Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
Sweden is a bit iffy if you get into technicalities.
They were at war with Britain from 1810 to 1812. But British ships were stationed at Hanö.
This was officially allowed but if British sailors went into town, could that not be considered an invasion in the broadest possible terms? But then again if a British sailor got to town he was likely deserting anyway.
Education: that which reveals to the wise,
and conceals from the stupid,
the vast limits of their knowledge.
Mark Twain
No, they have to cross uninvited in their capacity as a military force.
For example, when our supply trucks took the shortcut through Sweden to get to an excercise in Finnmark, that counted as an invasion. When we were on leave and crossed the border looking for cheap alcohol and cheaper women, it did not count.
But I would hazard a guess that the count in question here only counts instances where the force is also looking to do some killin' and such... Especially when considering how rubbish British military drivers are at navigating and driving in general. I'm quite sure they've got lost and crossed the swedish border several times during excercises in Norway.
