Some daily footie thoughts from Switzerland
Tuesday, 27 May 08, 11:27 AM · Comments(1)
I see The Guardian has decided (probably quite rightly) that Switzerland has
little chance of performing well at Euro 2008. Most of the swiss people I know are relatively realistic about their team's chances with progression through the group stage seen as success.
Anymore more than that is just wishful thinking. 
This hasn't stopped the Swiss media being full of adverts that all have to mention football in some way or another. SBB have a wonderful use of Phillipe Senderos to advertise the fact that the Swiss are European champions of train travel!!!
There is an article claiming that the best football in the world is now played in the Premier League (the swiss obviously didn't see Derby at all last season) even if the national team didn't make it the championships. Of course there are more and more stories regarding Euro 2008 as the finals approach but the headline "Austria will be European Champions" was a little surprising considering their recent form!

The Austrian parody is really funny because they combine actual footage (e.g. of the last friendly against Germany) with a fictitious storyline and specially shot footage of interviews and real TV commentators.
However, this virtual success will be as good as it gets for them.
