Lichtsteiner got away with that, that should have been a penalty.
Group A: Albania vs Switzerland - KO 2pm, BBC1/HD
4 of 5
Albania unlucky not to have a penalty there?
Lichtsteiner did have his arms wrapped around the striker.

When the Albanian Defender pulled the Swiss guy's Shorts and then followed up by hacking him down, could he have been shown 2 Yellow Cards for that incident?
not the most impressive performance by the swiss here, playing against arguably the worst team in the tournament and against 10 men for all of the second half
and albania really should be on level terms with that penalty they had turned down or that 1on1 miss

And a bit dirty in a sneaky way. Grown to dislike him in this match.

Great chance! Albania only got themselves to blame here. Switzerland unimpressive.

That should have been two yellows, the ref bottled it.
Both goalies have been excellent
Albania have some fantastic passers, from what I've seen all 4 of these teams are very even (perhaps not on paper)

Ahh, so is this the first time then?
as the old cliche goes the 3 points are more important than the performance but that was a struggle for a team that were being touted as a possible dark horse to win the tournament
A case of what might have been for Albania.
I think Romania will fancy their chances against both of these sides.
