The Togo circus rolls on .......

Togo missed their flight to Dortmund yesterday, yet another protest by the players, relating to bonus payments. FIFA stepped in and guaranteed the newly agreed sums and the squad caught a later flight.

The coach is planning to sue a Togo official, who has claimed he is an alcoholic, read elsewhere that he is teetotal ! What a mockery. Today they are without their influential captain, Jean-Paul Abalo ( the defence went to pieces after he was sent off against South Korea) and fellow defender, Assemoassa.

Switzerland are a much better side and should win today, a victory by two clear goals will mean they can qualify with a draw in the final group game. They will be keen to prove that they know more than how to defend and I take them to cover the asian handicap.

4 points Switzerland -1.25 goals 2.12 asian line.

Good Luck.
