At last Pontus Farnerud and Johan Elmander got to do their debutes for the a-national side! Both did a good job, especially Farnerud who played as a starter but had to leave field in the 66:th minute. 2-2 was no good result for the swedes as they were in the lead twice...
The best Swede on the pitch probably was Magnus Hedman who made some really tough saves and Anders Svensson who assisted both goals. The first goal was scored by Magnus Svensson after a low cross by Zlatan Ibrahimovic neatly flicked to Magnus Svensson by Anders Svenssons heal...
The second swedish goal was scored by Stefan Selakovic after an incredible 50 metre high through pass by Anders Svensson that put him alone with the keeper and the open net...
The greeks made it 2-2 with only 4 minutes to go and revealed some weak spots in the Swedish defense. Both Swedish wing backs, Christoffer Andersson (who caused the last goal by not marking his man on the right side) and Erik Edman did not do one of their best matches...
The result would probably had been better if we would have had Henrik Larsson, Fredrik Ljungberg, Olof Mellberg and Niclas Alexandersson in the squad...
And I still can't understand why Daniel Andersson plays in the offensive midfielder role... He is slow and plays too defensive to help the forwards in the way the offensive midfielder should do...
