Football National Team

The World Cup in football is coming up. Sweden is not playing, our national team was not good enough in the qualification games. Tonight, though, it played a friendly game against Belgium, which will participate in the World Cup. I was not interested in the game. How could the result be anything but another lost game, considering that Belgium is highly ranked? It could do nothing to boost the team for the World Cup either, since the team will not participate. I will follow the World Cup for the great sport event that it is, but it would be better if Sweden would be in.
