Netherlands pk is a lock. I really don't see them losing to Sweden without Ibra.

Unlike our opponents, Sweden has something to play for, namely the spot as best group runner up which means direct qualification. A win guarantees us the spot while a draw could do it as well if Greece don´t win against Georgia, Croatia don´t win by more then 4 goals against Lettland and if Portugal wins over Denmark. That might be to much to hope for.

Sweden will be the more motivated team, besides we want revange from the 4-1 beating in Amsterdam. It will be a hard task, Netherlands havent lost in like forever so I understand why the pk line looks like a steal.

Ibra is out but the truth is he hasnt played a significant role since we met Finland 07/06/11 when he scored a hattrick. Last Thursday he was a ghost, you can of course blame that on Finland who dominated big portions of the game. At the same time he stated at the press conference that he no longer feels the same joy and motivation about soccer anymore. Most ppl overrate his importance to this team, its not like we are helpless without him. In fact, when Hamrén took over as coach Ibra had a break from the national team and we played really well without him. Ibra wont support the team on Thuesday, instead he will fly home to Milano on Monday.

Impressive by Sweden, some teams just need play as a team instead of focusing on 1 player.
