Someone wondered how Angeldahl could attend this camp when she'd just become a mom. Sorta implied she'd jetted off to camp leaving her gf at home to take care of the baby herself. This is the answer
Angeldahl's dream for the return: "Hope he will be able to be there"
DUBLIN. Filippa Angeldahl, 26, was one of Sweden's best players against Ireland.
However, the midfielder, who became a mother last week, hesitated whether she would go.
- Of course you think about it, but Meg has been absolutely incredible, says Angeldahl.
When she scored against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Tele2 in February, she celebrated with a planned goal gesture to pay tribute to girlfriend Megan Brakes and the child she was carrying. Now the couple has welcomed their son into the world.
It was last week that Angeldahl and Brakes became parents. The 26-year-old's upload has therefore been a little different.
- Of course it's incredibly tough. There hasn't been much sleep or exercise the week before, but my girl back home has been incredible, she says.
And she had time to enjoy the baby bubble a bit before going to the gathering.
An unusual amount of FaceTime this collection perhaps?
- Yes indeed.
The 26-year-old continues to pay tribute to Brakes and it is thanks to her and the family that the midfielder still chose to go to Ireland.
"Hope he can be there"
Now, however, she is looking forward to going home to Sweden and Stockholm again for the return against Ireland.
- I love playing on Friends and playing in front of the family. Hopefully there will be a lot of spectators as well and I hope for a good match.
Ticket sales have passed 20,000 and Angeldahl hopes that the whole family will be there.
- Yes, we'll see what we can do, but I hope he will be able to be there in the stands and watch the first match live.
Because already yesterday he saw his first match on television. In a clip on social media, Angeldahl's son can be seen sitting in front of the TV wearing a Sweden shirt and cheering on his mother and his "aunts".
Sweden meets Ireland at Friends on Tuesday 4 June and whether there are any more planned goal gestures if there are goals in this match too remains to be seen.
