I am trying to find the correct words for this experience, but it’s hard. Mikael and I have experienced the most important event in Swedish sports history. And it was my sport. How incredible is that? I still can’t believe we were there to be completely honest.

When tickets went on pre-sale in March 2025, I bought tickets the same day for Round of 16 all the way through to the finals. Surely Sweden would get to play at least a few of those games. Oh boy were we in for a surprise.
