i hope behrami is happy. He might have cost his team a chance to go far.

I have counted that Switzerland have had 2 chances in this wc. an open goal which they scored and a 1 on 1 which hit the post.

FIFA and 6.8 billion other homo sapiens sapiens, minus the 8m Swiss or so.

I'm following by live ticker only. If you say that because Chile is playing way better than Switzerland someone should change the rules to call for a penalty against those playing ugly for 5 minutes or something :D

have to commend the ref on the dive. It would have been easy for him to give the penalty as the dive was so good no one would blame him for taking the bait. But he said no and he was right. Still since Chile won anyway it would have been nice for them to get a second and increase goal difference.

2 games in a row they should have won 5-0 and won 1-0

Okay... Root for the Swiss all you want. But you do forfeit your right to complain about the World Cup being boring.

If Chile dont become more clinical in the finishing they wont go far; because they wont be facing teams with horrible offences for much longer.

i was rooting for the swiss to score. More goals > less goals.

And it would have made it an epic match had they scored in the last minute.

Same for Spain

They had a bad day against the swiss but i fully expect Spain to make a statement today. Perhaps even challenge portugal for most goals scored today.

They have the best team at the world cup and a lot of their players play with eachother on the same teams so already know how to work together.

In this game i will be willing to forfeit my right to complain about boredom at this world cup. a 0-0 draw means then qualification is out of spains hands.
Im salivating already.

Why are you so eager to see Spain out?
