Bloody hell, that last comment when from nought to popular in about thirty seconds! :lol:

I will say this is the most one sided game I have seen so far. Spain looked good for 40 minutes vs Holland, Portugal have the excuse of they played with 10 men for an hour in the midday sun but this has been one way traffic. It's further proof that the FIFA ranking system is a joke.

Regardless Switzerland don't conceded many, qualified at a canter and have some good players playing at a high level, not to mention a top coach.

Mauled.

That's the flaw though, the ELO system where opposition are intelligently weighted has more credibility if you ask me. Going into the World Cup Switzerland were 13th, France 9th.

I agree with you.

I said it ages ago. Switzerland are an average side but keep getting lucky with regards to who they draw in the qualifiers. There are much better European teams than them sitting at home, and it pisses me right off.

 

Like who?

 

The Swiss deserve their place here. Much weaker teams qualified from Europe... like England!

If Ukraine couldn't top a group that includes England then they don't deserve their place here!  ;)

 

I would have liked to see Sweden here though

Nobody wanted to watch Ibra make his final mark on this grand old competition than me. But as a unit they're not good enough.

Don't know enough about Ukraine really aside from their games against England, but you know what that's football. It's the nature of tournaments like this, tough draw etc.

Fair play on MON bringing out the two European Cup medals he has at home.  I thought he was going to say it at half time when he was talking about France in 2002 and Vieira having a World Cup medal. Seems that was just baiting Chiles into saying something. :lol:

Very much this. We are in a major transition with Zlatan being the only shining light. (very shiny though) Unless we get a very favourable qualifying group you probably won't see us for a good while in a WC or EC
