Surely it is difficult to let go of the 1994 World Cup?
This unforgettable summer that is so close to my heart.
A completely new world eleven has been announced and two Swedes take their place in the dream team.

To this day, people still remember the strong images from the bronze medal celebration in Rålambshovsparken when the WC team returned to Swedish soil and were received as national heroes. The 1994 World Cup will forever live on with the Swedes and continue to remind us of what once was when the national team shocked world football.

Ravelli is one and the other is actually Jonas Thern in the midfield. Then there are a lot of brass, when they won the WC gold in 1994, and further icons such as Paolo Maldini, Roberto Baggio, Gheorghe Hagi and Hristo Stoichkov.
“Decent starting line-up,” writes Ravelli along with the picture.
