The US94 swedish team was very formidable, with players like Larsson, Anderson, martin dahlin and Tomas brolin, I first heard of Sweden for the first time in my life during USS94 and I was just 11 years old then. Much love from Nigeria.
Thanks for reminding me about how great he was. Effortlessly leaving all behind due to being cognitively 1 sec ahead of the rest. The most delicate touch, and yeah, in amazing physical shape allowing him to materialize his vision!
World class, monster! Absurdly intelligent, technical and versatile player. It's a pity that clinical and physical problems have shortened his best days as an athlete so prematurely.
Well yeah apparently his diet wasn’t that good and he would he lots of junk food but he was still performing very well but if u don’t take the right things for ur body u can burn out quick
He suffered a nasty injury (broken ankle) the same autumn and never really recovered from it. World class player and definetely one of the best during WC-94.
I'm Brazilian and I consider this to be the best World Cup I watched. No other Cup had so many legends together in the field since then. This WC had the best Sweden, Bulgaria, Romania, USA and Nigeria of all time.
Yes, and I remember reading the newspaper before and Pele said the Brazil team was so bad he should play :) An amazing world cup, it's difficult to compare, but you're not wrong.
The Brazilian players at this time were superior to the European players. For example Jorginho who played at Bayer 04 was far more comfortable on the ball.
@@fobef Brazilian press (and big part of the population) undervalues the 1994 World Cup - considers it to be the second worst ever (after 1990 edition) - and this World champion Brazilian team. Actually, they hate and undervalues all the period between 1990 and 1998, that they call "the Dunga Era" (because Dunga wasn't offensively skilled as his predecessors and represented the cold winning objectivity that they consider that took the place of plasticity and playfulness in football at this time).
Brolin was unstoppable and at his peak during World Cup 94. It's weird how he only few months after the World Cup broke his foot and was never the same player again, and he was only 24 at the time. If there is a equivalent in the Swedish National Team today, then I would say Emil Forsberg, which is funny since they both played for the same team (GIF Sundsvall) in the early beginnings of their careers.
Some people wondered why Brolin worked so hard in the defense during -94. His reply was: -"I wanted to win so bad I could taste the need to win in my mouth..." so I ran, and ran, and ran, and ran....
Maybe the greatest Sweden player recent 50yrs..He lead Sweden win bronze medal in WC94 & get semifinal in Euro 1992...It’s regret that His peak is very short.. BTW, I don’t deny Ibrahimovic with greater career, But if you talk who is best in peak I would pick Thomas Brolin.
Vivía en suecia en esos años de juventud,el mejor verano de mi vida se junto con este tremendo mundial de suecia y de Brolin,un crack,que lindos recuerdos ✌❤👊⚽🇸🇪
This Swedish team scored (15 goals in 7 games) at the 1994 World Cup, thats up there with the most goals scored in the modern era. Spain in 2010 only scored 8 goals in 7 games when they won the World Cup, very boring champions to be honest. Had the luxury of being able to keep the ball but just weren't exciting. Even the champions Brazil in 94 scored 11 goals, Italy 8 in 7, Holland 8 in 5 etc, so Sweden 94 team along with the Brazil 82 team (15 goals in 5 games) were the most entertaining teams not to win the World Cup.
the extraordinary Tomas Brolin, Stefan Schwarz, Martin Dahlin, a young Henrik Larsson, and the lethal scorer Kennet Andersson = The best Swedish team of all time! 🇸🇪
And Patrik Andersson central defender. Later Captain of Bayern Munchen. And more, Anders Limpar (arsenal/everton) didt even play more then the bronse game. Jesper Blomqvist (later CL winner with Man U. And player for Milan) didnt play a minute because the Swedish team was so good.
@@lexkanyima2195 No, he was an offensive playmaking midfielder/attacker. Which is why I was surprised that he worked so hard defensively during the matches.
Brolin was great and thanks to Thern, Schwarz and Ingesson and their way to play it gave room for Brolin to have a free role and be creative in the offence, but Brolin worked hard in the defence as well, which I would claim Baggio, Romario etc did not in the same way
Best player in the world cup 1994 " de facto" was Roberto Baggio ," de jure " was Romario .It.s a fact that Thomas Brolin shined and left unforgetable impressions . At least he desserves An honorable mention.
@@JWD1012 in that case Kennet did a better job, and so did hristo and romario. But nowadays i cannot Care less about baggio. I know he was elected as best footballer of the year 93. Don't think he was as Good 94 I suppose.
@@latsblaster How on earth do you figure that Kennet Andersson did a better job? He only scored the winning goal in one knockout game. His other goals were an equaliser in a game Sweden won on pens and a goal in the third place play-off, a glorified friendly which nobody cares about. He had a great World Cup, but clearly not a better one than Baggio. It's not about what you care about. Facts are what they are, regardless of how you feel about them.
Great shout. Was thinking of the analogue and it wasn’t coming to me. But that’s it. The physicality and tenacity, coupled with the skill. Doesn’t seem like a player that was knocked off the ball very often (like Gazza).
1990-1994 (eapecially 1994) Brolin was world class, and we had som other good players. But after Brolins injury autumn 1994 it was all over. But as a swede, I will never forget the 1994 WC.
Watching this WC when I was 9. Unbelievable tournament! Sweden and Romania were playing great football. Everyone today will recall Bulgaria but those two teams were something special. Anyway best Saudis ever, strong Switzerland, USA which did a great job to make the "soccer" known in this country, still giants from Holland and Germany, very good Spain, biggest disappointment Columbia with Valderrama... Really special tournament... And, what hard to believe today without: France, England, Portugal, Uruguay, Japan...
I love Brolin, one of my favourite players of that time but I can't say he was the best player at that WC. Romario & Roberto Baggio were probably the best at that WC but Brolin wasn't far behind. Honourable mention to Leonardo of Brazil who was fantastic in that WC until he elbowed Ramos in the head!
@@thedoc225ify Much better teamplayer. You can just look at statistics saying Sweden won more playing without Zlatan during his era then with him on the field. But for club teams then Zlatan was better but for Sweden it's Brolin and it's not even close. Some forget how good Brolin was in the Euros and all World Cup and Euro qualification. The guy had a huge impact on the whole team.
Took Sweden to third place. Included in the team of the tournament. And outshined Stoichkov, Hagi and Romario when they played each other. Sweden played vs Brazil 2 times in that tournament and was imo slightly better. 1 first game Sweden dominated. In the second game, Stefan Schwarz was suspended and Jonas Thern was sent off after 60 minutes
I forget about Hagi ech . Another crack in 94 . And also young Larsson was rapid 😉 Great tournament ( in Europe games was like 3 in the morning on tv ) great memories .
Well, Brolin was actually the best of the ‘94 World Cup. Roberto Baggio and Romário were great (and scored more goals), but Brolin was the best player. Sometimes it’s not the most well known players from the most well known nations that are the best. And during USA ‘94, Brolin (from Sweden) was the best player. His playmaking skills, work rate, leadership, eye for goal, adaptability and ability to perform at his best when the whole nation was counting on him, all those things made him the standout footballer in 1994.
@@SpeccyHorace With the ball Romario was better than any player but without it he just walked around never took defensive runs. And Brolin there you have the ultimate teamplayer lifting his team, little Sweden to third place that is huge. But I also have Romario as the best player this WC but Brolin was very close. Much closer than given credit for.
As a swede I also had Romário as Nr 1 this world cup and best player in the world at that time. Baggio second and Brolin third. What Brolin did for Sweden not only here but all games he played for Sweden the guy lifted the whole team in a way Zlatan could never do.
Compared to the competition, Brolin is the most dominant player Sweden ever produced during the WC94 and also in Parma around that time. Ibra wasofc an objectively better player but at that time, Brolin was in the same level as Pele/Maradona, i.e a player who seemed to be able to do whatever he wanted to on the pitch.

I always knew Brolin was brilliant but I had forgotten how much so. He pretty much had eveything in his locker. Unreal
he was not brilliant at all, he was overrated, a mediocre player and a horrible human being!
I've seen recaps before, with the nice goals and all, but I had forgotten how hard he worked! What an absolute animal.
He rightfully made the all-star team
1:37 it's like the ball is glued to him
Sorry, Hristo and Romario. This was Brolins' WC, The defence he provided along with his other skills...Amazing. Great clip, thanks!
