0-0!!!
Who would have predicted Switzerland's performance in this World Cup? They stuffed Spain's offense for 90 minutes and then scored on them! But they couldn't stuff Chile or score on them. And then, when they needed a win and were playing maybe the worst team in the tournament, they couldn't perform! In fact, Honduras had the better of the chances and if they had any sort of scoring ability, Switzerland would have gone it in even greater embarrassment. Switzerland added itself to the list of teams that lacked the nerve to win. I'm talking about teams like France, Nigeria, Serbia, Denmark, Italy, teams that are going home not because they didn't have the ability to do well but because they didn't have the heart. So far, I've seen two teams with heart: USA and Slovakia.
Before the game I was worried that three teams would finish with 6pts in Group H and Chile would lose out on goal differential, despite winning their first two games. But I shouldn't have been. When have the Swiss ever been real competitors? Chee-eese.
