Nilla Fischer's home village saluted her for making it to the World Cup,
by placing a Swedish flag at the local church

Sweden stay optimistic

Sweden coach Thomas Dennerby has remained positive despite losing a number of key players for the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Speaking after naming a 21-woman squad bereft of Caroline Jönsson, Josefine Öqvist and Frida Nordin to travel to China, Dennerby said: “It’s obviously a big blow to lose these players, but we have a strong squad and should be able to fight for medals.”

Umeå FC's Madelaine Edlund and Djurgårdens IF FF’s Linda Forsberg profited those injuries and are now determined to impress. "This is great," said Forsberg, capped once. "It's an adventure and I'll do my best to win a place in the starting XI. If not I'll support the other girls as well as I possibly can."

Legendary striker Hanna Ljungberg is also included despite continued injury problems. "Hanna is fighting her way back and we all know what she's capable of, so I'm in a good mood," Dennerby added.

Ready to take on the world

which song?

Except Carre's, who's not ready to take on the World

I don't know the title of it, the MFF team were singing it with some Swedish singer
and the refrain goes somewhat like: "We are Malmo MFF!!"
Does anyone know a good site for uploading mp3s?

ah, I know which you mean. Cos I made that song...

rofl haha

hahaha D'oh!

A.S...theres a nice button up there beginning with a " D "

Dehors ?

Don't worry - if Agent S doesn't like it, it's probably good

I have got to see the escape for this one

Unbelievable how you guys can wag the dog sometimes

The song is good, the lead singer sings well too
but what I meant by disaster is that the team doesn't really sound like a choir
but that's because they are footballers, not professional singers.
The idea itself and the song are good.
I've never said I didn't like it - show me where I say these words.
If I don't like it, why is it still in my mp3 player after all these years?

So nanananana at all of you

It's not a bad song - could have done ok in the Eurovision Song contest

Yes, I'm visiting twmcat right now and let him listen to the song
- he looked like this while listening:

Only compared to the UK contribution

haha I didn't mean that you have to like it. There's a reason why the girls play football and not are singers... I remember when we record it, and we which was in the recording room had to listened to the girls without music... Sometimes I really got white in the face, it sounds like something from a horror movie..

Haha then you know what I was talking about

But the song itself kicks (_._) Especially the guitar solo near the end

Now you're gonna say you played it

Talking your way outta trouble....eeesh I dunno

That applies to any song! - I meant better than that

Ain't I just bwilliant?

Sure are

Don't encourage her Floody
