    Fotbollskanalen has gotten into the act, with this piece about Team Sweden's unlikely journey to where they are now. I had remembered the qualification round of course, but I had forgotten that the only reason they even got into that in the first place was because three other UEFA teams also crapped out in the WWC15 quarterfinals. Not that any of those losses were of themselves startling, but still.

    I wish I were about to embark on margaritas ala kickedinthehead, or even better rhubarbaritas, but I think I'd better have some coffee at this point.

    "Fotbollskanalen"


    That sounds so dirty, but alas, so does its German equivalent of Fussballkanal.

    various well-knowns just were on a tv ad to wish the team good luck — among those were Öqvist in a car, with a baby, and Marklund in a house with no kids visible but it sounded like there were about 5 rugrats underfoot in the near vicinity. A fecund lot, Swedish footballers.

    Sweden should be wearing blue socks. Do I detect an ombre effect on the Swedish shirts or is that the margarita kicking in? The red unis are groovy though. Both trainers look like alcoholics, someone had to say it.

    Romanian commentators impressed with Sweden so far. Except Hedvigs faux pas.

    I stan too hard for Fischer to cheer against Sweden. I just hope they score a few goals tonight.

    Well, they're certainlynot staying home, lots of offside. Hope that's not a bad mistake... Like it almost was just a moment ago.

    Lugna dig, Jakobsson!

    But it's not the same without Öqvist bombing down the right flank... just not the same
