So it was very hard not to laugh at Scott Carson's complete disaster yesterday evening but the resulting abject performance was met with sadness here in Switzerland. The free newspapers such as 20 Minuten and .ch both said the tournament will miss the team and the fan invasion (gone are the days when countries actually fear the "hooligan" element) though it will make policing the city much easier. A big cheer went up in the pub (MacGuinesses') when the 3rd Croatian goal went in but NOT because the Swiss were pleased for Croatia (or Russia even) but for the scorer Petric (an ex-FC Basel PLAYER). I just hope the lack of England won't affect my Euro 2008 volunteering prospects.
