The Swiss used to be similar but been involved in some good games in recent tournaments Switzerland being crap at tournaments has been a myth since about 2014 onwards. Generally have some entertaining high scoring games and at least one Shaqiri wonder goal in them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 they were pretty horrible to watch in 2010, yes. But I agree that they haven't been since 2014. They are more akin to the Belgium teams in the 80's than the old Switzerland teams. Not as talented as that Belgium team, but more organized, and they can play some really entertaining stuff.

toon25 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Some absolute dross on show in many of the games so far. Can't say I've found any that were particularly compelling apart from the last 45 in the USA-Wales game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept thinking that calling Poland a smaller footballing nation wasn’t right but meant that they are nowhere near the level of the European footballing giants (France, Germany, England, Italy, Holland etc.) Was just in Poland for the past weekend and most people I talked with said the squad is alright but manager is really negative.

Dandy Man Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 It's ironic because Poland have got a relative wealth of decent strikers who play or have played at top clubs in Europe: Lewa, Zielinski, Milik, Piatek. But they play such negative limiting football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridman Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) Not much surprising about that game to be honest, apart from us (Poland) not conceding. Was always going to be a 50/50 game. A few class players but the rest is absolutely dross, I mean our best CB is a 34 year old playing for a team 16th in Serie B in Italy and there isn't a single serviceable winger in the whole squad. 34 year old Kamil Grosicki got in the 23 man group ffs. The team just isn't better than this, good enough to qualify but never good enough to do much else. We usually beat the teams we "should" beat and fall apart when up against proper teams. Think we'll beat Saudi Arabia and probably get trashed by Argentina, the group could be decided on goal difference. But hard to say as neither us or Mexico looked particularly good.

buzza Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I actually thought mwxico dominated and played some nice football. Chucky the 22 for mexico was outstanding. Goalie made a cracker of a save for the penalty. Even though there were no goals I enjoyed the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
