Not a Great Victory

In the World Cup qualifying game today, Sweden played the Faroe Islands. This is a small group of islands in the North Sea. It belongs to Denmark, but has some self government and its own football team. It has a very small population, smaller than the city we live in. There are, of course, always eleven players from the start in each team, but a smaller country has fewer people to chose from, thus a lower possibility of having a good team. Despite the odds, Sweden did not win by more than 2-0. It is a victory, which is a main thing, but it is not great and does not do well for the amount of goals made, which can be of importance if our team end up with an equal amount of points to another team in the end of the qualifying round. Well, Sweden still has a chance to get to the World Cup, and this is the most important thing now.
