Switzerland finally displayed their potential at the European Championship as they won their last group game on Sunday but they ultimately underachieved in their three matches and must now wait to see if they will stay in the tournament.

Certainly the likes of Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri and Breel Embolo are capable match winners -- as Sunday’s double from Shaqiri against Turkey showed. Sunday’s goal celebrations from Haris Seferovic and then Shaqiri showed their frustration, with both players pursing their lips against a solitary finger in a message to their detractors.

Dads Know Nothing About Their Kids In Kimmel Father's Day SurveyApparently, little things like birthdays and allergies aren't that important. Saw it yesterday & I find it a bit mean spirited. I'd really like to know how many incorrect to correct responses they got. The impression they give is that dads-as a group-don't pay any attention to their kids; which is not my experience with any dads *I* know.
