TOMASSON OVERSEES SWEDEN TEAM IN TRAINING GAME STORY: Sweden have sacked manager Jon Dahl Tomasson, the country's football federation said on Tuesday (October 14), after a dismal start to their World Cup qualifying campaign. Dane Tomasson's final game in charge was a 1-0 home defeat by Kosovo, his side's third successive loss, leaving them on the verge of elimination, bottom of Group B with one point from four games. Sweden's squad contains big money summer transfers Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres up front, but the team has failed to find the net in close to 300 minutes of football. The Scandinavians will face Switzerland, who top their group, and Slovenia in November, and will look to bounce back from losing to a side ranked 91st in the world, 59 places below themselves.
