WC 2010 Qual. Europe - Sweden v Portugal
done at this stage of qualification for the World Cup.
In the first game could not more than a draw with Albania away from home. It is true that created several
occasions of danger, but failed to the 3 points. That forced a different stance, more determined team in the
next game, which happened in front Stockholm against Hungary.
I expected a lot from Sweden in this game, but was very surprised by the negative. For the first time was not
organized in the field, did not create chances for goal and he was still down in a few moments by Hungary, which
has created good opportunities to open the score in the first 45 minutes.
It is true that after the interval to Sweden changed its stance and entered more determined on the field, and
won by 2x1.
At this game, Sweden didn't present a scheme game set. It was evident the lack of linkage of players in my
opinion, since the selection experiencing a serious crisis of lesions (7 are unavailable for today's game). The
danger plays were created mainly by moments of inspiration from Kim Källström, who did a very good game against
Hungary.
But the enemy today is much more demanding, and is in some ways hurt after the disaster that happened in the
last game at home, when he lost by 3x2 to Denmark after having been in advantage to 83min of play (1x0), but in
10 minutes happened 4 goals and Denmark won the game dramatically.
Portugal knows that it is forbidden to lose this game, and I believe that Carlos Queiroz is more concerned with
not losing the game than winning. As he said himself, a draw would not be a bad result.
Frankly I do not see Sweden with quality to win this game, the same way that Portugal makes me uneasy because
the first concern be to not lose the game. To imagine that a balanced game, and with good chances to finish
draw.
