It will be a thriller.
In Sweden I believe we are just about favourites to win this game, but I think it's going to be difficult.
Last time, this weekend, we played New Zeeland in a friendly game and won 4-1, but it says nothing. Mostly because the National Coach has decided to play 11 other players this evening vs Austria.
A bit idiotic if you ask me. If he wanted to try some new players vs New Zeeland, do so in the first half only. I think they could change lots of players in a friendly, more than normally, right?!
Simultaneously, Austria played 1-1 away to Belgium this weekend.
We played Belgium at home in March, were outplayed and lost 0-3.
Austria w Arnautovic, Sabitzer, Baumgartner and Alaba.
Sweden w Kulusevski, Olsen, Isak and perhaps Guidetti (from the bench)?
Can be two ex-Stokies to look at.
🤠⚽

You could creep into my house while I was asleep and scrawl JOHN GUIDETTI PLAYED FOR STOKE in black paint on my bathroom mirror, and I'd still have forgotten by the time I left the house in the morning

Things to do ...
Put on my trousers, pick up the eye ointment and buy some ice cream ... colour my hair, make dinner and read about trademarks before the game.

Fy fan, Guidetti ska inte spela… eller? Calm down! I just realised he's not even in the squad. Two days ago the squad wasn't even declared. Viktor Gyökeres, Coventry forward most likely starts on the bench. So is Elanga, Man Utd. Hopefully both get the chance. Funny though, our best players play in England. Olsen, gk, Aston Villa Elanga, fw Man Utd Kulusevski, fw Tottenham Isak, fw Newcastle plus Hj Ekdal, def, Burnley N Lindelöf, def, Man U |

It's always fun to see Arnautovic play, if he does. What mood will he be in?

3rd min Forsberg (Swe) in the pen box, surrounded by four Austrian players. Couldn't control it.
4th min. Austrian long shot. Close.

Austria got a chance to shoot.
Good block.

4 great austrian goal chances between 35-45th min first half.
Robin Olsen, Aston Villa, saved us (Swe).
Albin Ekdal out injured at half time.
Didn't get the replacement.
Arnautoviç on?
No idea what the commentators are blabbing about.

Austria-Sweden 2-0
Fair result
Something like 20-5 in goal chances.

Lindelöf, defender Man Utd, made a terrible mistake in midfield for their second goal.
Could easily have been 5-7 for Austria.
Best goal keeping I've seen for a long time in Olsen, Aston Villa.
0-0 for 80 mins.

Joke interviews ...
They said they were close.
Little details.
Seriously?
One of the worst swedish performances I've ever seen.
But. There's still a little chance.
Win the remaining 5 games.

With Lindelhof at the back it’s hard to see how you don’t concede goals.
He’s a laughing stock in England

Austria looking well placed to qualify, they now have some lesser teams to play.
Sweden seem to be on a bit of down curve right now.

After the dreadful ice cream choice by the young Swede there, one can only imagine what may have happened in the hair coloring department.

It made me think that the position you have as a player is very crucial to how you will be judged; when a goalie or a defender makes a mistake it usually looks worse than if a midfielder does one, I think. Still, he's played matches 36 for Manchester United this season. A top club I wouldn't have been near joining in my youth, not as a defender anyway ... He's won the C Cup with them this season and the golden ball best national player here twice. |
