Adam is an awesome player and person. It’s true that he’s never been the same since his injury, but take it from a Swede, that dude has something big coming. He’s on his way back and i’m sad as hell that he’s gone. But I wish him, and you guys, the best of luck!
best regards

IKEA has great swedish meatballs though they are on the small side.
Hence the word “like”, Tommy.
Umm technically its 2 😉
You know, I think your right! *giggles* 😀
Who cares whether it’s true or not? It’s nice to see that reputation spreading in Europe.
Sounders Swedes are like the Sith. There must be one, but only one.
yeah but its from IKEA
As someone wrote he was really good around 2008-2009 but then suffered a bad injury. Fans shouldn’t expect him to be of national team quality, those days has long since passed. His last two seasons in the swedish league can be described as solid but unspectacular and he will probably perform similarly in MLS.
The article said MLS compares with the league in Netherlands in quality?
(Who is the first to say: what division?)
“I’ve talked to both Hasse Backe (trainer in New York Redbull) and former Hacken player Erik Friberg (formerly of Seattle, now in Malmo FF), comparing league with the Dutch in quality.”
Is that game in 2009 when the Swedish B team got rocked by Sascha’s hat-trick?
Offensive, a lot of overlapping runs, nice touch and pace with the ball. Was close to earn a starting role on the national team when to blew his knee out two years ago and never looked the same.
One more Swede and we get a free Swedish meatball sub!
