No, the officiall line up is not...official yet. I guess the names in bold are what Aftonbladet guess is the starting line up. Im pretty sure Charlie will be in it. Starting lineup will first be shown on hammarby website about 30 minutes from now. Look out for "Startelvan" or something like that on this site: http://www.hammarbyfotboll.se/se/aktuellt/nyheter/ - - Im afraid there is no stream but the link I posted earlier is the second best... - - Got to leave for the match now. Wish us luck.
Thanks for the instructions- looks like Petter and Paulinho start: http://www.hammarbyfotboll.se/se/aktuellt/artiklar/?articleid=30740
Charlie starts on the bench. The starting eleven: 50. Richard Kingson 2. David Johansson 4. Christian Traoré 7. Suleyman Sleyman 5. Emil Johansson 17. Erkan Zengin 6. Louay Chanko 8. Sebastian Eguren 18. Haris Laitinen 9. Petter Andersson 19. Paulinho
It was a long shot by Laitinen that just touched Egurens head. It really looked as the keeper should have taken it, but maybe he was surprised by the minimal touch from Eguren.
It looks like Hammarby wins it 2-0 with 2 goals from Eguren. Charlie entered in the 75th minute. His name was mentioned a few times but I have no idea what for.
Trying to parse out the few Swedish words I can recognize from some of the match commentary I saw, Charlie may have had a pretty good scoring chance just after he came on.
Charlie created a good chance 5 secs after entering the pitch. Shot a bit weak but a good preformance from Charlie. Over all it was a ok performance from his side. Hammarby defended their 2-0 lead so Charlie did not have that many chances. It is obvious that coach Tony want to take the pressure of Charlie by letting him be a sub. I want him in from start. The victory was so fukn nice, we really needed it and now we still have a shot on the medals. It is really tight. 1 Elfsborg 11 5 4 2 16-11 19 2 Halmstad 10 5 3 2 13-11 18 3 IFK Göteborg 10 5 2 3 17-12 17 4 Djurgården 10 5 1 4 15-10 16 5 Malmö FF 10 4 4 2 13-8 16 6 Kalmar FF 10 5 1 4 15-11 16 7 Hammarby 10 4 3 3 14-7 15 8 Gefle 10 3 4 3 9-11 13 9 Gais 10 3 3 4 8-11 12 10 AIK 10 3 3 4 8-12 12 11 Helsingborg 10 3 2 5 12-13 11 12 Örebro 10 2 5 3 11-13 11 13 Trelleborg 11 3 2 6 11-20 11 14 BP 10 1 3 6 8-20 6

Next match is on saturday already. It is the European cup "Intertoto cup". Its sort of a Mickey Mouse tournament in these early stages where all kinds of shit teams play. Hammarby will meet Klacksvik from Färöarna (that small country somwhere between England and Island...). There are 3 stages in Intertoto cup and 11 teams from Intertoto will get a chance to qualify for the bigger UEFA Cup. Hammarby should win against Klacksvik with there shoelaces tighed togehter, everything else will be a big upset. I´ve been wrong about Charlie in the starting line up before so this time I will say: Charlie will certainly play from start in either the match against Klacksvik or in the Tuesday game against IFK Göteborg (in allsvenskan).

How many teams in the Allsvenskan are from Stockholm or its immediate surroundings? It seems that many of the matches are derbies!
We have 4 teams now Hammarby, aik, djurgården and bp (brommapojkarna). Bp is new in allsvenskan and my tip is they are out after this seson Bp have very few fans so count 3 Stockholms tema. Forzza Hammarby/Bajen
Its very unusual that a forth Stockholm team play in allsvenskan as this year. 2 years ago "Assyriska" was the forth "Stockholm" team. They are described to be the national team of the Assyrian people (since the Assyrian people has not country or national team) and mostly consists of immigrants. Of some reason they managed to play the UEFA cup 2 years ago and the match was televised in 39 different countries where Assyrians was a dominant group. There were several busses with fans comming from different countrys (Germany and so on) to support Assyriska in there home match in the UEFA tournament. Unfortunatly they lost the first stage. That was a bit of topic but might be fun to know about. Anyhow, Hammarby, Djurgården and AIK Solna are the 3 Stockholm teams. The first 2 are from Stockholm City and AIK is from Solna, a suburb to Stockholm. There are other quite good teams in the lower divisions but they have no fans and will probably never get any due to the dominant 3.
There actually was another Yank on that Fareoese (?) team, Kareem Smith, this season, but I think he read that he left. There are still a couple non-American players with U.S. connections there now, however, I believe. I seem to remember reading about them here a short while back when we were all following Bodens BK's run breathlessly in the Leighton O'Brien days...
There are four other YA clubs involved in the Intertoto this year: Blackburn, Aalborg, Hamburg, and Sampdoria http://www.uefa.com/competitions/intertotocup/news/kind=1/newsid=530408.html
Here's a video from the last derby. It has nothing to do with Charlie, just thought you might be interested. http://youtube.com/watch?v=3X2HnPX_-ek
