An intense and chaotic national team meeting will conclude in Bucharest when Sweden visits Romania in the fourth match of the Nations League group stage. Here's everything you need to know ahead of Monday's match.
SportsAt the players' meeting before the bus trip to Dallas Stadium and the fateful match against Japan, Ken Sema stood up and gave an emotional speech. It felt like it hit home; many could relate. It was appreciated and it showed on the field, Sema said.
SportsIt couldn't be a tougher task in the round of 16. If Sweden's World Cup is not to end on Tuesday, Sweden must defeat France. It's football. It's a match. Anything can happen, says Sweden's Ken Sema.
FootballThe World Cup is alive for the national team - and now the round of 16 awaits. Unclear where, unclear when. But it will come. Anthony Elanga's equalizer against Japan - 1-1 in Dallas - dramatically raises World Cup fever.
SportsAn unknown Englishman stepped into the Swedish second division. 15 years later, he steps into a football dream. "To be sitting here now is, of course, quite incredible," says national team captain Graham Potter ahead of Sweden's World Cup match against the Netherlands.
FootballThe Netherlands haven't lost a World Cup match in regular time in 20 years. On Midsummer's Day, Sweden will try to break the streak - and secure a playoff spot. Here's everything you need to know.
SportsGraham Potter has made his choice. The Swedish starting eleven in the World Cup opener against Tunisia will be the expected one. Among them, Kristoffer Nordfeldt will start in goal. "We are ready and want to make everyone proud and try to win this match," the national captain said on the Swedish Football Association's website.
FootballEight years go by quickly - almost an entire national football team can be replaced. Only Victor Nilsson Lindelöf and goalkeeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt remain from Sweden's World Cup squad in Russia. This gives them extra responsibility now.
