Corresponding
to Group F, the teams of Sweden and South Korea face off in their debut at
this FIFA World Cup in Russia 2018. The Nizhny Novgorod
stadium will host this Soccer match
with more than 55,000 spectators in the stands to watch the first match of
their national teams in Russia. You can not see the faces since 2005, in two
friendly matches that ended in a draw without giving too much spectacle for the
fans.
The Swedes
are presented at the 2018 Football World
Cup against all odds, eliminating in the repechage the great Italian side
that did not miss an international championship in the last 60 years. A goal by
Johansson, in the first game and a goalless draw in the return match, make it
possible for Sweden to play in this
group F, which they share with Germany
and Mexico, in addition to the South
Koreans, their rival today. The qualifying phase was also tough, in a group
with France and Holland, managed to get among the first. The great absence of
this Swedish team is that of Ibrahimovic, where surely his teammates will miss
him in the field, that despite having Forsberg, Zlatan is irreplaceable.
The South Korean Soccer team is a fixture in this type of competitions, being the strongest team in Asian football, its participation in the FIFA World Cup is almost assured, but it does not manage to pass the group stage. In Russia, in a group with Germany, Mexico and Sweden, it is difficult to be in the round of 16. In addition, he is joined by two injuries of important players, such as Lee Keun-ho, with rupture of the medial ligament of the right knee, and that of Kwon Chang-hoon, who broke the Achilles tendon playing in the French league. , but he still has options, since he is a fast team in attack with good offensive players that can make a break to any defense in the world.
