World Cup: R16: Sweden vs. Switzerland, 7/3/2018

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Swiss cheese defense.

 

[Hybbe]

I want Henrik Larsson out of retirement.

 

[Baxterman]

Tough call today.

Sweden is absolute crap and if England get by Colombia would be a much easier opponent but at the same time there are already so many crap teams through that I would prefer the better team get through for better soccer.

It is hard to imagine that Sweden can continue to get by with their defenders in cement shoes out there but hopefully they can do it for one more game before being crushed in the next round.

Who doesn't? He was a joy to watch. Except that one play where he broke his leg.

Sweden - Mexico 3-0
Brazil - Mexico 2-0

FACT: SWEDEN IS BETTER THAN BRAZIL

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Swedes with some awful passing in the final third.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Swiss are clearly looking for counter-attacks.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Screw you Sommer.

 

[kihei]

Hard to get into. Cannon fodder versus cannon fodder.

 

[Legionnaire]

Really? Possess handbook:

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Inconsistent ref.

 

[Legionnaire]

Are you kidding me?

 

[The Noot]

So Rodriguez thought that this card is bs and, in a moment of benevolent vigilante justice, just passed the ball to the opposing keeper to make up for it.

The only explanation I have for this

 

[Kyle McMahon]

This had 0-0/play for penalties written all over it. And it may yet. But these teams are at least prodding for a goal, surprised we've had a few chances.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Sweden have had great opportunities but awful finishing.

 

[Prntscrn]

That's the second time Berg's been ball hogging and stopping a possible counter attack ugh

 

[Legionnaire]

So close

 

[The Noot]

yay, they did something

 

[Natey]

That right there is Switzerland's biggest problem. They lack finishers. They have a bunch of strikers who aren't any good.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Does anyone complain more than this Swedish coach?

 

[Legionnaire]

That was a great wall play.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

f*** SAKE

 

[Prntscrn]

Sweden isn't any better obviously

 

[Legionnaire]

Oj Jeez/ +

 

[TP]

Unreal
