Now it starts…

Today Sweden play South Korea at Nizhny Novgorod Arena in the first round of the 2018 Soccer World Cup in Russia.

After Mexico beating champions and favorites Germany 1-0 in the same group yesterday, this will be a decisive gane for both teams.

If we win today, we play Germany on Sunday. If Sweden wins we are through, and Germany is out….

Sweden will be desperate to get their first World Cup finals campaign for 12 years off to a winning start.

Our coach Janne Andersson has a team tha lacks real star power without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but it has formidable organisation and a team spirit got them to Russia at the expense of Netherlands and Italy. We also have ‘the next one’, Emil Forsberg. A former Malmö FF player.

Forsberg – for the moment playing in Germany – will be a star in Premiere League next season. Remember where you read it first…

Today Forsberg will beat South Korea.
