I just read on text tv that Alexander Östlund will play to the right in the defense and Nilsson to the left. Check SVT text
And I think that's better. Östlund is faster than Nilsson, which is a must when you play against a player like Robben. Nilsson might have a better chance of stopping van Der Meyde.
I was expecting Nilsson to step up in the field, leaving his defense position for Lucic. But it seems like Lucic is still too injured.
Good to see Anders Svensson return, along with Tobias Linderoth of course. I feel that gives the Swedish midfield a bit more stability. With Källström doing most things wrong in the game against Denmark, I prefer Anders Svensson right now.
And I hope Östlund will succeed. From what I've seen though, he can be a really tough player at times, Schwarz-style. Exactly the type of player Sweden needs (would be most useful on the midfield though). And he looks like a scary caveman too, which is good.
