The Legacy
Georg Ericson took Sweden to the 1978 World Cup in Argentina. Drawn into a difficult group with Brazil, Austria, and Spain, the side struggled to replicate their success from the 1974 tournament. Ronnie Hellström anchored the defense in goal behind veteran captain Björn Nordqvist, while Roy Andersson added experience to the backline. Thomas Sjöberg led the attack, scoring Sweden's only goal of the tournament against Brazil. The team exited after the group stage following a draw against Brazil and losses to Austria and Spain. Adidas supplied the kits for this campaign.
