Sweden has only ever won one major trophy, despite being considered one of the best teams in the world.
The first ever European tournament to get official Uefa status was in 1984 and they won a penalty shoot out against England.
The goalkeeper who made her international debut more than two decades ago is well placed to reflect on Sweden's near misses.
She has participated in 15 major tournaments. She has several silver and bronze medals from the Olympics, but why hasn't Sweden taken that last step?
"Maybe it's the mentality - the Jante mentality, that's what I'm saying," Lindahl says.
The Nordic concept of modesty, equality, and not believing oneself to be better than anyone else is known as Jantelagen.
She doesn't think Jante will stand in the way of Sweden this summer, she thinks the team have found the perfect balance.
Every player on the team feels the same way, that you are safe to have an opinion, even if you've been there a long time.
The chatter of different voices will be heard if you stop an exercise on the field. Since everyone contributes with their viewpoint, we get the best out of everyone since you are safe together.
It's important for me to contribute to an environment where everyone feels secure because I didn't dare to say what I thought in the past.
'Daring' is a word that comes to mind about this team, whether it be speaking out about unfairness in the sport, or telling the world they are here to win.
A number of players have made their voices heard.
She says it would be nice if people could just play football. That isn't the case.
If I want it to be better for the next generation or myself, then I need to say something.
She has seen how attitudes towards women's football in Sweden have changed since she hosted the tournament.
When Sweden lost to Germany in the World Cup final in 2003 there was an incredible celebration. You didn't see any bigger effect after that. Things didn't happen until 2013).
It was almost as if there was a change. It was as if you had to be ashamed of being a women's football fan in Sweden before the advent of the internet. It was like cows running on a field, and people thought it was a joke. There would be uproar if anyone made that joke.
Being a fan of women's football became more accepted.
Sweden, who reached the Olympic final last summer, have become a team full of individual brilliance.
They show the same attitude off the pitch as they do on it. They launched a campaign called "How to Stop Sweden" in April of this year.
"We represent a country known for its high level of transparency, so we want to up the stakes this summer and keep things ultra transparent by telling our competitors exactly how we play, how we win, and how to maybe stand a chance," the analyst said.
In a comprehensive guide printed on the shirt and available online, Eriksson broke down all of the statistics, tactics and individual data along with giving insights on how to play against Sweden, saying "we are so good, that we can tell you how to beat us, and still you won'
Lindahl says that the campaign is a bold one. It goes in line with how we need to think in order to be winners.
There aren't a lot of national teams that could use this type of campaign, but we can take this position because of our women's team.
He says the team used to have its own #HelaVagen, meaning "all the way", in order to see themselves as one of the favorites.
"We talked with the team manager, head coach Peter and the team, and asked them if this feels good, can we talk like this?"
Sweden has finally found the right group to lift a trophy.
We are in a good place. Lindahl says that they want to win and feel like they can.
