Sweden edge Switzerland 1-0 to reach quarterfinals
A deflected shot from Emil Forsberg gave Sweden a 1-0 victory over Switzerland in a dull World Cup round of 16 match in Saint Petersburg on Tuesday, sending the Swedes through to a quarter-final against either Colombia or England. Switzerland had the lion’s share of possession but were toothless in attack, and bowed out in dispiriting fashion after registering four shots on target over 90 minutes, none of which unduly tested Robin Olsen in the Swedish goal. Boos and whistles rang around the stadium as early as the 25th minute, with both Swedish and Swiss fans alike left irate by the lack of quality and attacking verve on display. The teams went into the interval locked in a goalless stalemate, with Sweden just about shading their opponents in terms of the quality of the few clear chances created.s
Twarit Khel: Germany Knocked Out As Mexico And Sweden Qualify For The Knockouts | ABP News
World Champions Germany spectacularly crashed out of the Group stage of the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2018 as Video Assistant Referee (VAR) helped South Korea to a 2-0 scoreline to finish Die Mannschaft's hopes of retaining their crown. This continues the trend of reigning World Cup champions failing to make it to the knockout rounds in recent editions, with Germany becoming the third successive champions after Spain (winners in 2010) and Italy (winners in 2006) to be eliminated from the group stage. Buoyed by their last-gasp 2-1 victory over Sweden on Saturday, the Germans needed the three points for their qualification hopes to be secure, however, a much-changed side from Saturday failed to break down the South Korean resistance, while the Swedes, courtesy of an emphatic 3-0 victory over Mexico, progressed at the champions' cost. South Korea, having been eliminated after a 2-1 defeat to Mexico, started the game with a spring in their step and mounted pressure on the Germans both on and off the ball. They had their first real sighter at goal from a Jung Woo-Young free-kick, with his swerving effort first spilt by Manuel Neuer before he could punch it out of play. Germany was growing frustrated as they could not manage to string meaningful passes together, as the South Koreans held their ground and thwarted any German penetration. However, Germany finished the first half with two good opportunities falling their way. Mat Hummels gathered the ball from a corner and wriggled out a yard to let fly from close range, although his effort was well saved by Cho Hyun-Woo in the Korean goal. Soon after, Timo Werner struck the post from inside the box; however, it wouldn't have counted as the referee blew the whistle for a Jonas Hector foul in the build-up. The second half started in similar fashion for the Germans as a rising Leon Groetzka header was stopped by Cho. Korea absorbed all the German pressure, breaking into a counter-attack with the German back line exposed. Both teams missed an array of chances, with the best of them falling to Germany as Mesut Ozil's delightful cross was picked up by Hummels in the box, but his header was woeful, to say the least. VAR came into play in stoppage time after an offside decision overruling a Jang Hyun-Soo goal from a corner, was review by the referee and overturned, giving the Koreans a deserved lead. It also meant that Germany was left with a mountain to climb. In the end, Son ended their misery after Neuer conceded possession to allow Ju Se-Hong to release Son, who scored into an empty net to make it 2-0 on the night. Meanwhile, goals from Ludwig Augustinsson and Andreas Granqvist, along with an unfortunate own goal from Edson Alvarez gave Sweden a resounding 0-3 victory, ensuring their qualification into the group stage as table toppers. Guillermo Ochoa saved Emil Forsberg and Marcus Berg efforts in the first half, with Augustinsson volleying in the opener early in the second half. Granqvist then converted from the spot, after a Hector Moreno challenge on Berg was deemed to be a foul. Soon after, Alvarez sent the ball into his own net as Sweden ended up usurping Mexico's top spot in Group F. Tonight's Group G matches will decide who Sweden and Mexico will play in the Round-of-16.

Sweden 0-0 Peru | Highlights - 09.06.2018
Peru frustrate Sweden in final friendly ahead of World Cup ▶ Follow us ❎ Click here for more videos 👉 : https://goo.gl/ixv5Ws 🔵 Facebook 👉 : https://goo.gl/CpA4DL 🔵 Twiiter 👉: https://goo.gl/Bx5Txw 🔴 Google+ 👉 : https://goo.gl/33b7un 🔺 Blogger 👉: https://goo.gl/3Kvshn -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STOCKHOLM -- Sweden drew another blank as fellow World Cup contenders Peru held them to a frustrating scoreless draw in their final warm-up game on a sun-drenched evening in Gothenburg. The Swedes failed to find the net in Stockholm against Denmark last Saturday, and once again they struggled in front of goal as Sebastian Larsson celebrated his 100th cap by captaining Janne Andersson's side. Seeking to hit the home side on the break, Peru had the best of the chances in the opening 45 minutes but Viktor Claesson almost put Sweden ahead just before the break with a superb scissor-kick. With Paolo Guerrero leading the line, the Peruvians countered with speed, quickly changing the point of attack when they won the ball as they broke forward in numbers. The Swedes suffered a scare midway through the second half as first-choice goalkeeper Robin Olsen, who missed most of the spring due to a broken collar bone, landed heavily, but after treatment he was able to continue. Andersson will have been happy to see injury-plagued midfielder Albin Ekdal's fine passing display, but it was Peru's Ricardo Gareca who was by far the happier of the two coaches at the final whistle. Sweden kick off their World Cup in Russia against South Korea on June 18 before going on to meet Germany and Mexico in Group F. Peru begin their Group C campaign against Sweden's Nordic neighbours Denmark on June 16 before going on to meet France and Australia.
