Anyway, I don't like them much, and they got plenty of favours from the referees last time anyway, so I won't shed a tear.

Switzerland finishing on top means we have the worst second round match by far between them and Ukraine, with the winner facing Italy or Australia. Nice draw for us, if we get through.
Play to the whistle. Second thing all kids are taught after "if in doubt, put it out".

Draw has opened up for Oz tho. If you can wrestle a result out of Italy you do have a very sporting chance of a semi. I was rooting for you to qualify, but a semi spot might severely test my new found love...
