The Sweden national football team has fired its manager Jon Dahl Tomasson after a historically poor first half of the World Cup qualifiers. Sweden is last in their qualifying group with one point after four matches.

What happened?

Norway has scored 29 goals in six matches while Sweden has scored two and been shut out in three of four matches.

Why is that?

Norway has made a total of 123 attacking attempts in the qualifiers, which is the fourth most of all. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | Attacking attempts | 123 | | Shots on goal | 49 | | Goals scored | 29 |

What's next?

Sweden has a tough uphill climb to qualify for the World Cup. Last result: Sweden 4-3 Algeria (2025-06-10). Norway, on the other hand, looks like they have a good chance of making it to the World Cup festival in North America.
