no Frida & no Caroline Näfver, but Ljungberg is back and Sara Thunebro has been added

Cancellation in the squad:

Hanna Ljungberg, groin. >> Josefine Öqvist
Sara Johansson, seek >> Maria Aronsson
Therese Lundin, knee >> Johanna Almgren
Therese Sjögran, groin >> Nilla Fischer

Too bad for Sjögran cos it would be her 100 game

wow - thanks for these.

4 days to go

What do you guys think the score will be?

My prediction: Belarus 0-5 Sweden

how can I complain??? we're back to 5 in the senior squad
but most gutted for Terre 100th cap and all, but Nilla gets her chance & Joey's back

did Terre & Lundin hurt themselves in match against SSK or in training?

prediction:
Sweden 6 - 0 (just like last time)
Schelin x 2
Fagerstrom
Thunebro
Mostrom
Jossan Oqvist [< in any order]

OK, goalscorers too:

Schelin hat-trick
Fagerstrom
and an own goal

^^ Those are my predictions btw

^ what! no Jossan?! lol

actually Sjoa's due a goal - maybe she'll get one, or Larsson with a header
so many choices

Belarus 0 - 6 Sweden

team:
Caroline Jönsson - Sara Larsson, Hanna Marklund, Stina Segerström, Maria Bergkvist (Sara Thunebro, 33) - Linda Fagerström (Josefine Öqvist, 66), Malin Moström, Caroline Seger (Nilla Fischer), Anna Sjöström - Victoria Svensson, Lotta Schelin.

Subs not used: Hedvig Lindahl - Karolina Westberg, Johanna Almgren, Maria Aronsson.

Goals:
0-1 Lotta Schelin (45), 0-2 Victoria Svensson (47), 0-3 Caroline Seger (52), 0-4 Josefine Öqvist (75), 0-5 Victoria Svensson(83) 0-6 Victoria Svensson (85)

Warnings:
Belarus: Volha Noviakva, Svetlana Astasjova. Sweden: Stina Segerström.

Woohoo two LFC players scoring - I told ya Jossan would score on her return to the national team
Lotta again on the score sheet - quality player!
I'm shocked that Svensson managed to remeber where the goal was and get a hattrick but good for her

my prediction was right (0-6) + I predicted Lotta & Jossan would score

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Victoria Svensson helped herself to a hat-trick as Sweden stayed on course for China 2007 with a 6-0 win in Belarus. The veteran striker scored all three goals in the second half, helping her side overcome a sluggish start to win comfortably.

Schelin strike
With just four points to their name from five previous qualifiers, Belarus were not expected to put up much resistance but kept Sweden at bay until a minute before the break when Lotta Schelin struck to relieve Swedish nerves.

Six-point cushion
Svensson grabbed her first two minutes after half-time, then Caroline Seger and Josefine Öqvist got in on the act before Svensson completed her hat-trick with two goals inside the final seven minutes. Sweden take a six-point lead in Group 2 ahead of the Czech Republic, who have a game in hand. Both sides travel to play third-placed Iceland for their next qualifying matches in August.

Well done SWEDEN !!!

What a game it must have been! I can't wait to get the dvd with it

Svensson's hat trick and Oqvist finally making use of her head is something I did not expect

Well done to all of the Swedes - according to a source who was watching the game and texting me during
- it was a helluva game and Sweden played very well as a team

It was also Carre Jonsson's 70th cap - congratulations!

couldnt resist could you!! lol, Jossan scores regulary for LFC & she will do for Sweden

why dont you tell everyone what you know about the goals?
you know like you did on the texts

I deleted the texts - perhaps you still got them, mate?

I only remember that Oqvist's goal was handed to her on a silver platter
as it was a beautiful team work with many players involved,
she just finished it - anybody would
A few minutes later she blew another chance so...

I also remember the two last Vickan's goals were assisted by Anna Sjostrom.

And Seger's goal was supposedly a stunner
[There - I said something nice about your LFC player]

And Lotta knocked the Belarus goalie out
and they had to put (quoting Agent W. here) a half of a toilet roll up her nose

Again: Well done Sweden!

Congrats to Sweden no big surprise there

nope, but I remember the nice texts about LFC players



hahahaha
I hope it wasnt on purpose a la Bouhaddi style
nah Lotta's too nice for that

Sweden are going to the WWC07 (<< not at all premature comment)

This is the squad Thomas Dennerby is taking to the States to play against USA & Canada
The team will have a camp in Minnesota from 11-19 July
15 July the Swede's will play the USA
18 July the Swede's will play Canada
