They took off Frei just before the end, didn't they? He's their best scorer.

If he had been left on then the Swiss would have scored at least 1 out of the 5.

I didn't expect France to win either. When I saw that Spain had socred from a penalty I was thinking "there we go. Au revoir froggies", but no.

So, QUarter-final matches:

30/06/06 Germany v Argentina
30/06/06 Italy v Ukraine
01/07/06 England v Portugal
01/07/06 Brazil v France

Methinks that the winners there will be Argentina (just about - pennie shootout, maybe), Italy (again, a close call), England (maybe I'm just too patriotic ) and Brazil (sure, they're not firing on all cylinders yet, but they will be when they come up against a real opponent like France).

What do you think?
