Very happy about this game; beating France 2-0 is a great and heroic result. But I can't help, of course, being really sad and disappointed about this whole tournament. The margins are small on this level of football.

Pretty bad performance. No chance vs Spain with such play.

At least we got the most beautiful goal of this tournament yet. That finish from Ibra is so unbelievably good.

I have several ways of thinking to make me less sad:

-There was just one game less than usual to enjoy for Swedish football fans - we always get eliminated in the quarter finals anyway!

-We've had the margins on our side a lot lately with sick goals to get us out of groups we shouldn't be getting out of - Svensson's free kick against Argentina, Zlatan's goal against Italy (and the wonderfully hilarious 2-2-result against Denmark).

A little early to hoist the white colours don't you think? Let us face it, Spain have to pass the ball into the net... Sure you are up against a tough opponent, but France stands a decent chance imo.

Honestly, I don't think facing Italy is better than facing Spain. I know Spain had good results in the recent tournaments and have a sick squad, but Italy is Italy...

I agree, imo France's play style is more suited to counter Spain's than Italy's.
