Isak doubles Sweden's lead, 2-0.

Tunisia grab a goal a few minutes before half time to make the score 2-1. They can make a full comeback in the 2nd half I think, Sweden are lucky to even be in the tournament.

Entertaining game so far.

Gyökeres makes it 3

Arsenal players can't stop scoring huh?

Sweden lead 4-1 now.

Full .time:

Sweden 5 - 1 Tunisia

Tunisia looked poor at the AFCON and the change in manager and squad doesn’t look to have worked.

Sweden certainly have great attacking talent but I think their defence will be what stops them against the top sides.

This result is definitely more about how bad Tunisia are than Sweden being great. That will be a big boost to Sweden's goal difference though so that will probably ensure that they'll qualify for the knockout stages.

Potter weaved his magic there.

Sabri Lamouchi has been sacked by Tunisia after just one game at the World Cup.

Well if it worked for the Ivory Coast at Afcon!

Herve Renard does make the World Cup after all after taking over Tunisia for their final two group stage games.

I am looking forward to the Netherlands Sweden game this weekend!

Netherlands: Verbruggen, Dumfries, van Dijk, van Hecke, van de Ven, Gravenberch, de Jong, Reijnders, Malen, Brobbey, Gakpo. Subs: Flekken, Roefs, Ake, Geertruida, Hato, Kluivert, Koopmeiners, Lang, Depay, de Roon, Summerville, Til, Weghorst, Wieffer.

Sweden: Nordfeldt, Lagerbielke, Hien, Lindelof, Karlstrom, Bernhardsson, Nygren, Ayari, Gudmundsson, Gyokeres, Isak. Subs: Zetterstrom, Viktor Johansson, Herman Johansson, Bergvall, Svensson, Elanga, Sema, Ekdal, Starfelt, Svanberg, Smith, Zeneli, Stroud, Nilsson, Ali.

There's probably some drinking game where you sip every time Alan Shearer says getting something on the end of it.

An double for Brobbey and it's 2-0 Netherlands.
