As I promised, Logan. ;)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The man who could well save us in the World Cup if he just gets himself together. I know he has it in him, I know it. And so does he, I'm sure, but there's something not quite right at the moment.
"Described as 'half ballerina, half gangster', Sweden's Juventus striker could be England's undoing in Germany 2006." That was how the Sunday Times (UK) described him and god, I hope they were right.
Australia beat Japan! How cool was that? Three goals in the last ten minutes... The poor Japanese team had no idea what hit them.
As for the handball team, I think they deserve a picture as well. From left to right - Marcus Ahlm, line player; Pelle Linders, didn't play last night but is a great defence player; and team captain Stefan Lövgren.
I really miss the good old days of EC 2002. That was an amazing team, and it's not the same without the oldies. At this point, Lövgren and Vranjes are the only players left from the 'Golden Team'. I wonder if we'll ever get up to the standard we had back then.... I mean, really, we were unbeatable. Other teams feared us, the dangerous Bengan Boys. Handball players all over the world whimpered at the mention of names such as Wislander, Lindgren, Vranjes, Pettersson, Lövgren, Svensson and Gentzel. Now, well, it is what it is. We're not bad, but we're far from feared and far from the form we need if we're going to become a leading nation again. Will the new kids be able to hack it?
I ran into Tereze at H&M today! She's home this week to see her sister graduate and goes back to Italy on Sunday, I think. Really good to see her, I haven't seen her in ages. I think she found her home in Italy. Will be good to see her on Thursday again, before she goes home and we leave for Spain.
Yikes. Barcelona is less than a week away.

Mmm, Zlatan! Makes me wanna be a soccer fan ;)
You better keep writing when you're in Barcelona. And posting pictures. :P
Come on, don't say that Pelle Linders doesn't make you want to be a handball fan? ;)
I can make no guarantees about posting while in Spain - computers at school are few and hard to get by. But I'll do my best!
*smooch*
