CFuller Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 The most entertaining part of this afternoon for me has been listening out for the various indie songs that the BBC play over their VTs and thinking, "Hey, I know that one!" I reckon the Beeb will have gone through Wolf Alice's entire back catalogue by the time the Final comes around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedrik Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Sweden again looking to sit back and give the opponent the ball . Now this is quite understandable against Spain, but against Slovakia it is quite embarrassing. Starting with Kulusevski and Claesson on the wings, Isak up front and Forsberg behind him as an AMC, would already give the team much more creativity and attacking options. However, it seems that Sweden is unwilling to give that a go. Which is basically the same like every major tournament, when they are deliberately trying to play the most negative and defensive football they possibly can. From that perspective it would be great to see Sweden finish last in this group, but unfortunately that probably won't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Poland got up to 3 points on MD3 and finished level with Slovakia they would still be 4th on h2h record and unable to finish 3rd.

Thengil Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Pretty awful first half, better second half from Sweden. Pretty impressive that it's so hard to score against us considering what players we actually have - a back four of Lustig, Danielsson, Lindelöf and Augustinsson isn't exactly awe inspiring. But I guess the tightly organised non-adventurous midfield helps. Will be very surprised if we make it past the first round after the group stage though.

Tikka Mezzala Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 I actually fell asleep at half time. Just woke up to see Sweden won. I can only assume Slovakia continued to offer no threat in the second half. Well done Sweden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
