Only if England draw with Chroatia and three teams have 4 points. If England win or lose, Swiss go through regardless of the margin of the victory.

Thus, Swiss can win 1:0 and qualify or win 3:0 and still fail. Bizzare

Oh, I didn't know about a certain rule, which would allow Switzerland to pass if they have as many points as France. Thanks for the clarification!

Now what would be truly weird: both France and England don't make it. Hmm, perish the thought! (I have nothing against France finishing third of the group though. *Smirks*)

Not that difficult.

I am sure that after watching both games Swiss discovered the secret how to beat France :

Never ever back pass to goallie !!

23 minutes, still 0-0 (Sweden - Italy)

And I now only have 12 hours left on this workpass and then 4 weeks of vacation, oh summer is great!

Obviously England's group is the only one of importance... But still, what an excellent game!

Ibrahimovitch? Nah, can't be that easy...
