Sweden Vs. England, Euro 2012: Theo Walcott’s Screamer Equalizes

Who had Theo Walcott with a screamer from more than 20 yards to equalize for England in their pool? You? Cool, come on up here and get beat down for being a liar*.

* Are your pants on fire?

Of all the players to hit a long range rocket, it was Walcott. A header was only clear as far as Walcott, who took a touch then ripped a heck of a shot to get Englad level with Sweden, 2-2. Andreas Isaaksson did help Walcott out by failing to track the ball through traffic or simply being fooled, but he was dumbfounded and probably will feel as if he should have saved the shot. Still, it was a great goal for the English, who looked down and out, but now are equal with a chance to even get three points.

What is Roy Hodgson's answer for Olof Mellberg, who has both goals for Sweden? Apparently it's Walcott.
