Swedish football not quite dead just yet and a new player for AIK

Malmö managed to squeeze past Maccabi Haifa last night and will next face FC Thün (Thun?) of Switzerland. Regardless of the fact that Thün has beaten Dynamo Kiev to get here, the chances of having a Swedish team in the Champions League look very promising.

In other news, AIK has gifted it's fan base with a new "most disliked player" with the re-signing of wing-back Jimmy Tamandi as a free agent last week. Tamandi "helped" to play AIK out of the first league last year, got fired by new club Salernitana and has done god knows what the last six months. Since some AIK fans aren't happy unless there's players to hate, preferably non-white ones, and AIK desperately needed stiffer competition for the left and right back positions, everyone's happy. Especially Arash Talebinejad and Göran Marklund who both has been out of favor with the haters and in favor with the manager. People are strange.
