    Switzerland isn't a country you can get passionate about
    A thousand years of peace and what do they give us?  The cuckoo clock.

    I guess Spain are the big winners from yesterday, play Switzerland in the quarters, hope Belgium and Italy tear each other to pieces in the other and play whatever’s left of the winner in the semis.

    Switzerland have fucked this up massively 
    Did they say he'd missed his last 2 pens?  Why give him this one?!
    So they can now say he's missed his last three.

    Class goal from Pogba, looks so much better playing for France than he does for Man U
    Because he's got better players around him when he plays for France?

    This tournament has been shit……
    Was just about to type this. How can any football fan not be completely loving this?
    Ms AA isn't a football fan, it runs watching people pick up dog mess in the park a close second as her least interesting spectator experience, but she really got into this game from the third Swiss goal.  Even insisted on watching the penalties.

    TWO games in a day where a team 3-1 down has scored 2 late goals to equalise. That’s ridiculous 
    I know we did it once against Notts County away, it's possible we did it two seasons on the trot.

    F***ING arrogant prick Pogba folding his arms after his goal then doing his silly dancing. Two goals from the Swiss shoved that back in his face - heroes the lot of them for being brave and exposing France's weaknesses - heroes to me whatever happens next.
    Shades of Pardew.

    How pundits and fans judge penalties these days is mental isn't it? A players can tap it 5mph, slightly left-of-centre and if the keeper goes the wrong way, it's a "good penalty" and he "never looked in doubt."

    You can also hit it hard and in the corner, but if the keeper guesses correctly and saves it, it's "not a good penalty" and he "always looked nervous."

    I swear penalty taking in shoot-outs is getting much better.
    We saw Brizzle - Grimsby play-off final a few years back, football was awful, penalties were worldies.

    The quality of penalties is sky high at the moment. Means that if a decent pen is saved after 10 perfect ones have been scored then the decent pen will be judged as a bad one.

    Mbappe's one was a better penalty than the one Lloris almost/should have saved, it was a good save by Sommer.

    It wasn't a bad penalty, but it wasn't a good one either as it wasn't right in the corner and it was at the "saveable" height unlike those drilled along the ground, or hit into the roof of the net like Pogba's

    From memory, similar to Schwartz's

    No saved penalty can be classed a good one.

    But if the keeper guesses the wrong way, those get called good penalties

    I like the mind games when they do a bit of a Taylor (spit) and play cat and mouse with the keeper and bang back of the net before keeper can react

    Our 5 pens against Germany in Euro '96 were very, very good.
    It's just that the bloody Germans matched them.
    Then up stepped Gareth, who hadn't taken a penalty in his life, all because more senior pro's bottled it (yeh, I'm looking at you "Guvnor")
    Even then the German's still had to score theirs, but Andreas Moeller stepped up with supreme confidence and smashed it.
    Quite honestly I'd be much more worried about our first five takers tonight than in '96.
    Let's beat them in normal time.

    Depends who is on the pitch, but a good few of the players involved have won a penalty shootout with England

    Kane, Rashford and Trippier all scored against Colombia whilst Henderson missed
    Maguire, Sterling, Sancho and Pickford all scored against Switzerland

    Barkley and Dier also scored in those shootouts but of course arent in the squad

    I know we need to get there, but our list of penalty takers and people who take set pieces regularly , i'd have every faith if we get to that stage.

    My comment probably says more about my natural pessimism than the quality of our takers  :p
    At least keep Henderson well out of the way.
    I definitely don't fancy the stress of a penalty shoot-out

    I suppose the flipside of my thinking is that if we beat them on penalties it finally lays that ghost to rest
