Israel V France. Switzerland V Cyprus

[dancinpants]

HT Switzerland 0 - 0 Cyprus

40' Israel 0 - 0 France

[Shae_B2D]

NP.

Barthez isn't very popular tonight... the Israeli crowd sings all the time, apart from when Barthez touches it and then they all boo.

Was too lazy to go to the stadium today.. starts too late, I hate the French team, don't particuarly like our team too much apart from pure patriotism and I start working early tomorrow, but it seems like a bit of fun being there. Very noisy :)

ETA: HUGE safe from the Israeli goalie... that was close.

38'... The French are getting into the game, they've had quite a few good chances in the last couple of mins.

[Poor Student]

Swiss 0-0 at HT. French game appears to be heading the same way.

LOL now you can all join our drinking game - drink whenever the crowd is booing (=every time Barthez touches the ball). At least someone can keep me company, I'm all sick so didn't go out to watch the game with people, and my brother who usually watches games with me started his 3-year military service today...

Ouch! Consciption is a full 3 years? And don't women have to too?

HT 0 - 0

Yes, women have to do it too, it's 2 years for women, I did 2.5 years.

Can you get off with civil duty? Fair play to Israel. I saw them playing Slovenia in Turkey on TV in Slovenia and they looked fairly poor. Seems they have imrpoved on last campaign.

Women who declare themselves as religious get to do civil duty. most of us do the usual military service. My sister will be finishing her in a month.

Well, there has been a slight but consistent improvement in the last few years, but the Israeli team has this problem of waking on the wrong side, and then nothing can help them, or the right side, and then nothing can help the opponents (ask France why they didn't play in the 1994 world cup).

60' Switzerland 0 - 0 Cyprus

[dancinpants]

C'MON CYPRUS!!! :o

[boysingreen]

Any site to follow the Swiss game better than Soccernet.com (click on live scores). There the only updates you get is goals and cards (not minutes).

[Poor Student]

This is so tense. :D 65 mins gone 0-0.

[holidaysong]

France 1 - Israel 0

Trezeguet 50mins... :mad:

[holidaysong]

Must be only 15 mins or so left in Swiss match? :confused:

[Mbabazi28]

Trezeguet scored for France, looked like a bad mistake by the keeper. Haven't been following it too much, are Israel up to much? Could they pull one back?

Come on the Cypriots!

[Shae_B2D]

Trezeguet 50mins... :mad:

Trezeguet just hit Tal Ben Haim after Ben Haim fouled.

Trezeguet red card!!!

[Slash/ED]

Trezeguet gets probably the most blatant red card of all time

[boysingreen]

Trezeguet just hit Tal Ben Haim after Ben Haim fouled.

[phillyla*ger]

[Shae_B2D]

still 0 - 0

[boysingreen]

all I can see is no score by the 73' in Swiss match, when a Cypriot got yellow carded.

[eirebhoy]

Trez apparantly misses the Ireland game.


Tal Ben Haim did a Georgie. Must have been watching Setanta at halftime
Except this time he actually got headbutted. :)

[Poor Student]

Swiss 1-0 up! :mad:

[Shae_B2D]

You can't side with that shower.

No its not. The Swiss France draw cancelled it out. Nobody expected Cyprus to get so close in Switzerland.

Frei scored the goal btw.

[beautifulrock]

not good news, but lets be honest it was the result we expected but by a smaller margin
