Sweden team guide



How did they get there: Qualified after smacking the likes of Finland and Bulgaria with 6-0 wins.
Manager: Fredrik Stanback. The fourth Swedish manager in eight years.
Captain: John Bengtsson. The tall, gangly 28-year-old has experience with hometown Stockholm Storm and Munich Maniax. Now he plays at Glasgow FC.
Euro highlights: No real highlights. They lost 5-3 to Netherlands in 1996, after being 3-0 up, and four years later they received a real spanking by Germany with a 7-0 defeat.
Euro legend: Markus Nilsson, with his talented ball skills.
Star player: Ahmet Haminovic. The striker from Bosnian origin is deadly.
Strengths: Defence. Bengtsson is a "sick" header of the ball and 6'8" Stefan Andersson is unbelievable in the air. Swedish keeper Jonas Pasmark has a fine reaction.
Weaknesses: Bengtsson is sometimes a buffoon for dissent. If J.B. chews the ref's ear off in this tournament, he's likely to be sent off and that will destroy all of Sweden's chances.
World ranking: 15th.
Our verdict: If Bengtsson and Andersson have a good defensive game against France, they can get to knockout stages.
