The World Cup qualifiers are about to usher in a new round of competition, in the most eye-catching European division, the world's 17th Sweden will usher in the Czech Republic challenge, this is a single round robin format of the knockout round, the winning side will be led by Levan, the Poland team that wins without a fight will compete for a World Cup ticket, and the losing side will usher in the same ending as the national football team, that is, the early failure to qualify for the World Cup.
Sweden is a well-known powerhouse in Europe, currently ranked 12th, and has exactly 12 times in history to qualify for the World Cup, with the best result being runner-up. In the previous first stage of the World Preliminary Tournament, Sweden was unfortunately divided with Spain, which also led to the team finally only achieving the second place result and falling into the play-offs. However, in the play-offs, Sweden and the Czech Republic are in the same group, and the teams in the same region are Russia and Poland. This allowed Sweden to be lucky to avoid italy, Portugal and other popular teams, and their probability of qualifying for the World Cup increased greatly.
However, due to FIFA's announcement that Russia has lost its qualification, the Polish team was able to win the showdown with Russia without a fight and advance directly to the next round, which also made Sweden's 59-year-old coach Anderson extremely angry. He believes that this is not in line with the world preliminary competition promotion process, FIFA should rearrange a matching opponent for Poland to achieve fair competition, but now that the facts have become a foregone conclusion, Sweden and the Czech Republic can only envy Poland's good luck. Sweden can only compete with Poland and kick them off the World Cup stage if they go all out to beat the Czech Republic.
Good news is that Sweden have been unbeaten in three meetings with the Czech Republic in history, with scores of 3-3, 2-1 and 1-1 respectively. It can be seen that in the face of the Czech Republic' opponent, the Swedish team still has a lot of experience. This time it is at home again, which has a great psychological advantage for the Swedish team. Not to mention that the sharp edge Ibrahimovic is also in the line of fire, which is enough to show his determination to attack the World Cup again, the last play-off, Ibrahimovic lost to Portugal led by C Ronaldo, which made Dafengxian very unhappy.
For the majority of fans, it is extremely hopeful that Sweden will be able to beat the Czech Republic and thus challenge Poland in the next round. As the world's first center, Levan, his previous many speeches have made the outside world feel very "disgusting", and his popularity and reputation have also declined significantly. The Swedish team led by Ibrahimovic undoubtedly plays a role as a challenger, and now at the age of 40, he can lead the team to defeat the two major European teams in the Czech Republic and Poland in succession, so as to make a strong advance into the World Cup, which is undoubtedly a good story in football.
Judging from the world rankings, the Swedish team does have such capital. After all, the Czech team is 17th in the world, which is a height that neither Poland nor the Czech Republic can match. As a Chinese fan, now that the national football team is out, the biggest wish is to see that the Swedish team can beat the Czech Republic and Poland, so that Levan completely loses the hope of qualifying for the World Cup, I believe this is also the common voice of the majority of fans.
