His final goal was after a neat partnership with goalkeeper Anton Andersson. He threw all over the field and Edlund intercepted the ball and free with Mac Berglove, who actually made a big play, he easily made it 12-1.

" Somehow a day at work. We wanted to practice a couple of things and wanted a lot of corners, we think that's going to be important moving forward. Then we protect ourselves well in the penalty area," team captain Martin Karlsson told Bandypuls.

On Friday, rival Finland awaits

On Friday, the bandy world championships kick off "for real" as gold candidate Finland awaits. Then Kazakhstan on Saturday.

"We've said that Tuesday and Wednesday are training sessions for us. We're really excited for Friday, it's going to be really fun," Karlsson said.

Otherwise, it was most surprising that the U.S. could actually score on Sweden and Anton Andersson. On a free kick, Daren Richardson, a 40-year-old on Division 1 side side, got the ball after a sideways poke and cut the score 8-1 into the far corner.
