Gulldén, Roberts, Hagman and the other stars of all glory.
Sweden also has an assault weapon in goalkeeper Filippa Idéhn.
In Tuesday's win against Japan (34-26), the Danish pros scored two goals in the first half. After "only" scoring three goals on 114 international matches before.
- It was time then? Joking aside, it's always fun to score goals and it's been a long time since I last did it, she tells TV6.
"Unforgettable moment"When Sweden got up after a bad start, it was Idéhn who set the lead, 7-6.
But it was above all her 20-12, with barely half a minute left of the first half, which etched itself on the retina.
Idéhn glued a Japanese finish with one hand and quickly showed his fine throwing arm. The ball sailed across the pitch and into goal. Idéhn offered a smile and both the audience and his teammates cheered.
- An unforgettable moment. What a grip strength to handle it, says Claes Hellgren, former handball goalkeeper and now expert commentator in TV6.
Got a thigh cakeIdéhn was also noted for twelve saves and was named the leader of the match when Sweden took the third straight victory.
- It was difficult to play because Japan played extremely fast. But these were two very important points for us, she says.
The goalie star was seen wrapping one thigh.
- I got a little weird in a slide and got a small thigh cake. But there should be no danger to the continuation.
