Sweden finished third and playoff spot – Göteborgs-Posten

Where do we start?

Perhaps this:

This was the night when the Swedish national team soccer collapsed when a excellent Austria blasted Erik Hamréns castles in the air.

1-4-loss is one of the worst ever.

Almost half of Europe going to the European Championship finals. There is no great feat to get to France, rather a performance to miss next summer there.

The Swedish national team can still pull in the millions needed for an economically strained unions, record a dashing fight song and continue putting pictures of joy and harmony in their Instagramkonto.

Austria EM-clear, Russia’s new group runner-up and the other on the place in a little box for an equally clear as the expected away win against Liechtenstein.

Sweden is third and the playoff place, one point ahead of Montenegro.

The winner in the closing matches against Liechtenstein away on 9 October and three days later at home against Moldova and a new chance in November.

Steady decline

But if we’re going to talk football, talk about the run on Friends? This is not a team with a future. This is a team that is going backwards, which is out on a slow but steady decline for a coach who no longer seem to know what he should do, what he should believe, what he should stand for.

Situation is very tight, but we have had in the past also. The result is really bad, 1-4 is not good at all, but one has to see how the game looks, too, said coach Erik Hamrén afterwards to Channel 5th

Hamrén said that the national team had not really begun game so bad.

After 37 minutes, I think we had done well in terms of football, they barely have a seizure. Yet it is 0-2. It’s a penalty and a throw. But they get goals too easy.

It dribblades with numbers and positions of Moscow, apparently, to the extent that one and the other players did not really know what he would do at Spartak Stadium.

Pierre Bengtsson, Jimmy Durmaz and Pontus Wernbloom did not survive the purges when Hamrén panned on, pointing to the tactics board and said that in the evening we go 4-4-2, forget Saturday’s 4-5-1.

Martin Olsson was allowed to stay. He came to the collection with 45 minutes reserve team football with Norwich in the body. Then it went like it did.

Even after seven minutes, the first nail in the coffin leaky Swedish. Kim Kallstrom brought Zlatko Junuzovic, who too easily allowed to get into the penalty area from Olsson’s left edge. David Alaba chipped iced the ball in one corner while Andreas Isaksson flung himself on the other.



A Defence of resolution

Olsson was not awake when Martin Harnik pushed himself forward first at the far post and headed the Austrian 2-0. There were more who were sleeping. That Christian Fuchs casts long throw towards tall Marc Janko has long been a spy Reine Almqvist blocks.

It should not be a surprise, but it came as a surprise. Albin Ekdal was too far from Janko and behind him was Källström and Andreas Granqvist no chance in the air when Janko joint nodded.

A player behind, one in front. One learns the boy’s team.

38 minutes past.

And it was over.

Before the Spanish judge Carlos Velasco Carballo blew for half-time had Andreas Isaksson prevented frie Marko Arnautovic from making 3-0.

It was nothing less than a collapse, in a match Sweden was whipped to win as players and leaders talked far and wide that they learned nothing from Moscow .

Lots of talk, little action.

But the shadow falls most heavily on Hamrén. He inconsistency, the tactical vagueness. There is no accident investigation team to determine Hamrén reached the end of this time.

With fifteen minutes left rolled into Janko 0-3. Thousands of spectators stood up immediately and turned this team back. Tens of thousands when Harnik rolled into 0-4.

The additional time did Zlatan Ibrahimovic 1-4.
