Sweden out of World Cup after 3–0 loss to France

Sweden eliminated, France too sharp

Sweden are out. France won 3–0 in the Round of 32 at MetLife Stadium and your World Cup is over (3) (4) (5). Viktor Gyokeres is heading home, and so is the squad that scraped through as one of the third-placed teams from Group F.

Allsvenskan panel looks ahead

The Allsvenskan panel is back. Expressen gathered the voices and they are talking about who rises when the league restarts, which player takes the biggest step, and who should say no to a move abroad (1). After the World Cup exit, domestic football is the next thing to look forward to.

Riolo: nothing won yet

French pundit Daniel Riolo is not celebrating yet. After the 3–0 win over Sweden, he pushed back on the Olise-Mbappé hype: "On n'a encore rien fait du tout!", we have done nothing yet (5). France are only in the round of 16, and Riolo wants people to remember that.

Same France lineup vs Paraguay

France may not change a thing. Reports suggest Didier Deschamps could name the same starting eleven against Paraguay that knocked Sweden out (7). If so, the side that ended your tournament gets another run.

Spain's struggles put things in perspective

Spain have won only two knockout matches at World Cups since lifting the trophy in 2010 (6). Sweden, for all the frustration of this exit, have been in a World Cup quarterfinal more recently than that, 2018. It is a small reminder that the tournament does not owe anyone a deep run.
