Either we have properly (mostly me) chased away @Livvy now with all of these cultural gems from a bygone time, or Sweden managed to torpedo her interest in the game all by themselves. Alternatively, a combination.
Edit: Oh, there she is.

Do you know that lustig is the German word for funny?

Yes, It means the same in Swedish
In Norwegian “Lystig” means happy or in a good mood. You guys all use it wrong.

That’s the second German word I’ve learnt from you today. 
On the subject of German, is the Wonderbra called the Wunderbra in Germany and, if so, is the Wunderbra wunderbar?

Damn, I was just about to laugh, as I thought Sweden scored. It would be genuinely hilarious and just what the game needs.
Another chance for Sweden

Another Danny Murphy gem: he thinks Traoré is more likely to create something than Thiago is.

Game is playing out pretty much like I said in the beginning, @cynicaloldgit . Survive the first half against superior ball technicians, then adventure starts when Spain begins to get frustrated.

For all Spain possession they only tested the Sweden keeper 3 times.

Don’t worry; Laporte has only just realised that he himself is Spanish.

Which is definitely part of Plan 9 !
Seriously though, say what you want about the first boring half, but Sweden has defended very well and allowed few clear cut 100% chances from superior technicians.

This is a 0-0 that could easily have been 2-2. Both sides have missed good chances.

Swedish defensive formation looking very stable, very in balance and simply just good.
Offensively, ehem. Well, another tale.
