The Swedish national team got a real nightmare draw in qualifying for the World Cup in Russia. Netherlands, France, Bulgaria, Belarus and Luxembourg together with Sweden in qualifying group A.
– Not impossible, but very difficult. Holland has not shown the same stability as before, but now they have a few years to build up. And France has a very good team again.
Sweden must win Group , or become one of the best eight best group runners-up overall in the European qualifying, to have a chance to play the World Cup. Lower than that is not enough for qualification.
– It will require a lot from Sweden to continue.
Håkan Mild flags to away games against Bulgaria and Belarus also becomes difficult. But he has not lost hope directly in advance.
– Swedish law “underdogs” often make great achievements. It will take a bit from U21 national team (who took the European Championship last summer, editor’s note). Can you get to that organization and that attitude may suffice, concludes Radiosporten expert Håkan Mild.
The qualifying session will start in autumn 2016. Here you see the second qualifying groups in Europe.
