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

[shen]

The state of the finishing/decision-making by the Swiss in the final third... So many teams are struggling in attack. No idea how Seferovic is still the starting striker for them. Don't the Swiss have anyone better @MC Prussian?

Serbia are tough but all hope is not lost. One goal and you look favourites to qualify I reckon. Serbs are good though. Good luck for the 2nd half. Don't know any Serbians or Swiss so you are my only connection to this match.

Well, even if we should draw today (which looks unlikely at the moment), we'd still have to beat Costa Rica.

And look how tough it was for the Serbs and Brazilians to grind out a result there...

 

We beat Panama 6-0 in a friendly, though. Similar style of play, just an opposition of lesser quality.

 

In any case, it's going to be a tough ask for the remaining 135 minutes in this group.

Didn't Ivanovic bow out at last minute? No way the goalkeeper could've seen that.

Shaqiri with his first real shot on goal - just struck it a bit by chance, but what a trajectory, what a bend!

That’s just awful officiating.

 

They’ve got replays FGS.

Loving this match, proper end to end.

amazed that's not been reviewed as a potential penalty. can't see what Mitrovic has done wrong there.

VAR cannot comprehend the beauty that is Swiss Wrestling.

Serbia have upped the pace since the equaliser. They won't be easy for anyone to play over 90 if they make the next round.
