World Cup Games. Day Four.

[James]

Switzerland vs. Ecuador. France vs. Honduras. Argentina vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina.
I can see Ecuador beating the Swiss today. Easy wins for France and Argentina? Bosnia should give them a game, perhaps?
This World Cup has been wonderful so far with teams like Germany, Belgium, Ghana and Portugal still to come. Let's hope it continues today.

 

[Frogfish]

The Swiss are very tough to beat ... but the heat may affect them. So should go the same as James, with the favourites .. but that means Sweet FA in this World Cup !

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

Looking forward to seeing Argentina later, on paper they should destroy that group.

 

[gkmacca]

Adrian Chiles is in shorts. Dixon and Wright are in deckchairs waffling away. ITV is the worst broadcaster in the world.

 

[Judge Jules]

Argentina should win but I reckon Bosnia will run them closer than some of you fellas seem to think.

Lennon and Strachan far too ginger for direct sunlight there

Lennon, that well known 'Scottish' ex player, according to veal-cheeks Chiles.

 

[cloggypop]

I can see Chiles toes and it is not pleasant

 

[Judge Jules]

I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that, due to his part-Croatian parentage, MI6 supposedly once tried to recruit him.

 

[gkmacca]

Adrian Chiles jogs each day and he still looks like THAT!

 

[Hansern]

Felipe Caciedos idol must be Busta Rhymes going by that barnet

 

[Judge Jules]

Chiles probably does what I do - after I've been to the gym I'm usually off to the caff at the nearby Countryside Centre for a bacon sarnie.

I hasten to add that at least I don't look like Jabba the Hutt after a tummy tuck.

 

[cloggypop]

Go Ecuador!

 

[Hansern]

Will be interesting to see Shaqiri

 

[Red Astaire]

Ha! That's one of the many reasons I quit working for them!

 

[gkmacca]

The keeper saves the ball, drops it, saves it again and then takes it over his own line. 'I think that has to go down as a goalkeeping error,' pipes up Clarke Carlisle. Come on, Shaqiri, distract me, please!

 

[gkmacca]

Ecuador in front - woeful defending!

[OLD_Lewy]

shaqs looked alright, nothing special

 

[cloggypop]

Clark Carlisle thinks that it is only quality stopping Jackson Martinez making the starting lineup for Ecuador.

I heard that too

He's an educated man dontchaknow

 

[Hansern]

Just sign Shaqiri. He'll be immense for us.

And stop flapping about for Moreno and buy Rodriguez

 

[cloggypop]

Somebloke with the equaliser for Switzerland

 

[Whirly]

Univision commentators are absolutely creaming themselves about Shaqiri.

And they're catering towards a primarily Ecuadorian audience.

 

[red_maradona]

Just sign Shaqiri. He'll be immense for us.

really, granted its only one game, but he has hardly set the world on fire against a average team.

 

[Hansern]

He's been ace since playing for Basel though. You can see the potential and quality. 22 years old.

 

[dmishra]

Swiss have a goal incorrectly ruled offside. To be fair, it was a difficult call.

 

[Athens]

Ecuador lost the ball when they should have scored and the Swiss take it down the other end to score.

 

[dmishra]

93rd minute winner by Switzerland. Brilliant last-ditch tackle by Behrami to deny Ecuador, and then a lethal counter-attack. Boom!

 

[Athens]

2-1 to the Swiss cheese. More importantly, I get my first correct scoreline in the prediction league!
