I'm surprised anyone is finding this game boring tbh, action all over and decent chances too. All it is missing is an over hyped primadonna rolling around on the floor.

Is there even a striker between the two nations that could be described as anything above average? I certainly expected this to be more tedious given the occasion but this is more entertaining than Croatia-Denmark despite the lack of goals. Sweden's games haven't been that bad really, they were terrific against Mexico and for all the lack of possession they're immense on the counter and carve out a fair few chances.

Bliss Seeker Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Oh I know that feeling so well. The ball comes over everyone, you sneek in at the back, it's begging to be smacked, begging to be utter twatted... it falls so beautifully on the volley and then whack, you're just not good enough mate. Side foot it, head it, anything but go for a screamer. He'd be feeling such a plonker for the rest of the game now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thengil Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Sweden are hampered by a great lack of quality on a number of positions. It has been team effort and organisation that has brought them this far. Straight forward direct play, two banks of four defending and just run like hell for your teammates. Player for player we are worse than most teams in the tournament.

I don't think anything would be different if they would have a few better players. Besides that, they already got a few decent players with Forsberg, Claesson, Ekdal, Lindelöf and Augustinsson.

Of course it is deliberate. It's called playing to your strengths while denying your opponent to do the same while compensating for your own weaknesses.
