Sweden finally hit the net

Freddie Ljungberg’s stock as a Calvin Klein underwear model no doubt rose an inch or two this evening as he headed in the winner in this evening’s World Cup Group B match against Paraguay.

With only one minute of ordinary time left, Ljungberg sent Swedish fans wild as he scored Sweden’s first goal of the tournament to put Sweden just two points behind England in Group B and surely into the quarter finals of the World Cup.

Sweden were arguably the better side throughout the first-half, attacking the Paraguay goal but as the seconds ticked away in the second-half it was Swedish keeper Isaksson who was called upon to make a couple of important saves.

After intense criticism over the last few days since the Trinidad & Tobago match on Saturday, Lars Lagerbäck will no doubt savour tonight’s victory along with his players.

Heja Sverige!
