Switzerland is always a very compact team and strong on defense. "Switzerland"? Uhm... Mvogo... Rodriguez... Akanji... Mbabu... Xhaka... Shaqiri... Zakaria... Edimilson Fernandes... Djibril Sow... Haris Seferovic... Admir Mehmedi... Breel Embolo... Mario Gavranović...
seems very unfair that the 'big teams' play at home but such is the finance of football. I agree with you. Italy will play all the matches here in Rome and at night. I can understand the suffering of the English team playing at 2 pm in the heat....

I know, it's shameful. National teams football is starting to look too much like club football, where the rich and powerful buy as much as they want from other places. The same could go for the "France" national team that won the World Cup 2018. Most big European national teams have been doing it for a couple of decades now. At least the Copa America is played with players who were actually born and raised in their countries and who have full identification with them.

Mario Gavranovic's pet budgie was born in Zurich, therefore that makes him eligible to be Swiss...

Yes, exactly. And Edmilson Fernandez's aunt was married for a couple of years to a man from Geneva, and Edmilson himself once visited them there. As Swiss as gruyere cheese.

Nice to see Italy and Wales keep on doing well. If I'm not mistaken, now it's just a matter of tying and both will proceed on to the next round. smileys-whistling-823718
I'm wondering about Germany. Their World Cup campaign was their worst in 68 years and now they have started the Euros with the left foot. Granted, against probably the most solid team in the world right now, but still, if they lose against Portugal they'll be out again. Maybe keeping the same coach for so long is not such a good idea...

'Sniffer' Low has run out of ideas and outstayed his tenure it seems....

The estimate losses that Coca-Cola had because of that simple gesture from a football player are mindblowing.
