Germany vs. Switzerland
--------------------------------

My prediction: 4-3 Switzerland

should be a close game. i hope germany extends ist streak to 4 (?) WC quarterfinals:

2:2

Should tight interesting game. I think Germany will go out on top again 3-2.

3-1 Switzerland. We finally gotta solve those Germans. In the preparation, our Swiss B-squad won against them, so why not finally do it when they should?

bad feelings for today. 4-2 switzerland is my prediction, but nevertheless i want germany to win.

Even first Period with slight advantages to Germany. If we only could make use off our chances for one.

What are the refs doing. Ridiculus, some of those penalties are given in no league, did not see any foul on our breakaway.
:dunno:

At least the whistle the same crap on both sides. If they officiate an NHL game I think the players would end up fighting the ref. :lol:

Our Powerplay is just a joke, maybe this time.

That has typically been our problem this tournament (except against France, but that does not really count).

Germany is playing better...

1-0 Swiss


What are you doing Mr Reichel.
:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Poor goal. WTF was Reichel thinking???

My live ticker is showing me sweet news :)

Tha same mistake every game...
You can't play around right in front of your own goal, this is at least the fourth goal they let in this way.

How many chances do they need?
They should lead by at least two goals right now.

Awful game from Germany so far. Horrible PP, not a single really dangerous shot on EV, they seem to be outworked by the Swiss... :thumbd:

Our commentator is right: "Now the Swiss is playing more german than the germans".

To be honest, this would be about time. Games against Germany have always been the other way round in the last few years. However, I only believe it when it's done... Well, I'll see in about two hours (won't have access to any results anymore in the meantime).

What a poor PP... :shakehead

Game is over.

Congrats Switzerland. Was the tight hard fought game expected. The Swiss used the present from Mister Reichel, while we did not manage to beat Gerber.
:banghead:

Congrats Switzerland!

Not much dangerous scoring chances on both sides, but, as EHCler said, a nice present from Martin Reichel...

It's pretty sad, if only three players (Hecht, Lewandowski, Benda) are dangerous in front of the net.

I don't care how we do that, but we need way more offense and a defense that can actually do their job...

Marco Sturm needs to be traded... To a non play-off team. :D

the sharks just have to stay out of the play-offs like they did in former times. it's easier than trading sturm, goc, ehrhoff, paetzold to non play-off teams. :)

and congratulations switzerland. it was about time to defeat germany, you deserve this win. but please don't even think about winning against slovakia, cause i want to see germany at the olympics. ;)

Or just one that loses early, he'll be a welcomed Sens player any day!
