Switzerland x Croatia (Group B, 13 June)

The first match between two teams that aren't favourites.. i think Croatia is more likely to win. Knowing that the other teams in the group are some of the strongest in competition, I'd say whoever doesn't win this game stays with very small chances of getting through to the quarter-finals.

I don't know much about either side. My prediction is Switzerland 1 - 2 Croatia.

Everyone considers group D the most competitive, but I think this could be the most interesting group if Croatia beat Switzerland.

Me being halfcroatian will support them today.

2-0 victory Prso & Olic will score. They�re really great goalscorers

could be a very nice match, 2 teams who are in no means favorite for proceeding to the qaurter-final

Switzerland-Croatia: 0-1

If the Switz can keep half their form from qualifying, I'd say they could pull out a tie. They looked impressive in qualifying and most of their teams played like Croatia.

Prediction even still: Croatia 2-0 Switz

come on croatia! 15 mins to go

Posted by T4M on Jun-13-2004 15:50:

mhm difficult to say, who will winning, but i believe croatia will do. Switzerland was very bad against the germans last time.

3:1 Croatia

bah the first half was very boring. croatia seemed to play better in the last few mins but they never really impressed. it's kinda being funny to see olic trying and trying and trying and never getting past the right back

0-0 FT

awful game, the croatians were very disappointing, not even against 10 men they could create real goal chances. the swiss showed some effort but lacked quality. i don't have any doubts about this group anymore, france and england to go through.

Boring game

Even a man down, I thought the Swiss were unlucky not to get 3 points. Very disappointing, Croatia

credit should be given to stiel (swiss keeper) for the best moment of the game.. if that entered the net it would be one of the most hilarious goals ever

Haha.. He was my favorite too! What a star!

This game was terrible, but a perfect buildup to the England - France game. The class difference between the best two teams and the the other two in this group is huge.

Stiel was probably the only guy on the field who made this game worth watching. The rest was a non-stop horror show of holding, flying elbows, appauling tackles, diving, yellow/red cards (first booking after 6 minutes? Hello??) and shattered gameplay. Hope the teams sort themselves out for the upcoming matches, otherwise they'll get their asses handed to them by France and England.

A terrible game with a hilarious moment. Poor, very poor...

I know i know, i was disappointed too.

thank god i didn't watch it , i was watching the Montreal F1 Grand Prix

The Swiss (my people btw!) played better than I feared, to bad they had to play nearly all of the second half with only 10 players. But Croatia disappointed me, besides the last 10 minutes you couldn't see they where the team with one player more. But of course the France vs. England game was on another level. I guess both of those team should qualify for the quarter finals, I predict Switzerland and Croatia will not score a point against England and France if they don't get a magic boost over night.

0-0 but what are you talking? that game wasn't boring.

f1 was more boring.
