90min. Final Whistle. Ireland owned the game after the injury on Ibrahimovic, we only managed to produce one good chance.


80min. Östlund out, Christoffer Andersson in, Larsson out, Albäck in. Ireland closer to 4-0 then Sweden to 3-1. Zlatan Ibrahimovic injury only a minor knee injury.

71min. Goal! 3-0 Liam Miller. A beautiful long shot in Isakssons upper right corner

70min. Zzzz. Linderoth out, Daniel Andersson in. Sweden does not manege to produce anything. Svensson looks a lite bit better then Källström did.

60min. Great chance for Henrik Larsson after a good pass from Wilhelmsson but Irish keeper saves Larsssons shoot from five meters. Jonsson and Svensson in, Källstöm and Elmander out, together with Östlun they have been worst in Sweden.

50min. Goal! 2-0 Robbie Keane. Mellberg and Hansson looked very slow when Keane run past them on a long ball

Halftime. Sweden has big problems with the bumpy pitch, no team produce any good football but Ireland is the better team. Källström is to slow with the ball which makes it hard for Sweden to build up long and constructive attacks. Duff produces lots of good crosses and corners when he gets past Östlund every time that he get the ball but Mellberg and Hansson have so far been able be first to the ball.

35min. Zlatan Ibrahimovic out (knee injury), Marcus Rosenberg in. Goal! 1- 0 Damien Duff, Östlund have big problems with Duff.

25 min. Good volley inches over the bar by Larsson after a magnificent pass by Zlatan

20 min. Sweden have started to take over the game, Östlund booked after a foul on Duff

10 min. Zlatan had a good chance after a nice pass by Larsson, but Irish keeper Given reached the ball first. Centre defence with Mellberg and Hansson looks good. Östlund have problems with Duff.

I have not found any live stream of Ireland – Sweden so I will update this blog during the game. Goals will be posted and a couple of short analyses.

The reactions on players was that Ostlund is not good enough to play in The World Cup, unfortunately we don’t have any good alternatives to him. We are very vulnerable when we miss some of our big three stars, Ljungberg, Ibrahimovic and Larsson. The players that received the chance to play them self into the starting eleven, Källstöm, Elmander and Hansson all failed.
