Meanwhile at Djurgården...

US AIK 31 August @ 09:34 AM EST
In a couple of hours Djurgården will play their most important match of the season. Were the team to lose this game against GAIS they will fall at least six points away from safer ground and relegation would be imminent.
So how will Djurgården perform in this crucial match? Well, perhaps taking a peek at their practices will give us a clue. Click to continue reading...

Allsvenskan Round 15 Roundup

US AIK 21 July @ 06:21 AM EST
With fifteen rounds behind us we have now reached the halfway point of the season. In theory anything is still possible, but realistically it appears that the league has been partitioned into three distinct segments. In the first segment we find the five teams that all have a serious shot at the gold; in the middle of the table we have another segment of six teams; and in the bottom of the table we have five teams all struggling to stay out of the relegation zone.

Pre-Game: GAIS vs. AIK

US AIK 17 July @ 06:11 AM EST
It's time for yet another match against a Gothenburg team. This time AIK has the questionable pleasure of traveling to Sweden's backside to meet up with GAIS. We usually like to refer to IFK Göteborg as the herrings, which is a derision based on the fact that Gothenburg is something of a fishing metropolis. Click to continue reading...

Post-Game: Mjällby AIF vs. AIK 1-2

US AIK 08 July @ 05:36 PM EST

At this point the Mjällby supporters at Strandvallen surely felt that this game could become another chapter in their ongoing Cinderella story. Click to continue reading...

US AIK 07 July @ 11:04 AM EST
In a perfect world, a Swedish Cup fixture against a Superettan side like Mjällby would provide AIK with an easy victory by a three goal margin. Reality is unfortunately a bit more complicated and the Swedish Cup quarter-final on Wednesday promises to provide quite a challenge for our beloved AIK.
Superettan teams have performed well against Allsvenskan sides so far in the Cup. Click to continue reading...

Yanks Abroad 13 May @ 06:44 AM EST
Despite a slow start to the 2009 Superettan season, Ljungskile goalkeeper Colin Burns is still upbeat that the western Swedish team will return to the Allsvenskan and redeem itself after last year's end-of-season swoon. Click to continue reading...

Bleacher Collapse In Swedish Superettan

The Offside 20 October @ 12:00 PM EST
Sunday is going to remain in the memories of Orgryte fans for a long, long time. Not only did they return to the Swedish Allsvenskan where they've won twelve titles - most around the turn of the 19th century - but during the game a steel railing enclosing the spectators gave way, sending forty or [..
