I think whoever wins the next game will go all the way to the final. England and Sweden are both better than Croatia and Russia from what I've seen in this tournament.
How do you think Zlatan would react to Sweden reaching the final without him?
I thought Sweden was one of the worst teams in the tournament last Euros under Hamren, they have certainly come a long way.
I think he'll be happy for them.
Sweden were terrible under Hamrén, genuinely terrible. I can't stress enough just how terrible they were. Worst generation of players in 40-50 years playing under the dullest, most pointless manager Sweden have ever had. Perhaps they could have gotten an extra game in the Euros in 2016 if they had fired Hamrén back in 2014, but Zlatan was the only player who would have gotten into the opposition pretty much regardless of who they were up against.
He would have enjoyed playing with Lindelöf-Nilsson, Augustinsson and Claesson though. All of them are classy footballers. Forsberg has come into focus too and Granqvist has been given a bigger role since Janne Andersson took over.
