Sweden is outside the European Community.
England won the semi-finals 4-0 after two goals from goalkeeper Hedwig Lindahl.
You’ll take them, says expert Hanna Marklund.
Blågult got off to a strong start in the semi-finals against England and was on the verge of advancing several times early in the match. Already after 20 seconds (!), Sofia Jacobson – star of the starting line-up – had a great opportunity but it was burnt and in the ninth minute Stena Blacksteinius headed in a header.
But the Swedish press got over it and instead the whole thing developed into an English crush where he was Sweden’s goalkeeper Hedwig Lindahl It was focused.

Beth Meade and Lucy Bronze scored England’s first two goals, but they were the last ones by Alicia Russo and Francesca Kirby, which will be discussed in hindsight.
Lindahl first made a good save at Russo’s end but on the return Russo was allowed to stub the ball between Lindahl’s legs.
– Hedvig will take it. She will have time to fill that gap, says expert Hanna Marklund on TV4.
Kirby’s 4-0 goal came from a long shot. Lindahl stood in a doubtful position, put his hands on the ball but could not resist.
– Even there, I think Hedvig should take it, says Hanna Marklund.
England until the final
Thus, the tournament ended for Blågult as no bronze matches were played in EC.
For England, the final awaits at Wembley, against France or Germany.
The final will be played on Sunday.
