Barca striker and Champions League hero Henrik Larsson believes Sweden can reach the World Cup final in Germany this summer.


Since 1958, Sweden have only made it past the second round once in 1994, but Larsson is convinced that the current Swedish team can go all the way to the world cup final:

"The game against Trinidad & Tobago is very important for us and we must go out and do our very best. The goal must of course be that in the long run we can go all the way to the final. If you don't think that then you don't have anything to play for in a tournament like this We are more or the less same players in the squad compared with four years ago which means more experience which is good for everyone in the squad. Now, all players in the squad have got a responsibility and it is very important that everyone lives up to that responsibility if the team want to succeed."

Despite turning 35 this year, Henrik Larsson did not rule out continuing playing on an international level for Sweden after the World Cup:

"Let us see after this tournament and after I have made my comeback with Helsingborg in July. When I came back into the national squad in 2004 I promised myself to never say never again, but I am back in Sweden now and after that, let us see. It all depends on if I feel good and if I still can supply anything and if coach Lagerback still wants me. But all this is a question for the future."
