Tunisia are not a bad team, or haven't been in the last decade or so, maybe they're no longer the team they were but surprised they qualified in that case
Tunisia were surprisingly poor.
Usually one of Africa’s better technical sides.
Sweden played with both prem strikers and looked a handful but midfield and defence were their weakness.
Gudmundsson got turned near the touch line and when he tried to to recover was signalling to come off, unfortunately there was no break in play and he has to sprint back in the next move, which can’t have helped.

He signalled to come off straight away unless it was a precaution.

I reckon West Ham will sell him for around the £60m mark, maybe less as clubs eyeing him know the Hammers are in a financial mess!
Not in the Championship and with actual ffp they won't. They'll get like £35m at best.

I completely missed Graham Potter becoming Sweden manager. I didn't even see it on BBC or Sky, weird 🤔

I reckon their very wealthy owner will take the risk and fund them for 1 season and hope for an instant return.

He's already said as much.

You were probably pottering about in the garden too much.

Good for him, he should do well there and is away from the pressure of the press. He's had success there too previously.

Their keeper is having a blinder, looks like my 3-0 prediction may have been optimistic.

You are not alone.
Fairly sure everyone went large for Spain.
I went 5-1

At 40, he makes me believe I still have a chance :)

To be fair, Cape Verde would've qualified if there were 32 teams and beat Cameroon to the WC, so they're not a bad team.
