More on the national team

Naturally, should recent Ajax signing Marcus Rosenberg succeed in Holland, he would most certainly feature in a World Cup squad. He did rather poorly in his latest national game though and has shown uneven form, as most young players do. Sweden currently has far more good strikers than high-class defenders. Thankfully, Mikael Nilsson escaped the insanity that is 'Arry Redknapp's Southampton for Panathinaikos and Erik Edman should get plenty of games at Tottenham, as should Mellberg at Villa. Fourth defender is Teddy Lucic of BK Häcken (once an AIK player), a unique player in many ways, more on him later. Nilsson fights with willpower-fueled Alexander Östlund of Feyenoord for the right-back spot. Östlund as a young striker once scored the goal that secured AIK's title in 1998 .

In fact, should Östlund keep Nilsson out, Sweden's whole defensive line would consist of former AIK players.

Well, my question to You today would read like this:
Why do You thing "Arry" is such a cocksucker...(shit, there You have it...) he´s a pretty good shouter I think!
;-)
