ARLINGTON, Texas, June 24 : Graham Potter has warned his team against another poor defensive performance when they play Japan in Dallas on Thursday as Sweden attempt to bounce back from their heavy loss to the Netherlands last Saturday to book a place in the World Cup last 32.
June 23 : Japan will be keeping a close eye on Sweden strikers Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres when the two sides meet in their Group F finale at the World Cup on Thursday, where a guaranteed knockout-stage berth is on the line.
June 21 : One of the biggest holidays in the Swedish calendar got off to a great start on Friday as the nation celebrated Midsummer's Eve, but their team's 5-1 World Cup thrashing by the Netherlands left the entire country with a cruel soccer hangover.
HOUSTON: An early double from Brian Brobbey, two more in the second half for Cody Gakpo and a late goal from Crysencio Summerville helped the Netherlands cruise to an impressive 5-1 win over Sweden at the World Cup on Saturday. The Dutch delivered the performance coach Ronald Koeman had demanded after conceding near the end of regulation in a disappointing opening 2-2 draw against Japan and underlining the team’s credentials as among the favorites to go far in the tournament. Brobbey — chosen ahead of record scorer Memphis Depay — repaid Koeman’s faith with two goals in the opening 17 minutes to give the Dutch the early initiative and another two from Cody Gakpo in a seven-minute spell after the break put the match out of reach. His first came when he flicked the ball to Tijjani Reijnders who found Gakpo racing down the left flank to set up the Sunderland striker for a tap-in. Brobbey struck again when Denzel Dumfries swung in a perfectly weighted cross that he simply directed past Sweden goalkeeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt with an outstretched leg. SLOPPY SWEDEN The Swedes — full of optimism after crushing Tunisia 5-1 in their opening match — gave the ball away too easily and could not contain the Dutch attack. Graham Potter’s side played with more urgency following the first hydration break but it was never good enough against a ruthless Dutch side who converted their chances. Viktor Gyokeres presented the main danger for Sweden early on with a free kick and curling effort that tested Dutch goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. Yasin Ayari had a chance to get Sweden back into the game but could not control the ball with his chest with only the goalkeeper to beat. Substitute Anthony Elanga pulled one back in the 59th
