:00:55. > :01:01.Good evening and Wellcome to coverage of Brazil 2014. It is all

:01:02. > :01:07.to play for as Group E reaches its conclusion. No dead rubbers. All of

:01:08. > :01:10.the teams are still in a shout of making the last 16. -- in with a

:01:11. > :01:17.shout. This is what has happened so far. For the first time ever,

:01:18. > :01:26.Switzerland and Ecuador stepped out side-by-side to get their World Cup

:01:27. > :01:32.under way. Looking to curl one game. Ecuador have the opening goal. What

:01:33. > :01:39.a thunderous header! He has scored again. Switzerland here. Maybe they

:01:40. > :01:47.have got a sucker punch. They have got a winner! At the very last. What

:01:48. > :01:57.can we hope for tonight? They have got runners in there. Is that a

:01:58. > :02:07.penalty? Oh, read. Goalline technology... They have a third.

:02:08. > :02:08.Switzerland and France with a win apiece going head-to-head in Group

:02:09. > :02:22.E. blink of an eye. Look at the space

:02:23. > :02:37.that they have got here now. Olivier Giroud rolling it in. Welcome to the

:02:38. > :02:48.party. They are having a ball. What about that? Another classic finish.

:02:49. > :02:55.Absolutely dancing here now. Carlos Costly. In sight of goal!

:02:56. > :03:06.Deflection. It is in. Honduras, one. Ecuador, one. The recovery is

:03:07. > :03:11.complete. It is in! It is a fascinating Group E fixture. The

:03:12. > :03:19.scene is set. These are pictures of the stadium. Luis Suarez is here.

:03:20. > :03:23.Not that one. The Honduras manager. And there is the manager of

:03:24. > :03:27.Switzerland. It could be his final game in charge after a very

:03:28. > :03:35.illustrious career. And that is the game here on BBC Three. On BBC One,

:03:36. > :03:38.you can see what is happening at the Maracana. France take on Ecuador in

:03:39. > :03:56.Rio. This is the table as it stands. All four teams could reach the last

:03:57. > :04:01.16. Defeat could see France through. 1.4 Switzerland and a win

:04:02. > :04:06.for France and they are in the last 16. Honduras can qualify but they

:04:07. > :04:12.must defeat the Swiss and hope the French hammer Ecuador.

:04:13. > :04:24.And with me, Wellcome to a feisty front two, Liam Dublin and John

:04:25. > :04:28.Hartson. This is well set up. You would think France would go on to

:04:29. > :04:31.win the group. It is a game that Honduras have to go and beat

:04:32. > :04:36.Switzerland. They cannot affect what happens with France and Ecuador. I

:04:37. > :04:42.have not been too impressed with Switzerland so far. They stumbled to

:04:43. > :04:47.victory in the first one to -1. They were hammered 5-2 against France.

:04:48. > :04:53.Honduras are struggling to score goals. Just one in two games. But it

:04:54. > :04:56.is a game that they can go and defeat Switzerland and put

:04:57. > :05:00.themselves back in the hunt. It is not a box office fixture on paper

:05:01. > :05:09.but so much is riding on it. It could be an exciting game. Conceding

:05:10. > :05:14.five goals, he has tried to make a bit of a tweak. The fullbacks like

:05:15. > :05:19.to get on with it. Rodriguez is one of the danger men. If they keep it

:05:20. > :05:23.tight, this will be an interesting game. They have only met each other

:05:24. > :05:30.once. That happened to be four years ago to this very day. They played

:05:31. > :05:33.each other in 2010 in South Africa. And back then it was a pretty dire

:05:34. > :05:40.goalless draw. Switzerland thoroughly frustrated back then buy,

:05:41. > :05:46.what can I say? A bit of disobedience. They have got an

:05:47. > :05:51.opportunity. They have only scored one goal. They are struggling to get

:05:52. > :06:00.goals. Costly is a handful. We will see a bit more from him. They have

:06:01. > :06:09.got players in the Premier League. Izaguirre is missing. Figaro plays

:06:10. > :06:12.for Hull. A lot of people watching will be familiar with the players.

:06:13. > :06:18.They will want to shore up the back after the last showing. If they get

:06:19. > :06:23.that bit right, the goals they have conceded, as we can see here, really

:06:24. > :06:27.poor goals. Nobody is taking responsibility. Look at the gap

:06:28. > :06:33.between full-back and centre half. And to get defeated on the near

:06:34. > :06:38.post, the centre halves, the partnership tonight, you have got to

:06:39. > :06:43.get to the ball. Look at that. Far too easy. They are a very good side.

:06:44. > :06:51.They have got some very good players. And they were destroyed by

:06:52. > :06:55.Benzema on the night. They have got to play against that kind of calibre

:06:56. > :07:02.of player. He has made a change. Look at this one here. That was far

:07:03. > :07:08.too easy. Really poor goals. They have conceded five. They are looking

:07:09. > :07:16.to tighten up in defence certainly. And one man will be hoping it is not

:07:17. > :07:19.his last game, the manager. He said himself that he would retire after

:07:20. > :07:27.this World Cup. But talking to Paul Lambert, a team-mate of mine, they

:07:28. > :07:32.said that he was his manager in 1996 when Paul Lambert won the European

:07:33. > :07:35.Cup with Borussia Dortmund. He could not speak highly enough of him.

:07:36. > :07:43.Magnificent manager. We can go live and talk to our commentator for the

:07:44. > :07:46.game, Steve. I know that he is probably dressed in his short

:07:47. > :07:51.sleeved shirt. Not that we are jealous in any way, shape or form.

:07:52. > :08:03.But when you talk about man-hours, you talk about humidity. Is it as

:08:04. > :08:10.humid as we have been led to believe? It certainly is, it is very

:08:11. > :08:14.close to the jungle. The good news is that the sunshine is not really

:08:15. > :08:19.piercing through. That is when it becomes unbearable I am told in

:08:20. > :08:25.these parts. The problem is the humidity. Currently had 88%. It will

:08:26. > :08:28.not be any consolation that we are naturally sweating in the commentary

:08:29. > :08:32.tradition and waiting for the teams to run around. It has not been much

:08:33. > :08:37.of a problem for the teams that have played here so far. That was the

:08:38. > :08:40.last game at the stadium. Controversially this stadium

:08:41. > :08:44.constructed for the World Cup final. An earlier start at four o'clock

:08:45. > :08:48.local time. It is catching your breath side and we walked earlier on

:08:49. > :08:53.and it will be, not a problem with the atmosphere. It is the last

:08:54. > :08:57.chance for the locals in the jungle to see a World Cup match in this

:08:58. > :09:00.tournament. Plenty of Swiss supporters here as well dreaming may

:09:01. > :09:06.be that they can get into the knockout stages for only the second

:09:07. > :09:12.time since 1994. Despite your bravest efforts it is still no

:09:13. > :09:19.consolation, I can tell you that X mark --! . Surely it will suit

:09:20. > :09:25.Honduras more? Yes, it will. They made that point with Luis Fernandez

:09:26. > :09:30.Suarez. As they have discussed, the problem that they have had is

:09:31. > :09:34.converting chances into goals. Switzerland, it was a one-off freak

:09:35. > :09:38.result. They were all over the place against France. They have aged their

:09:39. > :09:45.qualification on being tight at the back. -- based their qualification.

:09:46. > :09:49.They will look to get a foundation today after what he alluded to

:09:50. > :09:59.yesterday. Get back to basics. The central defender is missing, but

:10:00. > :10:03.that game you were alluding to, I had it wiped from my memory because

:10:04. > :10:09.I was in London team that night. One of the worst games I have ever seen.

:10:10. > :10:14.-- I was there on that night. I am hoping for a much more positive

:10:15. > :10:19.approach from the Swiss and a better game to watch as well. Thank you

:10:20. > :10:23.very much indeed. Kick-off in 20 minutes. At nine o'clock. All to

:10:24. > :10:28.play for in this group, especially as they now know exactly who they

:10:29. > :10:37.will be meeting in the next round. Group F was decided earlier today.

:10:38. > :10:46.It is a way. Some gaps for the Nigerian captain. Through to the

:10:47. > :10:52.near side. Off the post. Off the goalkeeper. Knocked on in the

:10:53. > :11:01.rebound. Argentina have the early lead. Who else? Lionel Messi. What a

:11:02. > :11:05.chance for Argentina. They surely could not have envisaged a start

:11:06. > :11:10.like this. Angel Di Maria would be shot. It has cannoned off the post

:11:11. > :11:15.not once but twice. Who is going to get there first? Lionel Messi. The

:11:16. > :11:21.worst possible beginning for Nigeria.

:11:22. > :11:32.In the middle. They have got an equaliser hex Mark --! He strikes

:11:33. > :11:38.back almost immediately for Nigeria. What is that old saying about being

:11:39. > :11:47.bumble when you have just scored. It has just been proved again. Lionel

:11:48. > :11:54.Messi. -- being vulnerable. Angel Di Maria. It has just been pushed wide.

:11:55. > :11:58.Definitely a policy for Angel Di Maria to shoot when he has the

:11:59. > :12:02.opportunity. That was heading into the bottom corner before the

:12:03. > :12:05.goalkeeper intercepted. Argentina fans are hoping that their hero can

:12:06. > :12:15.do what he does best. Lionel Messi strikes. Extraordinary. Four goals

:12:16. > :12:20.at this World Cup now, Lionel Messi. Ten goals in his last eight

:12:21. > :12:28.international appearances. And 24 goals in his last 23 international

:12:29. > :12:35.appearances. Three shots, all on target and two goals.

:12:36. > :12:59.An extraordinary start. Ahmed Musa with his second of the match. And

:13:00. > :13:09.twice he has equalised for Nigeria. Lionel Messi will take this corner.

:13:10. > :13:14.3-2. The final touch. And Argentina are back in front. With his first

:13:15. > :13:26.international goal. STUDIO They are both through to the

:13:27. > :13:31.last 16. In Salvador, a bit of history. Bosnia-Herzegovina

:13:32. > :13:37.recording their first World Cup win. 3-1 against Iran. But don't teams

:13:38. > :13:43.sadly are going home. -- those of these teams. Before we look at this

:13:44. > :13:47.game in more detail, more about the Luis Suarez cycle which unfolded in

:13:48. > :13:50.the past 24 hours. You would have to been on the moon not to have seen

:13:51. > :13:57.these pictures, or had the debate in your office. He appeared to bite

:13:58. > :14:01.this player just before the score. The only goal of the game which put

:14:02. > :14:03.them through. And the Italians out. This is what they both had to say on

:14:04. > :14:47.the matter. TRANSLATION: not surprisingly. Uruguay have 15

:14:48. > :14:49.minutes left to lodge an appeal and the disciplinary committee will meet

:14:50. > :14:57.tonight to look at what happened yesterday evening. It has been the

:14:58. > :15:04.biggest topic on social media today. 24 hours later, how do we reflect on

:15:05. > :15:07.what we saw? Still disbelief that he has put himself in this position

:15:08. > :15:13.having played so well in the whole competition, been one of the shining

:15:14. > :15:19.lights. He takes a step backward. Towards what he has done before. So

:15:20. > :15:25.many issues. Now he has brought them up again. Everyone has taken their

:15:26. > :15:31.eyes off how good he is. It is sad that he has done that for so many

:15:32. > :15:35.people. You cannot comprehend it, biting somebody, the worst being on

:15:36. > :15:41.a football pitch is to be spat at, but the second worst thing is to be

:15:42. > :15:47.bitten. You cannot do it. It is something that may be is done, and

:15:48. > :15:51.he has done it for many years, maybe as a child and he can't help

:15:52. > :15:59.himself, he loses himself for a second. Three times in less than

:16:00. > :16:03.five years. He comes out of this with no credit but he would

:16:04. > :16:10.certainly get more respect if he owns up. And not trying to fob us

:16:11. > :16:15.of. The natural thing is to defend yourself and take the heat away from

:16:16. > :16:19.the situation. You are right. If he did say, you are right, bang to

:16:20. > :16:24.rights, maybe he would come out with more credit. As well, the way that

:16:25. > :17:02.he has gone down holding his mouth as if he is the victim,

:17:03. > :17:09.hear from former West Bromwich fielder Valon Behrami. It is five

:17:10. > :17:15.goals for the French! We want to think positive, not think about what

:17:16. > :17:20.happened in the game against France. Anything can happen. It is a game

:17:21. > :17:25.where everything went wrong and anything could happen. The attitude

:17:26. > :17:31.of this team is to forget everything very quickly. They have got the

:17:32. > :17:41.winner! Less than 30 seconds to play. The position is just to be

:17:42. > :17:45.realistic. We are not the top team after the Ecuador game, and we are

:17:46. > :17:52.not a weak team now because we lost the game against France. It is a

:17:53. > :17:58.great team. We have made a lot of mistakes, myself as well. The

:17:59. > :18:04.mistake gives France possession back again, and what about that for a

:18:05. > :18:09.finish from the angle? I do not like to be an anonymous player, so I am

:18:10. > :18:14.there and giving everything I have. I make mistakes sometimes, and

:18:15. > :18:22.sometimes I help my team-mates who have made mistakes. We need to be

:18:23. > :18:26.more aggressive. Then show our quality because we have good

:18:27. > :18:32.quality, but we will not try too hard, do too much, just what we are

:18:33. > :18:36.used to. Well, that is the Switzerland team that will be

:18:37. > :18:41.kicking off in just over ten minutes time. You have had a quick look?

:18:42. > :18:48.Yes, and like I said before he has made a couple of changes, von Bergen

:18:49. > :18:54.at centre-half. Schar has coming alongside Djourou. Lichtsteiner

:18:55. > :19:01.loves to get forward and chicanery, the number 23 he loves to get a shot

:19:02. > :19:08.off. -- Shaqiri. Rodriguez likes to get forward. That is his cross, his

:19:09. > :19:14.left foot is incredibly dangerous, he puts it on a pinpoint position.

:19:15. > :19:18.That is an excellent corner. Very poor marking but what he does do, he

:19:19. > :19:22.always finds the good position to cross the ball and when he gets into

:19:23. > :19:26.that position he will always put it into the danger area where he

:19:27. > :19:34.expects his players to be. He leaves it in the area. That is a

:19:35. > :19:39.non-believer will finish. Just getting across his man, Seferovic. I

:19:40. > :19:45.said it in commentary, I did this on five live. We always teach strikers

:19:46. > :19:50.to run across the near post and Seferovic does it great. And it was

:19:51. > :19:56.the winner as well, a perfect run to beat the first man. Their opponents

:19:57. > :19:58.have never won a World Cup game but they could still qualify for the

:19:59. > :20:05.last 16 if they win and other results go their way. This is the

:20:06. > :20:10.team as far as Honduras is concerned. You have seen them

:20:11. > :20:16.already a couple of times, John? Defensively they are not great, I

:20:17. > :20:21.have two say, it is Wigan's Juan Carlos Garcia that has come in for

:20:22. > :20:28.Isaguirre had left-back. Wilson Palacios returns in midfield having

:20:29. > :20:32.been sent off against France. Carlo Costly and Jerry Bengtson have

:20:33. > :20:36.scored a lot of goals between them. Down the left-hand side, Wigan fans

:20:37. > :20:41.will be interested tonight. Garcia and Espinosa makes it an all Wigan

:20:42. > :20:46.left-hand side. They have good players and they are very physical.

:20:47. > :20:50.They have to do something they have not done in this tournament? They

:20:51. > :20:53.have two win the game and they cannot affect what happens between

:20:54. > :21:01.France and Ecuador so they just have to beat Switzerland tonight. How do

:21:02. > :21:04.you see this going? Down the left-hand side and the right-hand

:21:05. > :21:11.side as John has mentioned come Espinosa and Garcia, on either side

:21:12. > :21:23.and then you have Rodriguez. -- mentioned, Espinosa. Prediction?

:21:24. > :21:26.Honduras. I would ever Switzerland. I am staying neutral! Let's hand

:21:27. > :21:33.over to Kevin Kilbane alongside Steve Bower in Manaus. COMMENTATOR:

:21:34. > :21:39.Good evening and welcome to the Jungle. The last game of the World

:21:40. > :21:43.Cup inside this stadium and you do sense that it is now or never for

:21:44. > :21:44.Switzerland. Four years ago to the day

:21:45. > :21:47.sense that it is now or never for Switzerland. Four years ago as she

:21:48. > :21:49.mentioned, I was there in Bloemfontein to see the first and

:21:50. > :21:52.mentioned, I was there in Bloemfontein to see the only meeting

:21:53. > :21:56.between these two nations where Switzerland had the opportunity to

:21:57. > :21:59.win the game and progress in the tournament. They failed to take

:22:00. > :22:05.their opportunity and they went home. Will they be able to avoid a

:22:06. > :22:11.repeat of that scenario this evening? And advanced to the

:22:12. > :22:20.knockout stages for only the second time since 1994. Honduras bidding

:22:21. > :22:24.once again to try to create their own piece of history. Why winning a

:22:25. > :22:31.World Cup match at the ninth attempt. Their hopes are outside

:22:32. > :22:44.ones, but they are still flickering. They need a win. And they certainly

:22:45. > :22:48.need goals. A fabulous setting. As Manaus hosts a World Cup match for

:22:49. > :22:49.the last time in the tournament. And we will now pause for the two

:22:50. > :23:06.national anthems. Por guardar ese emblema divino,

:23:07. > :24:13.Marcharemos Y en tus pliegues gloriosos

:24:14. > :24:28.cubiertos, Seran muchos,

:24:29. > :24:29.Oh Honduras tus muertos, Gott, den Herrn, im hehren

:24:30. > :25:47.Vaterland. Will it be the last game of Ottmar

:25:48. > :25:53.Hitzfeld in management? The main man is here to watch on as well. Ottmar

:25:54. > :26:04.Hitzfeld is retiring after this tournament. Six years after taking

:26:05. > :26:09.charge. Will this be the end of the road for both of these nations?

:26:10. > :26:13.Honduras are trying to win a World Cup match of the first time,

:26:14. > :26:19.including four players who ply their trade in England, Palacios of Stoke

:26:20. > :26:24.City returns to the midfield having missed the France game through

:26:25. > :26:32.suspension. Maynor Figueroa of Hull City, winning his 107th cap.

:26:33. > :26:36.Espinosa is supported by his club team-mate Juan Carlos Garcia,

:26:37. > :26:41.replacing the Celtic left-back Emilio Izaguirre. Carlo Costly

:26:42. > :26:47.partners Jerry Bengtson again in attack, ending his country 's run of

:26:48. > :26:48.569 minutes without a World Cup goal last time.

:26:49. > :26:51.569 minutes without a World Cup goal last Argentina have done their job

:26:52. > :27:04.earlier today and they provide today's match official, Nestor

:27:05. > :27:11.Pitana. He meets the captains. The Honduran goalkeeper and Gokhan Inler

:27:12. > :27:14.of Napoli who leads Switzerland. And Switzerland 's reaction to their 5-2

:27:15. > :27:20.defeat to France is to make two changes, one of them is enforced,

:27:21. > :27:25.the central defender von Bergen injured his eye socket against the

:27:26. > :27:29.French and incomes Fabian Schar of Basel, actually their top scorer in

:27:30. > :27:36.qualifying. The other change is in attack, Justin Drmic is recalled, he

:27:37. > :27:41.has just signed for by Leverkusen. The former Arsenal defender Johan

:27:42. > :27:50.Djourou and West Ham midfielder Behrami both start, and so does

:27:51. > :27:56.Xherdan Shaqiri Bayern Munich. -- of Bayern Munich. In their third World

:27:57. > :28:01.Cup, they are still searching for their elusive first victory,

:28:02. > :28:05.Honduras. Luis Fernando Suarez. A name in the headlines from another

:28:06. > :28:10.country for all of the wrong reasons in the last 24 hours will try to

:28:11. > :28:14.bring the end the remarkable managerial career of Ottmar

:28:15. > :28:18.Hitzfeld, 19 major club trophies, six years in charge of Switzerland,

:28:19. > :28:29.will he have another game? This match will decide it. In the heat

:28:30. > :28:34.and more prominently today the humidity of Manaus. It will be the

:28:35. > :28:47.Central Americans, Honduras, to get us underway. In all white. In a

:28:48. > :28:54.repeat of the last group match in the last World Cup finals in South

:28:55. > :28:55.Africa. Switzerland are certainly searching for a very different

:28:56. > :29:13.outcome. possession. You feel as though the

:29:14. > :29:20.way they approach the game early on could set the tone? You mentioned

:29:21. > :29:23.that they both played in this particular fixture. It was a poor

:29:24. > :29:29.game from the outset. Switzerland needed a win and did not go for it.

:29:30. > :29:34.They have a lot of goals in the side. They mentioned in this Judy

:29:35. > :29:50.Rodriguez, the full-back, he is really attacking. -- they mentioned

:29:51. > :30:02.in the studio. Figaro of Hull. A linchpin of the national side for a

:30:03. > :30:06.long time. He is still 31. Beckeles. We have seen him in the World Cup

:30:07. > :30:10.and in the warm up game against England, they have a physical

:30:11. > :30:17.approach, the Hondurans. Oscar Garcia. Switching the play. One

:30:18. > :30:25.Carlos Garcia of Wigan. He has come in at left-back tonight. -- Juan

:30:26. > :30:32.Carlos. Long ball from Figaro. Looking for Carlo Costly. He was

:30:33. > :30:38.unable to find him. It is a Honduras throw. Garcia of Wigan has only made

:30:39. > :30:45.one appearance in the entire campaign last season. That was in a

:30:46. > :30:48.5-0 League Cup defeat at Man City. Wigan of course do have a bit of

:30:49. > :31:06.history with this country. One Carlos Garcia is the fifth Hondurans

:31:07. > :31:12.to play at the DW Stadium. -- Juan. Wilson did a very good job. Had some

:31:13. > :31:16.family issues. It could have gone anywhere. Still an opportunity. He

:31:17. > :31:20.could not convert it and the whistle has gone before he had the

:31:21. > :31:27.opportunity to shoot. First real opening. Wilson Palacios losing

:31:28. > :31:31.possession. That is what caused it. That has happened a couple of times.

:31:32. > :31:35.They have been in possession but has not been comfortable with how they

:31:36. > :31:39.have passed it around. I think they have been sloppy had time. A big

:31:40. > :31:51.opportunity. A great run down the left-hand side. A decent save. The

:31:52. > :31:59.Hondurans bodies were on the line here. The worst possible start for

:32:00. > :32:05.them, almost. I feel for Honduras. I think their best option, after

:32:06. > :32:11.Ecuador without costly goal, I think they have got power and pace up

:32:12. > :32:16.front. -- with that costly goal. When they are in possession it has

:32:17. > :32:20.not been comfortable. They have been complaints about the pitch in the

:32:21. > :32:28.previous games. It was grown from a farm in Sao Paulo and flown in for

:32:29. > :32:41.this World Cup. It has not been the greatest. That did not trouble the

:32:42. > :32:45.Manning goal. -- the goalkeeper. It is deceptive from the commentary

:32:46. > :32:51.position. Sometimes you get down to pitch side and you realise how bad

:32:52. > :33:00.it is. It does not look the best. They were saying it was a race

:33:01. > :33:02.against time to get ready. They are hoping they get the

:33:03. > :33:09.against time to get ready. They are hoping they get result that takes

:33:10. > :33:30.them through to the knockout stages. Beckeles, for Honduras. Cleared by

:33:31. > :33:37.Abby and sharp, for Switzerland. -- cleared by Schar. If they were to

:33:38. > :33:40.progress, this is the only Switzerland player on a yellow card.

:33:41. > :33:42.In danger of missing any knockout game.

:33:43. > :33:48.Switzerland player on a yellow card. In danger of missing any Rodriguez.

:33:49. > :33:55.He is with links all across Europe. The left act. Plays for Walls Burke.

:33:56. > :34:06.He is only 21. -- the left back. Plays for Wolfsburg. Seven goals

:34:07. > :34:11.last year as well. A good, attacking full-back. Liverpool are the latest

:34:12. > :34:33.club to be linked with him. That is a Switzerland throw. Lichtsteiner.

:34:34. > :34:39.Good balance by Shaqiri. What a goal by Shaqiri! A dream start for

:34:40. > :34:50.Switzerland. On stock bubble. From the Bayern Munich man. -- on stock

:34:51. > :34:59.bubble. -- immovable. He has provided a sublime one. He fully

:35:00. > :35:03.exploited the gap that he was given. It is an excellent strike.

:35:04. > :35:08.What a goal. Right into the top corner. On the side of the bar.

:35:09. > :35:21.Outstanding finish. Quite brilliant. Brilliant. Brats he could have got

:35:22. > :35:24.out a little bit quicker. He was going away from goal. Take nothing

:35:25. > :35:27.away from him. Brilliant execution. going away from goal. Take nothing

:35:28. > :35:29.away from him. Brilliant What a goal. He was going away from goal.

:35:30. > :35:32.Take nothing away from him. Brilliant execution. What a goal.

:35:33. > :35:43.Here's a talent. Still only 22. Linked with Liverpool. He got two

:35:44. > :35:47.goals in qualifying. His country. -- his 10th goal for his country and

:35:48. > :35:53.just the start Switzerland were after. He's going to bring Honduras

:35:54. > :36:00.back into it. They have two get forward. He has managed to white

:36:01. > :36:19.aggro he has managed to he has managed to get it across. And

:36:20. > :36:25.to good effect. That was really in there. Getting back in. Getting

:36:26. > :36:28.forward. Doing his job for the team. Comfortable fall River Uighurs,

:36:29. > :36:41.playing left back for Switzerland. The workrate of the man in front of

:36:42. > :36:45.him. When they went to bed last night they could not have dreamt of

:36:46. > :36:52.a better start and a better goal to get them going. They have been

:36:53. > :36:55.working on their defence since conceding five against France in

:36:56. > :37:00.that second game. As the goal-scorer commits the foul. Incredible to see

:37:01. > :37:08.them concede five in one game. That is as many as their previous nine

:37:09. > :37:18.World Cup matches. And here is Espinosa of Wigan. Good defending by

:37:19. > :37:24.the central defender, Schar. Back from Bernandez. This is a decent

:37:25. > :37:31.response by hand yours. Garcia. -- Honduras. Doing well getting

:37:32. > :37:37.forward. Garcia getting from the white ring position as well. --

:37:38. > :37:41.right wing position as well. The Honduras coach a bit shell-shocked

:37:42. > :37:46.after that goal. He knows what the knockout stages are about. He took

:37:47. > :37:54.Ecuador therein 2006. Before they were defeated by Sven Goran

:37:55. > :37:57.Eriksson's England. Made the downside hopes of Honduras stretch

:37:58. > :38:16.even more, that early goal. After six minutes, from Sheard and

:38:17. > :38:21.Shakira. -- from Shaqiri. Rodriguez. Into the penalty area for

:38:22. > :38:26.Switzerland. That was a good move. Coming from central. Getting out

:38:27. > :38:42.wide on the left. Just tried to whip it in. We can see the movement that

:38:43. > :38:50.he has given Switzerland. Espinosa, full of energy on the left-hand

:38:51. > :39:01.side. Costly. Got a touch. Cleared by Abbey and Shah for Switzerland.

:39:02. > :39:07.-- cleared by Schar for Switzerland. Neatly away by Honduras. Garcia

:39:08. > :39:18.keeps that in Westin Maki cannot. Yellow -- keeps that in? He cannot.

:39:19. > :39:24.Excellent cover from him. What a release that is for Switzerland. And

:39:25. > :39:29.what a strike to break the deadlock. Years going away from goal. That

:39:30. > :39:36.makes the strike better. Going away from goal. Shrugging off the

:39:37. > :39:40.defender. He has been pulled back. Such a brilliant goal. Outstanding.

:39:41. > :39:45.We have seen so much in this World Cup, brilliant strikes, and that is

:39:46. > :39:59.right up with them. He enjoyed that moment and rightly so. A fair

:40:00. > :40:05.challenge by Beckeles. Bengston. Foul. Honduras free kick. They are

:40:06. > :40:06.not shy of a tackle. Really heavy tackle. Setting that move going

:40:07. > :40:27.forward for them. Bernandez forward for that free

:40:28. > :40:34.kick, taken by Oscar Garcia. Coming through to Carlo Costly. Espinosa in

:40:35. > :40:39.support. Comfortable for the naked Bonaly in the Switzerland goal.

:40:40. > :40:48.-- comfortable for the goalkeeper. Switzerland conceded a poor goal

:40:49. > :40:54.against Ecuador in that first game. That will not have pleased Ottmar

:40:55. > :40:58.Hitzfeld. Renowned for his defensive organisation in his distinguished

:40:59. > :41:08.career. And they did look vulnerable against France in the set play as

:41:09. > :41:14.well. Palacios. Started only five Premier League games all season for

:41:15. > :41:19.Stoke City under Mark Hughes. Suspended for the second game. Just

:41:20. > :41:24.going back to the point that you were making earlier on, he really

:41:25. > :41:29.did have a big reputation at Wigan and when you played with him. When

:41:30. > :41:33.he was at Wigan with me he was a brilliant player. A big-money move

:41:34. > :41:36.to Tottenham. He had family and personal issues which I felt

:41:37. > :41:40.hindered him a little bit. And I felt hindered his progress in the

:41:41. > :41:45.Premier League. He could have gone on and been a really, truly good

:41:46. > :41:54.player for Tottenham. Wilson Palacios still only 29. His brothers

:41:55. > :41:58.once again among the substitutes. The three brothers are all in the

:41:59. > :42:16.Honduras squad. The first time that has happened. Oscar Garcia.

:42:17. > :42:27.Palacios. Espinosa. Dispossessed by the West Ham midfielder. Carlos

:42:28. > :42:50.Garcia. Beckeles. This is Jorge Claros. He was caught

:42:51. > :43:00.thereby Bengston. Free kick, Switzerland. Coming here to the

:43:01. > :43:04.game, I thought he could have been one of the players that the manager

:43:05. > :43:10.would have left out. Giving the ball away regularly against France. But

:43:11. > :43:28.sticking with experienced a night. Lost his place in January at not

:43:29. > :43:34.only. -- Napoli. He is on the bench again today. A Honduras throw. Did

:43:35. > :43:42.not score a tour in South Africa four years ago, Honduras. -- at all

:43:43. > :43:48.in South Africa. Managed one against Ecuador. It was 569 minutes without

:43:49. > :43:53.a World Cup goal. Famously scored in 1982 against Spain. He was pulled

:43:54. > :43:58.back. It is a free kick for Switzerland. He is proving a problem

:43:59. > :44:03.at the moment. A great first touch taking it past him here. Trying to

:44:04. > :44:10.put his team-mate through. Unlucky. But he got the foul. First touch

:44:11. > :44:33.taken away. He could not stay on his feet.

:44:34. > :44:45.set play as well, Shaqiri is the most prominent one. Via Darius in

:44:46. > :44:55.the Honduran goal has organised the wall. It may not be Shaqiri. He does

:44:56. > :45:09.well anyway. -- Noel Valladares. The wall did its job. The left foot of

:45:10. > :45:22.Ricardo Rodriguez. To deliver the corner for Switzerland. Cleared by

:45:23. > :45:26.Espinosa. This is Lichtsteiner. He was another one against France that

:45:27. > :45:30.struggled, we have seen him playing often this year for Juventus, he is

:45:31. > :45:38.a really powerful player but he was heavily exposed in the France game.

:45:39. > :45:42.He has little less defending to do for Juventus, obviously. He is a

:45:43. > :45:46.wingback and they play with three at the back and that plays to his

:45:47. > :45:51.strength. He has the energy to get forward but he gave it away

:45:52. > :45:54.regularly in that game, the all-round performance by Switzerland

:45:55. > :46:04.was poor but France exploited the weakness. Can Honduras do that?

:46:05. > :46:07.Remember Switzerland must better the Ecuador result against France to get

:46:08. > :46:12.through, and as it stands they are doing that. There is an awful lot of

:46:13. > :46:20.football left to be played in Group E. The goal-scorer is down as

:46:21. > :46:35.Honduras play on. It is back with Inler. That was a good challenge by

:46:36. > :46:39.Beckeles. It is never comfortable when the Hondurans have the ball, it

:46:40. > :46:47.is always a poor first touch, they are fighting to make the second pass

:46:48. > :46:56.and get it under control. Figaro. Juan Carlos Garcia. That was a good

:46:57. > :46:58.challenge by Rodriguez, well, the referee did not think so and has

:46:59. > :47:08.awarded a free kick. Espinosa. He drilled it straight at

:47:09. > :47:36.Inler. Lichtsteiner. Drmic was on the move

:47:37. > :47:40.but the ball did not reach him. It was the right option, good play

:47:41. > :47:45.again, one and two touch passing from the Swiss. That was the

:47:46. > :47:57.challenge from Palacios, wonderful piece of skill by Shaqiri. Getting

:47:58. > :48:03.in the way after Xhaka's free kick. Switzerland are just keeping an eye

:48:04. > :48:13.on their goal-scorer. Checking back Shaqiri is OK. -- that he is OK. In

:48:14. > :48:16.towards Bengtson. He is such a willing runner. The keeper will keep

:48:17. > :48:46.that in. Switzerland in their 10th World Cup,

:48:47. > :48:50.they were seeded in this group, and they are currently ranked sixth in

:48:51. > :48:55.the world rankings. The first time they have ever been seeded for a

:48:56. > :48:58.tournament. Bringing with them expectation into the last 16. That

:48:59. > :49:04.was a good touch again. Shaqiri will shoot again. He was not repeating

:49:05. > :49:11.what he did before. That was a decent ball from Lichtsteiner,

:49:12. > :49:15.playing it into Drmic. Shaqiri cuts onto his left foot. That is the goal

:49:16. > :49:29.again. I will never get tired of seeing that. They replay that over

:49:30. > :49:30.and over again. It has too matter and mean something. Lichtsteiner

:49:31. > :49:55.blocks it. -- it has too matter. Jorge Claros. Garcia has gone for

:49:56. > :50:03.the return, here. That was put behind by Schar. Honduras's first

:50:04. > :50:08.corner of the game. This is the chance, the set play, we spoke about

:50:09. > :50:11.it before, they loved vulnerable against France and Ecuador, the

:50:12. > :50:16.Switzerland side. -- looked like they were vulnerable. Honduras have

:50:17. > :50:22.a lot of height and power in their side. In it comes. It was not really

:50:23. > :50:28.dealt with. Beckeles, the full-back, had a swing. He could not find the

:50:29. > :50:36.target. A nervous moment for Switzerland. A good chance. Not the

:50:37. > :50:40.best of balls played in but there was good movement. Beckeles never

:50:41. > :50:44.really looked comfortable, when it was coming across his body. Trying

:50:45. > :50:51.to direct it on target but that was a difficult task for him. He has

:50:52. > :50:56.only ever scored one international goal, those Honduran supporters will

:50:57. > :51:07.not worry about who scores as long as their nation does. Forward from

:51:08. > :51:17.Schar. Bengtson. The top goal-scorer for Honduras in qualification. Oscar

:51:18. > :51:28.Garcia. Beckeles. Palacios with a touch which ultimately did not come

:51:29. > :51:32.off. Played only as far as Claros. They are just sitting very deep

:51:33. > :51:47.now, Switzerland, trying to do a bit of a containing job on Honduras, but

:51:48. > :51:55.that is a dangerous game. Figaro. -- Maynor Figueroa. Drmic. That was a

:51:56. > :52:13.fair challenge by Espinosa. Trying once again with Palacios. Juan

:52:14. > :52:16.Carlos Garcia. Every single Switzerland player is deep inside

:52:17. > :52:30.their own half, behind the ball. Beckeles. Honduras are maintaining

:52:31. > :52:37.possession, played forward by Figueroa, Djourou did not get there,

:52:38. > :52:44.he was pulling off the shoulder of Djourou. Decent ball by Figueroa,

:52:45. > :52:50.good control to play by Honduras, Palacios was heavily involved. That

:52:51. > :52:54.might be something they can exploit. Just a another push in the

:52:55. > :53:00.back of Djourou which the referee blew for. Give us an idea, you have

:53:01. > :53:04.played in humidity during your career, when you do not have the

:53:05. > :53:10.ball, like Switzerland, how hard is it? That is why they are setting

:53:11. > :53:15.off, trying not to exert too much energy, they do not want to blow

:53:16. > :53:19.themselves out so they have decided to sit off and allow Honduras

:53:20. > :53:24.possession but it is all in front of them, they are not hurting them in

:53:25. > :53:33.behind. It is 88% humidity at pitch side. In the Arena Amazonia in

:53:34. > :53:43.Manaus. It is 26 degrees. In the sunshine. It is a free kick to

:53:44. > :53:52.Honduras, Jorge Claros. With it. In towards Figueroa. Johan Djourou with

:53:53. > :53:58.the headed clearance, he now plays in Hamburg in Germany. That is a

:53:59. > :54:04.terrible ball by Benaglio. Switzerland were not punished. A

:54:05. > :54:09.huge sigh of relief from the goalkeeper. Very much so, he

:54:10. > :54:14.struggled in the first game, Benaglio, he was at fault for the

:54:15. > :54:20.first two goals against France. He may be a bit low on confidence and

:54:21. > :54:27.it certainly showed there. A headed clearance. He is an experienced

:54:28. > :54:30.campaigner, the Swiss goalkeeper. His 60th cap. He won the Bundesliga

:54:31. > :54:40.with Wolfsburg in his third major tournament. The whistle had gone,

:54:41. > :54:46.then. Before the ball went in the back of the net. Great vision from

:54:47. > :54:57.Shaqiri, getting his head up, just inside the Honduras half. Maynor

:54:58. > :55:07.Figueroa actually injured his own player! The challenge on Claros.

:55:08. > :55:17.Maynor Figueroa is another one as well who likes a challenge. Diving

:55:18. > :55:26.in already in this World Cup. We know that he does, Wilson Palacios.

:55:27. > :55:48.Inler, that was a lovely turn. He gets away. He is looking for some

:55:49. > :55:55.movement. Men Eddie. He runs into traffic. He was looking to get back

:55:56. > :56:04.on his right foot, Admir Mehmedi. Trying to whip it in behind. --

:56:05. > :56:16.Admir Mehmedi. What a challenge that is. Shaqiri. WHISTLE

:56:17. > :56:26.Foul by Johann Joe Root. -- Johan Djourou. He missed the last World

:56:27. > :56:30.Cup finals with a knee injury. He did not play in 2006 when they got

:56:31. > :56:37.out of the group, the last time that Switzerland manage that. Beating

:56:38. > :56:42.Ukraine on penalties. Good challenge. Xhaka. That one was not

:56:43. > :56:59.by Figaro. -- Figueroa. That is a good challenge, there,

:57:00. > :57:00.from Xhaka. Just getting himself back, providing good cover for the

:57:01. > :57:19.defence. That is a curious one from Schar.

:57:20. > :57:23.Ottmar Hitzfeld was offered a two-year contract extension before

:57:24. > :57:30.the tournament began. He was adamant that the time had come, and he is

:57:31. > :57:34.one of only five coaches to win the Champions League with two different

:57:35. > :57:41.clubs. A five-time Bundesliga winner. There was an opportunity for

:57:42. > :57:45.him to continue. In terms of this game they are trying to make sure he

:57:46. > :57:58.has at least one more game in the tournament. As it stands they would

:57:59. > :58:09.do. Rodriguez. Beckeles took a risk. Drmic was penalised for a little

:58:10. > :58:13.show of -- push on Figueroa. Honduras looked uncomfortable, they

:58:14. > :58:16.never really settled, it always takes two or three touches and when

:58:17. > :58:36.they pass it is always bobbling towards a team-mate. Oscar Garcia.

:58:37. > :58:48.Costly. His strike partner, Bengtson. The foul by Juan Carlos

:58:49. > :58:53.Garcia of Wigan Athletic. He is getting forward, Garcia, he is a

:58:54. > :58:56.good attacking full-back for Wigan. Certainly a player that can provide

:58:57. > :59:12.crosses when he gets forward as well. Costly. You always feel with

:59:13. > :59:17.Honduras that you have to expect the unexpected. You cannot relax and

:59:18. > :59:24.settle against them, that's for sure. Unlucky not to get a draw

:59:25. > :59:29.against Ecuador in the end. They missed some good chances in that

:59:30. > :59:40.match. He has missed that and here is Shaqiri. A real chance for 2-0!

:59:41. > :59:52.Hears and Switzerland's second! Shaqiri doubles their advantage. He

:59:53. > :59:57.has scored two goals. And two for Switzerland after 31 minutes. They

:59:58. > :00:04.cannot live with his movement. Pulling away from the defence.

:00:05. > :00:11.Played through to Xherdan Shaqiri. A good first touch. Got himself set.

:00:12. > :00:23.Good composure. Brilliant finish. A good goal.

:00:24. > :00:30.He just waited, didn't he? Just waited for him to fall. Going down

:00:31. > :00:39.to his right. Waited for that moment. Really into finish. That is

:00:40. > :00:43.what I alluded to at club level. He has been much talked about. A lot of

:00:44. > :00:49.competition understandably had Bayern Munich to get minutes under

:00:50. > :00:55.his belt. In recent times he has made him his main man. He plays a

:00:56. > :01:05.different role behind the foreword. They cannot live with him at the

:01:06. > :01:09.moment. Big contributions. As it stands in Group E, it would be

:01:10. > :01:25.Switzerland going through, with France into the knockout stages.

:01:26. > :01:35.Here is Palacios, for Honduras. Understandably deflated after that

:01:36. > :01:39.second goal. The Central Americans. I think the option for them, the

:01:40. > :01:47.best option for Honduras is to be a bit more direct. Unless it goes to

:01:48. > :01:51.where he can control the game, there is nobody that can control the game

:01:52. > :02:03.as well as him. They do not have the quality. Behrami. Moves it forward,

:02:04. > :02:13.for Lichtsteiner. Six goals in the tournament is now, Switzerland. You

:02:14. > :02:25.would have held good odds on that. Valladares in the Honduras goal

:02:26. > :02:26.immediately finding Espinosa. On a different wavelength to Carlo

:02:27. > :02:54.Costly. Sloppy passing, isn't it? Pretty much perfect so far in the

:02:55. > :03:00.first half, for Switzerland. Apart from that half chance from Beckeles,

:03:01. > :03:04.they have not really been troubled. They have not. It has been

:03:05. > :03:08.comfortable. They did drop off and allow Honduras comfortable

:03:09. > :03:13.possession. But they were never going to hurt them. No player

:03:14. > :03:17.looking to run behind and create the spaces. It has been comfortable.

:03:18. > :03:30.Really well worked goal is for Switzerland. -- goals. The

:03:31. > :03:34.22-year-old is now on a hat-trick. He seems to have been around

:03:35. > :03:37.forever. He seems to have played in big tournaments before. An

:03:38. > :03:45.outstanding prospect a few years ago. We have often seen him in that

:03:46. > :03:49.wider role. He has been deployed where he feels he can get onto it

:03:50. > :03:53.more and her teams more. The difficulty is the quality of the

:03:54. > :03:57.players he plays with and Bayern Munich. He might need to go

:03:58. > :03:59.players he plays with and Bayern Munich. He might need elsewhere and

:04:00. > :04:06.he was talking about that this season. Certainly on the radar of

:04:07. > :04:15.Liverpool, that is for sure. Maynor Figueroa, for Honduras. Jorge

:04:16. > :04:36.Claros. Bengston. Ambitious. We saw that breakaway going back to

:04:37. > :04:43.front. It was a really good all, wasn't it? With that initial pass

:04:44. > :04:54.forward. Back to front. Outstanding goal. It really was. A really

:04:55. > :05:05.composed finish by Xherdan Shaqiri. His 36 already at the age of 22

:05:06. > :05:13.today. -- 36 is appearances already. A rich round of applause at the

:05:14. > :05:22.stadium in Manaus. And from the neutrals as well.

:05:23. > :05:29.WHISTLE Another free kick for Switzerland. Jorge Claros is the one

:05:30. > :05:37.penalised. Quickly taken as well. They could be in trouble. More

:05:38. > :05:45.composure and they would have been... Maynor Figueroa. Just a

:05:46. > :05:51.simple run. A straight run, straight in behind. Across the goal. He

:05:52. > :05:56.should be. He should be finding the target. It was just a movement. A

:05:57. > :05:58.simple ball played forward. All the defence needed to do was dropped off

:05:59. > :06:09.and see the run come straight onto them. Maynor Figueroa with a foul on

:06:10. > :06:10.Xherdan Shaqiri. It was taken to quickly for the Argentinian

:06:11. > :06:33.referee's liking. Honduras have got everybody back.

:06:34. > :06:53.And the goal-scorer is going to deliver this. Back post. Headed away

:06:54. > :06:55.by Maynor Figueroa. This is Inler. And that has been over hit by the

:06:56. > :07:17.Switzerland captain. Carlos Costly has got a problem for

:07:18. > :07:23.Honduras. The goal-scoring hero against Ecuador. He missed out on

:07:24. > :07:35.the tournament four years ago with a broken foot. And it looks as though

:07:36. > :07:47.his day and probably his tournament is over here as well. This is

:07:48. > :07:53.another setback for Honduras. The fourth all-time record goals clear.

:07:54. > :08:00.-- goal-scorer. He is an important player for them. And the brother of

:08:01. > :08:10.Wilson Palacios, Jerry, is going to come on in his place. He is the

:08:11. > :08:20.older brother, aged 32. He plays his foot wall in Costa Rica. -- he plays

:08:21. > :08:34.in Costa Rica. He is going to come on for his 25th appearance.

:08:35. > :09:00.That is the end of Carlos Costly's day. Lichtsteiner. Espinosa. First

:09:01. > :09:11.touch for Jerry Palacios. Beckeles. His cross was deflected. Honduras

:09:12. > :09:16.have a corner. Outstanding workrate by Mehmedi. Good defensive cover at

:09:17. > :09:23.every opportunity. Good energy from him. Second corner in this first

:09:24. > :09:28.half. He did not get to it. He stayed down. Drilled back by

:09:29. > :09:42.Espinosa. The referee's whistle had already gone. The goalkeeper got

:09:43. > :09:45.nothing on it. Something on it. He did get something on it. Just the

:09:46. > :10:01.follow-through, I think. Making contact. There is some concern about

:10:02. > :10:05.the Swiss number one. And that is Yann Sommer. The number two. He

:10:06. > :10:09.plays for bass all. He will be moving to the Bundesliga after this

:10:10. > :10:20.tournament. Moving to Monchengladbach. It looks like he

:10:21. > :10:27.crashed into the knee of his defender. It was a heavy fall,

:10:28. > :10:31.actually. I think we have seen already in this World Cup, any head

:10:32. > :10:43.injuries, you have got to get the players off. Listen to the medical

:10:44. > :10:51.advice. The 30-year-old is back on his feet. Made his debut eight years

:10:52. > :11:06.ago for Switzerland. Looks like he will be all right to continue.

:11:07. > :11:33.WHISTLE Xherdan Shaqiri. Here is the goal-scorer again. He is onside.

:11:34. > :11:36.Problems for Honduras. Kept out. Just brilliant movement again. The

:11:37. > :11:41.ball played into Xherdan Shaqiri. Coming off the right-hand side that

:11:42. > :11:45.time. Floating centrally. Good movement. He did not have an option.

:11:46. > :11:53.He had to go for goal. The angle was against him. He could not let that

:11:54. > :12:16.go for a goal kick. It is a Honduras throw. Maynor Figueroa. They look a

:12:17. > :12:20.dejected outfit at the moment. Honduras very uncomfortable at the

:12:21. > :12:25.moment. On the flip side, very comfortable for Switzerland. They

:12:26. > :12:35.looked a real threat going forward. That is the little hand off by

:12:36. > :12:48.Espinosa in the face there. Wilson Palacios.

:12:49. > :13:03.Espinosa. That is comfortable for Robbie 28-macro. Fouled by the Wigan

:13:04. > :13:11.player. -- comfortable for Lichtsteiner. A heavy challenge

:13:12. > :13:26.again by Espinosa. He was lucky not to go in the book.

:13:27. > :13:31.It was a great ball, wasn't it? The angle was just against him. A

:13:32. > :13:53.difficult chance. Bernandez. A terrible pass again by

:13:54. > :13:58.Wilson Palacios. Straight to Xherdan Shaqiri. Maynor Figueroa coming to

:13:59. > :14:04.the rescue. It was a heavy touch. He got lucky there. Just one touch too

:14:05. > :14:16.many. Taking it into Maynor Figueroa. He had options as well.

:14:17. > :14:25.Lang was running in behind. Oscar Garcia. Wilson Palacios. Juan Carlos

:14:26. > :14:37.Garcia. Xherdan Shaqiri quick, winning it back for Switzerland.

:14:38. > :14:58.Drmic. Switching play cleverly to Rodriguez.

:14:59. > :15:27.Djourou. Excellent movement from Admir Mehmedi, freeing up Rodriguez.

:15:28. > :15:33.Admir Mehmedi, another one who plays in fried blog. He is trying to get

:15:34. > :15:43.on the end of it. Drmic. The goalkeeper did well. -- Freiburg.

:15:44. > :15:47.Great run again, he always knows that when Shaqiri gets the ball and

:15:48. > :15:59.picks his head up, he makes the movement in behind, but it was a

:16:00. > :16:05.decent save. Inler. There is the half-time whistle. And Switzerland,

:16:06. > :16:11.courtesy of Bayern Munich's Xherdan Shaqiri, are in a very good

:16:12. > :16:15.position, two goals from him, the first was a fabulous strike after

:16:16. > :16:21.six minutes. He followed it up with a second after 31. It is all going

:16:22. > :16:29.Switzerland's way. At the break in Manaus it is Honduras zero -2

:16:30. > :16:33.Switzerland. STUDIO: Since 1966 it is the first time that Switzerland

:16:34. > :16:39.have scored two goals at the World Cup in the first half and they are

:16:40. > :16:42.certainly in the driving seat? Just doing the right things, they have

:16:43. > :16:45.had less possession but they have played well in the final third and

:16:46. > :16:50.when they get into the corners they are not afraid of just putting it in

:16:51. > :16:53.there to see what happens. They have worked hard to get forward into the

:16:54. > :16:54.final third and they try to do something

:16:55. > :16:56.worked hard to get forward into the final third and they try to do with

:16:57. > :17:04.it, they do not come out and start again. Amazingly Honduras had 60% is

:17:05. > :17:07.ashen but when they get into the Switzerland final third they just

:17:08. > :17:12.have no quality, they love as though they will be there all night. A

:17:13. > :17:16.really fast start from Switzerland, the ball coming in within three

:17:17. > :17:21.minutes and the goalkeeper makes a good save. That was Shaqiri early on

:17:22. > :17:27.showing their intent, Switzerland, getting in where he should be,

:17:28. > :17:31.across the near man. Carlos should get closer for Honduras, he lets him

:17:32. > :17:38.turn to easily. He does not get close enough. What a finish from

:17:39. > :17:44.Shaqiri. You will struggle to see a better goal from this, we spoke

:17:45. > :17:48.about Cahill's, that is the only one that tops that. He is a wonderful

:17:49. > :17:52.player with a great left foot and that is in off the bar. He has been

:17:53. > :17:59.linked with Liverpool and you can see why. That is all he has in his

:18:00. > :18:02.mind, getting the shot off, trying to slide people in down the sides of

:18:03. > :18:08.the full-backs and the centre halves. Everything is going through

:18:09. > :18:15.him at the moment. Best goal of the tournament so far? I would say

:18:16. > :18:22.Cahill. That was special. To be fair, the goal from Leo Messi today

:18:23. > :18:25.was great. Hondurans do not have a player that can be the difference

:18:26. > :18:34.comment he has got real quality. There is no spark. -- difference,

:18:35. > :18:37.who has real quality. When you play with big centre forward you have to

:18:38. > :18:41.get balls into the box and they have nothing in there. There was only

:18:42. > :18:47.going to be one outcome when he broke free. He is a willing runner.

:18:48. > :18:53.Look at his little legs getting into the area. I thought to myself, will

:18:54. > :18:58.he just played over the keeper? But he is built in a way that I do not

:18:59. > :19:04.think he has that finesse, it is all about power and speed. It is a great

:19:05. > :19:07.first touch and he sets himself, going on to his favoured left foot

:19:08. > :19:14.and putting it to the other side of the keeper. I like the pass into

:19:15. > :19:21.Shaqiri, the wait at the pass was perfect. Shaqiri does not have the

:19:22. > :19:26.break his stride. I was with you, I thought he would try to chip the

:19:27. > :19:38.keeper. His chips don't like, Shaqiri! -- lie. We have seen it

:19:39. > :19:42.before. Wilson Palacios was suspended for the last game and even

:19:43. > :19:46.in the warm up game against England they put themselves about and they

:19:47. > :19:50.have done it again today? Yes, just a little bit but they are

:19:51. > :19:57.overzealous and they leave their feet in. That is lazy. It is

:19:58. > :20:04.needless. Studs over the top, that is how you get a metatarsal injury.

:20:05. > :20:09.They are a bit heavy-handed! Look at that. He did not even get booked for

:20:10. > :20:14.that and it was cynical. This is deeper Lassie is one that we saw

:20:15. > :20:18.earlier in the game, coming through with a straight leg, lunging

:20:19. > :20:24.incoming you cannot do that any more. These are just reckless

:20:25. > :20:28.challenges. Both legs going in at once, really dangerous. I cannot

:20:29. > :20:34.remember whether the referee gave him a yellow. John will tell you

:20:35. > :20:40.that you cannot do that. Can we just say one thing? It is not exclusive

:20:41. > :20:46.to the opposition, they have done it to themselves? ! By the referee not

:20:47. > :20:53.getting out the yellow card early in the game, they will just carry on.

:20:54. > :20:56.The referee sets a precedent, he needs to get his yellow cards out

:20:57. > :21:02.and say, I am not accepting challenges like that. That is how

:21:03. > :21:04.you get injured, when your tackle is needless and out-of-control, that is

:21:05. > :21:11.when you get injured and nobody wants that. What does the manager

:21:12. > :21:15.say? They need goals, not fouls. They need to do what Switzerland are

:21:16. > :21:19.doing, when they get into the areas in order to cross it, that is what

:21:20. > :21:27.you work hard on the training pitch for. The record goal-scorer, Costly

:21:28. > :21:33.has gone off and Palacios has come on. He is not as much of a target as

:21:34. > :21:36.Costly but they will play the same formation. They have do try to keep

:21:37. > :21:41.the ball and keep 11 players on the pitch. They need to be more clever,

:21:42. > :21:46.forget about the physical side, pass the ball and play your own game, do

:21:47. > :21:51.not go around trying to smash people, they are in trouble. The

:21:52. > :21:55.other game in the group shows France, the qualifiers from this

:21:56. > :22:04.group, against Ecuador in Rio. Here is what has happened in the first 45

:22:05. > :22:08.minutes. The ball into the box was not a bad one and it was not well

:22:09. > :22:13.dealt with. That is a terrific volley. Great control on his left

:22:14. > :22:28.foot from Cissokho. A decent save by Dominguez. Sagna Goes forward. They

:22:29. > :22:33.are not out of the woods yet. Sagna crosses it. The goalkeeper came. He

:22:34. > :22:45.barely made acquaintance with the ball at all. Dominguez gets lucky.

:22:46. > :22:51.If they fall away, Ecuador, the last bit of belief may ebb away. That is

:22:52. > :23:06.a good save by Dominguez. And a pretty good header, two, there.

:23:07. > :23:14.Curled in. Antonio Valencia in the penalty area. Valencia! That was a

:23:15. > :23:19.good save. Look at the leap from Valencia, that is incredible, how

:23:20. > :23:25.high he gets. It was quite a simple save for Hugo Lloris in the end.

:23:26. > :23:32.Goalless at half-time in Rio. We have clearly got a better game here

:23:33. > :23:35.on BBC Three! Group winners France will play Nigeria in the next round

:23:36. > :23:41.and Switzerland will play the runners-up, Argentina. Plenty still

:23:42. > :23:44.to play for here but not for England, the squad landed in

:23:45. > :23:48.Manchester earlier today after their goalless draw with Costa Rica

:23:49. > :24:02.yesterday. They finished bottom of the group. Gabby Logan reports for

:24:03. > :24:05.the final time from Brazil. Samba, the voice of the people. The melody

:24:06. > :24:19.of a happy Brazil. If England were to take off at this

:24:20. > :24:24.tournament they needed to be more than the sum of their parts, the new

:24:25. > :24:32.golden generation would need to play with style, rhythm and adventure,

:24:33. > :24:35.befitting a World Cup in Brazil. It started brightly, positivity,

:24:36. > :24:38.openness, and the winning of hearts and minds in the sunshine but this

:24:39. > :24:46.campaign was always about victory on the pitch, not of it. First stop,

:24:47. > :24:52.the Amazon and Manaus where pre-match talk of positions was

:24:53. > :25:00.eclipsed by familiar faces and old problems. Lovely dummy! Sturridge is

:25:01. > :25:05.in the middle, that was a good ball from Rudy and a good finish by

:25:06. > :25:11.Sturridge. Balotelli is going to get there. -- from Rooney. Down but not

:25:12. > :25:17.out and hope beneath the disappointment, a new sense of

:25:18. > :25:23.purpose that was maybe once lost. Sao Paulo, the most populous City,

:25:24. > :25:32.it was not so much must win, rather mustn't lose. Luis Suarez gives

:25:33. > :25:42.Uruguay the lead. Rooney is there! Luis Suarez. Luis Suarez has dumped

:25:43. > :25:46.it in. Bitten again by the devil we know, crushing disappointment writ

:25:47. > :25:52.large, the unthinkable became thinkable. Results elsewhere

:25:53. > :25:58.confirmed the worst, England's first group stage exit since 58. By the

:25:59. > :26:04.time of the last game in Belo Horizonte, the fingers of blame were

:26:05. > :26:11.already pointing, this was the most dead of dead rubbers. Sturridge is

:26:12. > :26:23.on to the return but he puts it wide. They are going home without a

:26:24. > :26:27.win. 0-0. What next for England? The manager is secure for now, the

:26:28. > :26:32.captain is tight-lipped about his own future and age-old arguments are

:26:33. > :26:36.resurfacing, coaching techniques, the FA versus the Premier League,

:26:37. > :26:51.but for now, let's just enjoy the football. The recriminations

:26:52. > :26:54.continue of course after a bitterly disappointing tournament as far as

:26:55. > :27:01.England are concerned. Despite the negatives are there any positive

:27:02. > :27:06.aspects to England's showing? The big positive is that England have

:27:07. > :27:11.found a centre forward in Daniel Sturridge. He got his goal, he was

:27:12. > :27:14.lively in all of the games. Yes, he missed a few chances but I never

:27:15. > :27:20.mind the striker missing chances because he is getting in there. Look

:27:21. > :27:24.at Sterling, Berkeley, Wiltshire, Luke Shaw, and Walcott coming back.

:27:25. > :27:29.The future is looking good with all of them young players. Wayne Rooney

:27:30. > :27:34.did not have a bad tournament either. There were not many good

:27:35. > :27:38.things to come out of the tournament, three defeats, in my

:27:39. > :27:43.opinion we conceded four goals and we were not as good as the rest but

:27:44. > :27:47.Harry Cahill was still strong, he tried to lead vocally, and I think

:27:48. > :27:53.we have also found a centre forward and a future captain. That is the

:27:54. > :27:58.next question, relating to that, Gerard Van Lampard, is that the last

:27:59. > :28:02.time we will see them in an England shirt? -- Steven Gerrard and

:28:03. > :28:06.Lampard. He is still the best in that role, in front of the back

:28:07. > :28:11.four, he passes it as good as anyone, there is not a lot expected

:28:12. > :28:16.of him defensively, he just needs to intercept and he can cover 20 or 30

:28:17. > :28:20.yards and intercept passes and things like that and he cannot hit

:28:21. > :28:27.long and short. While he is fit and in the Liverpool side, why not carry

:28:28. > :28:31.on? Out of the two of them, you would think about Frank, you can

:28:32. > :28:35.always get you a goal, whether he will do it at world level or Premier

:28:36. > :28:40.League level, he will always get you a goal, or create chances for

:28:41. > :28:45.others, I hope it is not the end because they still have a lot to

:28:46. > :28:49.offer. They have stuck by Roy Hodgson. Soon after we knew the fate

:28:50. > :28:54.of the team. Were they right? Personally I do not want to change

:28:55. > :28:59.all the time. You have got to have stability? Yes otherwise you will

:29:00. > :29:02.never have it. If things do not go right you have do have the

:29:03. > :29:08.ingredients to put it right next time, if you keep changing you will

:29:09. > :29:11.never do that. Do you agree? Sticking with him was the right

:29:12. > :29:15.decision, questions will be asked about some of the teams that he

:29:16. > :29:21.picked, I would have gone for more flair and more youth, I would have

:29:22. > :29:26.picked le Larner in the first game, and also Ross Barkley. -- Adam

:29:27. > :29:36.Lallana. England will get behind him. I would like to scene a bit

:29:37. > :29:44.more of Rickie Lambert. He could have been thinking, he could have

:29:45. > :29:52.done more. He can score goals. I think he was wasted. I think he has

:29:53. > :30:01.got great feat. We will get back to Manaus in a moment but the final

:30:02. > :30:05.macro-2 groups are decided. USA and Germany, and Portugal and Ghana,

:30:06. > :30:12.kick-off for both matches is at five o'clock. These are the scenes. The

:30:13. > :30:17.players are almost ready to come out for the second half. Switzerland

:30:18. > :30:20.will be the happiest. Leading 2-0. What do Honduras have to do to give

:30:21. > :30:27.themselves any chance of getting out of the group? They would obviously

:30:28. > :30:30.like to get an early goal. Kevin said in commentary that the way

:30:31. > :30:36.forward he thinks is to go a bit more direct. They need to stop

:30:37. > :30:40.conceding. Xherdan Shaqiri is on a hat-trick. He will be feeling

:30:41. > :30:44.confident. He will be looking to get his third. An early goal for

:30:45. > :30:50.Honduras would be a positive start to the half. It would suit them.

:30:51. > :30:55.With Switzerland, the centre halves, they have just got to concentrate.

:30:56. > :31:02.In a situation like this, the next goal as we always say is very

:31:03. > :31:05.important. Rodriguez at left back and Lichtsteiner have got to be more

:31:06. > :31:12.structured as a back four. One goes, one stays. If you concede, the

:31:13. > :31:18.game is over. Back to Manaus, Kevin and Steve. COMMENTATOR You get the

:31:19. > :31:26.feeling that it is important for Switzerland in terms of their hopes

:31:27. > :31:32.for qualification, but it might not be about Manaus, it might be about

:31:33. > :31:37.Alnwick Woodall goal in Rio. -- a goal by Ecuador in Rio. Carlos

:31:38. > :31:49.Costly replaced. This is Marvin Chavez. His 44th appearance.

:31:50. > :31:55.Replacing Wigan's Espinosa. Five of him. We will see if he can help

:31:56. > :32:04.Honduras in the second half. -- five feet and five inches of him. And the

:32:05. > :32:09.hero, Xherdan Shaqiri. We will get underway in the second half. Can

:32:10. > :32:18.they see it out and do their job? You have do hope that Ecuador do not

:32:19. > :32:22.defeat France and the Maracana. -- in the Maracana. I knew expecting

:32:23. > :32:27.more from Honduras? I said in the first half, John mentioned it, they

:32:28. > :32:32.got their success against Ecuador by being direct. They have not been

:32:33. > :32:35.comfortable in possession centrally. They have had it taken away from

:32:36. > :32:44.them. That I think is the best option. Going forward. Trying to get

:32:45. > :32:48.into the feet of Bengston and seeing what they can make of it. Playing

:32:49. > :32:53.not down football. They have not been the best in the first. Ash

:32:54. > :33:12.knocked down football. -- knocked down football. Rodriguez. Inler. The

:33:13. > :33:22.half-time substitute, Chavez. A very quick and direct player. And he is

:33:23. > :33:29.chasing Lichtsteiner here. And he's howling him. That was really sloppy

:33:30. > :33:33.by Chavez. Doing the right thing. Helping out his full-back. And he

:33:34. > :33:36.has gone straight into the back of him. It is a poor foul to give away.

:33:37. > :33:48.It really is. The goal-scorer Xherdan Shaqiri

:33:49. > :34:06.preparing to deliver. Everybody is back to defend it.

:34:07. > :34:11.Inler. Screwed wide in the end by the captain. But it was a great

:34:12. > :34:25.ball. A brilliant ball by Xherdan Shaqiri. Right into the six yard

:34:26. > :34:31.box. Jerry Palacios challenging. Knocked back by Behrami. Free,

:34:32. > :34:37.Switzerland. -- free kick, Switzerland. Real disappointment

:34:38. > :34:45.that they did not get out of the Group 4 years ago. After defeating

:34:46. > :34:49.Spain in their opening match 1-0. It has been a far better Swiss

:34:50. > :35:00.performance today in Manaus in Brazil than it was that night in

:35:01. > :35:07.South Africa. Another Luis Suarez. His first touch is not too bad! It

:35:08. > :35:11.is his players which need to go up a level or two. Certainly the case.

:35:12. > :35:25.They just have not got enough, have they? Juan Carlos Garcia with the

:35:26. > :35:34.throw. Chavez. Taken away by Behrami. A highly rated player. 21

:35:35. > :35:42.years of age. Baruch Monchengladbach. What a breakthrough

:35:43. > :35:50.season it has been for him. Wilson Palacios. A decent ball. Bengston

:35:51. > :35:56.throwing himself at it. He could not make any contact. I think he could

:35:57. > :36:01.have gone with his feet instead of diving. A big chance for him here. A

:36:02. > :36:09.good ball played in. He did not know. He was totally lost. It is a

:36:10. > :36:14.poor body shape. He could have just finished it. A simple tap in for him

:36:15. > :36:19.really. I do not know why he is diving on that. Nine goals out of 12

:36:20. > :36:37.games in qualifying for the World Cup. Three goals at the Olympics in

:36:38. > :36:48.London. Which Honduras takes very seriously in terms of international

:36:49. > :37:09.experience. This is Inler. Cleared by Maynor Figueroa. Delivered on

:37:10. > :37:14.that occasion by Mehmedi. Chavez. Will he uplift Honduras spirits? It

:37:15. > :37:20.is a big chance. We spoke about it at the start. They need an early

:37:21. > :37:24.goal. Get back into the game. He did not need to do that. Here he is,

:37:25. > :37:31.getting involved. Oscar Garcia. Jerry Palacios. They are asking

:37:32. > :37:40.Switzerland some questions. Just a bit more direct. They have both got

:37:41. > :37:50.good aerial ability. Bengston and Palacios. They have got to try news

:37:51. > :37:55.that. -- try and use that. Switzerland came into this

:37:56. > :38:02.tournament with a record of nine clean sheets in 15 matches. A lot of

:38:03. > :38:06.defending to do here. He has looked comfortable at times. Could get

:38:07. > :38:19.found out if they do get through the group stages, the knockout phase.

:38:20. > :38:40.Wilson Palacios. Jerry Palacios, his older brother. A bit of space

:38:41. > :38:43.suddenly for Garcia. Could be an opportunity for Bengston. Rodriguez

:38:44. > :38:47.on the line, denying the Honduras goal. That is the closest a Central

:38:48. > :38:55.Americans have come. Wilson Palacios. Going for the return,

:38:56. > :38:59.Chavez. Goalkick. They cannot have too many more of the chances and

:39:00. > :39:06.keep missing. It was a very simple play forward. A game going behind

:39:07. > :39:09.and making the challenge, Bengston. Excellent play by Rodriguez, the

:39:10. > :39:15.left back, getting back across. Covering for his goalkeeper. Just

:39:16. > :39:20.easy. A simple ball forward. Might have been going wide at the backend.

:39:21. > :39:29.Rodriguez was not to know that. Very good defending.

:39:30. > :39:44.The Wolfsburg man was in the right place at the right time, certainly.

:39:45. > :39:49.That is the problem. You always associate Swiss sides with being

:39:50. > :39:53.defensively sound and found wanting against France. But in the early

:39:54. > :39:57.part of this half, they struggled defensively. They have got attacking

:39:58. > :40:19.options. But at the back they certainly can be exposed.

:40:20. > :40:45.Jerry Palacios. That has been Switzerland's way. Xherdan Shaqiri.

:40:46. > :40:49.Dispossessed by Chavez. Then fouled by the player that originally gave

:40:50. > :41:13.the ball away. Free kick, Honduras. The Argentine official quickly

:41:14. > :41:18.diffusing the situation. It has gone Switzerland's way. I'm sure they

:41:19. > :41:23.would have expected a response. They certainly got it. They have opened

:41:24. > :41:28.up the Swiss defence. We keep going on about the point against France.

:41:29. > :41:36.How badly exposed they were at times. Phillippe Senderos, left out

:41:37. > :41:40.today. He was on the bench. Wilson Palacios is trying to find his

:41:41. > :41:47.brother, Jerry. Out by Olivier Giroud. A rare defeat against

:41:48. > :41:59.France, for the Swiss. Just their second in their last 20 matches.

:42:00. > :42:03.Still in control here in Manaus. Unless they hear about and it could

:42:04. > :42:14.all goal in Rio, they can look forward to the last 16. -- a goal by

:42:15. > :42:19.Ecuador in Rio. Good movement by Mehmedi. He was picked out well but

:42:20. > :42:36.he could not get control of it. Just offside. A good decision.

:42:37. > :42:40.Celebrations cannot begin yet. They have not got out of the group since

:42:41. > :42:43.2006 when they became the first group to be knocked out without

:42:44. > :42:49.conceding a goal. Losing on penalties against Ukraine. The

:42:50. > :42:55.problem against Honduras four years ago, they were not able to score one

:42:56. > :43:00.to get out of the group. Despite as I say having defeated Spain in their

:43:01. > :43:14.opening match. Xherdan Shaqiri. The matchwinner as it stands today.

:43:15. > :43:28.Chavez trying to utilise his pays. Jerry Palacios. -- his speed. Jorge

:43:29. > :43:32.Claros. Once had a loan spell with Hibernian in Scotland, a couple of

:43:33. > :43:54.years ago. Played in the Scottish Cup final as well. 28 years old.

:43:55. > :43:58.Lost against their rivals, Hearts. Robbie Coetzee 6-macro. Making that

:43:59. > :44:07.run from the left-hand side. They have gone ahead of him. -- Von

:44:08. > :44:13.Bergen. Drmic. Going for the near post. Vulnerable and time upfront

:44:14. > :44:19.but out -- in defence at times but outstanding upfront. The angle was

:44:20. > :44:27.slightly against him. He could not find a decent enough strike to

:44:28. > :44:36.really test the goalkeeper. 17 goals in the Bundesliga for Nuremberg.

:44:37. > :44:40.Only two players have scored more in Germany this season. He is only 21

:44:41. > :44:41.as well. They were trying to bring down the age of the Switzerland

:44:42. > :45:01.squad. really beginning to do that. Chav as

:45:02. > :45:13.for Honduras. -- Chavez. Oscar Garcia. Chavez once more. He really

:45:14. > :45:22.drilled that at Juan Carlos to the. It was not a foul on the Wigan

:45:23. > :45:28.player -- Garcia. This is Xhaka, he showed too much of it to Figueroa.

:45:29. > :45:37.Admir Mehmedi. Shaqiri is on the move. He is onside. Admir Mehmedi.

:45:38. > :45:46.There was a man at the far post had he seen him. Denied by Valladares. A

:45:47. > :45:49.hat-trick goal. It was so easy, Shaqiri makes it look so easy

:45:50. > :45:54.because he is such an elegant player. That was a great chance, on

:45:55. > :46:01.his right foot but he cannot find the target. Lovely ball, great

:46:02. > :46:05.movement. He always has his head up and is always looking for options.

:46:06. > :46:11.Great ball played forward and a good save. Via Dare has been tested a

:46:12. > :46:29.couple of times and he has done well. -- Valladares.

:46:30. > :46:37.The referee is encouraging Switzerland to get on with matters.

:46:38. > :46:54.Bengtson. Chavez. He was not expecting that

:46:55. > :46:58.ball but he has got it. It is blocked by Lichtsteiner. It is a

:46:59. > :47:04.corner for Honduras. He has done well, Chavez, since coming on.

:47:05. > :47:13.Looking to get on the ball, and have an impact on the match. He is

:47:14. > :47:26.certainly doing that. In from Chavez. Away by Rodriguez. Then by

:47:27. > :47:28.Inler. Back at the feet of Shaqiri. That was a good challenge by Wilson

:47:29. > :47:53.Palacios. Dispossessed Drmic. Palacios. No foul. But there might

:47:54. > :48:02.be now. What is the Rafa ego to do? Nothing. -- referee. Honduras are

:48:03. > :48:07.furious. He is always susceptible to that ball, he does not have his body

:48:08. > :48:11.shape right. I think that is a penalty. He has gone the wrong side.

:48:12. > :48:23.I think it is a penalty, I really do. Palacios, Wilson to Jerry.

:48:24. > :48:29.Garcia's cross, Beckeles could not get over it. A few times Djourou was

:48:30. > :48:36.caught out. And he was the other night. That is a penalty. It is

:48:37. > :48:40.clearly a penalty. The assistant referee has two help the referee in

:48:41. > :48:43.that position. There is clearly contact. He should have had a

:48:44. > :48:49.penalty and that was a poor decision. There has been a few clear

:48:50. > :48:57.penalty is, in the last two or three days, which have not been given. --

:48:58. > :49:00.penalties. You can slightly understand the Honduras frustration.

:49:01. > :49:05.That is Nestor Pitana, the Argentinian referee, new shakes his

:49:06. > :49:14.head immediately. There is no need for it, it was a glaring

:49:15. > :49:17.opportunity. It was clearly a foul. You just feel if Honduras could get

:49:18. > :49:22.a goal it could make things interesting. They have caused

:49:23. > :49:28.problems and have had two or three good chances in this half and they

:49:29. > :49:32.should have had a penalty. It just shows the little vulnerabilities in

:49:33. > :49:39.the Swiss defence, have they been able to stay in the game they would

:49:40. > :49:46.have been a threat going forward. It is only their third ever experience

:49:47. > :49:52.at a World Cup finals and I am sure that their coach at half-time, Luis

:49:53. > :49:58.Fernando Suarez would have said, don't go out with a whimper. Lots of

:49:59. > :50:04.scouts watching the games. Chavez takes on Lichtsteiner. He was equal

:50:05. > :50:06.to it on that occasion but I am not so sure he was delighted to see

:50:07. > :50:15.Chavez coming on, the Swiss right back. I think he thought that was a

:50:16. > :50:18.foul so he allowed it to run out of play for a corner. It certainly

:50:19. > :50:31.wasn't. Decent tackle from Lichtsteiner. Again, Chavez has been

:50:32. > :50:39.lively since coming on. It is a Honduras corner. It has come back

:50:40. > :50:43.out to Claros and he does not make any contact at all. Now Honduras

:50:44. > :50:49.could be in trouble. Shaqiri. Drmic wanted it. That was a rare heavy

:50:50. > :50:55.touch from Shaqiri. That is not like him in this game. He is so

:50:56. > :51:01.unselfish, as soon as he gets his head up he looks to find the past.

:51:02. > :51:03.He has found Drmic so many times in this game but this time he had a

:51:04. > :51:31.heavy touch. -- find the pass. Inler. He has played in all three

:51:32. > :51:39.matches four years ago, Gokhan Inler. He is waiting to discover

:51:40. > :51:48.whether this year's challenge will go further. The challenge, Jerry

:51:49. > :51:52.Palacios, setting the bench. The coach has come to the edge of his

:51:53. > :51:58.technical area. I have seen this from Honduras players. Over the

:51:59. > :52:01.previous two games as well. Alas else of course was sent off in the

:52:02. > :52:13.first match. That was a late challenge. -- Palacios. Look at the

:52:14. > :52:18.penalty shout again, it was a clear penalty, I think it is a clear

:52:19. > :52:23.penalty, there. As soon as you get the wrong side of the defender you

:52:24. > :52:29.are always in trouble. Djourou has been found wanting today with a

:52:30. > :52:34.couple of those diagonal balls. The same player Jerry Palacios was shown

:52:35. > :52:45.a red card -- yellow card for that challenge. There it is. It is the

:52:46. > :52:55.first of the game. That is brilliant. I saw him the other day.

:52:56. > :53:02.They are enjoying the occasion. The fourth and final game in the Arena

:53:03. > :53:08.Amazonia in Manaus. The urban island in the heart of the rainforest. Not

:53:09. > :53:19.too many obstacles as of yet for Switzerland in this game. They of

:53:20. > :53:26.course have to do their job and wait for events to unfold in Rio. The

:53:27. > :53:29.scoreline between Ecuador and France as it stands means that Switzerland

:53:30. > :53:40.would advance to the knockout stages. Ecuador are down to ten men

:53:41. > :54:10.in that game at the Maracana as well against France. Beckeles for

:54:11. > :54:14.Honduras. Claros. Oscar Garcia. Juan Carlos Garcia. It is an inviting

:54:15. > :54:20.cross. He gets it back across but that was terrific defending from

:54:21. > :54:24.Schar. That was a brilliant ball from Garcia. As we mentioned in the

:54:25. > :54:27.first half he can put really good balls into the box when he gets

:54:28. > :54:33.forward, that was an excellent cross with great shape on the ball. Far

:54:34. > :54:43.post. He just cannot get it back across goal and find his team-mate.

:54:44. > :54:50.I am sure that the Uwe Rosler the Wigan manager will be watching with

:54:51. > :54:53.interest. He may be putting thoughts in his club manager's mind with this

:54:54. > :54:58.performance having been called up for the game. Lots of Hondurans

:54:59. > :55:07.players have come into the Premier League in recent years. -- Honduras

:55:08. > :55:11.players. One or two of them will be looking to give themselves an

:55:12. > :55:24.opportunity at coming to England. Lichtsteiner. No foul.

:55:25. > :55:37.Behrami won it back. Shaqiri. Blocked by Figueroa. That was

:55:38. > :55:42.travelling, too. It was. We saw what he could do in the first half,

:55:43. > :55:46.lovely left foot, they are slowing it down a bit too much, Honduras.

:55:47. > :55:56.They are a threat going forward and they have to get up early. Towards

:55:57. > :56:04.Jerry Palacios. No foul by Chavez. Blocked by Schar and it is a

:56:05. > :56:13.Honduras corner. This is a great ball from Garcia. Swung over to the

:56:14. > :56:26.far post. Bengtson just getting in at the far post. That will be

:56:27. > :56:33.Benaglio's. Thrown straight away for Drmic. He is all alone but he has

:56:34. > :56:57.support arriving. That was a good challenge by Claros. Beckeles.

:56:58. > :57:04.Rodriguez stood his ground. As you rightly say, there will be players

:57:05. > :57:09.enhancing their reputations in front of coaches at this tournament.

:57:10. > :57:13.Beckeles. I have been impressed by him, he is an excellent player and I

:57:14. > :57:17.have seen him playing a number of times and I was looking forward to

:57:18. > :57:26.seeing him play today. He has been connected with Liverpool, too. That

:57:27. > :57:30.is a proposition for Brendan Rodgers's team. Rodriguez with the

:57:31. > :57:38.long ball and Drmic is not offside, Shaqiri is square. Shaqiri is still

:57:39. > :57:46.waiting. Shaqiri for the hat-trick! 3-0 Switzerland! All three from

:57:47. > :57:56.Shaqiri. He acknowledges the part that Drmic played in the third goal.

:57:57. > :58:05.You can safely say that Switzerland have done their job now, hey

:58:06. > :58:08.hat-trick for Xherdan Shaqiri. That is quite brilliant, brilliant

:58:09. > :58:17.movement from Drmic initially, a great ball forward from Rodriguez

:58:18. > :58:24.and he gets one-on-one with Noel Valladares. Drmic's movement was

:58:25. > :58:29.brilliant, it really was. And it was a good finish in the end. A good

:58:30. > :58:36.goal, comfortable for Switzerland. The keeper went down a little early.

:58:37. > :58:42.Noel Valladares. Take nothing away, that is an outstanding golfer

:58:43. > :58:48.Switzerland. -- goal, for Switzerland. They have been accused

:58:49. > :58:51.of being goal shy over the years, Switzerland, but they have produced

:58:52. > :58:57.three outstanding goals in this game. Drmic's movement was

:58:58. > :59:02.absolutely outstanding, coming short, spinning in behind, having

:59:03. > :59:29.half of the pitch to run into. He did not disappoint. A great ball

:59:30. > :59:46.forward. Very difficult for Honduras now. Juan Carlos Garcia. Switzerland

:59:47. > :59:51.are going to bring on Seferovic. He got that late winner, defeating

:59:52. > :59:56.Ecuador in the opening game. He is a straight swap for Robbie 22-macro.

:59:57. > :00:05.Another man with a big reputation. -- Drmic. Bayer Leverkusen next

:00:06. > :00:11.season. He has had a decent day. His movement up front, especially when

:00:12. > :00:14.Xherdan Shaqiri has only been able to find him, a couple of assists at

:00:15. > :00:19.the back end as well, but really good play. His workrate up front is

:00:20. > :00:26.very impressive. I think he has got a big season ahead of him at Bayer

:00:27. > :00:36.Leverkusen as well. He plays for Real Sociedad. Larson 20 minutes or

:00:37. > :00:49.so. They will be really difficult for Honduras. -- last 17 minutes or

:00:50. > :00:54.so. I think overall, I think they were quite poor in the first game

:00:55. > :00:56.against Ecuador. Today they showed their quality going forward. But

:00:57. > :01:04.they are susceptible to the counterattack. He needed to come

:01:05. > :01:09.across here. Mehmedi. Oscar Garcia, Honduras. I'm sure he will be

:01:10. > :01:14.pointing to that penalty that was not given. Jorge Claros. Olivier

:01:15. > :01:21.Giroud with the blog. Honduras have the corner. The big decisions by the

:01:22. > :01:24.referee always change games. If they had that penalty, which I believe

:01:25. > :01:28.they should have done, it could have been a game changer. But take

:01:29. > :01:33.nothing away from the 3-goal Switzerland have scored. They have

:01:34. > :01:40.been absolute quality. Needing some treatment after that challenge with

:01:41. > :01:43.Lichtsteiner. He is a strong man. Really is. He has just bounced off

:01:44. > :01:53.him, Chavez. Hence the delay taking the Honduras

:01:54. > :02:14.corner. Lang is waiting patiently to come

:02:15. > :02:25.on, the Swiss defender. It will have to be after this corner though.

:02:26. > :02:38.WHISTLE It is a deep one. Olivier Giroud is beaten to it. By Maynor

:02:39. > :02:43.Figueroa. Could not make anything of the header. There is no real threat

:02:44. > :02:48.on the header. But looking at his position and where he takes his body

:02:49. > :02:54.angle, losing his run as he does. Good to know that magic spray lives

:02:55. > :02:59.long. Seems a long time since I use that as well. Going back to my

:03:00. > :03:09.schoolboy days! Both teams are making a change. Lang is coming on

:03:10. > :03:15.for Switzerland. He scored the goal against Albania which secured

:03:16. > :03:35.Switzerland's place in the finals. He plays for Grasshoppers in Zurich.

:03:36. > :03:46.Four is the dash. And the --. And the trial is on. They are just

:03:47. > :03:58.shoving him in the phase. Got to be careful. Just quite content,

:03:59. > :04:03.Switzerland, just sitting back. Allowing Honduras possession harbour

:04:04. > :04:13.front. It has been an easy day for them really. -- possession up

:04:14. > :04:18.front. Najar, the substitute. A good save. Webster ground. It was the

:04:19. > :04:29.substitute with his second touch that had the shot. Setting the

:04:30. > :04:35.chance out. Xherdan Shaqiri again. Maynor Figueroa across and he can

:04:36. > :04:44.prevent the corner. He has taken up the mantle of Drmic going off. Good

:04:45. > :05:03.play going forward again by Xherdan Shaqiri.

:05:04. > :05:32.Najar. He needs help here, the 21-year-old. Not able to find Jorge

:05:33. > :05:38.Claros. And here is Inler. Mehmedi. Xherdan Shaqiri. Mehmedi might have

:05:39. > :05:48.a shooting opportunity. Xherdan Shaqiri might have set him up again.

:05:49. > :05:52.Good movement. Again, he just cannot see bodies around him. All the

:05:53. > :05:56.time, he does not see runners. He does not see strikers. A bit of

:05:57. > :06:00.clever movement around him, they could be caught out. We saw that in

:06:01. > :06:08.the French game as well. Not just this game. Now playing for Hamburg.

:06:09. > :06:10.He had a disastrous season in the Bundesliga but survived by the skin

:06:11. > :06:15.of their teeth and winning a relegation play-off. Still a

:06:16. > :06:24.blunders league player. -- a Bundesliga player. Like so many of

:06:25. > :06:40.the Swiss. A foul on Wilson Palacios by Behrami.

:06:41. > :06:55.Garcia. Chavez, lovely piece of skill from him. Surely a goal! Kept

:06:56. > :07:04.out, to deny Robbie second macro. A big, big chance. A good bit of skill

:07:05. > :07:11.from him. -- Bengston. Straight in behind the Swiss defence. A clear

:07:12. > :07:18.opportunity. He should have scored. Having a couple of really big

:07:19. > :07:25.chances. That is headed away by Seferovic. He is off and running

:07:26. > :07:42.here. Being chased by Jorge Claros. It is still 31 macro. -- Seferovic.

:07:43. > :07:46.Good challenge, getting forward. We can see him covering the defender

:07:47. > :07:53.but winning the ball cleanly. A good challenge by Jorge Claros. Michael

:07:54. > :08:01.Lang. Inside the last ten minutes in Manaus now. There is space for

:08:02. > :08:12.Xherdan Shaqiri. Lang. A decent ball. And the effort from Mehmedi is

:08:13. > :08:17.straight out. A game, they should be scoring. Straight at the goalkeeper.

:08:18. > :08:23.A couple of good chances at both ends and the last-minute. Scored in

:08:24. > :08:29.the game against Ecuador. A good chance to make it even more emphatic

:08:30. > :08:36.for Switzerland. There will be some tired bodies and minds in this unit

:08:37. > :08:45.of the out there now. -- in these humid conditions out there now. As

:08:46. > :08:52.it stands, the Switzerland adventure and the managerial one of Ottmar

:08:53. > :09:02.Hitzfeld will continue into another game. After this tournament, the new

:09:03. > :09:11.manager will be the Bosnian that left Lazio in January. Yet to agree

:09:12. > :09:24.a contract with Switzerland. He will be watching with interest as well.

:09:25. > :09:42.Behrami. Spaces and time for Rodriguez. Shaqiri. Closely tracked

:09:43. > :09:48.by Bernandez. Inler from range. Just bouncing right in front of him. They

:09:49. > :09:55.are just taking the sting out of the game. All eyes will be on that other

:09:56. > :10:00.game, Honduras -France. Sorry, Ecuador, France. If they score. It

:10:01. > :10:07.is a big difference. Great movement from him. It really was. This is a

:10:08. > :10:10.chance for Honduras. A slight suspicion of a high boot initially

:10:11. > :10:19.but good skill. A good ball played in. He has got to score, Bengston.

:10:20. > :10:25.He really does. Not so worried about this one, the supporters. They would

:10:26. > :10:27.be worried about a late goal by Ecuador in Rio. That would change

:10:28. > :10:39.the whole complexion of how they are feeling. , yes, it would be

:10:40. > :10:57.interesting. -- Yes, it would be interesting.

:10:58. > :11:06.Wilson Palacios. Chavez has certainly made a difference. Just

:11:07. > :11:16.above Gerry glaciers. -- Jerry Palacios. Seferovic for

:11:17. > :11:28.Switzerland. They now have the throw.

:11:29. > :11:52.CROWD CHEERS Lichtsteiner's fro. -- throw. Xherdan Shaqiri is available

:11:53. > :11:56.and here he is. It is Rodriguez. The flag is up. Would not have counted

:11:57. > :12:02.anyway. Almost overplayed by Switzerland. I think they should

:12:03. > :12:08.have took the shot on first time. Excellent vision again by Xherdan

:12:09. > :12:13.Shaqiri. Just going a little bit too early, Mehmedi. A little bit too

:12:14. > :12:23.early. Again, opportunities in the build-up to get the strike away. Is

:12:24. > :12:37.going to come on for the final few minutes for Switzerland shortly... A

:12:38. > :12:42.stunning strike after just six minutes by Xherdan Shaqiri, really

:12:43. > :12:49.setting the tone. It was outstanding. Going away from goal.

:12:50. > :12:58.Out on his feet. A brilliant goal. This is Jerry Palacios. Bengston was

:12:59. > :13:07.sliding in again. Yes, good position. Hoping to get in on his

:13:08. > :13:10.strike partner's cross. Ottmar Hitzfeld is removing Xherdan Shaqiri

:13:11. > :13:15.with a few minutes to go. And all of the supporters, not just the Swiss

:13:16. > :13:20.but the neutrals as well, giving him a standing ovation. That was the

:13:21. > :13:25.moment after six minutes giving Switzerland a dream start. What a

:13:26. > :13:28.performance. We knew he was a star player in this side. And he has

:13:29. > :13:33.certainly produced. Three brilliant goals today. Whatever he has done

:13:34. > :13:38.and goes on to do, he will remember this day in Manaus in Brazil where

:13:39. > :13:44.he scored a World Cup hat-trick. Yes, outstanding. Full credit to

:13:45. > :13:50.him. Not many players can say that. Outstanding achievement from him

:13:51. > :14:01.today. This player, once of Bolton. Scored against the French in the

:14:02. > :14:12.final few minutes. The hat-trick hero with a big smile. There are

:14:13. > :14:17.opportunities to take other strikes as well. Just the awareness around

:14:18. > :14:22.him. Such a clever player. We spoke before about him in this Swiss side.

:14:23. > :14:33.He has come up trumps today. Brilliant. A privilege to watch and

:14:34. > :14:37.see that first goal going. Yes, it was. You look back and think about

:14:38. > :14:38.world cups and defining moments, they are defining moments, aren't

:14:39. > :14:52.they? expected to be hat-trick he arose,

:14:53. > :14:58.but Xherdan Shaqiri would not have been one name at the top of your

:14:59. > :15:04.list. -- heroes. Messi was taken off early today. He could have been

:15:05. > :15:12.scoring a hat-trick but again, his overall performance, his awareness,

:15:13. > :15:22.Ottmar Hitzfeld recognises a good player and he has seen one or two in

:15:23. > :15:27.his time, hasn't he? It is a moment that boyhood dreams are made of,

:15:28. > :15:31.World Cup hat-tricks in Brazil. The most important for Shaqiri will be

:15:32. > :15:40.to ensure it helps his country into the last 16. Which as it stands it

:15:41. > :15:42.would. Heartbreak if Ecuador were to score in Rio, it is still 0-0 with

:15:43. > :16:10.France. Honduras, their thoughts will go to

:16:11. > :16:22.qualification for the next World Cup and they will try to make history by

:16:23. > :16:26.finally winning a World Cup match. Really, their celebration is just

:16:27. > :16:33.being at the tournament, given their resorts is an size. Can they get a

:16:34. > :16:37.goal to show for their efforts? Beckeles with the cross. Djourou

:16:38. > :16:43.with the header and Honduras have the corner. That was better from

:16:44. > :16:53.Djourou this time. Clearing the danger, taking potential errors

:16:54. > :16:57.away. I think he is thanking Drmic, further contribution that he has

:16:58. > :17:05.made to the goals. Figueroa, from range. You always go back to the

:17:06. > :17:10.Premier League moment, the stunning goal from just inside the half. He

:17:11. > :17:15.is not afraid to have a shot. I have seen one or two of those in

:17:16. > :17:23.training. He has a good left foot and a decent enough strike. Good

:17:24. > :17:29.hands, though, from Benaglio. Three minutes of stoppage time here in

:17:30. > :17:38.Manaus, and then Swiss attentions will turn to Rio. Seferovic.

:17:39. > :17:54.Dispossessed by Claros. Switzerland are three times

:17:55. > :18:02.quarterfinalists. Most of those way back when they hosted the World Cup

:18:03. > :18:06.back in 1954. I am sure that before a ball was kicked success for

:18:07. > :18:13.Switzerland would have been the last 16. Yes, and they were confident,

:18:14. > :18:18.they are ranked sixth in the world. I do not think it has been vintage.

:18:19. > :18:21.I have two say that. They were a bit fortunate to win against Ecuador.

:18:22. > :18:28.And of course they took a thumping against France. Today it has been a

:18:29. > :18:31.much better performance all-round, it has been impressive but there

:18:32. > :18:39.have been moments where they have struggled defensively. Can Honduras

:18:40. > :18:49.keep this up and get just a second goal of the tournament? In from

:18:50. > :19:04.Chavez. Well defended by Schar. Admir Mehmedi for Switzerland.

:19:05. > :19:24.Chavez. Inside the last minute of stoppage time here in the 4-macro.

:19:25. > :19:31.Overhit by Jerry Palacios. -- waffle'.

:19:32. > :19:43.He has played well and made a good contribution in the second half. --

:19:44. > :19:52.here in Manaus. They know that they are almost there. Their stay in

:19:53. > :19:56.Brazil will continue. I can tell you that there was doing around the

:19:57. > :20:05.stadium when Sepp Blatter's picture was on the screen. Full-time here in

:20:06. > :20:10.Manaus, Switzerland have done their job and convincingly, courtesy of a

:20:11. > :20:18.hat-trick from Xherdan Shaqiri. That is what it means for man hits file.

:20:19. > :20:22.Honduras are well beaten. -- for Ottmar Hitzfeld. Now the focus in

:20:23. > :20:32.Group E will turn to the closing stages in Rio to see if they will

:20:33. > :20:42.get over the line. STUDIO: We were treated to the Shakira Recio! --

:20:43. > :20:45.Shaqiri show. Yes, the male version. Under pressure when

:20:46. > :20:49.finishing. His three goals were different. The shining light in that

:20:50. > :20:58.game, you just took over the game. He really did. I was very impressed.

:20:59. > :21:02.He took his goals well, he is predominantly left-sided. His first

:21:03. > :21:06.goal was magnificent, the second goal he stretched his legs and got

:21:07. > :21:11.onto it and with the third he kept it low. Drmic has to take a lot of

:21:12. > :21:16.credit as well, involved in two of the three goals that he scored. The

:21:17. > :21:22.second hat-trick scorer of the World Cup after Thomas Muller for Germany.

:21:23. > :21:29.The 50th World Cup hat-trick incidentally in its history. It is a

:21:30. > :21:30.landmark. One of the better ones you will see.

:21:31. > :21:35.incidentally in its history. It is a landmark. One of Difficult finishes.

:21:36. > :21:38.It all took an element of really finds skill to put it in the areas

:21:39. > :21:43.where he did. He deserves the match ball. His team-mates around him

:21:44. > :21:51.helped him to play as well as he did today. Far better than Honduras. The

:21:52. > :21:55.other game in Rio has come to a conclusion with no goals in that one

:21:56. > :22:03.between France and Ecuador. Smiling faces of course for Didier Gay and

:22:04. > :22:13.his side. They started the day 's top of the group and they will now

:22:14. > :22:18.go through as group winners. -- Deschamps. There was one talking

:22:19. > :22:22.point and we will get to that later. In their game against Switzerland,

:22:23. > :22:29.we asked for Honduras to up their game, really. They needed an early

:22:30. > :22:35.goal and they certainly improved. We spoke about it at half-time. We did

:22:36. > :22:40.exactly what we spoke about, they had to get into areas to score. I do

:22:41. > :22:46.not know why he is diving. Look how low he goes. He could have put that

:22:47. > :22:50.in with the outside of his right boot. I said they should get more

:22:51. > :22:58.crosses in. He was frightened of the contact. As rare as those situations

:22:59. > :23:04.are, you have to be brave. He does the right thing. It is cleared off

:23:05. > :23:10.the line. I think it was going wide. But the defender really committed

:23:11. > :23:15.himself to make sure that it did not go in. Honduras were better in the

:23:16. > :23:19.second half, they were not bad in the first half but they did not have

:23:20. > :23:25.a Shaqiri, Drmic, they did not have a front man with that quality. And

:23:26. > :23:29.the intelligence to really put the ball in the back of the net. They

:23:30. > :23:33.were choosing the wrong options. You get the feeling that it was not

:23:34. > :23:38.going to be their night. A point-blank header at one stage and

:23:39. > :23:42.a decent penalty shout? This is a certain penalty. What is interesting

:23:43. > :23:50.is that it is Palacios playing it into his brother, Jerry. Wilson

:23:51. > :23:56.Palacios plays it to Jerry. He definitely brings him down and it

:23:57. > :24:00.has to be a penalty but watch this, what is interesting is that if he

:24:01. > :24:05.sends Djourou off, if he gives the penalty, sorry, he has two send him

:24:06. > :24:08.off and then Djourou misses the next game because Switzerland were going

:24:09. > :24:18.to qualify so that was in the mind of the referee. To be fair, he

:24:19. > :24:22.should have booked more players. This referee does like to throw

:24:23. > :24:25.cards around, he has history of getting his yellow cards out but

:24:26. > :24:29.today he wanted to let it go and as soon as you let one ought to go and

:24:30. > :24:33.three or four fly in, you cannot start booking people for the same

:24:34. > :24:40.thing you missed. He was missing them from the start. A bit of

:24:41. > :24:43.unnecessary extras from Honduras. Switzerland stood firm. You look at

:24:44. > :24:48.it now and you think they should have got a penalty, they could have

:24:49. > :24:57.scored and change the complexion of the game? Shaqiri completes the

:24:58. > :25:05.trouble? -- treble. Look at Shaqiri, who is marking him? Look at the left

:25:06. > :25:12.of the screen. There is nobody. Nobody marking those two centre

:25:13. > :25:16.halves, there is nobody to mark. He goes past two defenders, you can see

:25:17. > :25:23.the yellow boots and not one of them is marking properly. Honduras at

:25:24. > :25:26.that time, 2-0, the penalty shout a couple of minutes before and they

:25:27. > :25:32.are chasing the game and they are done on the counterattack. Shaqiri

:25:33. > :25:36.celebrating with Drmic because he played a huge part in his hat-trick.

:25:37. > :25:43.Honduras finished the game with quite a few other chances. Getting

:25:44. > :25:47.it into areas where they can cross it. Do not refuse the cross. If you

:25:48. > :25:51.have got big centre forwards and a centre-half getting up there, that

:25:52. > :25:55.is what you expect. It goes in the box again and they almost got

:25:56. > :25:59.another penalty. The keeper makes a decent save. They are creating

:26:00. > :26:07.chances. Just putting it in the area having got into the danger zone.

:26:08. > :26:14.Fantastic save. This is brilliant from Chavez, that is fantastic play.

:26:15. > :26:21.On a plate for Bengtson. It is harder to miss. This is what centre

:26:22. > :26:25.forwards are paid to do, score goals and put it in the back of the net,

:26:26. > :26:31.if you do not do that you have no chance of winning. That is a sitter.

:26:32. > :26:35.It is landing on his head and he heads it into the ground, he takes

:26:36. > :26:41.his eye off the ball and an international striker has two score

:26:42. > :26:48.that. In the second half, putting it in context, only their third World

:26:49. > :26:52.Cup finals. They got this far and they created so many chances that

:26:53. > :26:55.they will be disappointed that they did not get something out of the

:26:56. > :27:01.game because towards the end of the game they did deserve a bit more.

:27:02. > :27:05.Let's confirm what it means in terms of the final group standings in

:27:06. > :27:11.Group E. Their first World Cup goal in three decades but they are still

:27:12. > :27:16.waiting for their first win. They are heading home, Honduras, along

:27:17. > :27:22.with Ecuador. France top the group and they will play Nigeria in the

:27:23. > :27:33.last 16. They certainly in a messy will play for Argentina. Two

:27:34. > :27:36.talismanic for the country, Shaqiri and Messi, they will face each other

:27:37. > :27:42.and they both came to the party today. They are similar in a way,

:27:43. > :27:47.left footed and the way they create things and score goals. They always

:27:48. > :27:53.look to that certain individual to take them forward in everywhere a

:27:54. > :28:00.going on the ascendancy. -- forward in every way. Messi is by far the

:28:01. > :28:04.better player. Thank you for joining us. Switzerland and France can

:28:05. > :28:08.extend their South American stay for at least another few days but it is

:28:09. > :28:13.an early flight home for Honduras and Ecuador. Who will join them at

:28:14. > :28:20.the airport tomorrow? We will show Germany against the United States,

:28:21. > :28:26.will it be Klinsmann? Thanks for your company, tonight, from all

:28:27. > :28:57.others here, goodbye. -- from all of us here.

:28:58. > :29:00... Email: accessibility@bskyb.com.

:29:01. > :29:03.I've applied for 300 jobs, I can't get nothing.
