Season Showdown
FC Basel triumphed.
2-0 over close rivals Young Boys. 38,015 spectators showed up for the thrilling ending to a very spectacular championship.
Yet the final held very little suspense, since Basel was already 2-0 up after 23 minutes with goals by 19-year old Stocker (a great talent) and Streller.
Christian Gross’ (Basel coach) nightmares following the 2006 […]

Degen and Liverpool, a dream or more?
For those whose thoughts are football-centred 24h a day this piece of news might be no surprise.
Yet for us proud Swiss folks (ok, I’m Dutch, but I still consider myself from Schwiiz) the recent news that Degen is going to taste the emotions of Anfield on a free transfer from Borussia Dortmund comes as […]

Switzerland - Germany, first half thoughts
Definitely an unfair score. As Switzerland’s pressure on Germany was growing a pretty fortuitous goal was scored by Klose. Quite against the run of play.
Lichtsteiner, Behrami and Inler were probably the best Swiss players on the pitch. The right flank is strong and provided the best offensive moves. On the opposite side Spycher and […]
Frei is back!
His last game with the Nati dates back to the 25th of March 2007 in a 3-1 defeat to Colombia (awful game, I had gladly forgotten about it) but a series of injuries (most serious being a hip injury) kept him off the pitches until last February and has played 5 games since providing 4 […]
The El-Hadary Case
Many of you know about that crazy Egyptian goalkeeper sitting on the crossbar and moving to the rhythm of the excited crowd!
Many of you remember him for his incredible saves and his well-deserved African Cup of Nations Trophies.
Now Egyptians and Swiss know him for the strange case that has taken place these past weeks. […]

German Switzerland vs Italian Switzerland! Bellinzona is a surprising team: firmly […]
