Switzerland 4–1 Bosnia, Qatar decider awaits
Switzerland 4–1 Bosnia-Herzegovina
That one hurts. Your team fell apart after Tarik Muharemovic got a red card and Switzerland ran in four on Thursday in Los Angeles (2) (3). Breel Embolo, Johan Manzambi with two, and Ruben Vargas all scored (2) (4). Sergej Barbarez did not sugarcoat it afterwards. "I don't like self-pity and entered the dressing room and told them they have one hour to cheer up, to lift their heads up," he said (2).
You sit on one point after two games. The Canada draw feels a long way back now.
Qatar on 24 June, win or go home
The final group match is locked in. Bosnia-Herzegovina face Qatar on 24 June at 21:00 (1). Group B is tight, Switzerland also drew their opener against Qatar, but you need three points and probably help elsewhere to reach the knockout rounds.
Xhaka's celebration stirs it up
Granit Xhaka made a "blah-blah" gesture during the Switzerland win and did not apologise. "They know why I did it," he said afterwards (4). No love lost there.
Manzambi on Villa's radar
The man who scored twice against you, Johan Manzambi, is now being linked to Aston Villa. Freiburg's 20-year-old is seen as a possible replacement if Morgan Rogers leaves (3). Unai Emery is watching.
