As the BBC’s Chris Bevan asks: are Switzerland dark horses of the Euros? (link opens in new tab). What he doesn’t ask is what type of ‘horses’ England are based on their Euros performance to date.
Maybe there’s some comfort in the past record of encounters with England having beaten Switzerland 18 times out the 27 matches played with 6 drawn and 3 lost.
Or maybe there isn’t given that ‘all’ Switzerland had to do to get into the Quarter Finals was beat the current Euros Cup holders, Italy which they emphatically did.
Where they’re similar is that both teams arrived at the quarter final match after they scored an individually brilliant goal as well as, lets say, a regulation one.
And where they’re different is that Switzerland scored their goals either side of half time and let their fans relax and England rather foolishly did it either side of full time and put their fans through the wringer (again).
