Result ? Sweden is an organised and compact squad. However, its style
and approach is too mechanical and defensive.

They have a couple of star players, but should find the going tough in the 'Group of Death'. Argentina, England and Nigeria complete the high voltage group.

Magnus Hedman, Magnus Kihlstedt, Andreas Isaksson.

Defenders:
Olof Mellberg, Patrik Andersson, Johan Mjallby, Michael Svensson.

Midfielders:
Tobias Linderoth, Niclas Alexandersson, Anders Svensson, Fredrik Ljungberg, Magnus Svensson, Mattias Jonsson, Pontus Farnerud, Daniel Andersson.

Forwards:
Macus Allback, Henrik Larsson, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Andreas Andersson.
