How good, or bad, was Sweden's performance in the World Cup? Did the right team win? Should Zlatan have been benched? Does the national captain regret anything? SVT Sport remembers the summer in Germany 2006.

The 2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan was the first World Cup to be played in Asia. Sweden was drawn into what was known as the "Group of Death" along with Argentina, England and Nigeria. Sweden sensationally won the group after, among other things, Anders Svensson's classic free kick goal against Argentina. Brazil eventually won the World Cup gold medal and Ronaldo became the tournament's top scorer.

Lars Lagerbäck's last major championship as Swedish national team captain. Henrik Larsson made an unexpected comeback and Sweden started by beating Greece 2-0 after goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Petter Hansson. After two straight losses, Sweden was still eliminated in the group stage.

The best from the 2000 European Football Championship, which was played in Belgium and Holland. Sweden had an unsuccessful tournament and did not advance from the group stage. France eventually emerged as European champions after a dramatic final against Italy.

Malmö FF's golden dreams from the mid-1990s have turned into despair and foreboding. In 1999, something happened that had never happened before; the club leaves the Allsvenskan on its own initiative, after having underperformed sportingly for a long time. Many within the association are shocked and paralyzed, but a young promising striker in Zlatan Ibrahimović and a newly appointed sporting director in Hasse Borg become the club's new hope for the future.
