It's a very good selection. I'm very happy for Zesiger's first call-up, he really deserved to be there. The only player that is missing is Cedric Itten, i would have called him.
2-1 win over Greece but only 3000 in the stands! Shaqiri and Xhaka are both out with positive COVID tests.
For the match againt Italy there will be Xhaka and Freuler injured in the midfield. I hope that Aebischer will have a chance this time.
Another player that is missing is Miro Muheim! With Benito injured, he should have been called, he is a better wingback than Ulisses Garcia!
2-0 over Northern Ireland. Not too bad. Lithuania today. They should be even with Italy on 14 points and 6 matches played after today.
Swiss get : Brazil Serbia Switzerland Cameroon The Serbia match should be a very interesting one. I think that Swiss can get out of that group.
Greetings from Canada my Swiss friends am posting here to get your help to continue a project of previewing each World Cup team with the help of a fan from each country. Have done 5 so far https://kylewest.substack.com/publish Will prepare writeups for each one with posts here on the ideal starter and subs bench and then record a podcast to talk through the roster. Here are the first five here, have a listen and message me if interested. 1-Argentina 2-France 3-England 4-Netherlands 5-Brazil
Ouch, yesterday was really bad. Looks like the Swiss will be relegated to B in the Next Nations League. They would really need to get points from all remaining matches to avoid relegation.
Nation's league 24 Sep at Zaragoza vs Spain 27 Sep in St. Gallen vs Czech Republic To stay in the top League, they need at least 4 points with some help, and 6 would be amazing. Mario Gavranovic has retired from the National Team. Lots of friction between him and Yakin.
Well. Switzerland grabs three points in Spain. Now they need to get something from Czech Republic at home.
2-1 win keeps the Swiss in the top League for the Nations League. Sommer with a PK save to make the win possible.
As a neutral observer I have Switzerland entering the World Cup in Qatar among the dangerous teams. They can beat anyone on their day as numerous times proven. I put them in 12th. Here my entire grade list of all 32 teams. #Post 1509 https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/2022-fifa-world-cup-friendly-matches.2120177/page-61#post-40847034
They could also lose to just about any team on a given day. It will be interesting to see how things progress. The match with Serbia is going to be very tense.
Not really sure a 2-0 loss to Ghana inspires me. I know they had 6 subs in the 2nd half, and that is when the goals were scored, but still.
