Brilliant game that, one of the best I've seen at this World Cup. Shame we won't get Spain v Japan part 2 in the semi, but should be a decent match.

This game was really intense in the last half hour or so, the Japanese played so well but as a Swede I'm thrilled that they didn't manage to push through despite the many opportunities.

As a Swede, I'm honestly thrilled. Really hoping we go all the way.

Eliminating the USA and Japan is quite the path for Sweden.
