Sweden's floorball men come to the WC in Switzerland as reigning world champions.
At the final last year, in Helsinki, they won against rival Finland after great drama.
Much points to Sweden and Finland meeting in the World Cup final again, just like in the last eight clashes for the World Cup gold.
- I think so.
We will do everything to be there, then it doesn't matter who is on the other side.
We have a nice advantage over Finland mentally now.
It wouldn't hurt to meet them, says Storvreta and Sweden defender Tobias Gustafsson to SVT Sport.
Apart from the WC final, the neighboring countries met this summer at the World Games, in the final the Swedes won 6–5.
But in that tournament, Sweden opened with an unexpected draw, 6–6, against Latvia, which they crushed 11–1 at the last WC.
But Tobias Gustafsson likes the draw.
"Feels ready to challenge for the gold"
- Then and there in the World Games, it was absolutely perfect.
It was an eye opener for us, we were running around thinking we were going to play our way through the game.
We had forgotten that we are not good if we don't do the basics - everything from working hard, covering shots and hitting passes on the blade.
What you sometimes think should happen automatically just because you put on the blue and yellow shirt.
There was a turning point in that tournament.
After that we do a great tournament.
We have the Latvians to thank, they woke us up.
In the upcoming WC, Sweden will face Latvia again in the group, in addition, matches against Germany and the Czech Republic await.
- Germany is still down there and we should win against them easily.
It was both fun and hard to experience.
The Czech Republic is definitely a main contender for the gold, they have been making strides every year.
And now they feel very ready to fight for the gold.
There we have a fight to do.
Sweden kicks off against Germany on 5 November at 12.00.
