Serbia vs Switzerland - Match Thread (22nd June, 7pm)

[StanSP]

Reckon Serbia will be too strong for the Swiss.

Not expecting too many goals though.

[Nalis]

Buzzing for this one

Sorry @MC Prussian and other Swiss fans but come on Serbia 

[Guest seanfox778]

Could be a battle of the free kick specialists. Kolarov v Shaqiri

A brazilian born Serb with a St Etienne obsession? And a soft spot for Leicester?

[MC Prussian]

We need a win to set the course towards the knockout stages (still would need a win against Costa Rica, mind), whereas Serbia would be in the next round already with a win.

 

Expecting a tough, but entertaining match. Hopp Switzerland!

[Jaspa]

Serbia beat Costa Rica in their first match and The Swiss did well to get something from Brazil, should be a proper battle for the last qualifying spot in their group.

 

I'd fancy Switzerland

The Kosovan and Albanian contingent in the Swiss team could make it feisty. 

[Footballwipe]

I'd get watching this everyone, doesn't look like any journalists will be covering it. Seems like they're too busy ganging up to defend the team leak backlash by quoting Orwell and generally acting like they've broken the Watergate scandal.

Don't forget the Bosnian fraction.

 

It's pretty much all former Yugoslav countries vs. Serbia today.

[MC Prussian]

That was way too easy for Serbia!

[StanSP]

far too easy for Mitrovic and Serbia!

2 chances for Mitrovic and one of them pays off.

 

Good cross as well by Tadic.

[MC Prussian]

Serbia have a proper striker up front, I'd swap him for Seferovic in a heartbeat.

 

GAME ON!

Now our lot need to wake up and do something constructive.

[foxfanazer]

Quality header. He’s a beast on his day but is held back by his psychopathic temper

[Sir Shep]

Great goal, serbia and Croatia would make a fantastic team if they merged!

imagine the side Yugoslavia could have had if they were still about...

Oblak

 

Vrsalkjo - Savic - Nastasic - Kolarov

 

Matic

 

Perisic - Modric - Rakitic

 

Pjanic

 

Dzeko

 

Subs: Ivanovic, Tadic, Mandzukic, Kovacic, Kramaric, Brozovic, Lovren

Serbian defence, Croatian midfield, Bosnia+Herzegovina's attack. Dreamy.

 

Would be a technically brilliant team too.

That is a proper football fans post. Bravo.

[MC Prussian]

Xhaka, Behrami and Dzemaili completely off-pace. Probably shat their pampers prior to the match.

 

No speed, no tackling, no distribution, no movement - bystanders, pure and simple. Eurgh.

[Max Wall]

Serbia v Croatia final anyone?

You would see half a dozen straight reds within the same squad for the only time in footbal history.  It would be 11 v 3 or 4 by the end.

To be honest, they'd have smashed a few teams then imploded. Too many factions.
