Sweden’s Group of Death • Republic of Ireland 156.00 • Sweden 101.00 • Italy 22.00 • Belgium 13.00 You have to feel a little sorry for Sweden. Their fight to stay in the Euro 2016 tournament took them all the way up to a do-or-die play-off with neighbors Denmark, which they won through but the […]

• Ronaldo scores 4 • Benzema scores 3 • Kovacic scores 1 You always knew it was going to be a bit of a one sided affair. Malmo FF are not the team they were when they qualified for the Champions League and that’s shown in their form, whilst Real Madrid are playing some of […]

There simply isn’t a bigger match for Scandinavians that Denmark Vs Sweden. The two teams have quite the little rivalry between them and typically that would be stoked up ahead of any fixture twixt the two by the sporting press and local media, but despite the two meeting up in a crucial Euro 2016 play-off […]

The Sweden Denmark rivalry on the football pitch is well known but these two Scandinavian nations have a competitive and comparative relationship that transcends mere sporting encounters. The Euro 2016 play-off game twixt the two countries in November might decide who goes through to the finals in France next year, but regardless of result this […]

With another player coming forward to talk about drugs in sport you have to brace yourself for revelations that will destroy any faith you had in the teams’ sense of fair play, however Viktor Loov’s drug allegations seem to stem not from a want of a level skating rink but more from a kind of […]

With the press coverage of Zlatan Ibrahimovic now bordering on the schizophrenic we look at how the press is failing not just society with its greedy self-interested pursuit of profit margins but damaging gamblers’ ability to place considered wagers through failure to provide adequate and accurate, and most importantly pertinent, information for their readers, viewers […]

From the pre-game hype you’d think the second leg of Celtic vs Malmo in the Champion League play-off was the world cup final, and given their last match was a 3-2 thriller the atmosphere in the Swedbank Stadium was always going to be just as raucous. Celtic have a bit of a reputation as being […]

Luck has always played a large part in law enforcement and a good policeman needs a massive slice of it, but the Swedish police discovered this week, they don’t have any at all In deductive reasoning it is often said, albeit slightly tongue in cheek, that if it looks like a duck, swims like a […]

The protectionist regulatory frameworks that have for so long protected some nations’ gambling sectors is not just under threat from EU harmonization but by the nature of human progress itself The status quo has been around longer than people believe. Despite wars, revolutions, military coups and social uprisings of numerous varieties it always seems to […]

Konami might be famous for making Metal Gear Solid and infamous for Silent Hill but their gambling games are selling well in the background as Sweden will attest There is a special place in a geek’s heart for some of the early video games that launched an entire genre of entertainment that now pulls in […]

The Swedish Nobel Peace Center has pulled the plug on its cooperation with FIFA, losing out on 800,000 EUR a year by doing so, but what does that say about Football’s governing body? The legend that was Robin Williams once famously pointed out that soccer (as he called it) was a terribly passive aggressive game. […]

With the Women’s World Cup underway in Canada has the pinnacle of the female game been overshadowed by the ongoing scandal at FIFA? Football is, we are so often reminded by those with a taste for mindless cliché, a game of two halves and yet just recently it appears a more accurate assessment of affairs […]

The world is full of fakes, from imitation fur coats to badly replicated electronics, but shouldn’t an autobiography at least attempt to be genuine? Being of hippy stock I had the sort of parents that thought the Boy Scouts was a crypto-fascist organization of the deferential and brainwashed, I thus find myself somewhat surprised that […]

The Eurovision Song Contest is a cavalcade of camp chaos and maddeningly mediocre music, but it’s not to be missed this year, especially if you live in Sweden Eurovision 2015 Is Here • Sweden favorites at 2.55 • Finland out in Semi-final • Serbia in with a chance The Eurovision Song Contest comes to a […]

The Swedish challenger to Erica Anabella Farias, Klara Svensson, has just days left before she gets her shot at the WBC Light Welterweight title in Copenhagen Swedish gambling laws might be a touch anachronistic, state controlled monopolies being about as fit for purpose in the 21st century as a horse and buggy is for the […]

The Swedish driver Marcus Ericsson is battling hard to do well at Sauber, but perhaps the price he paid to join the team, some 16m GBP, is just a little too high for what he’s gained Swedish gambling laws are a tad anachronistic, a monopoly controlled by Svenska Spel applying to the internet as well […]

The World Men’s Curling Championship was settled last weekend and against the odds it was the Swedes who came out on top over long term rivals Norway, and they loved it Sportsman like conduct, as well as being inherently sexist in terminology, is one of the more bizarre aspects of the human condition.

We take a look at how Ice Hockey’s reputation has led to some violent encounters during the game, and how one player decided not to wait for the start The movies get a lot of things wrong. Piranha are, in real life, far more vicious and frantic than the films have ever portrayed them, which […]

It would appear it’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s turn to be fodder for the carcass cleaning machine that is the press, with a new list of his silliest statements hitting the internet The press, a group of people who pompously claim to be responsible only to the truth, and then regularly publish a complete pack of lies, […]
