Rosenberg is in great form, I'm hoping he'll get some chances to play. The squad is looking pretty good imo.

Key players are Linderoth, Ibrahimovic and Isaksson. Linderoth is quality, probably the most underrated player in Swedens nation team. I think he'll be a huge success in this world cup and I don't think he will play for Copenhagen next year. Ibrahimovic always produces in the NT and Isaksson is always amazing. The problem is the right back, there's only crap back there, perhaps if Stenman could play there but I don't like left footed players on that spot. Perhaps if Alexandersson could play there once more, though in my opinion he´s past his prime. Otherwise the backline looks fine, the whole team looks solid. Sweden could go veeery far if they get a good start.

Players to watch: Ibra, Willhelmsson and maybe Källström (he's been amazing for Rennes this year).

TBH I see several reasons why he shouldn't have picked Zlatan.
Although he's poor in Juventus, he always plays very well for Sweden. He scored 8-9 goals in the qualifiers, some of them very vital. Not as big of an ego there either for some reason.

His ego would be my reason not to select him though. The WC lasts several weeks. Imagine what can happen with him and Ljungberg being there ;).

    Sweden played a friendly today against Finland and it ended 0-0. It showed that Sweden have some problem with the defenders on the right wing and they were played out by Finland in the first half but it got better in the second. Zlatan, Larsson and Ljungberg didn't play so it can only get better from here.

    That game meant nothing really. It only showed that our starting attackers are 1. Zlatan, 2. Larsson 3. Allbäck 4. Elmander 5. Rosenberg. Nilsson is better of as a defender and Alexandersson is better of as a midfielder. Källström should get a place in the starting eleven against Trinidad Tobago. Stenman showed some talent in the few minutes he played. Our starting eleven should be:

    -----------Isaksson-----------
    Nilsson Mellberg Lucic Edman
    ---------- Linderoth-----------
    Wilhelmsson------Ljungberg-
    -----------Källström-----------
    -------Zlatan---Henke--------

    I give you guys two more days before Zlatan starts causing problems.

    Like "I want 500 000 euros for every game I have to play alongside that prick Ljunberg" or "I DID NOT headbut Larsson".

    Seven, you seem to know very little of Zlatan. I think you should stop letting all that crap in your mouth fly out. He feels very good playing with the squad, just like he always has. And if Zlatan starts fighting with Ljungberg, he won't be the first player in our team to do that.

    :howler:

    I've seen Zlatan's arrogance within the Swedish team, and his continuous fights with Ljungberg have only made him look more stupid. As harsh as it may seem, Zlatan's just some street punk. He'll never have class, he'll never be good enough for Juve.
