Despite this being very much a match for honour rather than glory, Swiss fans seem to have multiplied the flags draped from windows and balconies - perhaps to spur their team on to a good performance tonight. There's definitely a feeling of what could have been amongst fans here. "We weren't so much bad against Turkey, as unlucky" one fan who was at that game told me.

Many swiss fans let themselves think that portugal might relax as they have already qualified but there is really no chance that Switzerland will get through to the second round.

If optimism is in short supply here in northwest Switzerland then one thing there is plenty of is very good quality fast food. From ten kind of sausages to special swiss doughnuts there are kiosks set up all over town. Perhaps there are even too many, or perhaps it's swiss efficiency, the queues are never very long, even when hundreds of fans descend upon them."
