The OP Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I plan to honour the spirit of the work sweepstake by treating Switzerland like my homeland and getting pished and hugely over-optimistic about their chances of beating Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't make a noise or your Swiss compatriots will phone the polis to report you. 'Mon the chocolate/watch makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Going for Brazil in this one but in the food stakes both countries are close. As much as I love raclette and other Swiss cheeses, Brazilian Barbecue is excellent, and the Caiprina is an excellent summer drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Given how well my forecasts have been going, I'm not putting one up here. However, if Brazil really are winning 2-1 as we go into time added on, I'll maybe relent. #bottomoftheofficesweep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I'll be watching on an old CRT TV with an aerial to set the scene for a 1970-esque Brazil performance. Brazilian BBQ >>> Swiss cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 If the Swiss are to have any hope it will be down to how well Lichtsteiner and Rodriguez defend rather than get forward. The 2 centre halves and defensive mids are decent enough but there isn’t a great deal of pace there and anything played round the side could cause problems if the full backs are too far forward. Would expect Brazil to win by 2 or 3 and the aforementioned Lichtsteiner to get booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One team (not the Swiss) will take advantage of that at some point.Switzerland's best hope is to do what the Dutch tried to do to Spain - kick them off the park.
