Of the eleven starters for Sweden, seven play abroad while four stay at home in Damallsvenskan and are thus in the middle of pre-season training.
- We're growing into it. In the first half we did not manage to keep the ball. It is very sloppy and the fits do not fit. We have a lot to work on in the timing and the last pass. Against good resistance you do not have the chance to lose so many passes. We know we can and it's there.
Federation captain Peter Gerhardsson is on the same track that Sweden is growing into the match.
- We make a clear better second half. The feeling is that we have a lot of "near-misses", being able to hurt them behind their backline. For some reason we don't get there as much.
