Henrik Larsson Playing For Sweden
Filed Under Euro 2008 |
Henrik Larsson has been one of Sweden star soccer players for years now and all of the Swede fans will get to enjoy him for at least one more Euro Cup. The Sweden coach announced the Sweden players who would be playing in the tournament and sure enough the twenty third name called was Henrik Larsson. Henrik who is 36 years old may be aging but still feels he has enough in the tank for a run at the trophy this year. Clearly Sweden management also thinks the star is still good enough to play in the tournament or else they would have left him off the roster.
Henrik has retired from international play back in 2006 but was still playing inter-league soccer and still scoring goals. This way enough to get the invite to the Euros and he didn’t pause in taking them up on the offer. Teddy Lucic another older Sweden player was also asked to join the team but he turned the offer down. Now I don’t know how he could turn down an opportunity to play for his own country, but sure enough Teddy did.
Now all Sweden fans now exactly who will be representing them this year at the Euros and it’s time to begin preparation for the tournament. Time to take out all of your Sweden jerseys and start wearing them with pride as the countdown to the first kick-off is nearing closer, each and everyday. I won’t be routing for the Swede’s in this tournament but I’m sure anyone who is a fan of the Swede’s won’t have a problem with there ex-star Henrik Larsson being apart of the squad. I’m sure it’ll be his last international tournament as he’s nearing forty, but I guess you never now and should be interesting to see how he performs in this years matches.
