shout. Please, Sweden does not have yellow cards in the group stage.
He could be crucial in the promotion battle to the quarter-finals.
I actually don’t know if it says much about us, says Amanda Elistist.
The group match will be decided on Sunday. It remains open, with the Netherlands and Sweden having four, while Portugal and Switzerland are third and fourth, respectively.
– We aim to win, says midfielder Amanda Elistest before the final round and meeting with Portugal.
But nothing has been decided.
In the event of a loss, Sweden will likely miss the quarter-finals. On the other hand, a cross pass is enough, but if Sweden wants to secure first place in the group and avoid meeting France, who won their group, then more results must go in favor of Blue and Yellow.
Can be determined via fair play
And it may actually be that the number of yellow cards is decided in the end. But calm down, the Swedish players were so restricted in duels that they did not receive a single card.
On the other hand, the Netherlands has three yellow cards.
If the Netherlands wins its match against Switzerland at the same time as Sweden, the team that will take first place will be decided.
Then it applies:
Total target difference.
Total goals scored.
Fair Play – Caveats.
UEFA standings (as it appeared when the draw was made).
Prior to Friday’s decision, the Netherlands lead with four goals ahead of Sweden with three.
But if Sweden, for example, beat Portugal 2-1 at the same time as Holland won 1-0, the caveats are important.
Now Sweden has zero, and the Netherlands has three.
Fast: “Awesome”
When Amanda Elist was asked about the fair play slate earlier this week, she wasn’t aware of the factor that could determine that.
– Maybe you are? Then maybe that’s a very positive thing…but of course it’s a good thing that we didn’t get yellow cards because they could be devastating in the long run, she says.
What do you say about you, do you satisfy Sweden?
– I actually don’t know if it says much about us, says Ilestedt.
Lena Hurtig is also optimistic that Sweden has kept the cards down.
“More fair play, that would be absolutely cool,” says the striker with a sly smile.
Rebecca Blomqvist spoke a few days ago about how sad it was to lose the group win due to the lack of goals. Especially after it was sentenced to complete failure against Switzerland, which according to Sweden was a wrong judgment.
– So it could be in the end. We have seen that Portugal have put in two good performances now, so first of all we need to win the match. Then we’ll see, says Blomqvist.
– But obviously if that’s the goal that makes the difference, it’s a bad thing.
