Lol, that's a funny idiom! What eaxactly does it mean? Does it refer to the stink a buried dog's corpse would spread, although not visible?
We also know "Da ist der Hund begraben" in German. Here is an explanation ( in German) https://www.swr.de/wissen/1000-antworten/kultur/da-liegt-der-hund-begraben-100.html A black dog was buried next to a treasure who should protect the treasure so that nobody will find it. If you know where the dog is buried you also know where the treasure is. You found the cause of the problem.
You think I'm an oldie sighting, how about this oldie sighting from one of the stories in the Göteborg newspaper a couple days ago: (the grey hairs must be from dealing with all this bureaucratic drivel — age can't possible have anything to do with it)
Bronsman's announcement was given in such a way that certainly gave an air of amateurish-ness, as a recent new sponsor said in this article (the sponsor sounds absolutely floored and angry, and it's possible he's an actual fan). But it's all worked out somehow, and we will see the team in 2021, "under what name is still unclear." (Thumbs held that we will in fact be allowed to see the team play.)
The members of BK Häcken voted YES today to bringing Göteborg FC in to the club. 416 Yes votes and 35 No votes so a big majority wanted this. Göteborg FC needs to vote yes themselves tomorrow but surely they will, so this means the champions should definitely be saved now. BK Häcken has been the most successful Gothenburg club on the men's side the past few years and seem willing to invest quite a bit of money into this takeover. As they already have a women's team in div 2 they will have to be called something slightly different for the first year I think, surely some awkward combo of names .
Göteborg FC also voted yes today of course so now it's a done deal. New name will be BK Häcken FF, so not a very awkward name after all, just the added FF. (Unless you spell it out completely of course, which is pretty much Ball Club Häcken Football Club ). A lot better than the current Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC really. Team will be using the same stadium and training facilities as the men's team, which are lightyears better than the rundown stadium they've been playing at. Some talk of a bigger budget for the team too, but remains to be seen.
Now, I want to hear again from @jocasta and @Smulan to know what they think about the conclusion of this story.
was wondering how good is Goteberg's Julia Koddar?(Washington Spirit fans want to know!) noticing too Sweden's dynamite duo of Asllani & Jakobsson burning up the S[anish League; Real Madrid is currently in 2nd place(after only 10th in their first year). Asslani(made apparently the central striker) got 9 goals(5th highest in the league) Jakobsson with 6 goals & 7 assists(2nd highest). Here's video of their last game, Jakobsson(simply the most underrated woso player in the last decade) dominates play
I don't know what to compare her to but Julia Roddar is a good player, had a pretty strong season, but not the star of the league or anything like that. Not the star of Goteborg either really but played pretty much every match and is in and out of the Sweden squads, mainly used at central mid or wingback. Will probably fit in in the NWSL, she has a kind of American style of play and mentality.
Sveindís Jane has score her first goal for Kristianstad in a friendly against Hacken. The goal came on the 15th minute. https://ljsp.lwcdn.com/api/video/em...46447&pi=f896ca54-6c83-4956-aceb-67f2abe8c950
Not really Damallsvenskan but close enough. Svenska Fotbollförbundet (SvFF), that is the Swedish FA so corresponding to United States Soccer Federation (USSoccer), elected their new board yesterday. For the first time in their 117 year of history it have a majority of women in it. https://svff.svenskfotboll.se/nyheter/2021/03/en-majoritet-kvinnor-i-styrelsen-efter-forbundsmotet/ (in Swedish) Summary: Chairman, man same one as before representing the Götaland region local districts (incluing Gothenburg and Malmö) a man same one as before representing the Svealand region local districts (including Stockholm) a women new at the post representing the Norrland region local districts a women new at the post representing the top Male clubs a man and a women both new at their posts representing the top Female clubs a women same one as before
Wow. That is amazing, kind of gives you hope and wind in your sails. It's good to know some countries do more than promote gender equity as window dressing that is nothing more than that.
Transfer window is now closed in Sweden and round 1 of Damallsvenskan just over a week away. Here are the three signings for each club that I find best / most interesting to watch this season: AIK Hanoka Hayashi (Japan, 1 cap), central midf. from Cerezo Osaka Sakai Ladies Hallbera Gísladóttir (Iceland WNT), left back from Valur Caroline Murray (USA), midfielder from Sunnanå BK Häcken Johanna Rytting Kaneryd (Sweden WNT), midfielder from Rosengård Luna Gevitz (Denmark WNT), centre-back from Guingamp Dylan Holmes (Australia), def/mid from Adelaide United Djurgården Elizabeth Addo (Ghana WNT), midfielder from North Carolina Courage Daniela Zamora (Chile WNT), winger from Universidad de Chile Hayley Dowd (USA), forward from Morön Eskilstuna United Emma Holmgren (Sweden WNT), goalkeeper from Uppsala Emma Östlund (Sweden U23), centre-back from Örebro Felicia Saving (Sweden U19), central midfielder from Hammarby FC Rosengård Stephanie Labbé (Canada WNT), goalkeeper from North Carolina Courage Olivia Schough (Sweden WNT), winger from Djurgården Ria Öling (Finland WNT), midfielder from Växjö DFF Hammarby Madelen Janogy (Sweden WNT), winger/forward from Piteå Elise Kellond-Knight (Australia WNT), def/mid from Kristianstad Eva Nyström (Finland WNT), centre back from Umeå IK KIF Örebro Jenna Hellstrom (Canada WNT), winger from Washington Spirit Cecilía Rán Rúnarsdóttir (Iceland WNT), goalkeeper from Fylkir Berglind Rós Ágústsdóttir (Iceland WNT), def/mid from Fylkir Kristianstads DFF Sveindís Jane Jónsdóttir (Iceland WNT), forward/winger on loan from Wolfsburg Miranda Nild (Thailand WNT), forward on loan from OL Reign Emma Petrovic (Serbia U23), midfielder from Eskilsminne Linköpings FC Cornelia Kapocs (Sweden U23), midf/fw from Uppsala Heidi Ellingsen (Norway WNT), central midfielder from LSK Kvinner Therese Simonsson (Sweden U23), forward from Umeå IK Piteå IF Anam Imo (Nigeria WNT), forward from FC Rosengård Jennie Nordin (form. Sweden U23), centre-back from Växjö DFF Hlín Eiríksdóttir (Iceland WNT), winger from Valur Vittsjö GIK Clare Polkinghorne (Australia WNT), centre-back from Brisbane Roar Emily Gielnik (Australia WNT), forward from Brisbane Roar Julia Tunturi (Finland WNT), midfielder from Eskilstuna United Växjö DFF Shannon Woeller (Canda WNT), centre-back from Valencia Andrea Mist Pálsdóttir (Iceland WNT), midf/fw from FH Evelina Duljan (Sweden U19), midfielder on loan from Kristianstad
The correct spelling is Honoka Hayashi. And I can confim to you that she's a very interesting player: she's U-20 World Champion 2018 (check out below her goal vs USA in that tournament; incidentally I saw that game live in France) and she's been recently called in Senior NT (frendly match vs Paraguay that will be played tomorrow).
They're back, and a new way to watch: ▶ OBOS Damallsvenskan: Hammarby - BK Häcken formerly Göteborg - Wnited.tv (sign-in needed) "The Wnited team is thrilled to be offering you select top matchups from the Swedish women’s league, OBOS Damallsvenskan, on a weekly basis. Follow some of the world's best talents and international profiles as they clash for the national title and 3 UWCL qualification spots - LIVE and VOD - free of charge. These matches will be available in select territories worldwide. This specific match is geo-blocked in the following countries: Sweden, Mexico and Venezuela." No more pirating of SVT for me! well, maybe for old times' sake. That streaming site is co-owned by Red Bee (Ericsson), which may explain the Swedish connection.
Very much enjoying this new age of Swedish league coverage (that they've geoblocked in Sweden, I'm really sorry) The game on 2 May even had unnecessary beauty shots of the Stockholm Olympic Stadium, it's such a picturesque place. (sorry) 2 May: Djurgården - AIK full match / Highlights: Damallsvenskan site / Match report: SVT.se (Archive) 7 May: Kristianstad - Vittsjö full match / Highlights: Damallsvenskan (L.G.foto, cc-by-sa) Sweden still has its coverage on the Sportbladet site, I think, and SVT will show 14 games after the Olympics. In actual news of football, the league leaders are Rosengård with four wins in four games. Kristianstad (2nd) drew a game with Eskilstuna in the first week while Linköping lost 1-0 to Rosengård, but Linköping are in 3rd place after beating Häcken and (yesterday) Piteå, 4-3! The home team led 4-0 in the first half, but Piteå reached 4-3 in the final moments with a screaming free-kick from the halfway line by Norwegian goalkeeper Guro Pettersen (as posted by @Bauser). One club who beat Rosengård (in the cup) are Häcken - they won that semi-final 1-0, and Häcken became 2021's Svenska Cupen winners yesterday, with a 3-0 final victory over Eskilstuna.
5 games in and nothing really surprising so far in Damallsvenskan. The expected top teams are all already at the top and those expected to struggle are all at the bottom. Looks like Rosengård will be the team to beat this year. Top scorers so far with 4 goals each: Kanu (Linköping), Schough (Rosengård), Blackstenius (Häcken)
More WNT than Damallsvenskan but after Sweden vs Norway 1-0 on Thursday Caroline Seger now share most caps in Sweden with Therese Sjögran at 214. And most in Europe with Birgit Prinz (Germany) and Therese Sjögran.
The league is back today after the international matches. Rounds 6–8 saw some movement: Häcken up to 2nd place, promoted club Hammarby up to 5th, and Rosengård remain 1st by five points, as each of those teams recorded two wins and a draw. Hammarby beat Djurgården and Kristianstad (KDFF are knocked down to 4th). Hammarby's Madelen Janogy won player of the month with three goals in the victories, while in a 3-3 draw Linköping's Fischer got her first goal since returning to the Swedish league. LFC are still 3rd but have drawn four games in a row. Hammarby 3 - 2 Djurgården - (Madelen Janogy 7', Emma Jansson 49'p, 82' / Elizabeth Addo 8', Hayley Dowd 77') https://www.obosdamallsvenskan.se/play/video/124011 Linköping 3 - 3 Hammarby - (Sofie Bredgaard 17', 32', Nilla Fischer 51' / Emilia Larsson 4', Emma Jansson 27', Matilda Vinberg 62') www.obosdamallsvenskan.se/play/video/124686 Kristianstad end Rosengård's 7-game winning run with a 0-0 draw, but not before Rosengård went and won 7-0 at AIK (8th) in the 7th match round. The league leaders have retained Jelena Čanković with a new 4-year contract at Rosengård, despite interest from "several big clubs", in the same week when the midfielder scored for Serbia in a win. In 2nd place, Häcken have suffered a blow in attack, as Pauline Hammarlund tore her ACL during a 3-0 win vs Eskilstuna. Near the bottom, Piteå (10th) beat Djurgården (11th), and Piteå had a 1-0 loss to Rosengård and a goalless game at Häcken. In last place Växjö (12th) have only 2 points, with a 0-0 result vs Linköping. (For some reason, the match reports often give an attendance of "8" exactly, which is unusual, even given the closed stadiums, etc. Are they the same 8 people every time, or...?) Today, Sunday 20 June, the match on Wnited is Häcken v AIK (13:00 GMT).
Until june 1st spectators where allowed but no more than 8, so naturally pretty much all had 8. Now it is 500 or for small areans 100 (but the later shouldn't include any of Damallsvenskans).
Damallsvenskan taking an Olympic break now, time for an update! Rosengård and Häcken will be battling it out for the title. No other team is going to challenge. Will be interesting to see what happens to Rosengård now that they have lost their coach to Arsenal and several starters (Viggosdottir, Björn, Anvegård) also leaving during the break.They are signing German veteran Bianca Schmidt and Eskilstuna star Loreta Kullashi. Häcken has so far signed Danish internationals Stine Larsen and Mille Gejl to cope with the potentially busy fall schedule of league and hopefully Champions League group stage. Hammarby is the most exciting newly promoted team for a long time. They are one of the big Swedish clubs on the men's side and they also have ambitions for their women's team. Great start and holding the 3rd CL spot during the break. They have played entertaining football and they also have the most dedicated fans in the league by a fair margin, all other teams must be green with envy. Some 300-400 fans travelled the 200km to support them for the away match against KIF Örebro yesterday, very impressive! Nice celebrations after the win too: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=341562297465665 I expect a big battle for that 3rd CL spot though and they are chased by a whole bunch of teams. Kristianstad (very up and down so far) are closest and they will soon be hosting the mini tournament with Brøndby, Bordeaux and Slavecko in their CL debut. Near the bottom we have Piteå, the champions of 2018, with another poor season. But should be ok as only one team gets demoted this season as the league is expanded to 14 teams next season. Not a fan of that idea, their are not enough teams willing/able to invest enough money. Newly promoted Hammarby rivals AIK also have a big men's club backing them but not nearly the same support or hype around them. Several important players missing for them lately and they are free falling with a GD of 0-16 in the last 4 games. Växjö have not been awful but they can't score. 3 goals in 12 matches, ok that is awful. They have signed Finnish Internationals Juliette Kemppi and Adelina Engman in hope to better this, but they weren't exactly big scorers the last time they played in Damallsvenskan. Official goals and assists:
