FIFA World Cup: Lagerbäck displays Swedish strength

/noticias.info/ Sweden will field their strongest possible team in the friendly against the Czech Republic on 17 August for a game that coach Lars Lagerbäck sees as vital preparation as his team attempt to clinch first place in 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying Group 8.

'Europe's best'
"They are Europe's best, or perhaps second-best team, and for us it's a very important game," Lagerbäck said. "We've got a tough autumn ahead so we have to prepare ourselves in the best possible way." FC Barcelona striker Henrik Larsson has returned, while recent AFC Ajax signing Markus Rosenberg has once again been included. Anders Svensson misses out due to injury.
