"There are certainly things we can do better"

A few minutes after the closing signal, Janne Andersson gathered his players in a ring on the field. But peppers did not help. After a while, they moved away from the World Cup in Russia with a shot in the eyes of sad supporters.

Last of all Victor Nilsson Lindelöf sat alone on the Swedish trading bench and looked at the green

And the Janne Andersson confederation was disappointed – but still satisfied:

– We meet a heavy team and well organized but it will be the corners of the game, we have three chances to score but we do not put them in trouble. We do not arrive at the last one today. We will be proud and happy. Janne Andersson told SVT after the match

Janne Andersson also stated that he thought Sweden was part of the match in a good way:

– There are certainly things that we could do better and that we can regret, but the guys have done a good job today.

Andreas Granqvist also made him white when asked after the match:

All the honors guys, but today we did not really reach the level we showed before. And it is clear that it is hard to lose but I also feel a great pride. But England is winning just today, says Granqvist, who will now put Janne Andersson on his future in the national team.

But chances were and Sweden started as the team wanted, managed to slow down act dubiously. And Sweden has contradicted. But even though the Swedish attack tests were rare and short, they were there and in 12 minutes, Russian prosecutor Victor Claesson dropped a shot just yards off Jordan Pickford's ribs.

But worse than it did not happen in the first period and Pickford showed himself out of control in the goal. Most attacks against Swedish attackers stuck in the red wall of England or were unbalanced. Many passes went from yellow to red and Swedish chances became the biggest chances.

However, had only 56-44 possession of the ball in England when the match was over.

For England, it was the permanent situation that again gave a dividend. At 29 minutes of play, Harry McGuire nicknamed him 1-0 in England on a corner where Emil Forsberg passed after and never managed to stop the long Englishman. England is better at the corner of all the teams of the World Cup so far.

And Sweden was forced to invite England to several turns

For Sweden, Marcus Berg had three great chances, but as earlier in this World Cup, Berg did not succeed

After 25 minutes of play, but very hesitant for the offside, he won a duel in the English penalty area early in the second period, but Pickford achieved a remarkable rescue of one hand. A third opportunity came when Berg hit with a shot over in a tight position in the second half.

But Marcus Berg left the World Cup with zero goals.

For England, there was a better dividend. Alli's shares went 2-0 completely without scoring when he had time to return the ball beyond Robin Olsen early in the second period.

Two nickels then the rise was long and steeped in a game where he was often slow and the team backed up and where a last free kick in good condition was pulled by Ludwig Augustinsson.

Then Ola Toivonen and Emil Forsberg were long replaced by Martin Olsson and John Guidetti. But the difference became weak in a very cool quarter final, where many left and filmed and there were few shots.

Maybe too little.
