Any predictions on this one? A Swiss win could spell serious trouble for France.


And for that reason, I'm pulling for Switzerland. :p

3-0 Switzerland win because of all the trouble with the Togolese team.

Swiss Bankers 2
Togo 0

:D

Oh yeah, left out my own prediction. I'm gonna say 2-0, Switzerland.

Game on!

Togo team coach is wearing a bright pink shirt (yeah, really bright pink).

"That's hot."

GAH! Same ref as in the US-Czech match! :eek:

This is going to end in a scoreless draw and this ref better do a better job officiating than he did in the US-Czech match.

I'm shocked. This ref has no business on any pitch anywhere, let alone at the World Cup.

I agree with you 100%

Goooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
1-0 Switzerland

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Swiss made the Togo D look like Swiss Cheese and leads 1-0.

The Togolese have produced some decent chances, though.

OUCH!

Offsides and it probably would've been a goal too.

Frei scored the goal. Frei is pronounced "Fry"

Um...thanks for the lesson in German pronunciation? :confused:

Agreed. They did say Fry on the tele :D

Well, they do a great job with footballer names.

I was hoping for a draw... T'is not to be, I fear.

Go Togo, damn you! Allez les Verts! Allez les Eperviers!

Both teams are getting nasty!

A Togo player gets carded for his tackle.

We are at the half with the Swiss up 1-0.

Well, Togo need to get at least a point. They really need to get going 2nd half.

I predicted a 2:1 win for Switzerland.

That said, G;) T;)G;)!!!

And I almost forgot to watch it, too!

Hey look, it's raining on the game and sunny at the same time.

Amazing German technology :D

[Actually, they have severe storm warnings all over Germany, strong winds picking up here as well, dark (violet-black) clouds plus sunshine...]

That Yakim fellow is sure causing problems for Togo.

But it looks like at least they've woken up. Game's more lively now.

Togo nearly had it but it wouldn't have matter anyway.

Togo need to repeat an "Australia" now.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Swiss have put Togo away with their 2nd goal of the match. 2-0 Switzerland.

Could I have my first correct score prediction of the World Cup? :eek:

Time for some Swiss chocolate! ... none around ... :(

A swiss player just got a yellow card.

This game is over. 2-0 Swiss victory.

I'll settle for any chocolate, actually. Well, not *any* chocolate. I have had bad-tasting chocolate, as impossible as that sounds.

2-0 win to Switzerland.



Togo are going home.

I picked one correctly!

Togo out, Swiss win 2-0

Last games for this group
Togo vs Le Bleus
Swiss vs S Korea

OUCH!

Offsides and it probably would've been a goal too.wrong offside calls killed Togo goal chances (FIFA Off-side BS deciding games, what else is new)

I have half a block of 72% cocoa stuff upstairs. I can't eat it because I ate the first half way to fast and it didn't sit too well when eaten in such a quantity.

I didn't see a single wrong offside call against Togo, and as Mohammed Kader is on one of my fantasy teams, I would be biased in his favour. So shut up with the unjustified complaints already.

Congrats to tha Swiss playa.. they played 2 good games.

C´mon Korea! I want to beat you at the next match XD

I didn't see a single wrong offside call against Togo, and as Mohammed Kader is on one of my fantasy teams, I would be biased in his favour. So shut up with the unjustified complaints already.like I said phantom Offside-Calls.

Play the tape.

Then I suggest you re-watch the replays on the ones that should not have been called. There were several offsides that were indeed onsides.

like I said phantom Offside-Calls.

Play the tape.

Play it yourself. If the player has just a toe behind the line of the last defender when the ball is played they are offside, and Kader was offside a lot.

But meh. Our arguing won't change the outcome. If you want to think there were a lot of bad calls that is your perogative.

Play it yourself. If the player has just a toe behind the line of the last defender when the ball is played they are offside, and Kader was offside a lot.

And yet...he was dead even (complete with toe) with the last defender back.

And how can you be certain of this. The camera is not lined up exactly in line with the last defender and you were not there. Exactly in line is possible - I will grant you that, but having already been offside a good dozen times (not all called) then the player loses - with reason - the benefit of the doubt. If you cheat a lot then people suspect you of cheating even if you are not, and being offside is cheating.

But as I said above, you have your opinion, I have mine and at the end of the day the result in the book is 2 - 0 regardless of our opinions.

why dont you roll your tongue and stick it inside your own ass? why dont you Shut up? (translation: MY free speech)

Why don't you settle the fuck down?

Mine as well, so no need to start flaming me. I did not tell you to shut up, I simply asked you to shut up complaining about something you can do nothing about. OK.

Why don't you settle the fuck down?cos I do not feel like it.

does it answer your question?

I simply asked you to shut up complaining about something you can do nothing about. OK.I never asked you to shup up about anything.. did I?

cos I do not feel like it.

Sure does, troll.

I never asked you to shup up about anything.. did I?

In case you haven't realised, "shut up already" is a pretty standard phrase that is about as insulting as Elmer Fudd. Your response to this was totally out of proportion. But you may learn how to deal with peple as you get older, so there is hope for you yet.

So I will delete my asymetric "response".
