Sweden: Not among the elite the past couple years, Sweden is rebuilding in an effort
to regain its status as the equal of anyone in the world. Always a skillful side, it is trying
to become more athletic with the younger players. Ulrika Karlsson may be the top goalkeeper in
the World Cup. Jane Tornquist is an outstanding defender, helped by Cecilia Sandell. Malin
Andersson is an impact midfielder, helped by 20-year-old Hanna Ljungberg. Top forward is
Victoria Svensson. Chances: Should finish second in group.
