Nope im watching it as well, quite a good goal by the Swiss and seems to be a pretty open game so far.

Senderos is playing like absolute **** today...4-5 times hes messed up badly but luckily it didnt amount to anything.
Swiss are 1-0 up but my god their fullbacks cannot hold the ball or get any decent passes together. Togo if anything looked more likely to score just before the halftime whistle. Adebayor is playing out of his skin, luckily for togo that their player didnt get sent off for that atrocious tackle.

So far a very entertaining game tbh, swiss cant hang onto the ball and Togo cant score lol:p

Why is it that when a team goes one up they sit back and allow the other team to score, enough times this has happened in WC..worst culprits are the Italians when playing against USA and France as well yesterday...they just seem to like giving the ball away and giving the other team a chance to score.
Not that i mind as it makes the game a lot more interesting but seems like France and Italy dont have the killer touch to put the game out of reach against weaker opponents.

Think England are the worst for this. Especially more recently.

Yes i forgot about them :o Although i wouldnt call them the worst culprits...think that honour really does go to France...played 2 games and got 2 draws out of them.
At least England have won their 2 games rather than drawing them.
 
Hehe heres a funny quote that i just saw posted on betfair.

Thierry Henry insists France can qualify for the knockout rounds of the World Cup even without Zinedine Zidane.

The French skipper is suspended for Les Bleus' last group match against Togo on Friday, but that could prove a blessing in disguise for his under-performing side.

Henry said: "We did it in 1998 without Zidane - he didn't play against Denmark or Paraguay; no one remembers that but he didn't play in those games. I'm still confident we are going to go through. It should be the easiest game of the group against Togo and we are going to try to take advantage of that."

Hmmm do they really think it will be that easy a game??, the way they been playing hardly inspires any confidence from me personally. Mind you not having Zidane could possibly be a blessing in disguise as he hasnt really done much, other than a few flashes of brilliance. Saying that though Henry hasnt really done much himself, other than getting a goal in the last match and completely fluffing a golden opportunity from Zidane.
I guess its french arrogance that is showing, i do hope Togo beat them or get a draw out their match. Just to bring the french back down to earth. If i was in charge of the french team, i sure as hell wouldnt get arrogant or cocky about beating Togo and classing it as an easy game. Thats quite a dangerous attitude to have, especially as there have been some pretty close and tough matches that have been played in the WC.

Any other opinions or should i don my flame proof jacket??:p
