MoTM imo. Directly Involved in all the Swiss chances.

He was OK, but certainly not Man of the Match, even though he got that award.
MOTM was clearly that guy.

Not sure if I'd say Xhaka was MOTM. Despite having the man advantage, Switzerland couldn't control the midfield and most of their chances came from counter attacks. That said, I think Xhaka had a couple of good through passes which directly lead to chances (which Berisha promptly saved), but I think his overall controlling of the game was mediocre by his standards.

Don't think I'll bother with the Romania match. Go for a walk in the sun on the beach instead. Will have to watch the France game though.

How many chances has Seferovic squandered already this tournament?

Yeah, not sure about that penalty. But still completely unnecessary, Lichtsteiner doesn't need to do this.

Lichtsteiner... c'mon. Totally unnecessary.

Kept pulling the shirt right in front of the ref. What did he expect?

I went out after the last game finished and only missed 10 mins, but if my wife wants the TV she can have it. I can survive without watching this (because I want the big screen for tonight and tomorrow's first game. :nod:

I just feel like we'd see a lot of penalties if this would be enough to get one all the time. But Lichtsteiner can't complain, sure.

Another horrible match with no attacking quality

Seems a good argument for limiting the number of teams in the finals.

Post #79 » by **Baphomet** » Wed Jun 15, 2016 5:05 pm

Can't disagree. Nothing wrong with the original 16 teams in 4 groups format.
