2345: Mr Jolly
First time I have watched a game and wanted both teams to loose. That was dire.

2232: Armchairfan
The penalties are as bad of the match - reminds me of Barcelona v Steau bucharest Euro Cup final. At last - and a touch of class to boot.

2224: Xenosys2005
And here's me thinking England were boring. Switzerland and the Ukraine have to be the most negative teams ive ever seen in any competition. Ghana or Brazil would tear these teams apart.

2214: Guernsey Poley
If things don't start improving I might have to start watching Big Brother.....now that's desperate!

2154: Old Man jeeves
I shudder to think about Italy Vs Swiss/Ukraine match in quarters. That game would be a snooze-fest and has the potential to be the most boring quarter finals in the annals of the world cup.

I hope that match is not scheduled on a weekend - it will totally spoil the weekend for me! 2154: MattSter
I'm almost beginning to hope for some bad refereeing decisions and a flourish of red and yellow cards. At least it would give us something to talk about.

2115: Rachael by text
I'd rather read the dictionary than watch this. It's so boring! There's nothing good happening.

2115: Electric Fishcake
Has the match started? It will burst into life soon, this one is too much like chess! Come on, we need one piece of brilliance to liven it up.

2046: MR
Clean sheets in this first half. A drought of goals and also of cards. Its going to take a lot more to open up this game in the second half. Ukraine might just clinch a spot in the next round.

2045: Mickeyrails
30 minutes of clean football. Its refreshing not to have seen a card in this game yet. Thats what fair play is all about. Yet its equaly disappointing not to have seen a goal. Balanced game at 50-50 possession so far.

2043: Guernsey Poley
The games slowed down again. There definitely seems to be a lack of overall class in the two sides.

2023: Totally spotless
Somehow I feel Italy will have a hard time with Switzerland if they come through. They drew in friendlies before the WC which obviously means not too much now but Italy would be too big of a favourite and Switzerland might just be the new 'Greece'.

2002: HonestGriff
I think the Swiss will have enought to nullify Ukraine, who have only performed against Saudi Arabia. Senderos will be a huge miss for the Swiss(as for him being defender of the tournament, the words 'Rafael' and 'Marquez' of 'Fabio' and 'Cannavaro' spring to mind!!!), but I feel that ,Shevchenko aside, that Ukraine don't offer much of a threat.

Prediction: Switzerland 1 (Frei) v Ukraine 0

1947: TheCrippler
Keep Shevchenko quiet and Swiss will win. They will miss Senderos though who has been by far and away the best defender in the tournament.

1931: factsnotfiction
The Swiss have looked good from set pieces but I'm going for the ref to ruin this one too.

1934: Armchairpro
Wasn't the the ref the one from one of England's games, Paraguay I think? If so he was pretty poor.
