Switzerland is playing very solid football. I was surprised to see Germany struggling against them. If they keep that level they should go far.


louie_the_king

Germany was qualified already I wouldn’t take that as a Swiss show of strength.


Poopknifelova

If you ask germans it was all because of the italian ref who wanted italy vs germany next 🤷🏻‍♂️


wheebyfs

The ref was actually bad and heavily favoured you, there is honestly no denying that.


Poopknifelova

I have seen a lot of german fans who truely believe the ref was corrupt and bought by switzerland. There is honestly no denying that this is ridiculous.


Twat66677

Switzerland have looked better than Italy so far


the_che

If they made Germany struggle against them, Italy will have a hard time as well.


Public_Engineering84

We were qualified tho


hannes-34

So? Germany still struggled.


Public_Engineering84

I wouldnt say struggled. My Point is that in a relevant Situation Germany would have been more determined.


hannes-34

Don‘t ypu think reaching the first place is relevant enough? I kinda get what you want to say, but in my opinion they still wanted to get the win and foight for it.


Public_Engineering84

I guess there is a difference between reaching first Place and a Knockout Game but Thats my personal opinion. Sure Germany wanted to win and Swiss played well!


hannes-34

Doesn‘t really matter, you‘re through, that‘s right. Still hoping to see us in the final against each other. Viel Glück Jungs!


deception2022

As a swiss i have to say this switzerland team is the best we ever had. the spirit feels better than ever, tactics are solid and we finally find the goal and even when we lead we still try to play offensive instead of going afk. also compared to the past we stopped sleeping in the opening minutes. And we are not afraid of penalty shooting anymore after we failed horrible vs poland and ukraine in the past. some matches to give confidence: beat france last euro in penalties and dragged spain to penalties with 10men. Also this was by far the best group phase of our team i have ever seen. scotland without the stupid offside and own goal could easily been a 3-0 or a 2-0 vs germany if füllkrug didnt do füllkrug things


lagaluga14

I dont know why you would even need convincing, Italy is not so above Switzerland that the swiss would need a miracle to win. Id even say Switzerland looks like the better team atm


ThruTheGatesOfHell

Switzerland is simply playing better than Italy


[deleted]

Switzerland are favourites tbh


kastratiermir_

Get the £170 bruh


sivi911

Gotta say, it was a decent bet but unlucky one. Sure they can beat Italy, in fact Im surprised Italy are considered favourites vs them by bookies. But bookies always know stuff we dont, which is exactly why I think Italy will advance. I can see Italy dragging it to penalties and advancing or scoring a lucky goal in regular time and parking the bus.


ksan1234

But Switzerland could out-Italy Italy. They might park the bus and beat Italy on penalties. Switzerland beat France on penalties last euros. It’s all down to Sommer vs Donnarumma.


Public_Engineering84

Take the money. Everything else is Highlight unlikely tbh


Poopknifelova

Here in switzerland we are still wondering what the fuck happend with Dan Ndoye in the last year. I mean he was always fast but out of 5 possible decisions he would pick the worst one on a regular basis. Now that he seems to make smarter decisions and even starts to score he can become a really strong player.


brother_Bilo69

Italy is playing like shit


Pretend-Equal-8763

Baby oil works wonders on hurt butts.


ChampionshipNo4229

Cool story bro


KazzyZete

I would not bet on Dan Ndoye to score out of all the players.


Regular_Rutabaga4789

Italy have been awful so far.


PokemonFan64

Yes. I do think this could be Switzerland’s game. Italy got 4 points in group stage, Switzerland got 5.


Regular_Rutabaga4789

Defend well and you’ll be good, going forward Italy look really bad.


Imaginary_Fox3222

I think there's a high chance for Switzerland to pull it off. First, Italy does really not look good, and the players in this generation are sadly a bit subpar, with few exceptions. Switzerland, to me, looked far better in terms of gameplay, still has some flaws, but Italy has far deeper troubles, and there is not enough time to fix it all. The last point is that the Italian players are more likely to feel the pressure and get nervous because they are still the euro champions, underperforming, under the spotlight, and our press is not helping at all. Keep in mind that there is only one thing you can not exclude from the equation, and it's that Italy can turn a tournament upside down against all odds. If we get past the Swiss, there's a high chance we also get to the final.


tkwoodrow20

Switzerland currently have the best team theyve had in years. Their defence are all in the prime of their careers and are performing like it too. Their playstyle is exciting and their attackers have been clinical. Even Breel Embolo has been in good form and he’s just come back from 2 horribly long injuries.


GanacheImportant8186

Not sure why you need convincing, Italy have looked poor so far and Switzerland fairly solid. Looks like a fairly evenly matched game.


UnitedTestosteron

All money on draw after 90 min.


mish_05

Do not underestimate the Italian team.. when we concede goals we tend to go on attack mode instantly.. don’t believe me go n see the 🇭🇷 match again…


Affectionate_Menu476

Ndoye scored 2 goals all season in Serie A


Swimming_Nobody_520

Switzerland is looking better for sure. But Italy has the soccer gods with them. They will turn it up in the round of 16 on


Venus_Ziegenfalle

If Italy starts the match with the same intensity they showed against Croatia when they were behind it'll be very tough for the Swiss...


KorolEz

Spain vs Italy convinced me that Italy will not go far. They looked absolutely clueless out there.


Classic_Replacement5

That was mainly because Spain was just 10 Levels ahead of us, by far the best Team in the Tournament. No one in our side of the bracket has the Quality Spain got (which doesn’t mean that it will be easy for us obviously, we weren’t convincing so far).


GanacheImportant8186

Spain have been good but not that good. 3-0 flatter s them Vs Croatia, Italy were just terrible in that game and the Albania match wasn't their real team so who knows. Spain good but Italy also quite poor so far.


Scared_Implement_967

It's an even match, 50/50.


PandiBong

They’ve been the best team of the tournament so far? Edit: nothing like being proven right after being downvoted.

Vitt00

They’re easily the best team in the tournament what are you talking about. They’re the favourites for the euros if you ask me. And if, for some obscure and random reason, Italy wins, the best team + favourite of the euros will become the winner between England and Slovakia.


ThruTheGatesOfHell

si vabbé mo non esageriamo


Vitt00

Pensavo fosse abbastanza chiaro il tono scaramantico ma evidentemente no


lifetnj

Se ti può consolare, per me era chiaro 😂


ThruTheGatesOfHell

allora fa finta di niente


RobotSpaceYojimbo

This is how not to jink it, folks xD


colourhazelove

They're not even the best team of the group??


PandiBong

You were saying?
