I think fans in general underestimate how difficult a linesman decision is. We see it with benefit of replays and stills. In real time that's actually close? 

I agree that some of them are difficult to call but not on that occasion surely?

It’s really tough at this level 

on a Sunday morning you can hear the ball struck so you can pretty much always be looking along the line - with a crowd you’ve got to look in two directions at once - top class linos are amazing

Kerkez sloppy. Swiss should be 2 up.

Speed of the game at this level is insanely quick though. Hard to say at the comfort of our sofas.

You're probably right though. Easier said than done I guess

Hungary being starved of possession so far

And their defence has holes in it like Swiss cheese.

Disappointed in them so far. Fancied them to get out of this group 

[RowlattsFox]

Refs got a proper attitude when he talks to players.

 

Having not scored he probably wish he went down, would've been red.

As the person said at the start, Fondue is better than Goulash 

[BillyFOX12]

Yann Sommer is a quality goalkeeper, very reminiscent of Kasper Schmeichel in size and skill.

[foxfanazer]

Overplaying it a little now Switzerland. Totally dominant though

[StanSP]

This seems exactly the kind of game where the team in the lead doesn't do enough against the weaker opposition (on the day). They don't do enough to kill the game off. The weaker opposition then score late on and nab a draw.

Yeh he's a good keeper. Getting on a bit now though at 35, but still good. 

[StanSP]

Orban has to score there. 

 

Headed it like he was scared of the ball.

He's the sort of keeper who looks class most of the time but capable of a shocker.

[StanSP]

Great goal. 

[foxfanazer]

Ooooft

[Super_horns]

Nice hit .

 

Well deserved .

[StanSP]

Hungary looked knackered by the end of that half. They weren't even pressuring for the 2nd goal. 

[purpleronnie]

Hungary look awful, scotland will fancy their chances.

[kingfox]

Loved everything about that first half performance from the Swiss. 
 

Controlled possession, excellent in the press and well organised defensively. 
 

Xhaka is having a field day so far. 

[StanSP]

Scotland will struggle against this Swiss side I think. 

[StanSP]

Hungary breathe life back into the game

[spacemunky]

Great ball from Szobozozlzizia.
