[The39thStep]

Spain for me . 34c here so I’m in inside a bar with air conditioning . Going to watch the Italy game at home and snack .

 

[two sheds]

give it to Shaqiri

Swiss looking sharp on the counter

 

[purves grundy]

WTF?!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh, well then...

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I'd like the Swiss to win but reckon it'll be 2:1 to Spain after half time......oh....maybe 3:1

 

[Diamond]

Jammy

 

[Lord Camomile]

As ever, hope that's not given as an OG.

For the players, not just because I have Alba in my fantasy team...

 

[planetgeli]

Spain with just the 83% possession in the first ten minutes. And a goal.

Can't see this match going any other way now.

Good it wasn't given as own goal.

 

[two sheds]

Don't piss about in front of goal

Preparing to use the term 'floodgates'

 

[Sprocket.]

Heart says Switzerland but head says Spain.
But I had these boots on when Switzerland beat France.

Ah changed again, but did look like it was on target originally.

 

[Lord Camomile]

It has been

UEFA conspiracy confirmed

(But aye, it was a pretty sizeable change of direction that totally wrongfooted the 'keeper, although keep forgetting if that matters if the original shot was still on target, just a different bit of the target)

 

[The39thStep]

Seferovic who plays for the Swiss also plays for Benfica . Incredibly hard working forward / wide attacker who can score but also has a tendency to fluff his lines .

 

[RedRedRose]

The Swiss have to deal with the wide men and not conceding so many set pieces. So far, I like their shape and their willingness to play open football.

Let's hope he gets a few takes

Was definitely something that was noted when they played France - they proper went at them and weren't super-conservatively.

 

[Diamond]

Promising signs from the Swiss. Notable that the Spanish goal was a deflected long-shot. Have they really done as much as it looks like (the Spanish)...?

 

[Sprocket.]

Swiss looking good. Keep it up.

 

[Diamond]

I reckon they'll get at least one of those set pieces, the Swiss.

His pitch map after 32 minutes. Two touches.

 

[The39thStep]

Do like the look of that Pedri

One of them was a throw in

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Swiss looking the better side now. Got into the game.

 

[campanula]

Losing Embolo was a blow - can't say I rated Vargas. Could be a game of attrition

 

[littlebabyjesus]

In summary: Dull.
