Sweden players were told to “show their genitalia” to team medical staff to prove that they were female during the 2011 Women’s World Cup, t

Interesting.

And even though it's not funny at all I had to laugh about the Google translation of (Caroline) Seger, translating "Seger" literally into "victory". 😅

At first I thought it was about Victoria Svensson, but that was earlier. 🤭

Fotboll: Nilla Fischers kritik mot Pia Sundhages ledarstil

Expressen interviewed Nilla about her lil' future dancing adventure

Nilla Fischer klar för ”Let's dance” i TV4

Hon medger att hon har stått för en del dans i omklädningsrummet. Men nu kommer Nilla Fischer, 38, ställas på större prov. Den före detta la

Nilla Fischer ready for "Let's dance"

She admits that she has been responsible for some dancing in the dressing room. 

But now Nilla Fischer, 38, will be put to greater tests. 

The former national soccer star is ready for "Let's dance" on TV4. 

- I love to dance and have always thought that I would like to learn to dance for real, says Fischer. 

In September last year, Nilla Fischer announced that her national team career was over. After 189 international matches, she said goodbye to Blågult. 

Later in the autumn, it was also announced that the season in Linköpings FC was the last and that the football boots were being put on the shelf for good. 

But now Expressen can tell you that Nilla Fischer is ready for a new assignment. The 38-year-old is one of the participants in this year's season of "Let's dance" on TV4. 

- I love to dance and have always thought that I would like to learn to dance for real. I don't dance particularly well, but when the request came to be in "Let's dance" I couldn't say no, and I've always liked watching the program, says Nilla Fischer. 

"Dancing on TV becomes something else"

However, the former soccer star admits there is some nervousness about dancing in front of a television audience.  

- That particular part I hope I can screen off. In football, it has not mattered if there are 80,000 in the stands and hundreds of thousands of TV viewers, it has only spurred me on. Dancing in front of an audience becomes something else. But I like challenges and working out so I hope I can handle it okay. 

Rumor has it that you've done some dressing room dancing over the years, is that true?

- Haha yeah. But it's not really the kind of individual dance that I'm going to perform now, I guess. We'll see if I can develop it. 

During her soccer career, Nilla Fischer won an Olympic silver and two World Cup bronzes. With club team Wolfsburg, she won the German league four times and the Champions League once.

We can play an easy round of spot Magda and P in the video. Thanks to the gala pics we know where they were seated. They arrived a bit late to their role model's Diamantbollen party tho. This pic series 😅 1 2 3 4

Sportbladet did their own Nilla retirement interview day after the announcement

Nilla Fischer on the new challenge: "Perhaps I am the next Leif GW Persson"

Nilla Fischer, 38, is no longer a professional soccer player. In the end, the body said no.

For Sportbladet, the veteran talks about the decision, the pain that has been and the new challenges that await.

- It feels exciting but also very scary.

She has won SM gold, Champions League, German league titles, championship medals with Sweden and double diamond balls but now her career is over.

Nilla Fischer is no longer a professional soccer player.

What made you decide in the end?

- I knew already in the last training when Andrée drew up the pre-season schedule that no, how is this going to go again. 

- I've had pain in my body more and more every year and I love playing football but in the end it becomes too hard mentally not to be able to go on but to be careful in training and to be smart and so on. It might be smart to have some body left when I quit, so that's where I finally felt that I have to listen to my body now and actually just make the decision. 

- It does not come as a revelation. It won't but it was just a matter of making a decision so I did it. 

Pulled with injury problems

How much has the body hurt? How much has it hurt during the season? 

- There have been problems. I've been playing, it sounds so stupid to say painkillers because it's two alvedon and one Ipren, but it's still like that if I have to take it 90 percent of the games then maybe it's a sign that it's not so healthy longer. Or elite sport isn't healthy overall but...

- I've been lucky this year that I haven't had any major injuries, but it's a sign that the body isn't enjoying itself anymore. I must still have a little smartness.

Do you feel the pain in everyday life too? 

- Constant pain sounds so exaggerated, but I have pain all the time or problems all the time. Then there are different degrees of it, but that's just the way it is. I have osteoarthritis in my toes and have had various inflammations in my feet. 

 I also live a life where I cannot lie on the couch and wait for the next match. I have an active lifestyle because of the kids and that's just the way it is. It might have been the same issue if I hadn't had children, but I can't choose that now I have to go to bed two hours before the match. 

What is it like not being the soccer player Nilla Fischer anymore? 

- Right now it's quite pleasant when the others have a running program to follow and I can choose that today I want to go out and run, then I do it, then I choose the pace and so on. 

- I sit and work with my company and do it right now without feeling the stress and pressure that there is something else that needs to be done. 

What kind of company do you have? 

- It's called something as ingenious as Nilla Fischer AB. Now I'm preparing a lecture, so that's probably what it will be about. 

- I haven't really decided what direction it will be, but the plan is to give some lectures or be able to take on other assignments. At some point in the future, I might also want to deal with pocket and boys' football. Maybe come as a guest coach or so we'll see.

Don't want to let go of football

That's not the last we've heard from Nilla Fischer in football anyway, is this? 

- No, it's not. I still feel that elite-wise I probably have to distance myself because I think it will be too hard otherwise, but to work with boys' and girls' soccer in some way, I would think it would be fun. 

- Now all I can think about is what should I do. I start my education in January and the question is whether there is time for anything other than just the education in those years. We shall see.

But what about the dog boarding house then?

- It's a bit on hold, we've got horses so the schedule is packed and I don't think I'll have time for even more when I have to study.

So what will it be like to sit down at school and train to be a police officer? 

- Right now it feels extremely scary. Now I have lived this life for so many years and this lifestyle. I haven't studied since high school so it feels exciting but also very scary. 

What's the scariest thing about it? 

- It is something completely new. Just learning new systems and study techniques. Sit. Sit down and work and study. It's not something I'm used to.

- Then it's like always, or at least that's how I feel, when you try something new, it's uncomfortable not knowing if I'm good or not? How hard will it be? And so on. We'll see how it goes.

What is the attraction of becoming a police officer? 

- The whole thing of working in a team that way. Or yes, I don't know this, but that's my idea of ​​the police profession. That it is teamwork. You work quite closely in different groups with different goals and then be out in society and probably help people in vulnerable situations. 

- Then we'll see if that's what it means, but an active job where I think that many working days look different.

"Could be the next GW"

You envision yourself being out in the field and not sitting inside solving crimes?

- Yes, but at first I must be outside. Then maybe it's me who sits as the next Leif GW Persson. We shall see. 

- Then there are lots of different orientations within police training, which is also part of the attraction. It's not just that now you're a finished police officer and now you're going to do this for 20 years. You can work in the field and then you can further your education in other specializations. We'll see. It could be completely different from what I have imagined.

It seems popular to become a police officer after the career. Lisa Dahlkvist follows the same path. Which of you do you think is best suited as a police officer?

- Haha I do not know. It feels a bit pretentious to say yourself, so I have to say Lisa.

- I know she is also studying so it will be fun. Now we won't be working on the same set, but it will be fun. I get to contact her when it gets too difficult and she gets to help me what to do.

Seger about Fischer 😭 🥹 Nice clip too

omg so sweet

Fotboll: Caroline Seger om Nilla Fischer: ”Krattat vägen för nästa generation”

Caroline Seger och Nilla Fischer har gjort rejäla avtryck på och utanför fotbollsplanen. Nu har Fischer tackat för sig. – Hon har krattat vä

Caroline Seger on Nilla Fischer: "Cleared the way for the next generation"

Caroline Seger and Nilla Fischer have made a real impression on and off the football field.

Now Fischer has given thanks.

- She has paved the way for the next generation and she should be very proud of that, says Caroline Seger.

Caroline Seger, 37, thinks for a while before answering.

- As big as she is physically, she has an equally big heart.

Seger has just been asked how she would use one sentence to describe her one year older friend and former teammate, Nilla Fischer.

- Nilla has always been very well known for being a strong and stately footballer. Then she has an equally big heart and cares about her fellow humans and everyone around her, she puts others before herself and is close to laughter and offers herself. He is a great person and footballer, says Seger.

"Huge contributing factor"

Someone about Seger should know. She and Fischer have competed together in the national team for many years and have become two of the faces of their generation of footballers. On the field, they have broken ground and they have gone wild outside it.

- We have experienced how women's football has really exploded and we have become role models and idols - and been able to push important issues forward and actually gained weight in it. Nilla has been a huge contributing factor there, says Seger.

She continues:

- To dare to stand up for the things she believes in, to not back down and not budge an inch from the hate and everything she may have had to receive along the way because she has dared to stand up for the things that have been important to her. She has paved the way for the next generation and she should be very proud of that.
