Feature
Two points from a possible 18 should have ended Sweden's dream before it began, yet a playoff lifeline under Graham Potter dragged them to the finals against the odds. Now the question is whether a freshly installed manager and a couple of genuinely elite forwards can paper over a campaign that started in chaos. The talent up top says they can hurt anyone; the timing says hold your nerve.
Sweden have squeezed through as one of the best third-placed sides. Not the comfortable route — but a place in the last 32 is a place in the last 32, and the knockouts don't care how you got there.
Alexander Isak
A tough first season at Liverpool to forget — Sweden need their striker to rediscover his ruthless edge here.
Graham Potter
The coach who rescued the campaign via the playoffs, building a hard-working back five behind the front-line danger — but with little time to embed his ideas.
