Sweden Ready for 'Game of Our Lives' in France World Cup Clash
Graham Potter said Sweden need the game of their lives and a 10-goal France attack leaves little margin for error.
- On Tuesday, Sweden faces France in the FIFA World Cup Round of 32 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, with Graham Potter's squad entering as clear underdogs against the tournament favorites.
- Sweden qualified via the UEFA Nations League and navigated an erratic group stage, defeating Tunisia 5-1, losing to the Netherlands 5-1, and drawing 1-1 with Japan.
- Facing a French attack led by Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, Potter expressed concern about balancing defense and attack, complicated by Atalanta centre-back Isak Hien's hamstring injury.
- Potter told reporters his team must be "as close to perfect as we can be" to seize the "once-in-a-lifetime chance" of playing one of the world's biggest teams.
- Veteran defender Victor Lindelof, who played in a 2-1 victory nine years ago, believes Sweden can win and insists the squad is fighting to extend their World Cup adventure.
