Liverpool forward, Alexander Isak claims that Sweden are in a “crisis situation” after their “embarrassing” loss to Kosovo cast doubt on their chances of qualifying for the World Cup.
Sweden dropped to the bottom of Group B with just one point from four games after losing 1-0 to Kosovo at home on Monday night.
Jon Dahl Tomasson is currently under pressure to quit as Sweden’s head coach as they now require Kosovo to lose both of their final two games to have any hope of earning a place in the World Cup qualifying play-offs.

“It’s too damn bad. Embarrassing. Disappointed once again,” Isak said after Sweden’s latest defeat as quoted by The Metro.
“We’re playing too badly. The way we’re playing doesn’t work. We’re doing it too badly individually too. So it’s a combination of everything really.
“We are so damn dissatisfied as players. And as I’ve said before, we take a lot of responsibility ourselves. We look at ourselves in the mirror. And no one is approved.
“Not us players, not us as a team. And that of course includes the coach and everything around.
“It’s a bit of a crisis situation and that’s clear. I don’t know what we’re going to do. But it’s all too bad.”
Asked to elaborate on describing Sweden’s situation as ’embarrassing’, Isak replied: “No, but just in general. The position we are in with one point.
“I think, with all due respect to Kosovo, that they are playing very well. Partly because we are doing them well. They are perhaps better than you think, but I still think that we should be able to do better with the players we have.”
