The world is amazed by the Euro! The Swiss are the heroes!

The football world is amazed at the sensational match France played against Switzerland! What are the reactions from the most authoritative experts? Personally, I feel sorry for anyone who missed this match, what a piece of action drama from American Hollywood.

Drama and more drama! The outsiders from Switzerland were leading at half time, deservedly 1-0. Then came the key moment, Rodriguez (Switzerland) could have dealt France a huge blow and sent the Swiss into a two goal lead! But his penalty was defused by the fantastic Hugo Lloris.

Then France came back and with two unassisted goals from Benzema turned the match to 2-1, which took Didier Deschamps’ charges only 4 minutes from the missed penalty!

In the 75th minute Paul Pogba almost decided the victory of the favourite with an incredible bomb. France were 3-1 up and heading for promotion! But again!

Swiss hero Seferovic reduced the score to 2: 3 in the 81st minute and the shock came in the 90th minute! The substitute Gavranovic equalised at 3: 3! Five seconds before the end of the match, France was reaching for victory again, but Coman’s shot ended up on the crossbar of the Swiss goal.

No goal was scored in extra time, and Switzerland’s sensational advance was decided by a penalty shootout. The unlucky Mbappé was the star of the moment, who was saved by goalkeeper Sommer in the last series.

Reactions from home and abroad

This match also thrilled Jaroslav Tvrdík, the Slavs’ boss. “This is no longer classical football, this is art. It’s an unbelievable parade.”

Czech TV editor Pavel Jahoda notes an interesting fact about the so-called death group. “Well the death squad turned out to be deadly for a slightly different reason than expected. Portugal and France both finished in the eighth round. So let’s see what Tuesday’s last chance does to that “efka” Germans.”

Of the foreign experts, the legendary Gary Lineker was watching the match and couldn’t believe his eyes. “What kind of game was that? What kind of tournament is this? What kind of game day was that? Unbelievable Sommer,” he summed up the game day, where the two games ended 3:3 in regulation time

Czech Twitter page Sportovní Hlášky noticed that Man of the Match Granit Xhaka drank Coca-Cola before the penalty shootout. She subsequently goaded star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Football scout Jacek Kulig, who is followed by almost 160,000 users on Twitter, didn’t hesitate to name this year’s European Championship as the best Euro ever!

“I’m old, very old, but I can’t remember a tournament that compares to this one. This is FOOTBALL!”
