I was again right like in previous games Happy Holland... It was just first game but atm they are the strongest! Good move, nice players, smart tactic... It was fantastic football!!! And I still trust in Romania, I think thay can win Italy and lose Holland and than they will qualify to 1/4. And finally Russia starts Tongue I really don't think that we can show something on this EuroCup. We have good coach, good players but anyway... Pogrebnyak is injured and he is best scorer of UEFA Cup, we always have problems in defense and some of our MF not in good shape now... So I think we will lose Spain 0-2 Sad And Sweden-Greece I think will be 1-0 for Sweden.

Sweden = Ibrahimovic mostly and IBRACADABRA on a good day can win a match on his own. Unfortunately lately he has had injury problems @his knee so not sure he will be in top shape. Nevertheless GL Svenska!

Man,cant wait to see Henrik Larsson in action...that guy is an ICON! He is what every player should be like,a true fighter...he broke his foot very badly and after that came back to be best goal scoarer of Europe or sometn.

37 year old veteran that retired and came back to pro football only cause of Euro to help his team...gotta admire that.

all the respect for Mr. Larsson, but @ 37 it's gonna be tough to reach the maximal potential of his past condition, not to forget the physical aspect of his game. 37 for a striker is beyond A LOT...

He's intended to be deployed more as a playmaker than anything else in a attacking midfielder (defensive striker??) role distributing balls for Zlatan, his age shouldn't pose a problem. People have been saying he's too old for ten years now, his sejour in Man U showed he can roll with the best of them. AFAIK he's in top shape, wouldn't have considered saying yes otherwise. That said, I still think we should have shifted focus towards the younger players and give them some experience and a chance to shine (Rosenberg etc, and loads of others who weren't even selected by our coach :roll:).

Sweden might play 4-4-1-1, we'll see. Should confuse the greeks.

Gotta admire his respect for his former team, when he's not celebrating that goal.
Happy

Sweden has a lot of talented strikers. Larsson is an icon, true, but there's only so much you can do @ age 36. Honestly, 36 is much for a goalkeeper, let alone a forward. The same applies to Allbäck, who is like a year or two younger than Larsson. Imo players like Elmander, Rosenberg, Berg (why the hell wasn't he even picked??) and Slavkovski should get more chances. Still, i'm confident Svenska can rub some Greek noses, and take 3 points. Love struck

Absolutely not true. Romario was the best goalscoarer in brazilian league (full of young hyped-up talented brazilians that eat grass for breakfast) at the age of 40,or even 41,cant remmember anymore. If u have it in u,nothing is impossible.
