I know they’re losing but Japan look really good. They’re good at retaining possession but they also move it forward quickly as well which a lot of possession-based teams don’t.
 
Worried....

Absolute shambles of a team right now.
Which is annoying as you probably can argue that we that we got one of the better attacks in the whole WC (it they would play on at their peak) :emoticon-0184-tmi:

Japan and Netherlands to advance, if we dont win tonight I reckon its game over
No need to worry Febs we always make at least the semifinals when the World Cup is in the US.

Kom igen Sverige!

One of the most exciting groups for sure. Japan really played well, very positive and direct play. Vaguely City-esque at times, actually.

Can always dream! Probably the Brazilians waiting first in a knock out stage :emoticon-0184-tmi:

Do you notice any major differences in general between the English and Swedes supporting their country? :)

@Febbos yes 100%.

First most Swedes i know claim not to care at all about the national team....until we do a little bit ok then...

I would say Swedes care a lot more about the hockey VM or the winter Olympics than the FiFA VM.

Big game in for Sweden tonight against the Dutch. They've converted the old Olympic Stadium across the road from our place.

Sweden outsiders but had a little bet on Sweden to win and over 2.5 goals.
Over 2,5 feels reasonable, problem is that I dont know if I believe more in 4-0 Netherlands or a cheeky 2-1 Sweden, never know with this team :emoticon-0102-bigsm
Cant see us not conceding, but surely Isak & Gyokeres can cause some havoc again...

Just happy that they finally have brought some joy to the country after far too long... :emoticon-0115-inlov

0-4 might have been optimistic
