Germany wins 3-1.

 

[Bubba88]

sorry sweden, you know your WC will be over today

 

[Nordic*]

sorry sweden, you know your WC will be over today

What, the final is today??

4-2 Sweden.

 

[BobDobolina]

sorry sweden, you know your WC will be over today

This isn't Fußball

3-1 for Sweden.

 

[wwvdw]

Why is everyone predicting Germany scoring a goal? Fasth is playing so there's a 75% chance of a shutout.

3-0 Sweden

 

[vippe]

Still dont think I've seen a single Finn predict a swedish victory Not gonna lie, i'm a bit nervous but I do think Sweden will win this game.

Here´s one but to be honest I´m hoping Germany will win !

Believe or not, I've actually always rooted Sweden even though I'm from Finland. I think it began with Peter Forsberg and then realizing that the Finnish fans are not so nice people compared to other fanbases. Good example is how swedish people usually hope for Finland to success if they're out themselves. But here in Finland it won't ever happen. People are just so jealous - good sign of that was when they showed two times in tv the Sweden's match against Norway, just to celebrate them losing it. Hah, I think finnish people like more Sweden losing than their own winning and that says a bit about it.

But here's hoping for a good game and swedish victory! The defence lines seems to be now nicely balanced with one offensive and defensive defender in each line.

haha that's a bit funny actually Myself I always root for a play off game between Sweden and Finland.. and I like Finland when they're not playing Sweden aswell

 

[EmeticDonut]

Sweden ought to win this one. Germany will certainly put on a fight, but Sweden will prevail in the end.

 

[Everlasting]

Sweden will win becuse....... VIKTOR FASTH!

Germany should count themself lucky if the score more then 1 goal.

 

[Bubba88]

This isn't Fußball

3-1 for Sweden.

I know I missed something


GO GERMANY


Germany 7
Sweden 2

 

[n1cON]

Maybe we can put up a huge suprise against a well ballanced swedish squad as we did versus Russia Who knows, it´s hockey ^^
The last games we weren´t that lucky and bounces went in for the opponents so hopefully it goes the other way this time

Anyway I´m proud of the german team and excited to see a hard fought hockey game tonight.

LET´S GO GERMANY !

I think everyone just downroot for sweden for fun, not actually for hate In football, "everyone" roots for sweden because we aint even in the competitions. Sweden is suprisedly loved, but its just loved like a brother so you can hope him to lose to get a good laugh sometimes

3-0 Sweden

Oh, I am certain we are going to score a goal. We've been scoring plenty of late. Admittedly most of those we scored on Endras, but still.

If Fasth is stopping our own goals as well, he is going to be my hero.

Jyri-Petteri mixing it up

Three words and hyphen: Jyri-Petteri Rönn

You have been warned.

Oh god. How could they pick Rönn?? It's insane!

 

[Oyabun]

I haven't seen Germanys matches but I heard they have played well. Sweden only performed well against the US so far. Perhaps/hopefully Swedens best performances are yet to come now that the do or die games begin.

This game ends 2-2 and Sweden scores the winner in OT.

 

[joe89]

A Finnish and Czech ref pair, yeah I'm predicting ticky-tack to be called. We haven't been a very disciplined group, so I hope that'll change starting with this game.

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

Sweden 5 Germany 1
Patrik Berglund is number one

 

[TollefsenFan]

Go Sweden Ey EY EYEYEYEY

GL from Norway!

 

[ts11]

As a fan of the Swedish NT first (despite seldomly posting in their GDTs) and the DEB team only second (although it's close), I simply have to root for them.

3:1 Sweden

Would have been different if its the bronze medal game, but as long as Sweden has a shot for Gold ... Go Sweden!

 

[Sanderson]

I'd expect this game to be similar to the Czech Republic - USA game. One team trying to apply some pressure early on and succeeding to keep up with the opponent for some time, before ultimately having no chance against the superior team.

I can't see Germany being dangerous on offense, in good position on defense and not taking penalties all at the same time, and that's what would be needed to top Sweden.
