What odds are Sweden to win the World Cup?
100/1
Who's the coach?
Janne Andersson is a plain-speaking (if you can understand Swedish, like) no-frills gaffer who masterminded their play-off win over Italy.
Who's the star?
Emil Forsberg, an attacking midfielder with a gift for the killer pass, is an Arsenal target. Haven’t they already got lots of him?
Best thing about them
Solid defence: Manchester United’s Victor Lindelof, Pontus Jansson of Leeds, Swansea’s Martin Olsson, and Celtic full-back Mikael Lustig.
Worst thing about them
They will likely play a 442 and tend toward the predictable. Don’t have the pace up front to trouble any serious opponent.
You may recognise…
The painful absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, although there is a suspicion that the coach is now sleeping a little more easily.
Cameramen will be picking out…
The fans ranging from the very good-looking all the way to the extremely good-looking.
Fans' favourite chant
Sung ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life' to Italy after play-off.
On-field prediction
Battling third place in group. Game with Mexico looks the key.
Off-field prediction
Almost inconceivable that they won’t be a nice addition.
