Cruel result: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (right) said Sweden were the better team
'I think we were the better team against England. I really do,' said the AC Milan star.
'We should be proud of ourselves because we played a good game. We showed courage and were much better in dead-ball situations.'
Midfielder Sebastian Larsson agreed. 'We were definitely better than England. Their equaliser (by Theo Walcott) happens one time in a thousand. It was a shot I should have covered but it hit me and deflected past the goalkeeper.'
