The other, much fitter, Ericsson

Swedish scorchers

They may be our nemesis on the football pitch, but the Swedes haven't half produced some world class beauties. If you can't forgive them for daring to challenge our proud lions in Germany, then maybe these saucy Scandinavians can persuade you:

Ulrika Ericsson: Playboy favourite Ulrika, pictured here, certainly isn't shy about showing us her pie. The cheeky Swedish miss has flaunted her naked self in dozens of magazines and generally done her bit for EU relations over the years. We're all for the European Union if it looks like this.

Magdalena Graaf: Swedish identi-blonde Magdalena is a household name as a moggle-turned-singer in her native Sweden. And we're talking Victoria Silvstedt levels of recognition here, thanks to mercifully marvellous stints of skin-showing. Magdalena's splendid pre-pop career as a nude model, along with her equally-hot sister Hannah, didn't exactly dent sales for the singing Graaf Sisters, either.

Elin Nordegren: It's no wonder this blonde babe caught the attention of the world's most loaded golfer, Tiger Woods. We've had our eagle eye on her since copping a load of her in a bikini, too. She'd cheer anyone up if they were feeling a bit below par. Fore!

Mini Anden: The not-so-mini 5ft 9in model bucks the trend of the blonde Swedish honey, and proudly sports a brunette barnet. With legs that go, quite literally, all the way up to her armpits, she apparently got the nickname Mini when she was a baby. She's all grown up now!

Emma Sjöberg: This leggy beauty has been strutting the catwalk since she was knee-high to, well...some other really tall supermodels. She found fame in George Michael's Too Funky video and now she’s married with two kids. We still think she’s the yummiest mummy around.
