After a shaky start, Sweden was able to win 27-23 against the Czech Republic in the European Championship premiere.
But SVT Sports expert Magnus Grahn did not like what he saw initially.
- It was not good from the beginning.
I think Sweden plays really, really bad.
Then the referee level is quite low so Sweden got quite a few expulsions that they could not handle.
They spat at others and were able to win quite comfortably.
You were not impressed by the refereeing effort?
- You can not say that.
I think the best should judge regardless of gender.
It is far too low a level to be a European Championship.
On Saturday, Sweden will face Spain and on Monday, Russia will wait.
- Now two super difficult matches await, but the positive thing to take with you is that Sweden fought a real battle in the second and turned a three-goal deficit into a victory.
And Linn Blohm delivers crazy.
She and Emma Lindqvist played really well but it will be required that more do it against Spain.
