Potter assessed the defeat of Tunisia at the start of the 2026 World Cup

The head coach of the Swedish national team, Graham Potter, commented on the confident victory over Tunisia (5:1) in the match of the first round of the 2026 World Cup. The specialist praised the actions of his wards and emphasized that the team could have scored even more. "Fantastic. Great goals, five goals and a solid performance. We could have scored more. It was a great game and all the credit goes to the players, they were incredible today." Potter also noted the reaction of the team after the missed goal, emphasizing that the Swedes did not lose control of the game. "Their goal came out of nowhere. That happens in football. The most important thing is that the boys kept their composure and continued to create chances in front of the opponent's goal." Despite the convincing result, the coach does not consider the performance ideal and is already thinking about the next match. "We still have a lot to work on. Today we will enjoy the victory, recover our strength, and then start preparing for the next match," said the coach. In the second round of the group stage of the World Cup, the Swedish national team will meet with the Netherlands.
