OneZanderDiamond Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Anyone else watching this. Could be the first game where something is actually decided. I fancy a 1 each draw with the young Swiss striker Derdyok scoring first (only teenager in the tournament) Link to comment
sheep_shagger Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Think Switzerland will win a close game by a goal. Hoping its a bit lively!! Link to comment
Guest rocket_scientist Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I have no idea why the Swiss should be favourites for this game. Guess I'll find out soon. Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 1-0 to the Swiss. Yakin will probably never score an easier goal. Rain is a bit crazy though and there is a fair amount of water on the pitch. Link to comment
minijc Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Good goal from them there, the ball slowed down in the water, i think the game might get postponed because of the rain, the pitch looks awful. Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Wow how did Yakin miss that!? Should have been two. Players finding it hard to move the ball on the floor in some parts of the pitch. Link to comment
zander Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The water is getting bad out there they can hardly play a 5 yard pass. Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Might see some McLeish-esque back passes tonight. Link to comment
OneZanderDiamond Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Good header by Semih but the keeper could have done better. Turned into a decent game now the water's drying up. Link to comment
zig-a-zig-ah Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Bit harsh on Switzerland in the end... Good 2nd half. Link to comment
minijc Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Am gutted, 1 minute 30 seconds away from another win today and they go a blow it, i could defend better than those muppets. Felt sorry for their managered though. Link to comment
OneZanderDiamond Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Probably the game I was least looking forward to so far but was really good. Switzerland have been really unlucky - could easy be sitting on 6 points but instead they have none. Certainly haven't disgraced themselves anyway. Link to comment
Guest rocket_scientist Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 But what have the cuckoo clock chocolates EVER done in the history of world football for them to justify everyone, I mean everyone, on here thinking they would win tonight? They are Austria in disguise. Link to comment

They are Austria in disguise. I thought it would be one each. Top of the thread. What do you have against the Swiss? They are certainly no mugs and a lot better than Austria. Link to comment

My point is that like Austria, another beautiful exterior yet uncomfortable, false, nae real culture, their histories in world football reflects their national personality. Link to comment
NorthernLights24 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 It was quite an enjoyable game. The Swiss are a decent side but lack that something special. Good overview of the game I saw on the BBC website was that it was a game of two pitches. In the first half it suited the Swiss but in the 2nd when the pitch had dried a bit the Turks were able to get their game going. Link to comment
