How Could We Manufacture A Loss Against Sweden?
It could be that we would want to lose against Sweden in the World Cup if winning the game means we would have to face Germany ..... Germanys group will be decided by the time we play.
So?? what do we do? Lose to play Poland instead??

I dont see what the problem is, we're going to have to play someone good at some stage, whether it be the last 16 or the final. I dont care who we get tbh.

they will surely top their group anyway so it wont be an issue.if we top our group we will play the 2nd in their group wont we? which is likely to be poland.
and anyway if germany cant win their own group we have nothing to fear from them anyway.

Don't understand your reasoning as to why Scotland not being there has got anything to do with taking Sweden for granted. We're used to not being at major tournaments now.
All thanks to the dreaded Herr Vogts.
