Vonlanthens hit the bar from 6 yards too.

Should've been a PK for the Swiss. How did the referee and the AR miss that one?

The wife was blithering ... what happened?

Never mind, just seen it. That would have been very harsh.

Swiss unlucky to be behind, but they make far too many mistakes. The Czechs are far too slow and uncreative and if Portugal brings anything close to their A game on Wednesday, will completely dismantle them.

Yeah, but he had his arm way out away from his body so it was pretty blatant even if not intentional.

Agree with all your points there.

[Travarelli]

All of the sudden this game is very, very live.

I must agree, much as I'd have liked to see the Swiss equalize. If they don't...wow, what a gut-wrenching start. Lose your top scorer and most effective player, then drop a match when you were in control for much of it (mind you, it looked like 10 v 12 until Koller went off, but still...:().

"Their timing is normally so impeccable."

Was that really a joke about swiss watches? Niiice. Nice. Derek DOES have a sense of humor. :p

yoy really delight in being like the bad boy, don't you? Like the bad sarcastic caustic boy of bigsoccer.

Um, Just kidding, I think. :p

So, the Czechs have brought on 2 tough guys in the last 10 mins or so, to keep their lead and do battle, if Smyth is to be believed.

That was a very enjoyable game, great opening of euro2008 :)

Really too bad this. I had my money on a 1-1, and the Swiss would have deserved it.

Game close to the final whistle now.

Swiss unlucky to get nothing out of that free kick there. Here's another one...

[lennyd44]
