Before matchup between Sweden and Holland national teams, the rating was in favor of the swedish. Theoretically, swedish could count at least on the draw, but in the match didn't play neither the strongest defender Petter Hansson nor the second best forwarder Marcus Berg (coming to play field 10 minutes before finish). The cause was very simple: swedish trainer could not leave Henrik Larsson in the football bench. The 38 years old veteran player stills scoring despite the age and his continuous injuries.

 And happened what had to happen: the dutchmen won by 1:0 snatching away Sweden chances to pass trough to next round. Now, Portugal has to win the next matchup against Malta national team to get the second position, what means that Ronaldo is likely to go to World Cup and Lars Lagerbak to go home.
