    The Swiss have been so bad this half.

    Not surprising that Albania only had 7 goals out of 7 games in qualifying. Think they ended up with less shots than Gibraltar during qualifying too (though that was after playing 3 less games).

    Gutted for Albania. They really should have got a point there.

    Both them and Romania very unlucky not to take a draw from their games.

    Some really poor finishing from Albania, you just cant miss those chances.

    The Romania-Albania game could be a cracker.... both could be on 2 defeats by then and desperate for a win.

    I thought this was going to be shocker of a game. Fair play to Albania down to 10 men and giving it a go. They really deserved a draw.

    You wonder how Albania may have done with 11 men for the 90 minutes.

    Here's Mother Xhaka watching it:

    If you dont take the chances when they come your way, you will always be punished for it

    Watching on the player, and when it goes to the ad break there is complete silence for the two / three minutes while they are off air. Wouldnt you think they would just put advertising images or something for the few minutes, I mean what an absolute waste...

    Enjoying Duffer on the TV, he's a great addition to the panel. A much better addition to the panel than Kenny Cunningham, at this particular moment in time.

    And Giles asked somebody once "Who was the holding midfielder, me or Billy Bremner?".. No doubt the responses was "Ye were both thugs". :D

    Jaysus, he called Peter "Bill" there.
