Eight Swedish Sweethearts Of The 2018 World Cup
Reading the WhatsApp conversation of a girlfriend’s hilarious (but accurate) World Cup updates to her boyfriend prompted us to think beyond the game. After all, there is so much more to soccer (futbol) than a ball going in a net. In fact, there are beautiful faces behind every goal, assist and save.
Without further ado, here are eight of Sweden’s World Cup Sweethearts. These men are good with their feet but have a face (and body) that could knock the breath out of their fiercest competitor – watch out Switzerland.
