Best line to cheer the soul
Switzerland are going to be on the end of a right spanking if they're not careful! France look so dangerous every time they break.
All about Ecuador in this group for now. In theory you could fail to get through with 6 points in this group

More holes in their defence than a Swiss cheese.
Incroyable! French football was in complete crisis a couple of months ago. Front page articles in the French newspapers about how the country hated their team. And now look at them storming through the World Cup. Italy mired in a match fixing crisis in the run up to 2006, go on and win the World Cup. Brazil in 2002, barely squeaked into the tournament through qualifying, go on and win the whole thing.
Never seems to work that way for England!

I guess the Swiss are just hoping that France turn up and beat them in the last game because everyone should beat Honduras.

What does the Swiss defence and Swiss cheese have in common?
They're both full of holes.
I, too, am sorry.
God-damnit, Sattrega beat me to it!

Irresistible attacking football from the French. Wonderful to watch.

I am happy France are winning so dominant because it makes ms Le Pen and her Racist father look inrelevant.

The French have been too re-lindt-less in their attack.

With that in mind you wonder if they'll come out with full attacking intent against Honduras later to try and rack up their goal difference.
Seeing the replay of the third French goal makes me think we may not see a better counter-attacking goal in this World Cup.

Agreed. It could be 4, 5 or even 6-0 by now. The Swiss need to keep an eye on their goal difference, its -2 with the 2nd half to come.
Have a great match folks, a s I'm trotting back to BB forum to see who will be booted, but was nice here.

You have quite the obsession with racist fathers.

The manager needs to make a sub or two to help the Swiss guard against that attack.
