How good, or bad, was Sweden's performance in the World Cup? Did the right team win? Should Zlatan have been benched? Does the national captain regret anything? SVT Sport remembers the summer in Germany 2006.

The best from the 2004 European Football Championship, which was played in Portugal. Sweden had a strong tournament and reached the quarter-finals. The tournament saw a sensational winner in Greece, who won the final against the home nation Portugal with a young Cristiano Ronaldo in the team.

Lars Lagerbäck's last major championship as Swedish national team captain. Henrik Larsson made an unexpected comeback and Sweden started by beating Greece 2-0 after goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Petter Hansson. After two straight losses, Sweden was still eliminated in the group stage.

The 2012 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2012, was the 14th European Championship for men's national football teams organised by UEFA. The final tournament, between 8 June and 1 July 2012, was hosted for the first time by Poland and Ukraine, and was won by Spain, who beat Italy 4–0 in the final at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine.
