Sweden went to the finals in 1958 where they lost to Brazil they were the hosts that year.

Yeah, but they also finished 3rd in 94, so this should be their third quarter final, rather than second.
And the comment that followed about not winning in the knockout stages since 38 seems to contradict the first comment, since it seems to ignore both 1958 and 1994.
Unless there were no knockout stages in 58 or 94. But I don't see how that would be the case in 58, and I know they had knockout stage matches in 94.

Sweden finished in the top 8 at the World Cup quite often: 1934, 1938, 1950, 1958, 1974, 1994, 2018
