Significant information
Sverige have more users then we have and have recently overtaken us on the national team rankings. Sverige finished 3rd in the Mini World Cup, only losing to Uruguay in a closely fought match. Only time we played them was during our first ever world cup match back when Sriram was managing and we managed a 0 - 0 draw.

In Sverige's last 5 games they've scored 25 goals, whilst only conceding 10. (Although a few of those came from their penalty shootout loss to Uruguay) Sverige come into this with 4 wins and 1 loss from their past 5 games, with the following record:

(W) Srbija
(L) Uruguay
(W) Ireland
(W) Island
(W) Indonesia

For Australia, we've recently been knocked out of the world cup without registering a single point or goal for that matter. From our past 5 matches we've only scored 2 goals whilst conceding 14. Had difficulty scoring, although we broke the drought with 2 goals against Venezuela in an U21 match if that's any sign of things to come. Our record has been woeful to say the least.

(W) Venezuela
(L) Ireland
(L) Italia
(L) Slovensko
(L) Norge

The amount of shots squandered or chances not taken has been painfully high, but last week a few goals were taken. What the result of this week shall be, only time will tell.

all pure guesses :P

Can we have the team summaries along with the questions please?

That's the point :p.

The team summaries as in what I did during the qualification season last season?

Maybe similar, but it doesn't have to be long, just so we can get an overview of the strengths of each team, and possible realistic results ;)

Also, a link to the Sweden national team page would be nice, since I'm lazy :P
