Not sure that is enough. Its hard to look back, because when something has happened its suddenly "possible" and almost "logical", human brain in its full glory. However, lets try to look back anyway:the fair odds for the draw should have been somewhere in the ball park of 5.000 - 10.000 shortly after the 4:0
What I do remember is that it was a competition game facing Germany away: this game actually was almost over at 1-0 after 10 minutes. Sure, you could think of a couple of lucky scenarios where sweden would shut them down and get a counter for 1-1. That could happen, but would have been a huge success.
Now, at 2-0 after 15 minutes, all you hope for is a swedish goal so you atleast get som contact and excitement watching the rest of the game.
At 3-0 half time, it was over. A lot of people stopped watching, even went home from the stadium. Now suddenly the "great" scenarios involved Germany slowing down, and Sweden getting a goal. 3-1 woudnt be embarrassing and atleast you could applaud a second half win, a goal scored in Berlin, etc.. The swedish fans would be pretty happy.
So before the second half, you hope this wont be too embarrassing. You dont want to go down 6 like Ireland.
At 4-0 then, you are in pain, because it points towards just that. "Just stop this flood!", thats your only thoughts if you are still watching. But even that looks impossible.
From there: a normal game, no scandals or weird things happening.
No, again, I believe this might be the strangest outcome in the last 100 years of fotball. Its not that it doesnt "make sense": its impossible. Yet it happened, so while its not fun for Germany, this is great for fotball. Now there is no scenario where you cant think "but what if..?".

rayo made it 3-4 against atletico after being down 4-0 at 75 minute at calderon as well.
What makes it unique is the fact that Germany are superior. Not only that: Sweden have had especially hard to deal with Germany, often giving other top teams a good fight but getting humiliated as soon as we play Germany.
Hadnt scored for (atleast) the last three games. In -06 we coudnt even score on PK (one of the two chanses we created all game).

The Romanian press is outraged this morning by the fact the Romanian national team partied with their Dutch counterparts just hours after losing 4-1 in their World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night.
Romanian players Ciprian Marica and Adrian Mutu are alleged to have organised the party at Club Bucharest, attended by Robin van Persie, Ibrahim Afellay, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Nigel De Jong.
Having only played 18 minutes and with his past history of partying, it will come as no surprise that Adrian Mutu was first on the scene.
Presumably Huntelaar organised the post-match party with his Schalke team mate Marica with the Dutch players attending from 1.00am until 4.00am Wednesday morning.
The prostitutes arrived at 1.30am, telling the Romanian press that they were paid 150 euros to attend. Said hooker was involved in some heavy kissing with Mutu was but was disappointed to have missed out on going home with the former Chelsea and Fiorentina striker.
Thanks to @Emishor for the info.

A lot of games next week, with France - Spain on March 26th.
Tie of the weekend is Croatia - Serbia. Croatia look stronger but there's a lot of history between these two and it's likely to be a factor.
Mihajlovic is doing the right thing for Serbia. Labeling Croatia as favorites, playing down the importance of the match and saying how his players are coming on vacation. On the other hand, here in Croatia, I keep getting this overconfident vibe from the coach, players and the press.
I see a nervous match and a draw as the most probable outcome here.
