World Cup Match Thread DAY 4

[yankspurs]

A lot of their top talent is dispersed across the Bundesliga and Serie A, so perhaps the English speaking media aren't as in the know as they should be. It's not just Shaqiri and Drmic though. They might have the best pair of attacking fullbacks in world football. Rodriguez and Lichtsteiner are top class players. Inler and Behrami are an excellent pairing in the midfield. Schar, who we should buy, is a top class talent in the making at centre-back.

Schar's on the bench today so I highly doubt he'll play. But I hope we buy him and Rodriguez.

Who will provide the Swiss full backs with service?

 

[Syn_13]

Ecuador XI: Dominguez, Guagua, Erazo, Paredes, Noboa, Montero, W Ayovi, Caicedo, E Valencia (c), A Valencia, Gruezo
Switzerland XI: Benaglio, Lichtsteiner, Von Bergen, Inler (c), Xhaka, Behrami, Rodriguez, Stocker, Drmic, Djourou, Shaqiri

Djourou starts over Schar?

Lol.

Chiles is a ****

Sunday afternoon, nice weather; WC football; Ben and Jerry's Caramel ice cream; SC brothers and sisters =

After the nightmare commentary from Phil Neville last night, I'm relieved to be listening to Sam Matterface.

 

[nightgoat]

Clarke Carlisle.

 

[DuDe]

LOL. Someone's fishing for the quickest sending off in the WC.

 

[Tom Pops]

Come on Switzerland I have you to do well in the WC

 

[DuDe]

Clarke Carlisle.

Phil Neville. 'nuff said.

 

[DuDe]

Actually, has there been any online fallout over Phil's awful commo last night?

EDIT: had a quick look. Oh dear, even the HP brought it up:

ITV commentators criticising Switzerland's lack of goals while completely overlooking the fact that in qualifying they only scored one less than Belgium, five more than Croatia & Greece, three more than Spain and two more than France. I would rather have a whole team contributing goals rather than relying on just one goal scorer.

They are quite funny but I didn't think he was too bad, what do people want? Ant and Dec and endless clichés

ITV should be banned from showing any sport

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Ecuador go ahead!

 

[THFCSPURS19]

I didn't see that coming.

No, as was mentioned last night: it was not the 'content' but the 'delivery'. He was saying sensible, insightful things, but the way he said it was appalling.

 

[nightgoat]

Great ball in.

 

[Syn_13]

So much for the foam then.

 

[TH1239]

That's why you start Schar. He's very good in the air.
