Administrator Stan Posted June 29, 2021 Administrator Posted June 29, 2021 VS Kick-off 17.00 (BST) Venue - Krestovsky Stadium, St Petersburg Winner plays Belgium or Italy
Lucas Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 This is a funny one. You'd say Spain were favourites but would you dare write the Swiss off? Probably not. I kinda feel like Switzerland's 'final' was France and considering they put so much physically and emotionally into that game that it will be hard for them to produce another big performance. No one has really been speaking about Spain but here they are, quarter finals of another big tournament and have smashed 10 goals in their last two games. It's not how you start, but how you finish and they are slowly gathering momentum. Even though they seem to miss that deadly finisher, the one thing you can say about them is they make enough chances and look capable of doing something. Luis Enrique has also constantly rotated throughout and kept things fresh and so for that reason, you'd fancy them to see off what could be a tired Switzerland here.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted June 30, 2021 Subscriber Posted June 30, 2021 Spain will be hard to contain considering they've been slowly gaining momentum but this Swiss side can hit you where it hurts and this is their chance to dump Spain out of another competition. I really hope they put everything they have into this game because I'd like to see them advance.
Dr. Gonzo Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 I want Switzerland to win this. Not really sure why - but I like this Swiss team and I think this Spain team is a bit shit (even though it's very good)
Moderator Tommy Posted July 1, 2021 Moderator Posted July 1, 2021 That Swiss fan that went viral is already using the perks of his sudden fame.
ASF Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Want Spain to go through. If Belgium beats Italy, only Spain can prevent them of reaching the final. I don't see Switzerland capable of doing that. 1-3 Spain
6666 Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Switzerland are without Xhaka for the game which will make things a lot more difficult for Switzerland. Still hoping they can do something here. Shaqiri needs to turn up and Zuber needs to keep doing what he's been doing.
6666 Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 2 minutes ago, shut up said: The yellow card rule is bullshit btw I genuinely thought it was 3 yellows in different games for a one game suspension. The fact it's 2 is ridiculous especially when they give out yellows for nothing.
Moderator Tommy Posted July 2, 2021 Moderator Posted July 2, 2021 Zakaria in for Xhaka doesn't have to be a disadvantage. (wrote that in the wrong topic before )
Michael Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 You have to feel sorry for Sommer after that wicked deflection for the goal, but Alba struck the ball very well.
El Profesor Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 I'm completely neutral on this one, but I must admit that everytime a spanish defender pass the ball back Unai Simón my heart beats a little faster, like something is about to happen.
UNORTHODOX Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Come on the Swiss, they have some great set piece takers takers in their team Shaqiri, Xhaka, Rodriguez so they still have a chance of getting through here.
Moderator Tommy Posted July 2, 2021 Moderator Posted July 2, 2021 I think Switzerland can still come back into this game! Hopefully they'll bring on Mbabu! He was awesome when he came on against France.

Administrator Stan Posted July 2, 2021 Author Administrator Posted July 2, 2021 Switzerland have gained a bit of momentum with their high press but I still can't see them scoring.
Administrator Stan Posted July 2, 2021 Author Administrator Posted July 2, 2021 Great save from Unai Simon.
Administrator Stan Posted July 2, 2021 Author Administrator Posted July 2, 2021 SHAQIRI!!! Equaliser!! Mistake from the Spanish defence and Switzerland take full advantage!
Dr. Gonzo Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 YES SHAQIRI I love that little cube & this Swiss team... ...added bonus is this probably lets us add to his price tag in the event of his likely sale this summer
6666 Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Hope this isn't another game where Shaqiri gets taken off early.

Terrible defending by the Spanish, but Shaqiri took his chance well. Spain's defence though has been their Achilles heel during the knockout stages, in terms of them making such basic mistakes at times.
Administrator Stan Posted July 2, 2021 Author Administrator Posted July 2, 2021 Switzerland have been well on top since half-time, really. Spain haven't created much to threaten Sommer.
