It was a nightmare day for Sweden on the pitch following a 5-1 hammering at the hands of the Netherlands. Swedish fans had to endure a one-sided showing inside the Houston Stadium on Saturday afternoon as Cody Gakpo, Brian Brobbey, and Crysencio Summerville ran riot. Any fans thinking of making a swift exit before the full-time whistle were also halted to add insult to injury. As the whistle went to signal the end of the match, fans were instructed to stay put as electrical storms arrived near the stadium. A tough one to take for the travelling Blue and Yellow fans.
