TEAMS: Sweden

Always tough to beat, the Swedes showed amazing resiliance in qualifying for the 2002 FIFA World Cup as top of their Group. After the great performance in 1994, it was disappointing for the Swedes to have not qualified for the 98 tournament so they will be looking to make up for it in Japan. Group F will arguably be the tightest of then all with England, Argentina and Nigeria all challenging for a place in the knockout stages.
Sweden will look to the likes of Henrik Larsson to fire them through and hopefull for them, repeat the 1994 heroics.
