great goal, I do like the him cool cucumber

[SheppyFox]

Let’s buy Embolo  

[Vacamion]

 

The Serbs will rightly be showing plenty of slo mos of the tag team wrestling on Mitrovic, but the Swiss pretty much dominated the second half.

 

I think it is deserved.

Shaqiri’s been quality. Good dribbler, creative, scores the odd goal and apparently available for like £12m? Heard he’s been linked with Liverpool but we could do a lot worse in terms of a Riyad replacement

Brazil will have a game on there hands now

I get that but be slightly positive at least. You're out of jail there.

[MC Prussian]

Massive relief.

 

MASSIVE!

[bovril]

Shaqiri did a little Albanian double headed eagle with his hands after the goal? 

[Mrfox452]

Hoping the Serbs knock out Brazil!

 

 

Well played to the Swiss.

Just like Xhaka.

 

Dumbbells the both of them.

Xhaka did earlier too after his goal

Didn't see the Xhaka goal. Wonder if FIFA will come down on them.

Game of 2 havles there.

 

Swiss scored 2 decent goals but Serbia should have had a penalty.

After Germany/Mexico & Portugal/Spain, I think that was one of the best games of the tournament so far.

Down to the largely poor defending from both sides. Says a bit!

No, he's a real highlights player. Sort of player who you might as well be playing with 10 for most of the game, also horrendously 1 footed and plays with head down. Would be gutted if we signed him

Ridiculous imo.

For that money these days you couldn’t lose. I’d love to see him in a City shirt.

Takes up a squad place, horrendously overrated, has a bad attitude and about as far from a team player as you can get. Wouldn't want him here on a free never mind 12m

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

Good effort

I can see why people would be against it and wanting to use the money on different Riyad replacement, but for me the pros would outweigh the cons on this

Think there was a bit of a message at the end there in Shaqiris celebration, gets called fat and lazy all season, takes his shirt off and looks like Ronaldo  

[Kitchandro]

That penalty decision has potentially cost Serbia their place in this tournament.

'Stonewall' doesn't go down well in Russia.
