Sweden got a dream start in the quarter finals with a goal already in the seventh minute when Magdalena Eriksson scored 1-0.

Then, after Japan's equalizer, they could win 3-1 and thus beat the home nation.

Next?

Australia in the semifinals.

An Australia Blue and Yellow defeated 4-2 in the group stage, after a swinging event where Chelsea star Samantha Kerr became a two-goal shooter.

According to SVT's expert Markus Johannesson, it will be a key for Sweden - to keep track of the 27-year-old, who had a bit of free rein in the group stage meeting.

Otherwise, Johannesson's opposition does not frighten significantly.

However, there are signs of unrest in the blue and yellow team, he says.

- I'm a little worried that the back line is not really working.

There is not really the security that has existed before.

There are some position problems, we saw that in Japan's goal today.

There is development potential, there is a small challenge for Gerhardsson (Peter, the national team captain) to solve before the remaining matches, Johannesson says to SVT Sport.

"Must make it work"

Australia, who earlier today defeated Great Britain after extra time, have only won one match in regular time in the championship.

According to Markus Johannesson, they are clear underdogs in the semifinal meeting.

- They come into that match with everything to win, but for me Sweden are favorites.

It's just a matter of finding your way back to that press game, the way they held the team together in the previous group stage matches, unlike today.

Sweden must make it work, then they are really, really good.

The semifinal will be played on Monday at 13, Swedish time.
