Another cracker between Serbia and Switzerland.

Presumably all the neutrals will be supporting Switzerland.

Ntcham takes the field against Brazil. Go on, YJB!

First Swans player to face Brazil since Big Roger.

Ntcham has done really well so far… he’s too good for the championship

Wouldn’t Montero have faced Brazil for Ecuador whilst with us?

 

[Pegojack]

Cameroon take the lead in injury time, Ntcham involved in the build up.

Pleased for Olivia, thought he played well when he came on. Shame it wasn't enough to get through.

 

[Pegojack]

At least Hennessy isn't going to be the only red card of the tournament.
The Cameroon scorer had already been booked, and got his second yellow for taking his shirt off to celebrate!

I've been saying it for a while. Ntcham is only at his best in a team playing fast, positive football and is hopeless in a team playing at a snail's pace. This is why he's ineffective as a starter for us because we nearly always start with our usual trademark pedestrian negativity but go a goal behind and bring him on when we've upped the tempo to chase the game with 20 to go and he looks like a world beater and our most likely scorer. In a Martin side, we will never get the best out him consistently because we only play a style that suits him for 10-20 minutes in a game, and not even in every game. He must be as frustrated as we are watching him. Today he proved that againt a team several levels above what he faces in the Championship.

Can’t argue with any of that

I would. I think he would blow very hot and cold in any team and that’s why he has never made it to any bigger club or league.

USA starting this off spritely.

However it's 1 nil to the Dutch!
