Sweden make the Semi-final!
The Swedish media, and here I generalize and put them all together in the same batter as Expressen and Aftonbladet, spent the month leading up to the Women's World Cup playing down our chances for a medal. There were several reasons for this, but the most prominent three were: we just weren't good enough any more, the other national sides had improved so much in the last few years, and finally it was being played in Germany and therefore the winners of the two previous cups were to be held as the favorites.
