I can see why Sweden had trouble scoring this year. They don't work the ball down to Larsson and Ibrahimovic. They just boot long balls and hope it bounces to them. Those guys need to touch the ball more.
1. Interesting that in a sporting event of this magnitude, a major TV network while not notice who is starting in goal for one team. I think the announcers are on site. Some are working from the studio.
2. I like the fact that the Swedes went to the trouble of adding the diacritical marks one of the Slavic names: Lučić.
I also think the World Cup has better than average commercials. Adidas and Nike both have nice commercials. The adidas "pick up game" spot is very well-done.
That was a competitive play on a 50-50 ball. I realize it gets called a lot and the referee doesn't have the best perspective but upon further review, the first contact was with the ball. I don't like the call.
This is disastrous. No way you can expect Sweden to advance the way they are playing. If they can't score against T&T, how are they going to do it against Paraguay and England?
What's startling about the Swedes is how inactive they are. The man with the ball and the man on the receiving end of the ball are moving. Nobody else is.

Which was odd since she didn't speak Serbo-Croatian although her parents did.
I'm detecting a genetic link here.
Hislop is having to work now.
who got the red card? Sweden or T&T?

Sweden: 9.016 million
Trinidad & Tobago: 1.065 million
I think Sweden has a big edge in the category of "number of islands" in the country. I think Stockholm has more islands than T&T.
There are a few small ones in T&T aside from the principal two.
The national song is not "Lemon Tree" however.

what's startling is the color of those uniforms. I'd like them to play Oregon.
