[QUOTE="St Helens RLFC, post: 747"] England 3 - 0 Switzerland. Rooney 22, 75 Gerrard 78 Not as conclusive as the final score sounds. Whilst England did deserve to win, and in the end probably by three goals, the Swiss gave a very good account of themselves. They were hindered by the sending off of Bernt Haas on the hour. Don't think he can argue myself. He's a cheap short merchant, and got exactly what he deserved. Hated him since he cheated to get Dietmar Hamann sent off in a game when Liverpool played Sunderland in 2001, so I was pretty pleased to see him walking down the tunnel. We defended really well - never thought the Swiss looked like scoring, for all their pressure. We scored three really good goals - the third one in particular is the best goal of the tournament so far for sheer quality in the build up and the finish was no joke either. It sounds more convincing than it was, but when the second goal went in, our confidence returned. We now look reasonable for the quarters. I don't want the French to win tonight, but I do want the Croats to lose. [/QUOTE]
