The Boys in Green Under-21 boss is wary of Erik Hamren's side but believes that a victory against them would seal a place in the knock-out stage
A win over Sweden would be "gold dust" for the Republic of Ireland at Euro 2016, according to Noel King, but the Boys in Green Under-21 boss warned that the Scandinavian team are "no mugs".
Martin O'Neill's men open their European Championship journey against Zlatan Ibrahimovic and company in Paris on June 13 and King believes that three points could be enough to send Ireland through to the knock-out stage, with games against Belgium and Italy to follow.
