Hey jasperaldo,
the last time he played a full game was in a friendly against the States in October 2007.
He has played a couple minutes in the other games. I must say I wasn’t impressed by him during the England-Switzerland friendly.
I think Kuhn should have kept Eggimann instead of him but then again we’ll find out.
