Switzerland 0-0 Ukraine

I'm really struggling to come up with the words to describe this shambles. I'll try again in the morning.

Blog Goliard said...: I am so, so, so very glad I did not attempt to watch this one live.

When zipping through at quadruple-speed on the TiVo, it actually rose to the level of "mildly interesting here and there". This viewing technique saved my sanity in Ukraine's last outing; and you can bet I'll start late and have the fast-forward button ready the next--and, please God, last--time I see their distractingly gaudy Lotto logos too.

It figures that this one would have drawn a sane ref. Of all games that could have used some sendings-off and wacky decisions to open up the field and liven up proceedings, this was near the head of the list.; 4:18 am
