What's Sven got to do with it?

[SkippyjonJones]

woohoo. waphael wicky is playing!!

 

 

best name of the world cup. Pythonesque!!

 

 

 

 

 

whats happening? no cards?

[BDB]

Sensible reffing so far..

 

I think that if a player goes down a tackle and over exaggerates they should be kept off the pitch for 3 mins. no swan dives, no triple axel somersaults.

 

Both the swiss and ukrainians are so far jumping up after tackles, no rolling. admirable.

 

 

Schevchenko with a good effort there off the crossbar, from a setpiece, he headed it down, and it bounced up off the crossbar.

 

 

What a free kick from Frei.. off the bar.

 

So far this is a pretty exciting game, free flowing, and good football.

[surf]

Great free kick, unlucky from Frei.

[BDB]

sub for swiss.

 

 

djourou off for grichting, a new defender to mark Schevchenko.

[BDB]

0-0 HT

TBH, i really fancy the Swiss for this one, but hey, who am i to differ from the Tipster General that is Big Stuff

 

 

its a shockingly poor game though

[Guest Sabre]

Leonardo is a genius

 

After BBC show those two Swedish birds, someone says, "They look decent up front." Leonardo chips in with, "All they need now is a Brazilian!"

That's how bad this match is, the BBC have to resort to showing men kissing.

[Guest Red Mist]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........

[surf]

decent pen appeal there for ukraine...

[BDB]

ukraine lad had the swiss guy in a headlock, well defended by magnin.

 

Should we just do penalties, swiss are too neutral

 

the ukraine kit is one of the worst I have seen.

And we're into Extra Time here.

[Guest Jack Bauer]

Is this the first match thread which hasn't got over one page by the end of the 90 minutes?

[Benitez]

Shevchenko will be looking forward to the penalty shoot out.

[Bailo]

This is a terrible match.

[Guest Red Mist]

It's boring as hell but at least it's got a bit of flow to the game and not constant stoppages for fake injuries, like we saw with those bitches from Portugal.

You're a lovely guy.

[Guest Red Mist]

You're a lovely guy.

Thanks but you're not my type.

Silent Hair gives a few of the others a run for 'name of the tournament'.

[BDB]

the players in this match for the most part have jumped up after injuries. nice play there by barnetta.

[Benitez]

You're a lovely guy.

 

 

at least you knew he was a guy. Up until a few months ago, I always thought Mad Misty was a bird
