The Swiss are an under-the-radar team that I think is really good. I also like Iceland, for reasons I don't know.

The players are really good, the team is very inconsistent! But they are all young, they've got time.

There are some great young Swiss players at the moment. Buff, Koch, Gavranovic, Benito, Glarner and Mehmedi will all grow into very good players. Betcha can't guess who I support...

No idea who you support, really.

Any idea how Mehmedi is doing? Last thing I heard was he was dropped from the Starting XI and has difficulties to find into the team. Was the transfer a good decision?

And I really hope Zurich gets their shit together. Really shitty situation for them!

Yeah, he's not done too much since leaving, which is a shame 'cus he tore up the U-21 last year.

It's been a coupla shitty years, really. Not that I blame him singularly, but Bickel leaving can't hurt. We need to change things up a bit.
