Looks like even the BBC have got bored interviewing England players as once again they just preview the game at hand. What an innovation, it’ll never catch on. One of the hardest games to predict, two evenly matched European sides. A draw probably most people’s guess.
Except that Serbia scored through Mitrovic in the first five minutes, sparking a goal-fest. Not really, but a decent half ensued.
Half time ended the England-free zone with Trippier trotted out again. Yawn.
The draw was back on the cards early in the second period as Xhaka fired in a long-range strike. Shaqiri almost went one better with a brilliant effort from the edge of the box which nicked off the bar, but with seconds left he broke free from the halfway line, held off a challenge and calmly finished to make it 2-1.
A very entertaining game, with both sides going for the win, it was never going to end in a draw was it?
Serbia now have to beat Brazil to progress, the Swiss just need a point against already-eliminated Costa Rica to be sure.
