All national teams participating in the FIFA World Cup to be held in June-July have been decided. Bosnia and Herzegovina, DR Congo, Iran, Turkey, Czech Republic and Sweden earned the last six tickets. Italy was once again left out of the qualifiers. The failure of Squadra Azzurra is even more crushing because they failed to qualify for the Mundial with more quotas – 48 national teams will play in the USA, Mexico and Canada instead of 32 as before.
The Central Bank of Sweden has issued recommendations for citizens in case of war and other crises. In particular, it recommended keeping at home 1 thousand Swedish kronor (about $110) for each adult.
Sweden is considering abandoning its national currency (krona) in favor of the euro, due to geopolitical changes, NATO membership and the krona’s vulnerability, according to Logos Press.
