STILL IN IT WITH A CHANCE

SWEDEN and Germany are both on three points with leaders Mexico on six heading into the final group games meaning there is all to play for – including, mathematically, for bottom team South Korea who are without a point. Victory for Sweden against Mexico would secure their place in the knockout stage. “We still have an excellent opportunity to qualify and we will do everything to achieve that,” Andersson said. “Emotionally right now we are so disappointed. We are going to clean up, catch up and we have every chance of qualifying on Wednesday for the knockout stage,” he added. “There are so many feelings right now, this is probably the heaviest conclusion to a game that I have ever experienced in my career. But the whole group is still alive so we have to lick our wounds and come back from the next one,” said the Sweden coach.
