Shackled Swede Rytting Kaneryd still finds a way in Germany rout
The attacking play of Sweden's Johanna Rytting Kaneryd has attracted plenty of attention at the Women's Euros, and not all of it has been welcome - on Saturday, Germany's defence marked her tightly for much of the game but she still managed to create a goal in a stunning 4-1 win. The 28-year-old has been electric on Sweden's right flank, tormenting defenders and creating a slew of chances as the Swedes topped Group C ahead of the Germans to set up a quarter-final against the runners-up in a group containing France, England, Netherlands and Wales. "I would be lying if I said that I wasn't frustrated," Rytting Kaneryd said of the extra attention she got from the German defence. "I'm always frustrated when I don't get to do everything I want on the field. In a match like this, it's important to keep your head cool and make the best of the situations when I actually get the ball. "At the end of the day, it's about winning football matches, and I always want to contribute with as much as I can. In this game it wasn't as much as in the last game, so you have to be sharp when you get your chances." Even without the ball, Rytting Kaneryd exerted an outsized influence on the game - by forcing the Germans to keep a close eye on her, space opened up for her teammates, and her assist for Lina Hurtig's 4-1 goal crowned an unselfish performance. "I don't know if they thought that they needed to keep an eye on me, the feeling is that they started the game extremely strong, we really had a hard time in the first 10 minutes," Rytting Kaneryd explained.

Shackled Swede Rytting Kaneryd still finds a way in Germany rout
July 13 (Reuters) - The attacking play of Sweden's Johanna Rytting Kaneryd has attracted plenty of attention at the Women's Euros, and not all of it has been welcome -- on Saturday, Germany's defence marked her tightly for much of the game but she still managed to create a goal in a stunning 4-1 win. The 28-year-old has been electric on Sweden's right flank, tormenting defenders and creating a slew of chances as the Swedes topped Group C ahead of the Germans to set up a quarter-final against the runners-up in a group containing France, England, Netherlands and Wales. "I would be lying if I said that I wasn't frustrated," Rytting Kaneryd said of the extra attention she got from the German defence.

"We could have been one or two goals down (but) we did well in the game and became more direct in our play, and it paid off."

Germany vs Sweden: Women's Euro preview, team news & predicted lineups
Germany face Sweden in a match that will decide the winner of Group C in the Women's Euros. Christian Wück's side will have to win the game to finish as a group winner since Sweden have a superior goal difference. The eight-time champions beat Poland and Denmark with five second-half goals. Meanwhile, the inaugural winners narrowly beat their neighbours before scoring three past the tournament debutants. Advertisement While both coaches might fancy making changes to their starting lineups, the prospect of finishing the group stage on a high note would give confidence to the knockout stage. Accordingly, we might not see a repeat of the U21 Euros where Antonio Di Salvo made eleven changes to the XI that secured Germany a quarter-final spot. Germany won all the group stage games in the 2022 Euros, and no opponent player scored against them until the defeat in the final to hosts England. Like Germany, Sweden maintained their record of getting past this stage in all their Women's Euros participations. There are already two teams that have finished with a maximum of nine points. Spain tied England's record of scoring 14 goals in a group stage, while Norway won all three games by a single goal margin. Switzerland and Italy are also qualified for the quarter-finals, having finished with four points in their respective groups. Norway face Italy in the first quarter-final next Wednesday before Spain play against hosts Switzerland in Bern the next day. Advertisement On Sunday, the last two qualified teams will be known from 'the Group of Death'. Defending champions England can decide their fate by themselves after a big win against the Netherlands, who now need to beat France by a three-goal margin. Germany v Sweden: Predicted lineups Germany: Berger; Linder, Knaak, Minge, Wamser; Nüsken, Senß; Bühl, Dallmann, Brand; Schüller Sweden: Falk; Lundkvist, Björn, Ilestedt, Nildén; Angeldahl, Asllani, Zigiotti Olme; Kaneryd, Blackstenius, Janogy
