I thought Breel Embolo was very good yesterday. Strong, fast and holding the ball for Swiss attackers to link up.
Ye looks decent and I’ll be surprised if he isn’t linked with a move to one of the top teams. We should be looking at him. Wouldn’t cost to much aswell I don’t think.

Great run and pass by Son. He has done nothing in the whole campaign. Finally contributed an important assist.

To be fair it was their second team and also you can’t judge until the knockouts.



Africa also don’t have Gibraltar, Liechenstein and San Marino countries with fewer than 50,000 people adding to the numbers. A few small countries there too by fewer small ones.
I know it wasn’t their first team but they still had a lot of big names . Guys like Antony, Jesus, Martinelli , Rodrygo etc .

you are always a tough oponnent! i expect us to get spanked by portugal 4:0
Guess we are but never have composure for these big tournaments, lost to you 4 years ago after winning 1-0 at HT, so not holding onto the lead is huge problem and hard to expect to go far with that.

You could get spanked by Portugal if they perform really well, but could win it as well if you can shut down their attack. Good luck and retire Ronaldo :lol:

What?? They didn't even have 4 goal chances.....

This game should've been done and settled by Switzerland at HT if anything. They let them come back with 2 pretty stupid errors but switched it again.
Serbia needed 2 from 70' onwards but couldn't even create one single chance.

In the end a good, controlled game. Should've scored a few more to top the group but I guess they didn't expect Brazil to lose...
Maybe its just me being super nervous all game as a fellow swiss

Well you were right, in a bad way unfortunately... Bruno playing great is a positive at least.

the thing is we had plenty of close games going either way but as soon as they score like 2 and get rolling you can barely stop them portugal is like a much more direct spanish team
