Netherlands v Sweden 20.06

Netherlands v Sweden (Kick-off 6.00pm). Mark Chapman presents coverage of the Group F match at Houston Stadium in the USA. The Dutch secured their place at this World Cup by finishing top of their qualifying group ahead of Poland, Finland, Malta and Lithuania, winning six of their eight matches and drawing the other two, and scoring 27 goals in the process while conceding just four. However, they had a minor setback in their opener when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Japan. Sweden had to work much harder to qualify, eventually getting through via the play-offs, but they got off to an excellent start in these finals with an emphatic 5-1 victory over Tunisia. With analysis from Thomas Frank, Micah Richards and Ellen White
