  1. Well, what a crazy 90 minutes that was. Get your breath back, have a swift cup of tea and settle down for the next thriller - Honduras v Ecuador. Head over to this page for the big one.

  2. Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker

    "The French are looking very good. One day, one day I'd like to say that about England."

  3. Switzerland v France

    Can't we just have all the remaining World Cup matches at the Arena Fonte Nova? Sepp Blatter - you have the power. The place is a magnet for goals. That is 17 in the three games that have been held there.

  4. Highlights

    So another cracking game at Salvador's Arena Fonte Nova. You can now watch all seven goals in the Highlights tab at the top of this page.

    Andrew Morris: Incroyable! Pity that sixth for the French didn't count, but wow. Talk about a marker for the rest of the World Cup!

    Mark Marriott: My surprise package continue to impress me. Some cracking football from France tonight. Anything is possible.

    Neale Phillips: Deschamps interesting he has not picked the EPL 'stars' and France look a proper team. Lesson for English football.

    "Its really hard to say how bad Switzerland were defensively, they were a shambles, one of the worst you will ever see at a World Cup. France could have scored seven or eight.

    "The movement and quality up front from the French was fantastic, but Giroud was utterly unplayable."

  7. FULL-TIME

    The Dutch official, with a wry smile, insists that he tooted his whistle before Benzema's stunner flew in. Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps initially looks as though he is going to kick off about the decision, but then remembers his team have just won 5-2. Deschamps breaks out into a beaming smile as France edge to the verge of the last-16.

  8. GOAL?

    Karim Benzema rifles a sixth into the top corner - right as referee Bjorn Kuipers blows for full-time. Is it a goal? Nope, it doesn't stand and Benzema is denied a double.

  9. I'm not believing anymore. The Swiss don't look like finding another way through. France seeing the game out.

  10. INJURY TIME

    Three minutes for Switzerland to grab three goals. One a minute. #believe...

    "This is a weird game! He broke the offside trap, there was a nice little ball through and it was a great finish. Koscielny has to follow him there, but he doesn't.

    "I'm trying not to use the phrase everyone has used but that was schoolboy defending. If you're a tactician you'll be thinking 'what's going on?' but it's great to watch."

    Aston Villa fan Simon, Birmingham: "I know we have signed Senderos on a free...but can we get a refund?"

  13. GOAL

    "We're gonna win 6-5, we're gonna win 6-5!" sing the Swiss fans in Salvador. I'd imagine. Granit Xhaka beats the French offside trap, showing superb technique to blast past a stranded Hugo Lloris. Strong stuff from Granit.

  14. Switzerland nearly grab a second consolation through Xherdan Shaqiri. The portly Swiss winger lets fly from distance, but Hugo Lloris is equal to it. This is their best period of the game.

    Callum J: England take notes, dropping your top player (Nasri) for the overall team style seems to work well!!

    Sunny, Manchester: "As a Man Utd fan watching France I cant quite believe Pogba left on a free, and the club decided to sign Phil Jones when Varane was so close to joining!"

  17. Before the match I said I'd take a 5-5 draw (see 19:57). Anyone for four more Swiss goals in the last six minutes?

    "It is a great hit but it shouldn't get through the wall, its gone through the middle. Benzema lifts his foot, I suspect he will not be in the wall next time, with the look goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has just given him. He'll be having a word afterwards."

  19. GOAL

    He has! And it goes in. Switzerland substitute Blerim Dzemaili trundles a daisy-cutter through the jumping French wall and the ball somehow finds its way into Hugo Lloris's bottom right corner. The French skipper won't be happy with that stain on the copybook.

  20. Switzerland have a free-kick about 40 yards from goal. Have a pop son - you might as well...
