[ExpatSwede]

Sweden:
My Prediction - Quarter final.
Good - 2nd round or (depending on opponent) quarter final. Everything else is gravy.
Bad - Not reaching 2nd round. (After WC02 and Euro04 not reaching 2nd round will be considered a failure)

[Warrior10]

Although I hope Trinidad & Tobago will light up Germany as the smallest nation ever, coming home with at least one win and giving Paraguay and England a good run will be satisfactory.

By the way inmy ideal WC, T&T would make out of the group with Paraguay....and no, im not currently high...just dreaming,

[Big balls]

Haha people are saying "Bad" for Sweden would be to lose to T&T. It would not be "bad". It would be the worst disaster in Swedish footballing history.

Good, QF

Bad, failing to make it past the group
