Previously, Germany and Mexico have become two more favored countries to move to the next phase. Germany has always broken a group stage record over the past 80 years, while Mexico has consistently done the same since 1994.
The success of Sweden "supplanting" one of the leading teams is both an affirmation of their strength that has been seen as early as the qualifying phase.
Entered the European Zone Qualifying Group A with France, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Luxembourg and Belarus, Sweden managed to get the finalist status by accumulating 19 points.
The number of points is actually the same as that of the Netherlands, but they have a higher goal difference than the Orange team. Sweden has a collection of 17 goals while the Netherlands nine.

For the record, Sweden could only hold a 1-1 draw at home against the Netherlands and then lose 0-2 on the outside. However, against matches against teams on paper, Sweden managed to collect the chests of goals, unlike the Netherlands.
For example, against Luxembourg. When Sweden managed to throw them 8-0, the Netherlands could only win 3-1.
Sweden's decision to 'get rid' of these big teams continues in the 2018 World Cup leg against Italy.
At home, Sweden won 1-0 while during a visit to Milan, they managed to reduce the score to 0-0. Sweden also pocketed tickets for Russia while Italy had to wince at home.

Facing the last game of Group F, Sweden has the burden of having to win with a big score because they lost head-to-head with Germany. In addition, on paper, Germany is superior to South Korea, so there are potentially three teams that collect six points after the last melakoni match.
The difference and the productivity of the objectives will determine the fate of the three.
Sweden then responded to the challenge with a 3-0 win while Germany crushed against South Korea.
The coach is not only happy with the final score, but also the Swedish look.
"I'm really proud, even moved by our performances in the game, they are very disciplined with everything they do," said Janne Andersson.

Meanwhile, 33-year-old defender Andreas Granqvist, also a Swedish mengapteni, shed tears after the match.
"It did not seem real, it was a very impressive match, we were very disappointed after the defeat against Germany, but our performances are really good," Granqvist said.
In the last 16 meetings, Sweden will face Switzerland on a piece of paper that it can also defeat.
The last time Sweden played in the last 16 of the World Cup was in 2006. At that time, they bowed Germany 0-2.
