England 1 Sweden 0: Rodwell and Jones do Capello proud as Young Lions break 43-year jinx
And Jones must score... Phil Jones poked the ball wide to spurn another gilt-edged opportunity

Against Spain there were times when Jones appeared uncomfortable. This time, however, he was at ease, even making one of his trademark runs from deep only to ruin it by failing to finish. Had he scored, we really would be raving about him.

Yes, the Swedes were poor. Desperately poor. Rarely has an international captain looked less interested than Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his apathy seemed to spread through the ranks. Sweden were as half-hearted as Wembley was half-empty.
