- Technically and tactically we are better than them, says federation captain Henrik Signell to SVT sport.

After three initial victories, Sweden has acquired a fine position in Group D. And Argentina is a worse team in advance than Japan played by Sweden the day before.

- I think they (Argentina) are better than Congo and China, which are the three teams you expect not to go any further, says Jamina Roberts. Still, it is important for us to get up to the level then we have Russia then and maybe we can acclimate ourselves to the handball we want to play.

Argentina has finished best in 18th place in a World Cup. Two years ago, Sweden beat the South Americans 38-24 in the group play and in the 2016 Olympics the Swedes' victory margin was ten goals.

- They are physical and brave in their attack game. They are not afraid to take a hit, so it is important that we are brave at the other end and dare to resist, says Henrik Signell.

Tomorrow, waiting for Russia, one of the favorites for the World Cup title, and on Sunday begins the main round. Then Signell's team can be pitted against two former Swedish league captains, Per Johansson in Montenegro and Tomas Ryde in Romania.
