Getting Friendly With the Swedes

The United States Men's National Team is back in action tonight at 8:30 in an international friendly against Sweden, and that means good soccer and sexy women. Tonight's contest is being held in Carson, California, so we're going to be in for a heavier dose of the puritanical American fans. Since we probably won't get any crowd shots of hot Swedes in the crowd, I figured I'd provide the blond goodness myself. Continue after the jump for a quick preview of the friendly and some more fans of the beautiful game.

Things will surely look different tonight then when the Swedes hosted the Americans back in August. Star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic carried the home side to a hard-fought 1-0 victory in a match against an American roster stacked with European talent. The biggest stars remain with their respective European clubs which means increased opportunities for several young stars looking to break into the starting 11.

Enjoy the battle, and follow along in the comments if you're in to that sort of thing. I'll be back with an update later in the night.
