Ice-hockey makes for very good entertainment on TV as well, while I tend to think that football on TV is not even half the fun. I don't think that ice-hockey is going down in Sweden, we recently won the world cup and the olympics the same year. But there are some things going on in football in Sweden. They are making the national league bigger in terms of more teams and so on. How the popular standing is on football in general in Sweden is hard for me to tell, because when Elfsborg won the league last year it was many many years ago last, so around here football definitely is more popular. That actually started earlier than that too, since Borås built a new arena, classic football style where you stand (or sit) very close to the field.
