Baptista_8 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 When you realise 54 matches have been played already and there's only 10 left I think all 16 knocked out teams from the groups should go into their own mini-tournament Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I hope this is decent. However I can see another soporific game like Switzerland v Ukraine 2006 where they basically both played for penalties from the first whistle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously can't remember watching a worse World Cup match. I reckon this match will be the lowlight of the last 16. Sweden to nick it by a single goal and set up a Quarter Final with Colombia.

ArsenalFan7 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 If we are to go through, I’d rather play the Swiss considering this Swedish side is an absolute bastard to play against and is the exact sort of team to knock us out after underestimating them.

CFuller Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Alex Scott said Switzerland are missing two key defenders, which means, "You've got young players like Lang coming in there, not their normal right-back, and then Djourou as well." Michael Lang is 27 and Johan Djourou is 31. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayihavecookie Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Excited to see what Michael Lang can do on that level, only Super League player in the squad. Very dangerous in front of the goal for a right back, he scored lots in the league and CL this season. Could see him score the only goal of the day. Edit: Thanks Sommer!
