Sweden vs Switzerland - Round of 16 Match Thread

[Guest MattP]

Thank God that lot are all, most of them should try and play for Kosovo next tournament.

Still no WC goals for Switzerland in the Best of 16 since 1954.

 

What a horrible game of football.

 

Shaqiri

Zuber

Drmic

Xhaka

Behrami

Dzemaili

 

All piss-poor.

 

Good riddance.

Very harsh on Switzerland that. The “push” was outside the area but the Swede retained control of the ball then clearly dived. Another ref would have given it the other way.

no way. He's been pushed, he's bound to lose momentum and fall over.

Too many Switzerland players only upped their game against Brazil and Serbia for obvious reasons.

 

Shambolic.

 

Despite their talent, some players ought to think about their place in and future with this squad.

Utter dross and absolutely underwhelming performances, bordering on the criminal.

Goal kind of summed up the game .

 

Sweden as expected held on well with some strong defending .

 

Maybe something for us to think about if we play them but got more attacking quality than the Swiss.

I thought that when I saw Granit duck out another challenge.

 

More up for a group game with Serbia for political reasons than a place in the QF with best draw ever imaginable - unforgivable.

Xhaka has a habit of that. Seen him do it multiple times for Arsenal. Not sure if it's just immaturity or laziness, or a bit of both.
