The Swedish national team is showcasing incredible firepower at the 2026 World Cup. The Scandinavian squad has already netted more goals than in each of their last three appearances at the global tournament.
Details: It took Sweden just three matches in the current competition to surpass their previous tallies. In this brief stretch, they've struck the back of the net seven times.
For comparison: at the 2018 World Cup, the team scored a total of six goals, found the net five times in 2002, and managed just three goals throughout the 2006 tournament.
This powerful and aggressive attacking play makes Sweden one of the most dangerous and entertaining sides of this year's competition.
It's worth noting that Sweden are currently drawing with Japan, a result that all but guarantees them a spot in the playoffs.
