Football was first played in Sweden in the 1870s, the first championship
was decided in 1896 and the Swedish
Football Association was founded
in 1904. Despite being a relatively small country population-wise, both the
men's and women's national teams and the club teams have gained rather large
success from time to time.
The first Swedish national team in 1908.Football,
along with other organized sports, came to Sweden in the 1870s and was mainly
exercised by gymnastics clubs which exercised most of the sports of
the time. England and Scotland were the main sources of inspiration and it is
thus not strange that football gained popularity fast, with the first agreement
of rules made in 1885 by the clubs active in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Visby.
The first international club match was played in 1890 and the first match with
modern rules was played two years later in 1892.

England beat Sweden for the first time in 43 years
and it was the 2,000th goal in their history that sealed a second win
in four days for Fabio Capello’s team. The last victory over the
Scandinavians came in 1968, also at Wembley. After a tentative opening, the
first real chance of the game fell to England in the 18th minute when Walcott
picked up the ball and broke into the Swedish box. England didn’t have to wait
much longer than that before breaking the deadlock.

England look a fair price to win this game but it looks
worth the extra risk of backing them to keep a clean sheet and to win to nil in
order to give the odds a rather significant boost. This was a winning bet in
half of England's qualifiers and with some little doubts over exactly how many
goals England score it looks quite likely that Sweden won't be scoring any
making England to win to nil the best bet in this match.
