World Cup 2018 is over for Sweden, yesterday we lost the quarterfinal against England with 0-2. England won sonce they were a better team yesterday. We did not do a good first half, while we had three really open good chabces to score in the second half – everytime denied by Pickford in the England goal, that was fantastic.
Anyway, we are Top 8 in the world after beating Netherlands, France, Italy, Mexico, Switzerland and knocking out Germany. Not do bad for a young new team from a small country, and we did it wothout Zlstan Ibrahimovic, even though it would have been another game yesterday with Zlatan on the team. He is still the only player in history scoring four goals against England in one game.
Now France-Belgium or Croatia-England will become World Chanpions this uear. Who would have thought that?
Our best players in this tournament have been defenders Victor Nilsson- Lindelöf, Andreas Granqvist and goalkeeper Robin Olsen.
One last thing, the quarterfinal Sweden vs. England was not the ebst gane of the four – but the only one without diving and players rolling around holding their head when being lightly pushed in their backs…
Yesterday France – my favourite for the title before the tournament – and Belgium won their querterfinals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup,
France beat two times World Champions Uruguay 2-0 and Belgium won over five times champions Brazil 2-1.
The semifinal France-Belgium will be a fantastic game.
The golden generation of Belgium facing the World Champions from 1998 France in what could become a classic football game.
Today, Sweden plays 1966 World Chanpion england and Croatia faces Russia for the remaining two quarterfinals. England and Croatia are big time favourites. Do we have a chance?
This Swedish team has proven to be hard to beat eleminating Netherlands, Italy, Germany from the tournament – and in addition having beaten France in the qualification, Portugal in a friendly away, plus Mexico and Switzerland in the World Cup so far. Can we win also over England? Nothing is impossible.
As Zlatan Ibrahimovic said yesterday, ‘We are not you, We are not like you. We are Sweden’.
