The best from the 2004 European Football Championship, which was played in Portugal. Sweden had a strong tournament and reached the quarter-finals. The tournament saw a sensational winner in Greece, who won the final against the home nation Portugal with a young Cristiano Ronaldo in the team.

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.

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.
