2 weeks ago we played against China. THe match started really bad. China got a penalty at the 14.minutes, and got the lead. After we got another goal from a corner. In the half time finish China got another penalty and the result was 0-3. Grankvist got a score in the second half by Claes Tapper. After Kallstrand got him an assist, Grankvist got 2nd goal. That wasn't enough for us.

U27 team played from us. Some older players sit on the bench. Ake Eklund debut in the NT. He didn't play in the U21 team earlier.

Last week we played against the United Arab Emirates. Some new faces debut in the seniors. L.Bjorklund, R.Hedrén, and S. Stalberg, F. Aberg also played. The opponent dominated in the first half and got 2 goals. A defender got a red card at the opponent so we were lucky. And Grankvist come back as a subs, what increase our goal options. Grankvist got 4 goals from the 6. The new talent Hedrén got one score, and Mans Kallstrand hit his first goal in the National Team.

This week we paly against Hungary. My homecountry have a really hard team. I won't make a risk our top players with good form won't play. I don't want to risk an injury with good form. Some lower form player will play who need to form pop up too or some younger players play with better form only.

(edited)

Let see the NT datebase players futures. I promised to write about them.

Goalkeepers:
(all refreshed)

1.group (I calculated them in the most important matches)

Yngve Jansson
Thord Teofilsson
Jack Rolfsson
Per-Anders-Asgardh
Tobias Swahn
Gunnar Curman
Oskar Kamprad (He have 1-2 in the squad as I feel)
Zebulon Göransson (Maybe this will be his final season in the datebase)

2.group
Jimmy Patricsson (His pace didn't changed in the last 2-3 season)
Oskar Jamtin (His pace didn't changed in the last 2-3 season)
Ivar Frimodig (I found him 1.5 years ago, he hadn't a pace pop up, so only a B option.)

Theses 3 goalkeeper have good keeping, but need pace to play.

3.group

Ivar Stenalv

(The veteran goalkeeper droped on level keepeing skil 1 weeks ago, so he won't play in the NT in the future. He were always in good form, when we needed him, and played a lot, but this year he was in the background).

(edited)

My goalie, Dennis will be at level 17+ in around week 10 (or 11?).
After that there will be 100% pace training for some seasons..

Defenders:
As you can see the best defenders mostly reaced the 30 age. Those defenders here whose not only the pace and tackling good enough (have some passing, technique or playmaking)
1.Group
(Name with age)

Orvar Johansson (32)/b[ (He was one of the best some years ago, but always in bad form. He didn't played in the last 4-5 years.)
[b]Karl-Johan Gyllenstierna (32)
Gunnar Prytz (33) (The veteran Prytz surprisingly on the top at this age. But I feel, he will be drop pace this can be his final season.)
Justus Wiman (30)
Bert Brorsson (33) (He had really fine secondary skills, but he have the same problem as with Orvar Johansson, this can be his final season. His owner Cribban)
Janne Risp (33) (It can be his final season too.)
Teodor Klinte (30)
Tobbe Leonardsson (28)
Paul Lundhgren (30)
Maximilian Brakenhielm (31) (He played mostly as a substitution, he droped one level pace nowadays, so he won't play in the National team as I feel or maybe 1-2 not serious matches in this year.)
Glenn Grönlund (27) (He is our best defender with really high technique. The biggest problem his form, thats why he rarely played last yer. We would need him so much in the World Championship.)
Rasmus Liv (29)
Morgan Ankarsvard (28)(Mostly in bad form, thats why he didn't played. The owner Sick_Madness)

2.Group
These players good for the important matches, but lower secondary skills.

Bert Bylund (27)
Greger Jonson (27)
Sven-Ake Lewenhaupt (30)
Ake Eklund (27) (He got into the datebase in this year and debut in the National team)
Teodor Guillou (29) (He got into the datebase in this year, but haven't played yet)

3.Group

Mathias Jamtin (28) (I didn't get a refreshing letter about him.)
Kurt Hallberg (27) (He get into the datebase in the last 1.5 season he ned 1-1 level pace and technique)
August Andberger (28) (He was a promising defender, but he didn't got the 1-1 level pace and tackling, what would be really important)

Weine Trosell (25) (He was a promising defender, but he didn't get pace and tackling skill, so maybe won't be play in the National Team, this could be the final chance to got some training.)
Herbert Bonnier (25) (He need 3 level tackling skill to play in the NT in serious matches)
Jonte Butter (24) (I didn't get a refreshing letter about him, so don't know what about his pace, what he need)
Leo Dahlgran(24) (He need 2 level pace and one level tackling minimum to play, he will be on the datebase in the U27 Eurpe Championship.)
Marten Prytz (24) (He need more pace to play.)
Nils Elofsson (24) ( He play in my team. He will shortly pop up pace, after he need 1 level tackling to play in important matches. He was 2 times on the bench, but haven't debut in the senior NT. He will go to the U27 championship. I will start the tackling training next week.)
Noah Huberthus (22) (He need a lot of training)
Tompa Hurtig (25) (I don't know what about him)
Adrian Sanfridsson (31) (He is on the datebase, but there are better defenders, who can play)

(edited)

Strikers:

1.Group (They could play in the WC first)

Tor-Arne Alvebring (31)
Tommy Oscarsson (31)
Karl Ludvigsson (29)
Rolf Lord (30) (His owner Virve)
Arne Möller (28)
Mans Grankvist (27) (His owner Virve)

2.Group

Roger Vidarsson (29) (He is the first choice in the second group)
Wille Edholm (30) (His goalskill a little bit lower so second option)
Berra Thunebro (29) (He is a second option to play. His owner Virve)
Lucas Gyllenas (29) (Good enough to play if the bests in bad form. Similar caliber player as Vidarsson)

3.Group

Robbban Lismare (32) (His speed is not good enough to play, and he is too old.
Nils-Erik Garp (26) (I always write a letter, but I never get an answer about the skills)
Anders Birgersson (27) (Virve train him. Need him 3 level pace to play.)
Staffan Koll (32) (Now he is too old, he droped pace)
Roland Hamilton (26) (I didn't get a letter about his skills to refresh)
Konstantin Larsson (28) (He isn't good enough to play)
Fredrik Mogemark (27) (He won't play in the future, he dodn't get training)
Robban Hedrén (He just debut in the seniors, the owner train him, he have big future, he will go the U27 WC)
Bo Berglöv (23) (I didn't get a refreshing letter about him.)
Jesper Malmqvist (25) (In this yaer I got his skills in correct language. I can say he isn't good enough, his technique too low)

(edited)

I will continue with the midfielders on the weekend or the next week. I didn't saw the 22 age players only 3 players from the last U21 team.

Before the World Cup started we played against Hungary. They are in the first 10 team in the WC ranking table, so our chances wasn't too good. I feel our tactic wasn't bad, but we needed really big luck for the draw. The opponent dominated and won the match easily.
There will be similar storng team in our group as Hungary.

Group F

Österreich (6)
Hellas (9)
Belgie (19)
Sverige (41)

This is our WC Group. You can see the ranking place after the teams. Österreich the best in the ranking. But I feel Belgium have the strongest squad, and Hellas too. Our squad is much weaker then the others, so every match will be a pleasure without pressure.

We start against Belgium tomorrow.

Feel no preassure, good luck! :)

Belgians are known to use illegial substanses (i.e. Belgian Blue is a well known fact).
You did your very best and deserve a lot of creds from Swedish community!
Good Luck in the future!

Thank you Bagarn! Well, I didn't want to go against Belgium with a safety tactic in the first match. I made risk. We went with 4-3-3 formation. Belgium came 5-3-2 with a winger. Well, thats true the opponent was better, but if I see the goals what we got the 0-5 is too much. The match could have started well, but we missed some really serious goal options. Conny Hysén gave a big trhrouh pass to Möller, he went one and one against the keeper and missed it. After in the 12.minutes Grankvist played himself clean between two defenders, and he was one and one against the keeper, the goal option missed. after the rebound Ludvigson hit next to the bar. At the 23.minutes Meysmans shoot far from the gate nothing special. At the 26.minutes a far shoot from Belgium again, it was more serious, he hit out it only. At this minutes they had another goal options, after Meysmans got long pass, and he headed the ball from 6-7 meter, but Rolfsson safed. At the 30.minutes Belgium lead with 1-0 after Smekens long pass Meysmans headed a goal across Rolfsson hand, maybe Rolfsson could catch it, I don't know.
At the 32.minutes we got an incredible goal, after Rolfsson safed a shot what he hit out, our defenders could kicked out. As we can see the our defender started to run, after finsh the runing, and behind the Belgian striker run, and got a goal from the rebound, this is really incredible. The result could be 1-,but now 2-0. At the 43.minutes Vandendrisscl crossed on the wing, and give a big ball Shollen who headed a correct goal. The first half was 0-3. There were more Belgiam goal options.
Athe 47.minutes BElgium had a really serious goal option, but we had luck.
At the 52. minutes Schollen shoot from long range, Rolfsson couldn't catched it, only hit in front of the Belgian striker, and Meysmans need to shoot the ball into the empty gate.
At the 61.minutes Möller show a big solo run on the wing, after the cross he get into the ball inito the middle. One and one with the kepper, hi hit the ball into the goalkeeper. This was a big option for the goal. At the 64.minutes Scieur give a long pass in the air, I feel it an easy safe, but no, Rolfsson didn't catched it and Harpoel get the 5th Blegian goal. I feel this isn't Rolfsson day, but in earlier match he safed really well, and everybody can have bad match sometimes.

At the 67.minutes we got very near to a goal, after a through pass, we missed a really serious one and one, the Belgian keeper safed well. At the 68.minutes Grankvist from far, but easy safe...
After this there were nothing special. If we see the statistics, this was a similar match as we played against Hungary.
