The Swiss meanwhile secured a 1-0 win over Albania. Victory today would almost certainly guarantee Switzerland a ticket for the round of 16 from Group A. But Schaer said his teammates had taken note that coach Anghel Iordanescu's team were unlucky to lose to the French.
"We watched France against Romania, and Romania matched them for the majority of the game," he said. "We know we'll have to up our game to beat them." Goalkeeper Yann Sommer urged his teammates to throw caution to the wind. "One point will not be enough for us to qualify," he said. Romania's Nicolae Stanciu said" "I think we are at the same level," said the Steaua Bucharest midfielder. - AFP
