There was not much time left for England, who was about to face Sweden in the quarter-finals at the home stadium of La Liga Club Sevilla three days after the group stage matches.
Before the match, England's media did not want to hype up the feud between the two teams as much as they did for the match against Germany; they simply mentioned the embarrassing record of 48 years of zero victories in this match-up, hoping that Twain's team could finally end this record.
There was no choice but to end the record. If they do not win, they would be eliminated. No England player hoped to be eliminated by Sweden.
