EFE
The national team of Sweden, which beat Switzerland 1-0 in the 2018 World Cup round in Russia, returned to the quarterfinals of the World Cup 24 years after his last participation, in the United States 1994, when they finished the tournament as third parties.
Sweden, led by Janne Andersson, may choose to be among the top four teams in the world if she spends her next stint against England. He has already accomplished four times.
Brazil, its executioner
The first three were at the dawn of the competition: in France in 1938 he was fourth with the so-called "steel team" which marked an 8- 0 in Cuba, but fell in the semi-finals with Brazil 4-2; in 1950. The Olympic champion team, in 1948, ran into the "Canarinha". (7-1) but they beat Spain (3-1) to be third.
THE DATA
Sweden and England play on Saturday at 9:00. Eight years later, at the World Cup organized in his own country, with several survivors from 1948 and 1950 led by the trio 'Gre-No-Li' Milan, formed by Gunnar Gren, Gunnar Nordahl and Nils Liedholm, Sweden, met in the final against Brazil. Liedholm overtook the Swedes, but the doublet of Pele and Vava confirmed the title for the & # 39; Canarinha & # 39;
The Last Years
After these vibrant moments, Sweden spent almost four decades crossing the desert and 12 years without a World Cup (from Argentina 1978 to Italy 1990), until the 1994 United States the generation led by forward Tomas Brolin and goalkeeper Thomas Ravelli clashed in the semi-final against Brazil's Romario, Raí and Bebeto. Again, the verdeamarelha dismissed them, with a 1-0.
Since then, they have added two knockout rounds, in South Korea and Japan in 2002 and in Germany 2006, both eliminated, and twelve years without going to a World Cup, until Russia. 2018, where they will play for a semifinal spot against the English national team that beat Colombia.
