Damallsvenskan Newsblog - Swedish squad for European championships announced

National team head coach Marika Domanski Lyfors announced the 20 player squad for the European Championships in England. A lot of experienced players, 6 with more than 100 caps, with a few young firsttimers mixed in: defender Anna Paulsson (Umeå), who has done a great Damallsvenskan season so far, and Linköping midfielder Caroline Seger, probably mostly picked because of her Algarve Cup performance, and winger/attacker Maria Karlsson, who has been an essential piece in Linköpings successfull attack, and Kopparbergs/Göteborg's striker Lotta Schelin. The entire squadlist can be found here.

Most of the press focus on the newcomers, a lot on Caroline Seger who likes to talk big: "Everybody is going to know who Caroline Seger is after the competition. I'm going to decide the entire championship."
