Henrik Larsson has struck the first blow for Sweden against England by getting the better of Ian Wright- on the golf course.
Ruud Gullit teamed up with the Celtic legend to record the reaction as the telly pundits took time off from the studio to hit the fairways with Wright playing alongside BBC man Jermaine Jenas.
There is a lot I like about this video, but the best part might be the look on @jjenas8 and @WrightyOfficial faces. Henrik Larsson draws first blood for the Swedish against England #golfisnotcominghome #SweEng pic.twitter.com/JoLj9AwAB8

Larsson and Wright were both at Celtic under John Barnes but are held in entirely different esteem by the Celtic support.
Former England striker Wright was brought in after Larsson broke his leg in 1999 but failed to make any impact and left the hoops soon after Barnes was sacked.
Larsson completed a remarkable recovery from injury to make the Swedish side for Euro 2000 and scored a memorable goal against Italy.
In the ITV World Cup studio Wright has become the hysterical England fan over-reacting to everything while Larsson has remained as dead-pan as ever delivering some insight and balance in his usual manner.
