I meant to add in my original post, that would have been a game Seba would have thrived in. Sticking Pelle up top is what Sweden and Ireland would prefer, a big target they can engage physically with. The small more nimble forwards cause these defenders all kinds of trouble.
Possession was pretty much 50-50 in general over the 90, but Italy only allowed them possession typically where they wanted them to have it ie areas that couldn't hurt them. So that's what I meant by dominating it, and it will be similiar scenario against the Irish also, sorry should have been clear in that regard.
Sweden team only touched the ball 5 times in Italy box over 90 mins.
