Sweden's shocking start to 2026 World Cup Qualifying means everyone's talking about Alexander Isak, but the Liverpool striker and Viktor Gyokeres at their best might struggle to mask the team's defensive issues. Having scraped a single point from two games, they now face runaway Group B leaders Switzerland, who crushed the same opponents that caused Sweden so many problems.

He's only overseen two competitive fixtures, but Jon Dahl Tomasson's seat is already red-hot. That's how hapless Sweden have been. The 2-2 draw with Slovenia was disappointing enough, and then came the 2-0 defeat to 91-ranked Kosovo, who have never qualified for a major tournament.
Sweden's defending was beyond anything you'll see at your local Sunday league game. Each Kosovo goal stemmed from a simple pass straight down the center of the pitch — in both cases, Sweden's defenders were nowhere to be seen. All-out attack was the approach that Tomasson favored at Blackburn Rovers too, and it engendered nearly as many ugly defeats as victories.
Breel Embolo could fill his boots if Sweden don't adapt their approach. The Rennes marksman scored three goals across Switzerland's the 4-0 and 3-0 victories over Kosovo and Slovenia respectively. Murat Yakin's men are firmly in charge of the group, and unlike Sweden, who have failed to reach three of the past four World Cups, they've become a mainstay in the latter stages of major tournaments.
