    Alright - they're through to the playoff. Who do you NOT want them to face? For me, it's Norway. Stay away from them, and take on any other challengers.

    Very much agree. In matches between Sweden and Norway the best team (according to internationall ranking) tends to lose and since Sweden currently is ranked highest of the two...

    OK, they were seeded into pots:

    Pot 1: Sweden, France, Norway and England
    Pot 2: Denmark, Italy, Ukraine and Switzerland

    Naturally, would prefer to stay away from Italy, then Denmark, but would be happy facing either Ukraine or Switzerland.

    I prefer if we can stay away from Denmark. Italy is ok and Ukraine and Switzerland close to dream draws.

    2-1 over Denmark at home, but trailing 0-2 at the half away.

    Nail-biting moments for the Swedes.

    And they got one back in the second half to finish regular time at 1-2, for a 3-3 aggregate and even on away goals, sending it to overtime.

    Sweden then scored the lone goal in overtime to take the 4-3 aggregate win, and send the team to Germany. Woohoo!!!!
