Being a fan of the swedish team, I make an appeal to Lars Lagerbäck not start up with players who are not in form. I think he should have the courage to drop out Melberg, even though he is the captain because he has shown during the match against Chili that he is not the same player 4 years ago.
Lagerbäck should align players who want to play football. I am confident that we will make it to the Final.

As a completely unbiased England fan, I feel very strongly that Sweden will come second in the group.

Sweden v England, June 20, is definitely the best match of Group B, and I think, with the implications, one of the best matches of the Group Stage.

Of course, the next day, June 21, Netherlands plays Argentina, which also will be a great match.

The third of the 3 best matches, considering the potential implications on which teams advance, has got to be June 22, Czech Rep. v Italy.

Three days in a row, three great match-ups, three deciding matches.

Now now guys. Let’s not fall out over this! Seriously, it is going to be a tough group. England will struggle against a well organised Sweden, but I think Sweden will also struggle to find the net unless Henke and Zlatan are on form.

It’s just going to be a great contest no matter what.

Funny sam, how the first sentence reads “Trinidad and Tobago keeper Kelvin Jack”, yet you label him a swede. And might i add, being a prolific football fan myself that the two previous international tournaments (WC2002 and EC2004) both saw sweden alotted in the group of death. 2002 saw sweden top the group ahead of England, argentina and nigeria. 2004 saw sweden top the group ahead of denmark, Italy and bulgaria. And another point, it’s been almost 30 years since england last beat the swedes. And another: Henke Larsson created bot of Barca’s late goals in the CL final against Arsenal, Zlatan Ibra won Juve player of the year in their scudetto year 2005. And Ljunberg, ahh, like music to ones ear.

Excuse me if I’ve accidentally lumped Sweden in with Nordic squads. For me, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are all Nordic teams.

But one or two of them might take exception to that.
