Lathund Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Sweden's starting XI (4-2-3-1): Isaksson; Lustig, Granqvist, Mellberg, M. Olsson; Elm, Källström; Larsson, Ibrahimovic, Toivonen; Rosenberg Elmander has been medically cleared to play, but the fracture isn't healed so it's a matter of pain. Probably why he's being rested. Rosenberg is starting his first competitive game for Sweden since 2007... Elm ahead of Svensson is a matter of wanting someone more offensive, but Svensson should play against England and France I would think. Henrik Larsson in the studio just said that it's perhaps related to Rosenberg as well, wanting two players who can hit those accurate through balls in midfield.

Niebiescy Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Expect an exciting, attacking game. Both teams are weak at the back but have talented forwards. Ukraine's young wingers are really exciting while Zlatan should have a field day vs their defence. Could be one of the higher scoring games of the tournament. Neither team is any good but both are usually fun to watch and good for a few goals. Sweden are the better team and have more experience, but I have a feeling Ukraine nick it due to home advantage.
