Despite a spirited start, Sweden ultimately had no chance against England, and lost 4–0.
SVT's expert Daniel Nannskog points out inefficiency as a major problem.
- I am satisfied with Sweden's first thirty minutes with the tactic of using the three attackers with quick balls up to them, which created a lot of problems for England.
But unfortunately the sharpness in the endings was not there.
A bit like against Belgium last time, he says.
"Then it was curtain"
At the break it was 1-0, but already three minutes into the second half, Lucy Bronze headed in 2-0 from a corner.
- When England scored the 2-0 goal, it was curtain call.
Then England get the match exactly where they want it.
Sweden was forced to open up in its pursuit of goals, which England makes the most of with good goals and nice combinations, says Nannskog.
- It's easy to hang out Lindahl gets both the last goals, at the same time it's lax defensive play that allows England to get those chances.
But of course Lindahl must be able to stop both of the last goals.
"Asllani closest to his personal best"
Nannskog believes that Sweden will no longer be seen as favorites before major tournaments.
- If you look at the tournament, you have to state that Sweden did not rise to the level that was expected.
There were too few players who reached maximum performance.
It is probably Asllani who has been closest to his personal best throughout the tournament, while many of the Swedish players have not reached it.
- Now it becomes natural that Sweden will not be counted as favorites in the same way as after the Olympic silver, which I think can suit Sweden.
That you have to work a little behind and overcome a disadvantage, he says.
