Like their cheese, the Swiss defence is full of holes...

Group A
Switzerland

Odds to win: 22/1
Previous best: Round One in 2004
Gaffer's pedigree: Despite having a name that makes him sound like an 80’s rapper, Kobi Kuhn is being replaced by Ottmar Hitzfeld after the tournament.
He might do alright: Eren Derdiyok. He’s the youngster who scored on his senior debut in February. Though it was against England so it doesn’t really tell us much.
How did he get in? Johan Djourou is the rock at the heart of the Swiss defence. Fancy relying on an Arsenal reserve. Still, at least he has Philippe Senderos alongside him. Oh…
Stick your money on: Journalists and commentators making rubbish puns about cheese and/or mountains.
Wag Watch: Lazio winger Valon Behrami has done well for himself for nabbing model Elena Bonzanni.
If they were a celeb: Charlie Higson. Probably a really dull host.
Obligatory translation feature: “Ist es vorbei schon?“ (“Is it over yet?”)
Prediction: Third in the group.
