1) Football statistics.
Mjällby will win SM gold and shows that statistics are not everything. In rounds 1 to 15, the team was statistical fifth in expected goals, third at the end of goal, fifth at the end in the goal zone – but at the same time scored the most goals.
Statistics Max has produced that the team in rounds 16-20 was in places 15, 10 and 13 in the same categories – but scored the second most goal. And won as a Mjällby machine.
2) The statistics quote.
“We know everything about expected points and stuff, but when the map does not match reality, it is the reality that applies. We have found different ways of winning matches.” Coach Anders Torstensson to Aftonbladet.
3) The sports manager.
Hasse Larsson looks to sell Noel Törnqvist for around SEK 30 million and still have the goalkeeper the season out. If Larsson succeeds in putting that double, it is a sign that 2025 is the year when Mjällby is doing everything right.
4) The pole venture.
Johanna Duplantis had no nice Finn fighting debut but the year has been good and the next will be better. The parents Helena and Greg take over the training. “Now damn. Now it will be Duplantist training,” says Helena to Aftonbladet.
5) The crash landing.
Norwegian Olympic champion Markus Rooth crashed during a pole jump training. The ten -fights missed the carpet and misses the World Cup.
6) Match ball.
Truls Möregårdh thumped his way into the pingish history when he won a Grand Smash competition as the first European.
7) Mammadramat.
It was much more drama when Sarah Sjöström became a mother than when she swam home her gold. The son was born in the ambulance.
8) The World Cup money.
The money from Shakira’s song for the 2010 Soccer World Cup (“Waka, Waka”) would go to charity in Africa. According to Swedish Radio, it is unclear how much landed right.
9) Tennis parts.
A photographer tried to sneak out, the referee thought that Benjamin Bonzi was disturbed, so the first serve would go over. Opponent Daniil Medvedev and the US Open audience responded by creating chaos.
10) The boxer.
Kristoffer Olsson plays football again after his brain injury and now he is also going up in the ring against his friend Maic Sema. One must hope for more ploj than a slugger party.
11) Savings package.
Swedish elite football will save SEK 40 million. The background is worse agreement for broadcasting rights.
I look forward to that toward
Friday 5 September. World Cup-Valley Slovenia-Sweden.
