Did Switzerland expect to win?

BUT it's only half-time.
His decision not to red card their guy for a 2 footed studs up tackle was almost as bad.

My footie pal Al said that in the premier league the guy would have been straight off in 19 out of 20 occasions but perhaps the fact that it happened at Jared O'Clock, aka 4 minutes may have been the deciding factor. Who am I to demur?

It appeared to be a sort of Ulster performance in a big game, no shots fired, outplayed. Switzerland strolled that.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Yes the ref had a shocker giving the penalty and the Swiss lad was lucky his "tackle" happened in the first 5 minutes, but Northern Ireland were at home and managed zero shots on target.

Very flat performance, similar to what happens to Ulster in the "big games" as Baggy mentioned above. Better being the underdog, things go Pete Tong when people actually start thinking there is a chance of winning the game.....

Thing is, they were massive underdogs before the game.

That is OK then. No need for any of this ballix about refs etc.
