Sweden impressed in the European Championships and went all the way to the quarterfinals - but there it stopped.
It was an outing against the Netherlands after a loss in three straight sets - despite a good start, where the blue and yellows were close to taking the first set.
But then it got too tough.
- The Netherlands is pushing Sweden extremely hard with its serve today and that means that Sweden is not keeping up, says SVT's expert Andréa Jacobsson.
"Undivided joy"
An exit from a championship is obviously heavy, says Jacobsson, but she thinks that the players will take a lot of positive things with them.
- Disappointment is understood right now in Sweden, but I think that when they look back on this, it is with undivided joy.
- You knew in advance what a difficult opponent this was.
They will be depressed for a while, but pretty soon it will turn around.
"Invited us"
The achievements have led many to raise their eyebrows, broaden their smiles - and follow the team closely.
- They have really invited us to take part in the journey they have been on.
Sweden is now in the top eight in Europe and has thus secured a place for the European Championships 2023.
- It means a lot what the girls have done.
Hopefully, many younger girls and boys have watched and felt that this is something I want to try.
