung-min's intelligent header but the Swedes quickly shuffle the ball to safety.
Hwang Hee-chan was steadying himself to strike at goal there.
Sweden 1-0 South Korea
Off goes Ola Toivonen as Isaac Thelin enters the fray for Sweden. Straight swap one forward for another.
Sweden 1-0 South Korea
And one for the South Koreans. Lee Seung-Woo now on for Augsburg midfielder Koo Ja-Cheol.
Sweden 1-0 South Korea
Change for the yellows. Genoa on for Hamburg as Oscar Hiljemark replaces Albin Ekdal.
Sweden 1-0 South Korea
Sweden's Viktor Claesson has possibly just had one of the worst efforts of the World Cup.
The ball sits up beautifully on the right side of the Suoth Korea box but his volley goes out for a throw-in about 12 yards up from the corner flag.
What was that? Shocking is what it was!
