In an interview with Göteborgsposten national team coach Thomas Dennerby talks about what is beyond today's national team he names five players: KIF Örebro's defender Stina Segerström, midfielders Johanna Almgren (Kopparbergs/Göteborg), Nilla Fischer (Malmö FF) and Magdalena Esseryd (Sunnanå) and finally Sunnanå's striker Madeleine Edlund. But none of these will play for Sweden in the World Cup qualifier later this month. Dennerby says it will be more or less the team that played the European Championship, with the addition of a few national team veterans like Linda Fagerström (Djurgården) and Therese Lundin (Malmö FF).

Dennerby continues to say that he thinks that the swedish players needs to improve their physique if we are going to be able to compete with Germany and USA. He wants to build his national team on a well organized defense, but it's important to give a lot of freedom and initiative to the players in the attacking game.
