Switzerland vs France

thejollyrodger

Do we need a draw out of this match or what ? its 0-0 after 20 minutes as far as I know.

does anyone know the score ?

Slash/ED

It's on Setanta and Eurosport. 0-0 around five minutes to half time. 0-0, or any draw, is the dream result as far as I'm concerned, means despite the goal today we're still in pole position in the group and we've no more tough away games left.

France are the better side but the Swiss could easily be in front themselves.

After 41 mins its still scoreless. C'mon the DRAW

Draw would suit us , winners will be the main rivals to top the group.

0-0 after 41 minutes ! thats great. It looks like a tight match after all. Fuçk I really want a draw

Slash/ED

Half time now, there's been to many chances for it to end 0-0 I reckon, if we're to get the draw, it'll be a score one.

thejollyrodger

Its still 0-0 and I think its 20 minutes into the second half. come on 0-0!!!!!!!!!!

Slash/ED

I hate to be pessimistic but I really can't see this finishing scoreless, I'd love to be wrong though, but I fancy France to nick a goal.

thejollyrodger

how many minutes are left ? keep us updated. Aertel is sooooo slow

The Muppet

still 0 0 with 13 minutes of normal time left

I dont want to count my chickens but if they havent scored after 80 minutes of trying maybe they dont have what it takes. Switzerland might hold on for the last 10. Come on !!

Slash/ED

They're creating chances though. Trez missed an absolute bloody sitter around 5 minutes back, thought it was a certain goal, woeful effort from him. Exactly 5 plus stoppage left now, still 0-0.

EDIT - the camera work in this game is bloody awful too. Very very frustrating.

thejollyrodger

there was some mickey mouse camera work in that Ireland Israel match as well. I expected a lot better for the WCQ's.

TBH I cant see any team scoring. If they do it wouldnt be right.

Slash/ED

Into stoppage time now of which there's 2 minutes. The Swiss are dominating atm, France have dominated most of the game though.

The Muppet

0 0 into injury time fingers crossed

Slash/ED

Holy christ that Swiss goalkeeper is trying to give me a heartattack.

IT'S ALL OVER. 0-0, get in!

The Muppet

0 0 full time

thejollyrodger

YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kerr your a lucky man I tell ya

Go on Senderos!

Good result for us, makes the draw earlier today an even bigger shame though. France really have it all to do now, away games to Ireland, Switzerland AND Israel...

Switz goalie is activly trying to make me jump out of my house.
Thank god for that draw, puts us in a tiny bit of a stronger position with more goals scored.

Home matches against all the top teams now, they will decide how good we really are

thejollyrodger

It makes that shamefull performance earlier a bit easier to swallow. I cant see France winning in Israel next week to be brutally honest. Drawing all three games at home FFS, They might not even qualify.

There is a sense of belief about the israeli side and I can definetly see another draw on the cards..

We HAVE to win ALL of our home games though

A little bit easier but can you imagine the position we would have been in if we did not sit back and protect a 1-0 lead for 90 minutes

Makaveli

Yeah 0-0 suits us nicely, would have been a lot better if we hadn't drawn.
This game was so much better than our one. Quite an exciting 0-0 draw it has to be said.

Dewey

Delighted they drew. I know its bad that we only draw but the winners really would of put a stamp on the Automatic place. So thats Ireland, Israel, France on 9 points. And if the Swiss win there game in hand then they are on 9 points. So the group is up for grabs, what is going on with france?? is that 3 0-0s in a row.....at home???

What odds might I get on Swizterland winning the group?

France were even worse than Ireland as they have far greater talent to draw on, Trez has never convinced me in a France shirt even when he's been scoring. Was Pires injured?

I think we can beat Israel at home. I am not at all convinced about France or Switzerland though...very tense times. 3 points tonight would have been a dream...

Let's just say Domenech and Pires don't see eye to eye.

thejollyrodger

The French public dont trust this French side. They think they will let them down. I can see where they are coming from now:p. The players dont like the manager and arent performing for him. I really wouldnt be surprised if France failed to qualify.

I cant see them winning at lansdowne Road at this rate.
