Now Gareth Southgate's men move east to Samara to play Sweden in a quarter final. Last time England made the quarter finals was Germany 2006 where we lost to Portugal in a, yep, penalty shootout. As for Sweden, last time they reached a World Cup quarter final was in USA 1994 when the Scandinavian team finished third in the competition. What is England's record vs Sweden in the World Cup? England have never lost to Sweden in the World Cup, all their matches have ended in draws: 2002 - 1-1 2006 - 2-2 The two teams were also in the same qualifying group for Italia 90. Both games finished 0-0. When did England and Sweden last play each other? The last time Sweden faced England was a friendly in 2012 in Stockholm. Sweden won 4-2 and Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored all four for the Swedes, including that ridiculous overhead kick. Back then Roy Hodgson was coach and only Gary Cahill, Ashley Young, Raheem Sterling and Danny Welbeck were the only current squad members which featured. When is the quarter final?

Play slideshow Getty Images 1 of 11 GK – Jordan Pickford England 1, Sweden 2 1992 Euros, group stage England looked on course to top the group when David Platt gave them an early lead against the tournament hosts. But it all went wrong in the second half when Jan Erikson equalised before Thomas Brolin – later to join Leeds – scored a fine winner. England went out and Graham Taylor faced a barrage of criticism, not least for his decision to substitute Gary Lineker in what proved to be his final international, leaving him one short of equalling Sir Bobby Chalrton’s 49-goal England record. Sol Campbell headed England in front from a David Beckham corner England 1, Sweden 1 2002 World Cup, group stage England kicked off their World Cup campaign in Japan with an uninspiring draw. Sol Campbell headed England in front from a David Beckham corner but Niclas Alexanderson levelled things up just before the hour. Sweden won the group leaving England in the tougher half of the draw – they lost to eventual winners Brazil in the last eight. Henrik Larsson celebrates scoring a goal England 2, Sweden 2 2006 World Cup, group stage England went into their final group game knowing a draw would be enough to avoid Germany in the last 16 but were seconds away from victory when Henrik Larsson punished sloppy defending to equalise in added time. Joe Cole had put England ahead with an outrageous dipping volley from 35 yards. Marcus Allback equalised early in the second half before Steve Gerrard headed England back in front, only for Larsson to pounce. The game was marred by Michael Owen’s serious knee injury.

But while the Three Lions have finally beaten their penalty shoot-out curse, a look at the history books doesn't make the next match look very good. England have only beaten Sweden twice since 1968, and the most recent result was a 4-2 thumping in 2012. Looking only at World Cups, both of the two games that the sides have met have ended in draws. Here's all of England's results against Sweden since Harry Kane was born in 1993, and it's not great news... Sweden 4-2 England Friendly, 2012 England's first defeat under then-manager Roy Hodgson, if you don't count a penalty shoot-out loss to Italy in the Euro quarter finals. It was Stephen Gerrard's 100th cap for England, but even that couldn't inspire the Three Lions. Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted four goals for the Swedes, helped somewhat by a series of costly mistakes by England keeper Joe Hart. Danny Welbeck and England debutant Steven Caulker managed to find the net for the visitors.

Theo Walcott was the Three Lion super sub, coming on at 2-1 down and scoring one and setting up the other. England 1-0 Sweden Friendly, 2011 England's first win against Sweden since 1968, courtesy of a Gareth Barry header. The goal was the 2,000th ever England goal, but there was not much of a crowd to celebrate. The attendance for the friendly - at 48,876 - was the lowest since Wembley was rebuilt. (Image: Getty) Sweden 2-2 England World Cup 2006, group stages Joe Cole and Stephen Gerrard both scored, as England topped their group to set up a last-16 clash with Ecuador. The Three Lions were robbed of a victory in injury time, but the point helped them avoid a draw with Germany. Sweden 1-0 England Friendly, 2004 Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored in the second half to beat Sven-Goran Eriksson's Lions. England had the better of the possession, and Sweden rarely threatened keeper David James before they took the lead. The England side featured a young Everton striker called Wayne Rooney, just months before his performance at Euro 2004 would attract the attention of Manchester United. England 1-1 Sweden World Cup 2002, group stages England kicked off their World Cup campaign with a draw - but an uninspired performance could easily have cost them the point. Sol Campbell put the Three Lions ahead, but a dominant Sweden equalised in the second half and held the momentum. England 1-1 Sweden Friendly, 2001 A David Beckham first-half penalty got England off to a good start at Old Trafford. But a blunder by keeper Nigel Martyn gave Hakan Mild the chance to equalise on the stroke of half time. England 0-0 Sweden Euro 2000 qualifier Paul Scholes was the first England player ever to be sent off at Wembley in this disappointing qualifier. Alan Shearer missed England's best chance at the end of the first half by hitting over, but Sweden were happy to sit back with a draw leaving them top of the group. (Image: Press Association) Sweden 2-1 England Euro 2000 qualifier Alan Shearer sccored in the first minute, getting England's qualifying campaign off to a bright start. But a defensive collapse saw Sweden net twice in the space of two minutes later in the first half. Matters weren't helped when Paul Ince was sent off for a second bookable offence, and England slumped to a loss. England 3-3 Sweden Friendly, 1995 Teddy Sheringham, David Platt and Darren Anderton all scored as England appeared in the friendly Umbro Cup. It was England's first home game away from Wembley, with the match at Leeds' Elland Road attracting 32,000 people.<doc-sep>Sweden’s Emil Forsberg in action with South Korea’s Lee Jae-sung (Picture: REUTERS/Carlos Barria/File Photo) England play Sweden on Saturday, after a tense penalty shootout saw the Three Lions squad narrowly beat Colombia. The game kicks off at 3pm at the Samara Arena, with Kane and the gang will face the Swedish side captained by Andreas Granqvist. Although pundits often said that once we’d passed Colombia we were in for an easier time – and England are the clear favourites at the bookies – history shows that it’ll likely not be the cakewalk expected. Apologies for being the bearer of bad news, but we maybe shouldn’t assume it’s a dead cert just yet. Sweden’s trounced Mexico 3-0 earlier in the tournament (Picture: REUTERS) England have beaten Sweden eight times in history, drawing nine times and losing on seven occasions. That puts the record very marginally in England’s favour but it is far more level than many would expect. The head-to-head record actually flatters England as six of those eight victories came in the first nine meetings between the sides. The record between the two teams since 1970 is much more in Sweden’s favour. The England lads celebrating Tuesday’s win against Colombia (Photo by Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images) Dating back to the friendly meeting in June 1979, the teams have played 15 times with England winning just two of them. In that time there have been eight draws and Sweden have come away with five wins, so they have some pretty good memories of facing the English. The two previous World Cup meetings came in 2002 and 2006, both of which ended in a draw. In 2002 the match in Saitama ended 1-1 in the group stages, whilst in 2006 it was a dramatic 2-2 draw in Group B in Cologne which saw Henrik Larsson equalise in the last minute. The sides have twice met at European Championships, with Sweden winning 2-1 in 1992 and England winning 3-2 at Euro 2012. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The most recent meeting between the sides came in November 2012 when Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored all four goals in a 4-2 victory in Stockholm. Zlatan won’t be playing for the side this time around, and Mikhail Lustig is also missing after being booked during their clash against Mexico. That might provide some comfort to those of you downhearted at England’s less-than-perfect record against Sweden, but obviously it’s all about how it pans out on the day.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic enjoyed himself last time Sweden played England (Picture: Getty Images) England face Sweden in the quarter-finals of the World Cup on Saturday afternoon and there is plenty of history between the two sides. It is the third time they will have played each other in the World Cup finals and the 24th meeting between the sides overall. The Three Lions may be seen as the bigger team and they are clear favourites going into Saturday’s match, but their record against the Swedes is not especially impressive. Are Sweden actually the easy draw that some England fans believe they are?
