I know there is the world cup thread but this is some game, there's 30mins left and hope it makes someone watch, prob be shit now but has been great for an hour.
Would of been a travesty if Switzerland didn't qualify. They won 90% of their group games and are a better side than Northern Ireland.
Other than Portugal they had a piss easy Group though...
Northern Ireland waltzed to second with Germany / Czech Republic / Norway who really are all better sides than the Northern Irish
In addition the Swiss have only played one friendly in two years which has protected their FIFA Ranking thus ensuring they didnt drop down the rankings and so put their Play-Off seeding at risk

Northern Ireland were cheated by the ref last week, but as Weegie says, the HQ of FIFA is in Switzerland.

In fairness, he said, fully expecting the Republic to fall short as well, there's possibly a decent team between the two.
