I wanted to go for Spain - Germany and Spain - England as they are played here in town but Spain - England is fully booked

Today I got my tickets for the Spain - Germany though...it can be a good match.

I will try my best to get a ticket to one of the semi-finals as it is also played here in town but I doubt I can get something.

 

[Noodle]

I won't be able to go to a single game :depressed

 

[JCK]

Why not? Spain - Germany still has tickets available.

Yeah I know, tickets aren't the problem. I'm travelling to India on the 15th, bad timing.

 

[Esteban]

What stadium in GBG, The "Nya Gamla Ullevi" or the bigger Ullevi? I'm guessing the New Old Ullevi but I would say there would be no problems filling up the 43k seater for Sweden games and the final.

 

[JCK]

It will be the New Old Ullevi. Sweden will play all the group matches in Helsingborg and the final will be played there.

Göteborg will have three matches from Group B and one semi final.

Not according to fotbollskanalen.se and they should know given that it's TV4 who will air the tournament.

[JCK]

Where will the other semi-final be played? And how can Sweden play their semi final (if they advance) in Göteborg? if they end up 1st or 2nd in the group?

I think it's the one who finishes second in that group that plays in Göteborg.

EDIT:
Semi 2 / Vinnare B-Tvåa A / 18.00 / Göteborg

I wanted Spain - England too but the tickets vanished so fast.

 

[Suns]

They should have used Råsunda instead of Halmstad. Örjans Vall is embarrasing.

Score!

 

[Esteban]

So, let's get the hype going. Line ups, predictions? Come on people, this shit is big.

 

[Esteban]

My ideal eleven for Sweden, it's gonna be 4-4-2 and no Harbuzi though.

4-3-1-2
Dahlin (Lyn)
Lustig (Rosenborg) R.Bengtsson (Trelleborg) Bjärsmyr (IFK Gothenburg) M.Bengtsson (Blackburn) -
R.Elm (Kalmar) G.Svensson (IFK Gothenburg) Bajrami (Elfsborg) -
Harbuzi (Malmö) -
Wernbloom (AZ Alkmaar) Toivonen (PSV Eindhoven)

Most of these guys are probably unknowns to the general football fan, we're miles below Italy, Spain, etc in terms of star quality but we have some good players in there and we actually drew with both Italy and Spain just a few months ago in friendlies with both teams full strength.

The objective must be advancing from the group stages, which will be a tough task given that Italy will probably cruise and none of Serbia or Belarus are batty boys.

Where is Ekdal? Is he too young to get a starting spot?

 

[JCK]

No, he hasn't got enough playing time to be given a starting point.

 

[Hust]

so he just isn't good enough?
