It will be a quarter final in the end for Sweden.
The reigning Olympic champion France is waiting there, who has cleaned up the tournament and won all the matches.
- We met them in the semifinals (in the Olympics) and made a fantastic match but fell on the finish line.
It is a much more difficult opponent than the two big teams, Norway and the Netherlands, which Sweden has faced.
They have an enormous breadth and an enormous experience, says Magnus Grahn.
Grahn mainly highlights two components that Sweden must improve.
One is the defensive game:
- For us to make a better performance, the defensive game must be much better.
It's hollow, we do not win duels and do not slam properly.
The defense must be clearly better because it has been shaky, says Grahn.
The second are the goalkeepers:
- They have been okay, no more.
But if we are to have a chance against France, the finishers must step up two steps and be as brutally good as they spoiled us with in the Olympics.
Sweden won earlier today against Romania by 34-30.
A must-win match that Sweden had to win to have a chance at the quarter-finals.
- It is strong of Sweden to win.
You have the pressure to win.
Then there was, let us be clear, a good Romania.
It was much better than I thought.
So it was strong of Sweden to get together and Jenny Carlson with four quick bags, says Grahn.
