Someone on Bluesky has referred to the game as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which is nice.

Maybe they read it on here.

Somewhere in a parallel universe, Jhon Duran is tearing the Swiss defence to pieces.

[Stu]

Seems unlikely.

When it comes to JD you really wouldn't be surprised if he never plays again.

[Dogtanian]

Lovely bit of play.

[Dogtanian]

This game needs half a dozen or so goals…

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

England are nowhere near the final. Turn it in .

You make it sound out of the ordinary, which is odd considering how far in tournaments England have gotten in recent tournaments. I don't think there is much in it between England and Argentina at all (should they both progress).

[Dogtanian]

Good chance there for Switzerland.

There was a Beavis and Butthead episode with an old Michael Bolton video on it.
"Is this heavy metal?"
"Michael Bolton can take any kind of music, and make it suck".

That's pretty much Switzerland at football. No matter who the matchup is against, if Switzerland are involved you know it's going to be a dour game.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Back on Norway. I quite liked Hauge for Bodø/Glimt and he can't even get in the side.

[Dogtanian]

Bad miss there by the Swiss.

Swiss manager looks like a Bond villain

Xhaka chucking his weight about.
