A thoroughly entertaining start to the action in group D has occured thus far, with Sweden seeming to be far better at dealing with the attacking prowess of Spain than Russia were, and despite going down to a first half Torres goal - bring in a very respectable 1-1 at half-time courtesy of big ‘ol Zlatan. The questions in football are always many, but perhaps the most important of them currently reads like this - can the hardworking Swedes use their passion and workrate to hang on to what could prove to be a very big point, or even go on to win the game.

We’ve noted - thanks to our good pals at the CPI, that the Swedes have been grafting hard - none more so than in the cases of Johan Elmander and our favourite Daniel Andersson. Both covering a formidable amount of ground at half time (6,331 metres each - almost 2,000 more than lazy, lazy Zlatan) - it’s players like this that Sweden need to carve out chances for the prolific Ibrahimovic.

Oh - and just a quick one - take a look at who’s the fastest player on the pitch at the ripe old age of 36. You guessed it. Henrik Henrik, score a goal!
