In a brief moment of clarity I once wrote that I will avoid making predictions because doing so will eventually offer proof that I have no idea of what I'm talking about. While I was smart enough to figure that much out on my own, I am unfortunately dumb enough to ignore my own advice.

Life in the Swedish Allsvenskan began for 2009 as Kalmar FF embarked on the focal objective of defending their title crown, despite an initial drawback as they stranded a one-goal advantage to draw with Gefle IF.

After accomplishing their first championship in 2008, Kalmer travelled northwards to the city of Gävle in pursuit of their title protection and Rasmus Elm, whose brother Victor and last season's top goalscorer Patrik Ingelsten both departed for SC Heerenveen over the winter months, ensured the season started to almost perfection by successfully converting a penalty on 29 minutes.

In today's lone Allsvenskan match, Trelleborgs FF dispatched of third-place side IFK Göteborg. The victory moves Trelleborgs up to 11th place in the Swedish league. In the first half of play, new signing Paulino Lopes Tavares scored. Forward Fredrik Jensen put the game away late in the second half. Click to continue reading...

First-place club Kamar FF easily defeated Djurgårdens IF 5-1 today in Allsvenskan action. Two of the three Elm brothers scored - Victor in the 56th minute and David in the 82nd.
César Santin found the scoresheet first with a goal in the 7th minute. Seven minutes later midfielder Patrik Ingelsten scored. Click to continue reading...

Kalmar FF's win versus Trelleborgs FF over the weekend keeps the club's five point lead in tact. Next week's matchup against last year's Allsvenskan champion IFK Göteborg who currently sit in third place will be a crucial battle.
Hopefully the Brothers Elm will step up in this key matchup. Click to continue reading...
