A tough groupSweden’s qualification group in the run-up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ is widely regarded as one of the toughest. Apart from the lower ranked teams Malta and Albania, Sweden may struggle against Portugal, Denmark and perhaps even Hungary. However, Sweden has participated in the previous two FIFA World Cups™, reaching the second round both times, and their squad does have the necessary quality to at least secure the second place behind favourites Portugal. Recently, Sweden disappointed at the UEFA European Championships, finishing third in their group behind Russia and eventual champions Spain. Eagerly anticipated is the match against Denmark. The controversial clash between the two Scandinavian sides from 2007 in Copenhagen still remains in the memories of many football fans around the world. But if Sweden can continue to play to their full potential, with superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic and striking partner Johan Elmander firing on all cylinders, they will be confident of beating most sides. |
