Poll: Why is Switzerland out of Euro 2008?

The poll you found below appears on 20min.ch, the website of Switzerland’s biggest free newspaper (in german, french and italian).

At the end of the poll, I will publish the results that appeared on the original website.

Some statistics:
3 goals (all by Hakan Yakin, including one penalty)
45 total shots (first in the standings, followed by Portugal with 43), with 23 on goal, 1 less than Portugal.
66 fouls committed, 70 suffered.
8 yellow cards, second only to Turkey with 10.
17 corners, first together with Italy.
8 offsides, in 4th place.
8 saves, way behind the Czechs with 19.
49% average ball possession.

Which is the main reason for Switzerland’s early exit?

I’ll blame it on losing Frei and poor refereeing in the first match (missing that blatant penalty)

I think losing Frei was huge. Switzerland looked a lot more threatening in the first half of that first game before Frei got injured.
