Your half red, half white, canada-switzerland half and half scarf?

Nope - my Canadian rugby scarf from the 2015 Rugby World Cup - I went to the Canada (supporting) vs Romania match at the KP.  (Canada lost, so...)

[Jattdogg]

Swiss manager looks like a serial killer.

Canada shirt, Canada shirt, Canada shirt, Phantom of The Opera shirt, Canada shirt…

Think we deserved a draw. Unlucky today.

[spacemunky]

Proud that we kept at it.

 

First time we've got out of the group, but it'll be a road game.

 

Really hope we can get Phonz in for it 

[OntarioFox]

Lame.

 

At least they still qualify, the Vancouver plan is in the shitter though.

Amazing for us to get to 2nd round. This is massive for Canada regardless.

[RoboFox]

Well done Mads Mikkelsen and his Swiss team. Talented bloke.

Was an entertaining second half .

 

Early goal helped.

[brookfox]

Think it’s the first time I’ve heard Big Dunc talk. Fair to say he sounds as you’d expect!

[MC Prussian]

Great game, that.

Good atmosphere inside the stadium, too. Canada fans made a lot of noise.

 

Switzerland edging it, just. Fairplay to Canada for stepping up after that hydration break, added a bit more suspense to the final few minutes.

 

Pretty decent organisation on location. Everybody having to walk around the stadium for the one and only entry point, then you're distributed along your corresponding section.

Ticket and personal controls through the gates went smoothly, too. Helps not having a bag with you.

 

Pricing inside is reasonable, managed to pull through on a diet coke, a large beer and some crisps.

Probably as expensive as food and beverages at Stanley Cup matches.

It was an embarrassing call from the ref... 

Probably as embarrassing as Xhaka's antics.

 

Guy's a twat as always and should know better, but he likes to put himself in unnecessary risk. Not as effective later on, with that yellow hanging over his head.

I saw him swinging at the ball, with the Canada player approaching.

Yes. Xhaka is about to take a free kick and Larin kicks the ball away as Xhaka swings to take it. 

 

It's never a booking for Xhaka in a million years.

I can hear clattering here (not sure if it shows in the UK), and in the replay you can see he hit Larin:

Minute 4:05.

 

Larin not much more smart, either. A yellow for both is/was the right call.
