feck off Mark Lawrenson, that was his 200th foul and that's why it is a yellow.

10 men in the box? Don’t know what match you’re watching but this is about Swe-Swi. Wouldn’t say there are any 10 men in the box.
Sorry, behind the ball. Same negative thing.

It’s two teams who are here because of hard work, good tactics and sticking to their plans. No superstars. Not because they play entertaining football. Both have survived pretty good teams who now can watch WC on tv.

So much bloody negativity in this thread. Does everybody have to play wondrous fluid football? There's more to the sport than that, ye miserable cnuts.

The quality from both teams is piss poor. If we can beat Columbia we really do have a fantastic chance to make it to the final.

The writing was clear on the wall. People should have just bypassed the game like I did.

No wonder Behrami and Neymar are buds, as they are both obviously class A cnuts

Every fecking time Forsberg has a chance to go on the break he gets tugged at and impeded. The ref really needs to start getting his cards out for the Swiss.
You don't exactly sound overtly positive yourself. It's not that the football isn't fluid or amazing, its negative because these are international footballers and the quality in the final 3rd has been an absolute joke, nowhere near the international level of quality. It's a very poor game to watch, which hasn't been wholly surprising.

It’s the Neymar generation. Work ethics and tactics don’t count any more :)

24th ranked Sweden should beat the 6th in the world ranked side who have lost one of their last 25 matches? The weird thing is that I think so too but don't understand why!

Do we all just underrate Switzerland because they're so massively boring?
I think it's because they've never been good, so that's what's stuck in people's minds. At least that's what I remember, can't think of when they've ever been good.

Finally Sweden! One of the first shots on target for them gets a sneaky deflection - thats why you should just have a pop, never know whats going to happen!

So if I'm negative about the negativity, that means I'm guilty of the same thing I'm complaining about?

And I'm not saying the game is shit, I was just complaining about the ref allowing them to use illegal means to stop Sweden's major playmaker, so I don't see how you can try to paint me as hypocritical. The game might lack a bit of quality, but people are being over the top about it.

This Sweden team reminds me of Leicester City when they won the PL.
