0-2! 0-1! Sweden suffered a double defeat, 3 consecutive losses with 0 goals, 1 point in 4 rounds, and the wild card extension is as solid as rock.

Swedish football is experiencing an unprecedented winter. In a key match of the European World Cup qualifiers, the Swedish team, ranked 32nd in the world, lost 0-1 at home to Kosovo, causing another big upset. What's even more embarrassing is that they were defeated by Kosovo 2-0 in the first round, and now they have suffered a double defeat at home and away. After 4 games, they have 1 draw, 3 losses and 1 point, and they are the deputy squad leader. They have scored 2 goals and conceded 7 goals, and the goal difference has been 5 goals. Bo has lost 3 games in a row and scored no goals. The Premier League striker combination of Isaac and Dzekeresh, worth as much as 200 million euros, once again misfired. In addition, the famous Premier League player Elanga is also useless. Is the Premier League's striker so "watery"?

In this game, Sweden is not without its advantages. The ball possession rate is as high as 68%, the number of shots is 16 to 10, the passing success rate is over 87%, and the rhythm is almost controlled from beginning to end. But their forward players just put their shooting boots in the Premier League and didn't remember to bring them back home. In the end, Kosovo used an efficient counterattack to score the only goal of the game: in the 32nd minute, Hoza sent a through ball from the front of the penalty area. Aslani arrived immediately and easily hooked the goal in front of the goalkeeper. The strong team ranked 32nd in the world was beaten home and away by Kosovo, ranked 91st. This is too unpopular.

The 200 million strikers were combined into paper kittens. They scored 0 goals in 3 consecutive games and became the focus of criticism from the outside world. Isaac, Liverpool's new core, is worth 120 million euros; Dzekielesh, Arsenal's main center, is worth 75 million euros. The two of them combined for nearly 200 million euros, but they handed over an embarrassing answer of 0 goals and 0 assists in three consecutive World Cup preliminaries.

In this game, Isaac took 6 shots and 2 of them were on target, but all of them failed; Zhekeresh was even invisible throughout the game, and only took 2 shots and 1 of them was on target. This kind of performance is completely worth their price tag. In the first round against Kosovo, Isaac came off the bench and missed 4 shots, while Djekeresh also missed 2 shots. Facing Switzerland, the Swedish team only had 3 shots and was suppressed throughout the game, eventually losing 0-2. After three games, the Swedish striker took a total of 15 shots, with 0 goals, 0 assists, and 0 highlights. This is not bad luck, but a manifestation of a complete collapse of state, system, and mentality.

After this defeat, Sweden has 0 wins in 4 games! With only 1 point from 1 draw and 3 losses, they are 9 points behind the leader Switzerland, with only two rounds left, and they have completely missed the top spot in the group. The hope of competing for second place is also slim. It is 6 points behind Kosovo and 4 goals lower. Is it possible that Sweden, which has turned into a point-giving boy, will completely miss the World Cup?

No, life is still very tough. According to the rules, teams that are ranked high in the UEFA Nations League but have not advanced through the World Cup qualifying rounds can enter the play-offs through "wild cards". Sweden ranked first in Group C of the last UEFA Nations League and theoretically has higher priority. As long as the top players in front of them (Spain, France, Germany, Portugal, England) all advance through the main draw, Sweden will be able to qualify for the play-offs. Judging from the current standings of each group, it is a sure thing, so it is basically no problem to overtake as a wild card and enter the play-offs. So the question is, can Sweden finally reverse its strength and enter the World Cup? When will the first goal of the Premier League's 200 million striker combination arrive?
