Sweden date for England

England will get yet another chance to end their 43-year wait for a win against Sweden at Wembley next month. The Scandinavians, who qualified for UEFA EURO 2012 as best runners-up following Tuesday's victory over the Netherlands, will be England's second opponents of an international doubleheader, with the match arranged for 15 November, three days after Fabio Capello's men take on world champions Spain. It is one of the more remarkable statistics in England's international history that in 12 meetings since they recorded a 3-1 triumph at Wembley in 1968, when Sir Bobby Charlton, Martin Peters and Roger Hunt all scored, the Three Lions have failed to secure a single victory against Sweden. Eight of those games, including the last meeting, in Cologne during the 2006 FIFA World Cup™, have ended in draws, with England losing on the other four occasions, all of which have been in Stockholm.
