duenni Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hello everyone As some might know, the Euro Championship is currently held in Austria and Switzerland this month! The Swiss team has just lost to Turkey 1-2 and is eliminated. This is a sad day for all Swiss Soccer fans. I just had to vent. Thanks.

Fergasun Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Well didn't your best player get hurt? I remember Frei giving South Korea fits during the last World Cup... so that was a big loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSkins Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I didn't think the Swiss competed at anything. Don't all their scores end in a tie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that was a big big blow and the other two strikers we had on the team weren't 100% either :doh: . Beeing the first team to be eliminated from contention in the turnament which is held in your own country is a damn hard pill to swallow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartacus87 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 One of my roommates is 100% Turkish, so he was going nuts. Both of those Turkish goals were pretty impressive, especially the header. I think Turkey could've actually scored more- they were playing such a finesse and conservative style for so long, they'd get on fast breaks and try to set up goals like their first one and keep passing the ball away or drilling it out of bounds or something until they finally just started ripping on it and taking shots, which is how they ended up scoring up that second goal.

If the swiss team would have taken advantage of the two 100% chances they had, they would have won 3-2 but that is the usual problem with any swiss team regardless of sport!!! They just need too many chances to score a goal. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcnativenerd Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Wow....there are Swiss Redskins fans?! SWEET! Anyway, sorry about your ball club. If it'll make you feel any better, the US team probably won't fair too well in the upcoming World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveakl Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 BS call on the offsides in the second against the Swiss. Could have but them up 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I was in Switzerland in 1985. I always said if there was another country I'd want to live in, it would be Switzerland. I was in Zurich, Lucerne and Berne. Very beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
