    Worst game so far.

    Switzerland versus France.

    Goddam awful.

    When I watched Togo against South Korea, I didnt expect to see worldbeaters on the field, but at least I saw some goals, adventurous play, and some passion.

    In the French-Swiss game, which had some of the best players on display, all of the above were missing.

    Let me repeat, bloody AWFUL!!!

    When I looked at today's fixtures I immediately thought it would be the worst day so far and it certainly has. Both games have been so poor I don't think Brazil could even help.

    Without doubt France v Swiss.
    France were rubbish, no shape or passion. And as for the Swiss why bother going to the World Cup if you aren't even going to try and play soccer. The RTE panel "Brady" in particular said they were Ireland when managed by Charlton, I find that a bit of an insult really at least we followed up the long ball and put defenses under pressure.

    I quite liked the Swiss game, more so than the Brazil game for some
    reason, maybe it was because I had a side bet on the Swiss, it seemed to
    fly by but the Brazil game seemed to drag on.

    The French team is weaker then the sum of the parts.
    I was hoping a fight was going to break out in the Swiss match

    It was Dad's Army v Jack's Army.

    Sums up our place in world football at the moment i'm afraid to admit.

    Not seen anything as bad since Egypt in 1990.

    Truely was the worst game so far, although Germany-Poland wasn't much better.

    My dislike for Frei grows as his unparalleled selfishness was demonstrated yesterday when he tried to force the ball home a la Heidar Helguson when he could have just let it run by and onto the head of Djorou.

    Bit of a shame that my thread got merged with another, I had wanted this thread only to be named "Worst game so far" so it could be added to throughout the tournament.

    Although to be honest, there can hardly be another game worse than France-Swiss!!

    Switzerland are the luckiest international side in Europe, and they don't even have to qualify for the next tournament, but their match with France was better than some of the others I've seen. How about Tunisia-Saudi, England-Paraguay, or Angola-Portugal?? All worse than the Swiss game, imo.

    Doesn't have the same excitement as 4 years ago, as all the big teams have won so far bar France, but France had the most difficult game.
