Absent any knowledge about women's soccer, you would think that the best team in a World Cup group that includes Italy and Argentina would be one of those two. You would be wrong. Sweden has long been one of the elite clubs in women's football, while Italy only just managed to remove their heads from their asses after the Azzurre surprised everyone by winning their group over Australia and Brazil, and then marching to the quarterfinals over the bodies of China. Argentina, on the other hand, have never come close to their rival Brazil's success, and this team lost 7-0 to Spain last fall.

sweden also used to have one of the top national leagues in europe until the big money clubs down on the contient started paying attention to womens football
you had marta playing for umeå back in the day

Let's not bicker and argue over whether or not it's coming home (because it's not, it's staying right where it is) and instead make fun of this ESPN article that says the US has the best looking kit out of all 32 teams (based on the blurb for the Dutch kits I'm pretty sure the author is colorblind, which explains a lot).

quote:

The away kit is perfectly serviceable but also arguably represents the least captivating of Adidas' nature-themed alternate jerseys, featuring a deep-blue design inspired by the magnificent ice caps, fjords and ancient glaciers of the Scandinavian nation.

that sounds like they are describing norway not sweden
the only fjords we have are the ones in the region bohuslän which borders (and used to be part of) norway

so youre saying you do, in fact, have fjords

alternatively: it's not a fjord, it's just made to look like a fjord

sweden has two, one if which is shared with norway
norway has over a thousand
they also have over ten times our glacier coverage despite being smaller
"inspired by the magnificent ice caps, fjords and ancient glaciers of the Scandinavian nation" everyone who knows scandinavia would think of norway

the picture makes me think of islossning in the gulf of bothnia or the northern rivers

e: checked the adidas website and the writers just made up the fjord part, probably just thinking scandinavia=fjords

quote:

bortastället knyter an till den kyliga naturen och glaciärälvarna som flyter genom landet
rough translation: the away kit ties into the cold enviroment and the glacial rivers that flow through the country

It was Zambia, not Zimbabwe, but yeah - it's a team where the players haven't been paid by their own federation for two years and their coach is a sex pest being investigated for molesting his players.
