Sweden

World Cup 2026 Β· Pre-tournament verdict

The Gaffer says

β€œRight, Sweden, son. Ceiling? They can frustrate the big boys, park the bus and nick one on the break, proper nuisance team. But here's my honest worry, mate β€” no Zlatan, no Ibra magic, and that midfield's gone soft in the middle. Gut read? They're treading water, son. Verdict: Tidy but toothless. Group stage and home, nailed on.”

After they went out

β€œCalled it weeks ago, the Swedes turned up like tourists and France sent them home packing.”

The Gaffer's picks for Sweden fixtures will appear here after the schedule is set.
