France, spawniest bastards around.

 

[sledger]

It'll be so great if they go out though.

 

[duffer]

Would piss myself laughing if Senderos is played with Djourou. Turn style defending.

 

[duffer]

turnstile obviously

 

[Pothas]

Apparently they play well for Switzerland.

No I don't believe it either.

 

[duffer]

Senderos on the bench according to some other site. Hitzfeld knows what he's doing.

 

[sledger]

I could believe Djourou would be good, or at least better. I remain to be convinced Senderos is capable of anything remotely non-disastrous though.

Mind you, that header he scored with his face, and broke his nose in the process, at Euro 2004, remains an amusing memory.

 

[sledger]

Haha, only just seen that Senderos has been signed by Aston Villa for next season. Can't wait to see how that pans out.

 

[Cabinet96]

There CB's may be average but do Switzerland have the best pair of fullbacks at the World Cup?

 

[duffer]

Djourou nowhere for that goal. Heh.

 

[BeeGee]

Good stuff from Ecuador.

 

[BeeGee]

The Swiss are really putting the heat on now, and the Ecuador keeper doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence.

 

[Cabinet96]

Really makes you wonder what all those naff Shaqiri corners were about.

 

[sledger]

the Ecuador keeper doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence.

Haha, yep. Horrorshow stuff there.

Not that the defence helped him a great deal there, mind you.

 

[BeeGee]

Swiss butchered that. 3 on 1 ffs.

 

[Cabinet96]

Will struggle to have a better end to a game than that. Incredible.

 

[BeeGee]

Awesome game.

 

[Pothas]

Haha yeah even the average games go and have a great end.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's such an amazing climax. Could've won it at one end, end up losing it at the other end 15 seconds later. Just epic.

And yeah, this WC is incredible. Can't be said enough
