[Teaboy]

Bit surprised there's not more of a buzz about this mouthwatering encounter between two teams that have lit up the tour..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Anyway, will be interesting to see who Colombia play in the next round if nothing else.

play up switzerland

 

[Teaboy]

Still eerily quiet on this thread. The game kicks off in 5 minutes.

Has everyone gone into a catatonic state through sheer anticipation of the glory of this encounter?

 

[imposs1904]

Come on Sweden.

 

[TruXta]

Kjør på killar!

 

[imposs1904]

FFS

Games don't get any bigger than... oh wait.

 

[editor]

And what a miss that was.

 

[TruXta]

What opportunities! Gotta take those at this stage.

 

[Teaboy]

The Swiss have been a pretty unlikable side so far. They've been too physical and then there was that shitty stuff with their ethnic Albanian players.

At least this game is on the beeb which means I can actually watch it on-line without the impression the game is being played inside a snow globe.

What's the point of this? Sweden is a far more storied football nation than for instance Wales.

What the flying fuck has Wales got to do with this? And it's hardly an outrageous slur to suggest that Sweden v Switzerland isn't exactly seen as the most riveting draw of the tournament.

Its quite clearly the most uninspiring encounter of this round. Hopefully it'll all go off and be a classic.

Sweden have been fucking awful in front of goal this far.

If this was Wales vs Switzerland you'd be bigging it up as the match of the century is why.

I wouldn't actually, but that's immaterial because they're not playing today and your comment is completely irrelevant, pointless and needlessly personal. Wind it in, please.

This has been an awful game so far.

Hit a nerve I think.

 

[imposs1904]

great save

Are you suggesting that football fans get more excited about games when their own team is involved? I've read some pretty controversial things on this website but this...

 

[imposs1904]

This has been an awful game so far.

and, yet, I'm enjoying it. go figure.

 

[editor]

Hit a nerve I think.

You're just being a total arsehole here. What's the matter with you? Why can't you just chat about the game like everyone else?

That's not many games I've seen so far where I can say this, but on the performance thus far, I reckon England could stuff either of these teams.

Oh please.

 

[editor]

How bad was that free kick?!

 

[Badgers]

Kom igen Sverige

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Lively first half

 

[Teaboy]

That was a chance for the Swiss.

 

[imposs1904]

Oh, you fucking wanker . . . the Swedish number 8.
