VIDEO: Owen Hargreaves pre Sweden
The Bayern Munich man is ready for action as England prepare for their final group game against Sweden.
England utility man Owen Hargreaves expects Tuesday's game with Sweden to be more open than The Three Lions' previous two outings so far this tournament.

Sven's men have qualified for the last-16 after narrow wins over Paraguay and Trinidad & Tobago, but Hargreaves has predicted Sweden will be a different proposition.

England have not beaten the Scandinavian side since 1968 and Hargreaves, who could get a midfield berth, reckons Tuesday will finally see an end to that unwanted record.

"The Sweden game will be a more open game," said the Bayern Munich midfielder, before adding that his teammates are only concerned with their own performance.

"We've got the results we've wanted, but I'm sure we can play better. When we start playing, we don't need to look at anyone other team," he said.

Should he get a run-out, Hargreaves is confident he will perform well. "When I have been given opportunities, I like to think I've taken them," he said.
