    What's that?

    Last time Team Sweden did this well in a year, they got tarted up to near unrecognizability. They didn t this time, and while the meanie in me is sorry to have lost the 'mock the fashion' aspect, at least they mostly looked at ease. (I mean, Fischer, sure, but that's expected.) And big props to Sundhage for simply refusing to play dress-up no matter what.

    Ohoh, wait, 009, is that a Dutch exchange? Got it! Sure, looking forward to it. Absolutely. Euro2017, here we come; lock up your cheeses! (Haha, no, please just sell them all to me.)

    That's just hit the Swedish news. Hope Bayern aren't pulling a Frankfurt-of-old and stacking their benches with underused talent.

    It's the old story, sign as many players as possible so that the other teams can't have them...

    Why am I posting in this thread in 2023, with another tournament in full swing? Because, just to have a giggle, I started trying to see whether I could find footage of Lisa Dahlkvist totally freezing out Hope Solo's attempt to play mind games during penalty kicks by doing a prolonged glove change. Turns out that happened in this tournament, and there's news on this topic! Not exactly new news, but from four years ago, when the BBC had Solo doing commentary for France 2019.

    Basically she says, "the coaches made me do it and destroyed my gloves and I didn't want to." Seriously, wtf. How did I miss this?? :ROFLMAO:

    Tre år har gått.
    Nu förklarar Hope Solo de märkliga scenerna i straffläggningen mot Sverige i OS – och kommer med nya anklagelser.
    – Jag har velat prata om det sedan jag slutade, och jag har skämts sedan dess, säger hon.

    ...

    Enligt Solo ville tränarna att Solo på nytt skulle ta tid på sig – och gjorde handskarna trasiga inför matchen med flit.

    – Målvaktstränaren och huvudtränaren Jill Ellis tog mina handskar och förstörde dem inför matchen, så om jag var tvungen att göra en räddning skulle säga att mina handskar var trasiga. Är det något fel på din utrustning måste de tillåta dig att fixa det. Jag kände mig inte bekväm med det. Jag ville inte göra det, jag var väldigt erfaren som målvakt och jag ville lita på mina instinkter, men våra tränare gjorde konstiga saker på den tiden, vi testade nytt, ny statistik, nya saker. Jag skulle ha sagt nej, jag skulle litat på mina instinkter och jag är ledsen över det, men tränarna fick mig att göra det och jag har skämts sedan dess, säger hon.
