Sweden 1 Northern Ireland 1

Denmark midfielder Christian Poulsen was full of remorse after his actions sparked a chain of events which led to the Euro 2008 qualifier against Sweden being abandoned when a fan attacked the referee.

Sweden coach Lars Lagerback has confirmed he will pick the strongest squad available ahead of the March 1 clash with the Republic of Ireland at Lansdowne Road, Dublin.

Ajax star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been singled out as Sweden’s biggest dangerman as they prepare to face neighbours Denmark in the clash that will settle Group C at Euro 2004.

Now Henrik Larsson has confirmed he wants to continue his international career beyond Euro 2004, there is just a little matter of getting Sweden into the last eight.

Sweden will have to do without Everton’s competitive Tobias Linderoth in the Porto clash with Denmark because the midfielder is banned after being booked in both previous Group C matches against Bulgaria and Italy.
