Football World Cup - Russia 2018

[Accy cyclist]

How crap was that!!

 

[Seevio]

Makes you realise how bad Argentina are.

 

[Levo-Lon]

I had compound fractures of both my arms, none made we limp ffs

Does this mean the Argies are back??

 

[Reynard]

I take it the penalty miss was a real clanger...

Everything else, I caught on the radio.

Anyways, mundanities taken care of. Gonna put a on and settle back for Switzerland v Serbia.

 

[Reynard]

Here we go again. This one should be a good 'un.

Hop Suisse!!! (and COYG)

 

[Reynard]

Game's off to a lively start. Serbia got the first chance, but now the Swiss are in the ascendancy.

Long distance shot from Granit Xhaka - over the bar.

 

[Reynard]

Fabby save from Jan Sommer.

 

[Reynard]

Serbia cross, uncontested header. 1-0 Serbia.

 

[Reynard]

Now that puts the cat among the pigeons. The Swiss have to come out and play as opposed to contain their opponents.

 

[Reynard]

Good chance for Switzerland. Lovely cross, but the shot goes wide.

Should have been 1-1

 

[Reynard]

Serbia are playing at a million miles an hour. The Swiss look a bit stretched. But will they be able to keep up this intensity for the whole 90 mins?

 

[Reynard]

Mitrovic goes for a bicycle kick. Well over the bar.

 

[AndyRM]

At some point Rafa has to realise that Mitrovic is quality.

 

[Reynard]

Brilliant save by Stoikovic after a lovely move by Switzerland.

 

[Reynard]

Promising for Switzerland, but that was poor. Wrong decision, should have shot rather than passed, and the chance goes a-begging.
