Sweden qualified for the Euro2016!

Zlatan is the hero - Euro2016 here we come!


Looking at the squads and the way that the teams had performed before this double fixtures between Sweden and Denmark - it looked like it would be tough for Sweden.

During the first game Sweden really played well until the clock hit 65 minutes. The energy they had spent outplaying the danes had taken its toll. Denmark took over completely and got the goal that would give them a fifty-fifty chance in the second game. 

Tonights game, the second one. Sweden travel to Denmark with the 2-1 victory. Like I wrote earlier, I figured that Sweden had to score to have a chance to win the double fixture. 

Luckily, we have the Zlatan!

He scored twice giving us a 2-0 lead and now the danes had to score 4 to win. When it was like 15 minutes left or something they had really started to fight back. 
They got 2-1 and then after a few minutes they got their second goal. 2-2 in the game, but 4-3 to Sweden in the total scores. 
And counting the away goals that Sweden had scored the danes still needed two more goals and there just wasn't enough time for that.

It was truly a great display from Sweden. The best two games they have played in years, and they make it in this crucial double fixture. How perfect is that?

Last time we were in the play offs. It was to the World Championship. Zlatan scored a few there as well. But Portugal had a star of their own and he basically shut down us on his own. Scoring more goals than Zlatan. Cristiano Ronaldo, do I need to say more?

But this time, the opponents did not have anyone to match the quality that is Zlatan. 

Now it is settled. The summer will be spent barbequing and watching the Euro2016!
