Thing is though and I've said it on here before, many of the Swedes, whilst acknowledging he is their one world class player, the team often play better in Zlatan's absence, because he's quite lazy a player and there is far more movement in his absence. Their qualifying win over Holland being a prime example of this theory.

On a seperate note, keep an eye out for Jordan Larsson, Henrik Larsson's 15 year old son, who's tipped to be a big name in the future.

Interesting video on the Enigma that is Zlatan as a teenager.

Been researching this one in hopes that my trip over will be a reality. The match is actually outside of Stockholm in a city called Solna. Is this easy to get to does anyone know? I imagine there is some solid, efficient public transit there (seeing as it is Sweden).

Solna is part of Stockholm, about a couple of miles outside the city centre. There won't be any problems with public transport to and from the stadium.

Are SAS in trouble? I hear they are going bust and i booked with them.

**ifk101** · 13/11/2012, 1:08 PM

Yes, but wouldn't worry about it.

Hi, I'm living in Sweden and planning to go up to Stockholm for the match.

How difficult is it to get tickets in the away end? Not living in Ireland so I'm not a member of any FAI ticketing scheme/racket. I have been to plenty of away matches over the years, often arriving in the city with no match ticket and getting sorted on the day. But for once I'd like to at least try and do it properly and I have no interest in sitting amongst the Swedes. Rubbish atmosphere...

Shouldn't be too much of a problem, I don't think. The FAI will release details for non-'known away travellers' in the new year.

**brine3** · 31/12/2012, 12:51 PM

Cheers. What should I do, check the FAI site?

What is "non-known"? People who aren't friends of John Delaney?

**Torn-Ado** · 01/01/2013, 7:37 PM

I think you are thinking of The Eurovision.
