The integration of young players is not very good, Isak and kulusevski should start, but we had more chances, more shots on goals than France. That is impressive considering how very few top players Sweden has.
Internationals September (Nations League + Friendlies)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
This short-term vision is not healthy IMO. But it seems to be a problem with Swedish football in general.
Isak has struggled in the national side though. Berg and Quaison has done it well together.
Not sure Kulusevski is ready for big things either yet.
They will get chances and hopefully grow with them.
Pathetic game.
Yep. Awful half.
Don't worry lads the free flowing samba stylings of Ireland is on soon.
That was a dreadful display. Won't be surprised if this ends goalless.
Get Dylan on.
Just read that Brazilian-born Cicinho is making his debut for Bulgaria. This is the same Cicinho that we were heavily linked with quite a few years ago to the point that G Nev even showed him round Carrington. He ended up signing for Madrid and wasting his career.
Nico Williams wins it for Wales at the death.
Wow! Great header by Neko Williams. Wonder how many passes Wales made before the goal?
It can't be, he's long since retired and played for Brazil a few times anyway.
2 wins out of 2 games for Wales
Very nice, Williams duo.
Well worked goal and patient build up for wales that.
I feel gutted for Bulgaria. Could have been 4 points and it's now 1. For such a limited team I think the coach is doing a great job at getting them to play a pretty organized game. The mistakes are obviously still there but not nearly as much as previously.
Great moment for Williams .
I don't think it's the same Cicinho.
As promised I've not backed Ireland. So I'm watching with impartiality tonight, which means I might not be as harsh in my criticisms.

The Cicinho you are thinking about is 40 and retired.
It's actually chico from X factor.
Surprised he didn't start.
They are not making it easy to me...
Are these lads taking the piss playing a fella called Daniel O'Shaughnessy against us?
Not the best of watches, Ireland had some good passing moves going the first 20mins. Still pretty toothless up front, but slightly better than before overall. We are lucky Pukki didn’t punish us but pretty solid in defence, can only see a goalless draw in this match.
ROI behind.
Ireland 
Absolutely dreadful.
Absolutely dreadful.
Quickest sub goal ever?! 
OGS watch! This is how a super sub works. Next time bring in Lingard to do the same!
Ireland are pathetic
Well that’s probably it then, crap defending!
This doesn't look the same Finland that played England, they sat back most of the game. This lot are having a go.
He made his silhoutte bigger. You automatically do that by jumping in front of a shot. His arm and elbow stood out from the body and that's where the ball struck.
When did Finland last play England?
Because you lost your bet?
Fairly deserved win for Finland. Could have been a draw as well. Ireland were a lot worse than Wales.
I must be half asleep. I meant Iceland which has absolutely no connection to this game at all. They played Wales didn't they.
To be fair, hes not wrong.Because you lost your bet?
