On Sunday, Togo's players were threatening to boycott this match over a pay dispute. But it appears that FIFA has averted that. Mainly by telling the Togolese players that if they don't play, they're in a world of hurt. And hell hath no fury than a ticked off Sepp Blatter.
Togo lost its opener to Korea 2-1 while the Swiss played a scoreless draw with France. Korea sits atop Group G with four points and if the Swiss need a win badly. Preferably by at least two goals. If that were the case, the Swiss would be able to clinch a spot in the second round with a draw against Korea, if my math is right.
