Ronaldo was largely a passenger until he missed two chances second half. That's the funny thing, he should have been banned for the first two games anyway, and I'd think it might have even helped them if he had been. But, the ban was reduced coincidentally shortly after the Whitehouse do.
Don't know if it's just bias from them turning one of the Euro's into a farce with their diving and histrionics. But watching them yesterday, they're still one of the worst for it. Rat face must get injured 3 or 4 times per game, and starts raging at the referee.

They are a very unlikeable team and have been for years. They've got fantastically talented players but a fair number of them seem to be dicks.

Ndoye starts again for Switzerland. Hope he finds his shooting boots today.

When was the last time a Forest player scored in a World Cup? I know van Hooijdonk did in 1998 but I can't think of any since then.

Chris Wood?
Prior to this world cup you may be correct with PVH.
On evidence so far Ndoye isn’t breaking that run tonight.

Don't remember that at all!
And yes, as with the first game Ndoye has got into some good positions but been wasteful.

I really hope we can get something back for him because he really is not very good.

This Swiss team looks so pedestrian, I don’t know if it’s coincidental but both Ndoye and Freuler before him play like they’re running in treacle before laying off a sideways pass. Very little cutting edge.

Everyone raving about the stadia and this one in LA does look like a spaceship but cant help feeling half the crowd may as well be in outer space they are that far from the pitch.

I just came on here to say the exact same thing. He's poor isn't he?
