Södermalm down under

During the International Cup this year it was fun to see all the support the Swedish national team received in Australia. Even more amazing was it to see how the Södermalm spirit is spreading outside Sweden. Seemed like everywhere we went you could see people walking around in Söder jumpers. They all want to get on the Södermalm train, and who can blame them. Our biggest fan outside Sweden, Lyle, rocked up to see the Elks play Ireland in Sydney; “I was on my way from Brisbane to Perth and decided to stop over to watch the game” What dedication!

Natis

In this years Euro Cup, newcomer Natis Johansson will take a place on the team after only a few games might come as a surprise for those who have missed out on watching SAFF’s most talanted young player since Rookie of the year awards of 2008. Elks captain Lars “leathal” Hagberg on the squad announcement – “Just as in Södermalm, I wouldn’t trust to leave the role as captain to anyone but to Max. And this guy Natis? I haven’t seen him play, but he’s a Söder boy, means he must be good!” The team is coached by always competent Adrian Knee, Solna. GOOD LUCK!

The win over Solna in first round showed out to be a bitter sweet one, as Sean, aka Kungen was carried off with an injured knee that will keep him away for the rest of the season. Togehter with Timbi leaving for Oz and Seabass shwing up even before the first game with his hand in a casket, this naturally cause some concern in the Söder camp.

In a comment to sodermalmafc.se, Söder President Ivan stated that “We are currently looking into recruiting replacements for all three. What we need is someone hard as steel, someone fast as the wind, and someone jolly as a green giant, but I am confident that the Söder will work together as a team to cover for these losses until we do!”
