Sweden has players from 26 different clubs, a unique combination in the World Cup. This is according to statistician Fredrik Blekstad, who compares World Cup dribbling with potato production. Sweden has to work on its dribbling, but the potato harvest is strong.
Why is this important?
Fredrik Blekstad has been noticed by Erling Haaland on social media. He has also worked for the Norwegian national team and has a lot of experience with statistics. Sweden and Cape Verde are, for example, the only two countries where the 26 players represent 26 different clubs.
