Not enough to get them through, though.
It was excellent but also off side
The second the Swiss number 7 moved his head out of the way of the ball he was interfering with play and therefore offside.
Unfortunately the officials are given too much discretion on the rule, probably necessitated by the stupidity of it, that they often don't fully appreciate the 'interfering with play' breech.
Still Poland went through so I suppose it's all academic
Yep, the Poles deserved the win in the end.
The other 2 games were shockers, the first more so because they are two ordinary sides but expected a lot better from Croatia and Portugal although I'm happy the Croats are out
