With a little luck and skill, the baron and the defender end up with both. He had hoped to check off The Sixth Floor Museum on the players' day off on Tuesday, but it was difficult to get anyone to take the plunge.
Interest in the assassination of President John F Kennedy on November 22, 1963, was limited among the rest of the squad.
Jacob Widell Zetterström had plans to join Lagerbielke, but the goalkeeper decided against it and chose to spend time with his visiting family.
"I felt a little let down. It will be difficult to get someone else," Lagerbielke says with a smile.
Is there potential for improvement?
The focus, despite the interest in history, is of course on the match with Japan on Friday night.
Technically skilled, tactically sound. They have had the same coach for a long time and have achieved good results.
What went wrong with the Netherlands?
"There are many situations, of course, but three of the goals were scored in a similar way. It is clear that there is potential for improvement there," says Lagerbielke.
The biggest lesson is really that when we don't stay compact as a team and wait for something when we face the best teams, it will pay off. We basically have to be spotless in defense. It's important not to give anything away.
Lagerbielke doesn't try to brush off the 1–5 result, but he also points out:
In terms of attack, I think we are putting in one of the best performances since I joined the national team. How we attack, how we create chances against such a good team as Holland. It is a new match now and we cannot dwell on it. We want to make all Swedes at home happy against Japan.
Set pieces important
Against Poland in the playoff final last spring, he headed in a free kick from Benjamin Nygren. He was a few inches offside in the replay in Houston on Saturday.
Set pieces can be a weapon against Japan. Collectively, Sweden has an advantage, with a higher average height.
We feel like we've been very strong on set pieces in the national team. That could very well be an important factor. And being taller makes it easier to reach the balls.
Gustaf Lagerbielke is 193 centimeters tall. In the evenings he is currently reading The Women by Kristin Hannah.
"To disconnect from football a little," he says.
