[edit] Away Uniform

This is kind of weird. If you check out this article in other wikipedia languages, about half of them show a different Swedish away uniform. Anyone know who's right? -- Loudsox 02:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

(The Spanish Wikipedia has since switched to the color scheme we use.) -- Loudsox 02:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Just check out the official FIFA World Cup site to see that our scheme is the correct one. – Elisson • Talk 10:45, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Ah ok. Thanks. -- Loudsox 11:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Although, for the 2006 WC the uniform has been changed. Sweden now plays in all yellow (home) and since they havn't yet played an "away" game I don't know what colors that uniform has. --Manos1394 13:14, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Has it? As seen in many games during the WC, teams have been forced to play in shirt—shorts colour combinations they usually do not use, and which are nor their home colurs, neither their away colours. Sweden'll play in yellow—blue—yellow against England. – Elisson • Talk 13:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
The full yellow is an abomination and is not the official uniform. The correct home uniform is blue and yellow, and the away uniform is blue and white. The question is WHY they had to play in full yellow against T&T and Paraguay. Sweden is ranked higher then both of them so should it not be they who must change uniform colors?

[edit] 2006 World Cup Information

I strongly feel that this text is not NPOV, using value carrying words such as "failed to" and "scraped a win". I may not be the best person to edit the text and will thus refrain from doing so. But I suggest someone who has good insight, and is able to write without bias, do a rewrite. -- Manos1394 13:30, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tre kronour??

I am not a big soccer fan, but growing up in Sweden I did hear the screams of "tre kronor", not "tre kronour" all the time. Also a google.se search for "tre kronour" yields three results. The search for "tre kronor" yields 5 million plus. Also, the swedish Wikipedia lists Tre kronor as a disambig, but no mention of a nickname for the national soccer team, but does mention it as a nickname for the Swedish national hockey team.. I will leave this here for a bit to see if some more soccer informed people can elaborate, before removing it :) Mceder 02:05, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Removed it and placed "Blågult" back. I have never heard anyone ever refer to the football team as "tre kronor".
"Tre kronor" (Three Crowns) is the nickname (even though its in Sweden more used than "the national hockey team") of the national icehockey team. Never used for the football team (the hockey team have used "Three crowns" it on the shirts for as long as i can remeber) [1] [2] Chandlertalk 19:13, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Erik Edman

"Recent call-up"? Since when? As far as I'm concerned he's only second defender to mellberg in the line-up...? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kallstrom11 (talk • contribs) 16:31, August 20, 2007 (UTC).

Called up to the squad. Nobody says he is certain to start, or even play at all. Sakkura 01:24, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
