Hoping For Amazing Playoff Between Sweden and Portugal

There is an almost tangible, nervous anticipation among all Swedish soccer enthusiasts this week. Will team Sweden manage to best Portugal in the second leg of the playoff?

Beforehand these games where depicted as a duel between Christiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, almost to the point of becoming annoying (it is a team sport after all). As we now know, Ronaldo and Portugal won the first leg of this battle.

However, it is far from over.

Zlatan adds a bit of exciting opinion to the mix though, essentially saying that Sweden deserves to win since Portugal failed to win a group that 'they should have won easily' he reportadly said to reporters from Swedish TV4.

I'm not sure I agree completely with the logic here. But one thing is for sure - we are in for one heck of a nerve wrecking game on Friends Arena this tuesday.

Personally I hope both stars, as well as their team mates, are going play on the highest level they can.
