They have a poll in one of Sweden's tv studios, asking: What team do you think will win the Euro 2020?
Why is it called 2020 btw, I think they should change that, but probably it's due to logotype, advertising and trailer costs etc.
France are for some reason favourites at around 40% I think it was. "Another team" 20%. England, The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain around 10% each.
Funny.

Spain vs Sweden
Spain favourites and Luis Enrique said Sweden has no international top class player.
Given the information regarding injuries, covid-19 and fitness among the players I know exactly how I would face Spain and with what players.
It has to be a 4-1-3-2-formation.
Olsen (goal keeper) - EVERTON
Bengtsson (left wing back) - VEJLE Danielsson (central def) - DALIAN Lindelöf (central def) - MAN UNITED Krafth (right wing back) - NEWCASTLE
Claesson (def midfielder) - KRASNODAR
Forsberg (left winger) - LEIPZIG Berg (att central midf) - KRASNODAR S Larsson (right winger) - AIK
Isak (striker) - REAL SOCIEDAD Quaison (striker) - MAINZ
Bench: Nordfeldt gk - GENCLERBIRLIGI Helander c def - GLASGOW RANGERS Augustinsson wing back - W BREMEN Olsson mf - KRASNODAR Svensson mf - GUANGZHOU Sema winger - WATFORD J Larsson fw - SPARTAK MOSCOW
Cajuste injured - MIDTJYLLAND Jansson not in shape - BRENTFORD Kulusevski out, Covid-19 - JUVENTUS Svanberg out, Covid-19 - BOLOGNA Ekdal, slightly injured - SAMPDORIA
Unfortunately they won't have the guts to play like this to win the game. I expect a defensive formation, perhaps 4-4-2 at best, with Berg and Isak up front. I'd like to have Both Isak and Quaison up front with Berg as the target player behind them. His new role which suits him much better, he's never been a real typical striker. S Larsson, the captain, to be replaced by Sema and Jordan Larsson (Henrik's son) as substitution for Quaison or Isak some time in the second half.

Isn't Ibrahimovic back in the international team musik? No no, he got injured in early May vs Juventus and is even probably facing an operation now.

You could try playing with 2 goalkeepers, might help a bit 😛

Interesting to see only 10% of the swedish tv viewers who have voted think Spain will win the Euro Champs. And Italy and Germany even less.
At our betting company the least chance of going through from the group stage, Finland has, bottom at 250 times the money, I think it was.
Wow! Should have put 100 SEK (£8.5) on Finland before the first game. They might go through, hopefully they'll beat or get a point at least against the russians. Finland going through to the next round would have given me 25000 SEK!! 😱

Sticking my neck out here, but I fancy an upset tonight. I've had a small wager on Sweden to win at 10/1.

From a little snippet I caught earlier on the TV Spain don’t have the players to play how they used to play and have adapted to another type of game plan, also fancy Sweden to get something from the game.

Used to play when? When we met last time? Or years ago? Sweden miss both Kulusevski and Cajuste tonight, our two out of three most creative attacking midfield players.

Almost a well deserved 1-0-lead to Sweden close to the end of the first half there by Alexander Isak, but the ball hit the post.

No i don't think so because he said he was 'excited' during the 1st half but sadly his voice box does not know how to show it.

Yes, Olsen gk (Roma, on loan to Everton) best so far. Augustinsson, left wing back is pretty good so far. Danielsson, central defender also good so far, apart from one mistake. Lindelöf, the other central defender ok too. Lustig (former Celtic player, now AIK) right wing back, is having a nightmare though. The central midfielders, Ekdal and Olsson, play the ball in panic when they eventually get it. Forsberg just chasing. Larsson on the other side totally anonymous. Not easy as a forward, Berg and Isak, (or to be an attacking midfielder for that matter) to just run without the ball.
