Wonder why Sweden hasn't been able to leverage young, diverse population as much as other Euro countries? Perhaps what Ostersunds FK did with their team may be a sign of things to come.

I remember when Henok Goitom ( Eritrean:jawalrus:) scored like 11 or 13 goals in a La Liga season and still got passed over by the national team for average players in Allsvenskan that didnt do shyt. It actually sparked debate in swedish sports media if there was some discrimination in the national team. Then later in his career he said fukk it and went to play for the eritrean national team :mjlol::mjlol::wow:

I seen some people say that this coach was on some :mjpls: but tbh this team did a good job in qualifiers knocking out Italy, Netherlands and beating France so I get why he would keep the same team for the wc. Its a boring team to watch but its pretty strong defensively. Tbh the only black players that deserved to get picked were Ken Sema and Robin Quaison

Sweden has a very small black population.

I know,I've been to Sweden. Im referring to their young population of immigrants (and their descendants) from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Eritrea, Balkans etc.


Read through the squad list for this club who did well at the Europa League last year. Almost all first/second generation immigrants born in Sweden. Östersunds FK - Wikipedia I suspect the makeup of their squad will eventually change with time as kids like Alexander Isak mature Alexander Isak - Wikipedia

Whats the deal with Alexander Isak? I guess they couldnt justify the call-up with too little pitch time qwith Dortmund?

As a Panamanian rooting for the mother land, what are our chances against Belgium?
Slim to none Im afraid. Belgium struggles against bigger opponents but often beat up on small ones. I wouldnt be surprised if we see a high score with this formation.
