There have been many firsts in this World Cup like Uruguay winning their first opening match since 1970 and Brazil failing to win their first opening match since 1978. And now Sweden have won their first opening WC match since 1958 ! This was not really a convincing win but it will go a long way to put some belief in them. South Korea were poor but Sweden had to rely on the penalty to win. Sweden have always been one of the great under achievers of Europe despite producing many good players over the years. They have been runners-up once and semi finalists 3 times in the WC. Wonder if this win will give them the self belief to trouble Mexico and Germany in their coming matches.
