    World Cup 2018: Harry Kane puts England ahead from penalty spot

    Harry Kane has scored with all six of his shots on target for England at the World Cup, including three penalties – the last player to score three at a World Cup tournament was Bulgaria’s Hristo Stoichkov in 1994.

    Sweden have always had organisation and they build from the back, but the manager seems to have instilled a confidence in this team.

    We have seen some of those players in the Premier League and they look OK, but when they put a Sweden shirt on, they become different players.

    This is about players stepping up and grasping that opportunity. They can put themselves in history with Pele and Diego Maradona. One moment of a World Cup can last a lifetime. There are no negative vibes in this group.

    Enjoy it, embrace it and bring it home.

    The big talking point at Wimbledon... where will Sir Bobby Charlton be at 3pm?

    Well, it's the big talking point in the BBC Sport office here on Centre Court.

    At 2:10pm, he is still sat in the Royal Box, intently watching a king.

    That's Rafael Nadal, the King of Clay, on his less favoured surface. The second seed is already set up if you're interested, follow here.

    Despite not qualifying for the last two tournaments, Sweden have a proud and enviable World Cup record. Runners-up on home soil in 1958, they have also finished third on two occasions – most recently in 1994, with a team boasting the likes of Thomas Brolin and Martin Dahlin – and recorded a fourth-place finish.

    However, they have won only two World Cup finals games since 1994, failing to qualify three times.

    The thing that impressed me most about England against Colombia was the way they stood up to the provocation they faced.

    But Gareth Southgate's side also did well to respond after conceding an equaliser so late, and obviously recovering from that.

    The way the draw has opened up for England is a massive carrot for them, and I think they will continue their progress.

    Sweden's strength is their organisation at the back, but England have got the players to open them up, especially out wide, and I can see them getting some joy when they come forward.

    Lawro's prediction: 0-2

    They deserve to be in this special moment. This is the game. This is what makes a real World Cup – if England beat Sweden today they have every chance of winning this World Cup.

    Sweden knocked out big names so you can't underestimate them.

    What a time to be in this England squad. It's a career-defining, life-changing day for the players and the manager.

    If you're at home watching the game or in the pub with your mates - shout, scream and cheer.

    I played in the quarter-finals at Euro 96 and we heard you. This team can hear you - no doubt about it.

    The scarf sellers outside were wondering if anyone would be here.

    There are plenty at the Deva Stadium but thoughts of Russia are prevalent.

    Sweden looking very relaxed as they take a walk on the pitch at this vast, sweeping arena in Samara. The message from the Swedish media is that this is a very humble squad comfortable with itself and even more united and assertive since Zlatan Ibrahimovic, their great talisman and leader, left the international scene.

    England are unchanged from the side who beat Colombia - Ashley Young and Kyle Walker both overcame minor problems which weren't expected to keep them out anyway.

    Sweden make two changes - both of which were expected. Right-back Mikael Lustig is suspended so Emil Krafth replaces him. And Sebastian Larsson is back from a ban so he takes the place of Gustav Svensson.
