England’s 2018 WAG squad, led by I’m A Celeb … star Rebekah Vardy, have performed admirably all tournament, but are they ready for their stiffest competitio­n yet? Meet the SWAGS, Sweden’s wives and girlfriend­s.

The ringleader – Maja Nilsson Lindelöf, wife of Victor Lindelöf

Calling herself a “Swedish influencer living in Manchester” on her Instagram, Maja, 24, has more than 115,000 followers, as well as a podcast (with fellow SWAG Sanna Dahlstrom) called Life in the Stands and a Youtube channel. And that’s a full sentence that would have made no sense 30 years ago. She has lived in Cheshire since last summer, thanks to Lindelöf playing for Manchester United.

The childhood sweetheart – Emma Hebring, wife of Ola Toivonen

The blonde (to be honest, they’re all blonde) 31-year-old Emma met Toulouse forward Ola Toivonen, 33, more than 15 years ago, making their low-profile relationsh­ip practicall­y ancient by traditiona­l WAG standards. But not compared their opposition today. England’s goalkeepin­g hero, Jordan Pickford, has dated his girlfriend Megan since they were 14, and Kane met Goodland at school.

The glamour – Josefine Ringblom Berg, wife of Marcus Berg

A “happy wifey”, according to Instagram, Josefine is a mother-of-three who has been married to striker Marcus for four years. She studied fashion, and proves that by posting photograph­s of herself and her children in designer goods on Instagram. “For me, home isn’t a place but a person. And that person is you! I love you with every breath I take and I will do so until end of time,” she wrote to her husband. Get a room.
