MC Prussian Posted 23 June 2006 Posted 23 June 2006 Blimey, am I nervous... HOPP SCHWIIZ!!! Keep a clean sheet and we'll play the Ukraine! *Fingers crossed*
MC Prussian Posted 23 June 2006 Author Posted 23 June 2006 What happened to his face? Little tête-à-tête with the Korean defender Jin Cheul, who also got a little souvenir from that clash... A little white hair net.
nhfox Posted 23 June 2006 Posted 23 June 2006 Doesn't look good for Korea with France leading 2-0. They better score some goals fast.
Head Honcho Posted 23 June 2006 Posted 23 June 2006 Doesn't look good for Korea with France leading 2-0. They better score some goals fast. Just 1 would do me!
MC Prussian Posted 23 June 2006 Author Posted 23 June 2006 Just one for Switzerland would do me, actually!
Head Honcho Posted 23 June 2006 Posted 23 June 2006 Just one for Switzerland would do me, actually! Yeh but you will still go through if it's 1-1 if the swiss win I lose £700
MC Prussian Posted 23 June 2006 Author Posted 23 June 2006 YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2-0!!!!!!!!! Freieieieieieieiei!!!! Sorry, Allen. And sorry for the 700 quids you just lost.
MC Prussian Posted 23 June 2006 Author Posted 23 June 2006 More dodgy officiating The last pass came from a Korean defender. Goal call by the ref is correct.
nhfox Posted 23 June 2006 Posted 23 June 2006 The last pass came from a Korean defender. Goal call by the ref is correct. No, it was incorrect because the deflection off the Korean defender came *after* the Swiss player made the pass with Frei in the offside position.
MC Prussian Posted 23 June 2006 Author Posted 23 June 2006 No, it was incorrect because the deflection off the Korean defender came *after* the Swiss player made the pass with Frei in the offside position. That, my friend, is no more offside, because the last player to touch the ball after the pass was a... Korean. Frei made his move towards the goal when his Swiss teammate played the ball. No offside there.
nhfox Posted 23 June 2006 Posted 23 June 2006 That, my friend, is no more offside, because the last player to touch the ball after the pass was a... Korean. Perhaps you're right. I feel bad for the Koreans because the linesman clearly raised his flag and they stopped playing.
MC Prussian Posted 23 June 2006 Author Posted 23 June 2006 YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here we come, Ukraine!!!
Head Honcho Posted 23 June 2006 Posted 23 June 2006 YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2-0!!!!!!!!! Freieieieieieieiei!!!! Sorry, Allen. And sorry for the 700 quids you just lost. Yeh congratulations mate The best team finished top I'd be pissed off now if the French went on to win the tournament
MC Prussian Posted 23 June 2006 Author Posted 23 June 2006 Yeh congratulations mate The best team finished top I'd be pissed off now if the French went on to win the tournament Yup, let's hope they give them Spaniards a hard time, but won't advance past the quarters.
Daggers Posted 23 June 2006 Posted 23 June 2006 Yup, let's hope they give them Spaniards a hard time, but won't advance past the quarters. Delighted for you Swiss ... but slightly confused as to how you had the time to type during the game?
shen Posted 23 June 2006 Posted 23 June 2006 The only remaining team not to let in a goal... who'd have thought that?! Well done to the Swiss, who I feel will exceed many expectations in two years time. Should be a very tight affair between them and the Ukraine in the next round, not to mention a potentially mouthwatering tie between France and Spain!
MC Prussian Posted 23 June 2006 Author Posted 23 June 2006 Delighted for you Swiss ... but slightly confused as to how you had the time to type during the game? Four Arms. :laugh: I can't even describe the way I feel right now... Lots of weight off my shoulders... Simply incredible!
dandannieldanok Posted 23 June 2006 Posted 23 June 2006 I think the Swiss have a great chance of getting far in this world cup. Ukraine are pretty average and despite beating Tunisia, never looked like a real force. Plus the second goal was a great overrule from the ref!
Deathside Posted 23 June 2006 Posted 23 June 2006 Sorry Alex - but I have to say I'm disappointed - I grew to like Korea - And a lot of that is down to their fans - I can't get their song out of my head Does Fifa do some sort of Fair Play award for the best fans? - If so it has GOT TO go to S Korea
Nationwider Posted 23 June 2006 Posted 23 June 2006 Forgive my ignorance, but is this the furthest the Swiss have got in a World Cup?
Daggers Posted 23 June 2006 Posted 23 June 2006 Four Arms. :laugh: I can't even describe the way I feel right now... Lots of weight off my shoulders... Simply incredible! We were mates with the Venezuelan Consulate and his family when we lived there and I am delighted for them, and you all. A great result ~ with the promise of further progression on the base of that performance.
MC Prussian Posted 23 June 2006 Author Posted 23 June 2006 Forgive my ignorance, but is this the furthest the Swiss have got in a World Cup? Not quite. This is the eight time we're at a WC and not the first time we've advanced past the group stage. 1938: Out against Hungary after the third game (0-2 final score) 1954: Out against Austria after surviving the group stage (5-7 final score; the highest-scoring game at a WC up to this date!!!) 1994: Out against Spain after surviving the group stage (0-3 final score)
