Re: UEFA Euro 2024 Qualifiers

Belgian Federation wants to validate the result 1-1, and will contact UEFA, as well as Austrian and Swedish federations. They could ask a 3-0 victory because Sweden refused to play second half and already left Belgium, but they don't want to enforce their rights " out of ethics ". In cons...

Re: 2023-24 Champions League: 1st and 2nd qualifying rounds

I see some discussions about how strong BK Häcken is. As being a Swede I can probably shed some light on that. They are surely a strong team - did win the league last year and doubled up with winning the Swedish cup just a month ago. In this year's league they are in the top three who has already cr...

Re: UEFA Euro 2024- Qualifier

I hope the "expert commentator" will also apologise because the way he handled Anderrson's losing it was completely unprofessional. A commentator should be able to handle a situation like that with grace instead of putting your NT's coach even more on the spot. This is not the great Ameri...

Re: UEFA Euro 2024- Qualifier

Very impressive from Sweden. The fact that Gyökeres chose their NT over Hungary kind of hurts my feelings but hey it's a free world. Maybe the two teams will meet in the group stage. I agree that 5-0 as a result is impressive but until 60th minute only 1-0 and far from impressive performance on the...

Re: World Cup Predictions

My thinking of Serbia as the outsider and potential semi-finalist is really hanging on a very thin thread after being unable to seal the game against Cameroon at 3-1. But as we all know "it ain't over until the fat lady sings" - they can still beat the Swiss and move on!

Re: World Cup 2022 [GROUP E] Costa Rica, Germany, Japan, Spain

Germany have really placed themselves in a difficult position where they must beat Spain to have a chance to qualify - and even then it's not safe. Japan beating Costa Rica places them on six... Spain beating Costa Rica and Japan places them on six which could mean three teams on six with GD to deci...

Re: World Cup Predictions

1 - Who is going to win the 2022 World Cup? Brazil (beating Portugal, Germany, Argentina on the way) 2 - Who is going to be the losing finalist? France (beating Mexico, Senegal, Serbia on the way) 3 - Random predictions about the tournament. Serbia reaching semi-finals by beating Spain in the QF. Se...

Re: 2022/2023 Conference League Group F: Gent - Molde - Shamrock Rovers - Djurgarden

UEFA.tv says that it's the first time in 26 years that a Swedish team reaches the last 16 round of a major European competition. So I suppose that they mean IFK Goteborg in the 1996/1997 CL group stage was the last time, plus AIK in the Cup Winners Cup quarters in the same season, plus Helsingborg ...

And Hammarby for ECL-Q2, unless AIK catches up 3 points and 21 goals in the last MD... which of course is not going to happen.

Re: Swedish Football 2022 -

Congratulations Häcken! As much as it hurts to see them celebrate on "our" ground, there is no doubt that they have been the best team throughout the season - being the only team which has shown consistent form. Very impressive to finish the league with the "zero" intact on losse...

Re: Swedish Football 2022 -

Häcken could become champions already tonight if Djurgården fails to win against already relegated Sundsvall at home. Should Djurgården win that (which they probably will), Häcken will have a huge chance of celebrating the title by securing at least one point away vs "big brother" IFK Göte...

Re: Swedish Football 2022 -

Hammarby not being able to beat Sirius at home sealed the title for Häcken. Häcken is still in many ways a very small club from Gothenburg having used their earnings from organising Gothia Cup for many years in a very wise way. For those of you who may not know, Gothia Cup is one of Europe's largest...

Re: Swedish Football 2022 -

Häcken certainly in the driver seat... but with a tough schedule to go. Too early to rule out Hammarby yet, but they are the only one with a realistic chance to take Häcken. My guess now... Häcken 75%, Hammarby 24%, Djurgården/Kalmar 1%. As for the other European spots... Malmö-Djurgården tonight cr...

Re: Swedish Football 2022 -

Fully aware that it's best for Swedish ranking and coefficient to have Malmö in Europe, but yesterday was a great day! Dear old Blåvitt (blue-white) beating old rivals Malmö on an October pitch :)
