Janne Andersson’s national team started well into the European Championship year with two victories in the World Cup qualification against Georgia (1:0) and Kosovo (3:0). The two full successes were also bitterly needed for the Tre Kronor, after all, in Group B, as in the upcoming European Championships, a high caliber is waiting with Spain and thus the favourite for the group victory. The goals scored in the last competitive match in Kosovo were Augustinsson (12th), Isak (35th) and Larsson per penalty (70th).
The Andersson-Elf has played six European Championships to date and achieved the best result in 1992 in their own country with the entry into the semi-finals against Germany (2:3). The last tournament in France in 2016 ended without victory after the preliminary round – Ireland (1:1), Italy (0:1), Belgium (0:1). The European Championship qualification was really good with only one defeat (0-3 in Spain) (six wins, three draws). At home, the Scandinavians took a point against the Spaniards (1:1).
Sweden’s top star Zlatan Ibrahimovic renounces the 2021 European Championship. Due to a knee injury, the striker is braked and can only take on the spectator role. Coach Andersson nominated three Bundesliga players – Leipzig’s Emil Forsberg, Robin Quaison of Mainz 05 and Bremen’s Ludwig Augustinsson. Former HSV players Albin Ekdal and Marcus Berg also belong to the national squad.

The Finnish national team came sluggishly into the 2021 football year and separated in the first two World Cup qualifying matches with a draw from Bosnia (2:2) and Ukraine (1:1). The Uhus also have a big calibre in the group with World Champion France. After the two preliminary games, it doesn’t look like Markku Kanerva’s national team will be playing next year’s first world championship in Qatar after the first EURO this year. At 1-1 in Ukraine, the scores fell late. At first it looked like the home team scored a 1-0 goal for Moraes (80th), but on the other hand Pukki equalised by penalty to 1-1 (89th) and saved a counter.
The Kanerva-Elf played for the first time in the history of the association at an European Championships and qualified second in a group with Italy for the final round. In the ten qualifying games, both games were lost to the Squadra Azzurra and in Bosnia (1:4) and Greece (1:2). Nevertheless, behind Italy (30 points), it was second place (18 points) ahead of the Greeks with 14 points.
Midfielder Temu Pukki from Norwich City is the most valuable player in the Finnish squad (7 million). In addition to the former champion, there are three players from the Bundesliga – Joel Pohjanpalo (Union Berlin), Fredrik Jensen (FC Augsburg) and goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky (Bayer Leverkusen).
