Why does no one root for them despite being a small underdog country?
>>156495226it's not a country
>>156495252Older than Argentina?
I'll be rooting for them again Vargentina, but we all know they'll bend over and let Messi rape them
>>156495226They're kinda boring both football and personality wise
No identity, just mercenaries of diffefent backgrounds. Might as well be a football club.
>>156495272it is not a country
>>156495226switzerland is just kind of boringtheyre like mountain germans
i don't have enough money in one of their shady bank accounts to root for them
I bet some money on them against Colombia and I'll bet even more against Argentina. They are unironically a solid team and they never choke. Very strong mind. They don't have any chance against England or Norway though.
>>156495328>and I'll bet even more against Argentina.>VAR has been alerted to this post
>>156495226The Qatar of Europe with better PR
Every fucking time we have a Swiss tour bus stay at the hotel I work at they stay up until 5 in the fucking morning getting hammered, singing drinking songs loud enough to keep everyone up, making a mess, stacking tables on top of each other so they don't have to lower their hand to pick up their drinks, and messing with the house plants. No other country's tours do this. I swear, neutrality has made them conceited and complacent, like children.
>>156495328Switzerland has 0 chance against Riggitina. You'd need something on the level of France or England to beat them properly.
>>156495226Their whole shitck of being "errm were neutral" is so lame and boring nobody cares about them outside the natural beauty of the alps.
>>156495226Don't be so gloomy. After all, it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
>>156495226their kit is ugly and they're too shit
>>156495226Swiss people themswelves are detestable to a level you cannot understand until you've met them.And yet, somehow, the mercenaries they import for their team are even worse.It's so bad, it's going to make me root for Arg*ntina.
I was a fan of their swiss-with-albanian-core in the shaqiri days when they btfod the French apes. Now they're aped and unlikable as well

I’m a sucker for alpine lakes so Switzerland seems like the comfiest place on earth to me.
>>156495226They kind of just... exist. I can't even really recall anything about them besides banking and Toblerone.
Not hateable enough to be a villain but nothing that makes them a hero. They're rich so they don't feel like a scrappy underdog. Easy not to care about them
>>156495802>Swiss people themswelves are detestable to a level you cannot understand until you've met themElaborate, I want to compare notes
>>156495802is there a difference between the german, french, italian swiss?
>>156495226There's nothing "underdog" about a rich core european team full of mercs.
I loved them when they had Shaqiri. I was really into them when I thought Chelsea were going to buy Xhaka. Now I'm just neutral on them
>>156495226The team is full of mercenaries.
they hate us cause they aint us
>>156496120German Swiss are hyper autistic but extremely competent people as a result. They don’t wish to be German, they are proud of themselves.French Swiss are butthurt that they’re not actually French and that every asshole tourist comes through Geneva.Italian Swiss are the most laidback of the three.

I would root for Switzerland but theres not a single player there that deserves to be a World Cup champion. Belgium has KDB, Courtois and Lukaku so im rooting for them.

>>156496474>but theres not a single player there that deserves to be a World Cup championwhat about Norway
>>156495226they are just fodder for Argentina
>>156496557Its about legacy. They are all washed right now, but seeing a "world cup champion" on the "honors" section of De Bruynes wikipedia feels more right than in Remo Freulers.>>156496668I like Haaland and Odegaard, but id still favor Belgium over them.
>>156495226i like them. they've had a pretty solid stream of decent to above average players for the last 20 or so years that seem to do decently on the world stage. yes, they're not particularly exciting, but as a unit they're all solid together.
>>156496783Ok I feel you but I can't condone it for lukaku. He's just too shit. Would rather Fellaini came back and got one kek
>>156495226what a grim fucking description of switzerland

>>156495958Good to see that we have men of culture on /sp/ as well.

>>156495226Because they have no star players, no "storylines", no signature playstyleEven Morocco is more remarkable than you

>>156495226They protect pedophile money
>>156495226All their players are diaspora. I like Xhaka i think hes a great captain but i dont see this team as particularly Swiss

>>156495802Fuck that, I'll support them even if they are boring as fuck. pax europa
>>156495226they suddenly became better than us both in hockey and football so i fucking hate them
I've never met a Swiss person. I don't know what they're like, I don't know what they do.Maybe it's because they are a relatively small population and mostly hang out on french and german containment internet, but they don't really seem to have a presence online.
>>156496474Always knew we could count on you Joao
>>156498394Switzerland is older than Norway
Switzerland are my favorite team besides England, Northern Ireland, Wales, Canada and Netherlands
>>156495226Our team is fucking boring
They're about to get the whole army of argentina haters
>>156498254Not any more diaspora than le soulful ingurland team
>>156495802I live near the border and every time there's someone driving like a mad asshole, someone parked on the flowerbed, or someone in a car crash at night, they are always Swiss nationals.They really see us as a third world country where you can do whatever you want.They drive worse than Italians, and that is an incredible feat.
>>156498568Bus parkers are boring. Switzerland is ok.
>>156498549Norge have got Vikings and Erlingzyou've got numbered accounts and flag of convenience ngubus
>>156498573Actually a lot more because even their whites are albanians or other things
>>156498574They’re like the Americans who call us Yuropoors and third-world dwellers online, but the absolute mad lads say it to our faces irl and act the part.
>>156498549Your meme federation goes back to the late middle ages, Norway is centuries older. You don't have much of an ethnic identity anyways, so you are by default less of a country than proper nations are. Seethe bergjude
>>156495226I root for them because their flag has similar colors and I like their chocolate and their mountains.I would also root for you idiots because whatever still our neighbor but you decided to just drop the ball.
Swiss have insane PR which makes you think they're just funny mountain people who sell watches and jewelry and chocolate. But they mostly launder money and refine blood gold from every warzone in Africa.
>>156498237That’s Norway.
>>156499080Their PR department must be some crazy mind wiping shit because outside of footy tournaments everyone just forgets they exist unless they want to get to France through Austria or there's a pedophile convention in Davos.
>>156498905>>156498260>LuxembourgYou have exactly the same stereotypes foisted on you because you have a big finance sector compared to the country though
>>156498254>All their players are diaspora.More European than your bunch of Ngubus. If England ever wins anything in international football, "its coming home" will mean that its going to Nigeria instead of your sad island.

>>156495252>>156495292The word you are looking for is "nation". Switzerland is not a nation.
>>156495709That quote is so funny because we were basically fighting the Italians' wars for them at that time
>>156499552Switzerland is a genuinely beautiful country. But it's also a bit Truman Show Goes Alpen.
>>156495328>they never chokecolombia vs switzerland is literally the ultimate battle of pecho fríos: special penalty edition
>>156495226They slurp everytime
Boring slurpfest football that's why. Still hope they heem Argentina.
>>156499151Yes, the native Luxembourgers are smug like that too (many of them being extremely overpaid civil servants), but still less than the Swiss whose killer argument is often along the lines of "I’m rich, you’re poor, shut up and go back to your horrible country". I was even told to go back to my country (lol?) by a Swiss in this very thread.That being said, Switzerland is indeed the much superior version of Luxembourg in almost all aspects.
this is so ass
>>156495226I root for them. If only because all the other teams are either relatively big teams or reddit "dark horses"
>>156499329If you want to support muslims from albanian and bosnia go ahead. Rieder and Freuler are the only swiss in their 11. Id love Switzerland to have a full Swiss squad and id love England to have a full English squad. Not sure why this offends you Jiri
>>156495226They could use a star player to attract some attention. But an ethnically Swiss one.They just won the 'last 16 0-0 aet lose on pens' derby so maybe this is them breaking out of their tough to beat but ultimately ineffective stereotype.Anyway, penalty to Messi gg suisse
Switzerland looks like this >>156498373 it's not a meme, it actually does
I like Swiss brosBut after the night club fire and the way our media spun the whole shit, a lot of boomers here lost some good-willThe Swiss asked for the hospital bill for the Italian citizens hospitalized in their hospitals even after all the help we gaveAnd their government has protected the scumbag owners like the mafiaAt least thats the narrative our media has been pushing
>>156500209Alps are a cheatcode, it's not swiss related.picrel is where I live
>>156495521haha that was me
>>156495226Only saw them play yesterday and it was the most boring game, why root for them?
>>156500267great mtb in samoëns
>>156499059>We wuz kangz n shieet, just ignore the centuries we were subjugated to foreign powers wyboyLiteral Albanian tier
Swiss are cool and were somehow based on the political spectrumBut most of their cities are turning into islam shitholes, slowly.They'll be France in 20 years
>>156500247yeah because it happened in valais. imagine your average autist just times five.
>>156499552>doesn't like mountainswhat were you expecting then genius?
>>156499061But they are 1/3 german.
>>156500247>The Swiss asked for the hospital bill for the Italian citizens hospitalized in their hospitalsApparently it was a mistake but I'd be fuming too
The Swiss have all the autism of the Germans, the arrogance of the French and none of the redeeming qualities of either. A beautiful country ruined by the people.
Give me a club to root for then. I like watching West Ham highlights when I can, which club is the Swiss equivalent?
>>156495226Non-countryGaddafi was right about them, but they have had it too good for too long
>>156495226They team is mercs, so they don't feel the shield a bit and never play as soulful as the Norge or Argensimios.
>>156495226Because most of their team isn't Swiss. Better than some, but it's still atrocious. I like them more than England or France for that reason, but that's probably it.
>>156501136>Switzerland is a fake country but somehow Libya is a real one
>>156501104I mean you can just root for FC Thun like everyone here. Its the underdog story of the year. They literally just made super league (the first league) this year and actually won it, absolute cinema.
>>156495304>likeThis implies they aren’t Swiss Germans are obviously Germans
>>156495226Same reason I wont support Engubuland, or Frafrica. Them being shit doesn't make it endearing.
>>156495226They never take anyone's side so why would anyone take theirs?
>>156501195Did I say it is?He’s still right
>>156501245That's.. a pretty fucking good answer desu
>>156501222why do they speak french then?
>>156496186What about Romansh speakers?
>>156501274They do?
>>156495226Opportunism hidden as neutrality. You dont get to be neutral when Nazis are taking over Europe, they're honestly not getting nearly enough flack for having no values beside money
>>156501330MemeProbably even chiller than Italians if they exist, most outsiders probably confuse them anyway
>>156495521>>156498574That's interesting to read. The stereotype I had of them was that they were anal retentive and would get mad at you for flushing the toilet past 10 pm
>>156495252Neither is Israel but Argentinians root for them.
>>156498574>>156495802I've met plenty of them as well, when travelling, they have this kind of, what I can only describe as, "frat boy energy". The Dutch have it too but I can at least get on with the Dutch, the Swiss have this strange arrogance that just makes them awkward people to be around.
>>156501446My only experience interacting with a group of Swiss people was seeing try to hit on a bartender in Taiwan , refuse to pay after getting rejected, then pulling the fire alarm on the way out
>>156495226No one likes banias.
>>156501368Didn't you open your legs too you shitskin frenchoid
>>156499059Ahh the ethnic identity of LARPing as vikangz when it was sweden and denmark that did all that, and speaking a hillbilly version of swedish that you claim is a different language (smaller difference than swiss and hochdeutsch). The north macedonia of the nordics
conscription-less countries shouldn't even bother saying we have no national identity. the amount of arabs etc itt whose only identity is religion should shut the fuck up.
>>156501399yeah in their countryabroad they are masters
>>156498574I've heard those are just italians with swiss plates going back to Italy
You're like the smiling guy that never upsets his neighbourhood, keeps his garden superclean and helps old ladies cross the road, but has 4 dead people chopped up in the freezer
>>156501330They populate like 10 villages and thats it. They are very rare. I personally never met one. Their language is supposedly the closest to the old latin the romans spoke.
>>156502233You shouldn't bother arguing with people that can only define their national "identity" by the color of their skin or some thousand years old dogma.
>>1565022935 if you keep talking like that
>>156500267even the german side is great... albeit to lesser degree
>>156495291Their identity is Bundesliga Look at the starters vs Colombia Embolo - 6 seasons in Bundesliga (Borussia Mönchengladbach & Schalke) Rieder - last 2 seasons BundesligaXhaka - 6 seasons in Bundesliga (Borussia Mönchengladbach & Bayer 04 Leverkusen)Akanji - 5 seasons Bundesliga (BVB)Elvedi - last 11 seasons Bundesliga (Borussia Mönchengladbach)Ricardo Rodríguez - six seasons Bundesliga (VfL Wolfsburg)Zakaria - 5 seasons Bundesliga (Borussia Mönchengladbach)Kobel - star keeper for BVB
>>156495226cos they are somehow more boring than even Colombia to watch
I've never met a Swiss person I didn't like. But I don't like Swiss cheese.
>>156502695I really don't think its that bad this cup, I really liked the performance verse Algeria. Yea vs Columbia was a gigaslurper but there were reasons for that.
They have my support against Argentina since it would be funny to see them win, but I am a chauvinist when it comes to football heritage. Switzerland winning a World Cup or just coming close doesn’t feel right, and this team in particular isn’t impressing anyone in my opinion, neither in terms of actual quality nor when it comes to evident mentality. Also, like many others, I cannot fully think of them as „real“ SwissRegarding the country itself: I envy Switzerland for many things, but I don‘t really like this country existing. It is a beautiful place and it functions, but personally, I have a different concept of what a nation should be at its core
>>156502887>I am a chauvinist when it comes to football heritage.Who has better recent football heritage than the Swiss?2010 FIFA World Cup: Group Stage vs. SpainDate: June 16, 2010Location: South AfricaSignificance: Switzerland pulled off a monumental opening-match 1-0 upset against eventual tournament champions Spain.UEFA Euro 2020: Round of 16 vs. FranceDate: June 28, 2021Location: Arena Națională, BucharestSignificance: In one of the greatest upsets of the tournament, Switzerland fought back from a 3-1 deficit to tie the game 3-3, eventually knocking out the reigning world champions France 5-4 in a penalty shootout.2026 FIFA World Cup: Round of 16 vs. ColombiaDate: July 7, 2026Location: BC Place, VancouverSignificance: After a grueling 0-0 draw, Switzerland overcame a tournament penalty "curse" to win 4-3 in the shootout. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel made the decisive save, advancing the team to their first World Cup quarterfinal since 1954Switzerland have now reached the quarterfinals at three of their past four major tournaments, only failing to do so at the 2022 World Cup when they were eliminated in the round of 16.
All the matchups they've played have sort of been the sleeper games between teams that nobody thinks has a shot of going anywhere. Their last game before yesterdays didn't even get a sticky, and they already played Argentina in the groups and got relatively blown out. Yesterday's game wasn't bad though
>>156503045You guys are retardedYesterday was their worse gameThey beat Bosnia 4-1 and outshot them 13-4 (who USA only scored two again, and Bosnia outshot the US 11-9)They beat Canada (out shot them 12-6) which is how Canada lost homefield advantage

Then there's Andorra but it it a literal fake country that depends on Spain and mostly by the French president.
>>156505372>Benelux>tax paradisesi wanna shoot whatever drug you just used

>>156505399Netherlands hard taxes the Dutch but is a top destination for every holding and corporation, they always divide their financial HQ and legal HQ wherever it's better to avoid paid taxes at home.Now Lombardy and Milan is doing the same but for singular richfag individuals having their residence there, if someone wondered why Milan is now a fenced fortified billionaires island surrounded by third worlders where no local Italian is safe. Or how the euro luxury brand corp lobbies have business with our governments to avoid extra taxes and shit, another trick is setting the residence or business activity in some Swiss forgotten town in an empty apartment or office and never be seen by the neighbors pretending to live there just to avoid our taxes.
>>156505571>Netherlandssure but you are using 'BENELUX' looselythen exclude belgium, companies hate usOdoo warned they would leave belgium if the retards went through with more taxes

>>156504475Switzerland is really lax on graffiti in certain areas and there is a pretty sizeable writer scene with some train yards being semi-controlled by some crews, at least that’s what I've seen about 8 years ago. Its just not very violent or confrontational so you rarely hear about it.
>>156495226They are fine I guess.
>>156507231that's not graffiti, that's some crayon drawings one day after some faggy student protests and that will be kärchered the next day. Though I like the graffiti you can see coming in and out from train stations.
>>156507508I know and thats the graffiti I'm talking about. It was more of a reply to the other anons replying to that post. And obviously shit like that isn’t really tolerated thats why I said in certain areas - more rundown peripherals or old industrial quarters and infrastructure like stations or bridges - but you wont find a lot of graffiti on for example old neighbourhoods or city centres. However you still get some illegal ones on passenger trains or at places they shouldn't be but that’s just the downside of having an active scene I guess.
>>156507508>faggy student protestskek
Swiss people have some of the worst French i have ever heard. I have no clue what the fuck they are saying
>>156509577What are you talking about retard? The Romands speak the most comprehensible french. Meanwhile you Quebecois inbreds sound like Amerifats trying to speak french lol
