Sweden rest easy for Ireland clash after request for specially made beds

Sweden’s national team are leaving nothing to chance when it comes to their efforts in getting out of Group E in the European Championship this summer.

The general manager, Lasse Richt, has organised for specially made beds to be shipped over from Sweden to the team’s hotel Chateau des Torelles in the resort of Pornichet, about 70km west of Nantes.

“It may sound drastic, but it is something we thought about carefully,” Richt told Swedish paper Expressen.
