The defeated will say goodbye to almost Euro, which makes the match a final. Garnish tension are serious incidents of 2005, which did not appear forgotten

The coanfitriona Switzerland faced with the high voltage shock tomorrow. After a defeat that could be described as undeserved before the Czech Republic, men 'Kobi' Kuhn will be played on everything to avoid being eliminated from competition at their first exchange.

But the Swiss should not only deal with Turkey, since it seems that the problems will conjure up for hardening the way.

The two penalties that did not pit them in the opening match were a burden, is also a major problem and it remains the health of the wife of screening, hospitalized for more than a week for epileptic seizures, but things do not end there.

To make matters worse 'Kobi' has lost the respect of his squad, its maximum and more experienced gunner, Alexander Frei, who has left the tournament after breaking the tendon in his left knee.
