Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Very slick from the Dutch.

tazmania

Sweden getting fucked now. This is a battering

Claudius

Turning ugly. Poor Klaus

Big Willie Champ

Isak just cost his team a fourth goal by giving the ball away so cheaply whilst on the attack.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Big Willie Champ he's garbo.

tazmania

Sweden's defense is non existent. So bad

USArsenal

Wow...

4-0.. I expected it to be a little closer than this.

IBL

Noni's twin gets one back for Sweden, good goal

USArsenal

Well, Elanga subbed on, and the put through on goal and he scores..

4-1

Mirth

Shows how good Japan are

awooga83

Sweden haven't been that great generally and they had punched a bit above their weight so the first game probably showed an unrepresentative outcome.

Mirth

This all feels very Graham Potter tbh

Burnwinter

Mirth It all went Potter-shaped

Gurgen

Gyokeres has played an almost flawless game. Doesn’t deserve this ass whooping

lorddulaarsenal

NIke kits really are trash these days

Mirth

Fucking this is the worst defending I’ve seen at the WC.

And that includes the Germany game

Dom

So I've never been to Sweden and don't watch Sweden's matches outside the World Cup, but both of my parents are ethnically Swedish and thanks to a combination of Underdog Effect and temporary diasporic identity I'm feeling the same flavour of humiliation as the 8-2 defeat at Old Trafford.

Recent history says if you hire Graham Potter, you get a full Graham Potter experience. It's extra embarrassing because they're getting clowned on by a bunch of Dutch meatheads coached by a guy who almost makes Alan Pardew look like an intellectual and whose assistant coach is Ruud Van Nistelrooy.

Gurgen

When guys like Brobbey, Gakpo and Summerville are scoring freely against you, you really have to start asking questions

awooga83

Gurgen they finished bottom of their qualification table I think, they are lucky to have got to the finals really.

GooneriC

I havent really watched Summerville that much in the league but he has been impressive in the friendlies and in the two games so far.

Mirth

GooneriC yeah he’s not that good

MistaT

GooneriC he shredded the Championship with Leeds, and while that was as a dominant team he did stamp out a position/role ahead of other talented players.

He's been middling with West Ham but did return 7 goals and 5 assists in 34 games this year.

I think there's talent there but concerns about him being light weight against deep block teams. Lacking the power of Martinelli and the verve of Trossard, he'd almost be a hybrid of the two.
