How did they get there: Along with Austria, they are the joint hosts of EuroCup 08.
Manager: Fat Tony Schmidt. The openly gay 42-year-old from Basle was appointed after the untimely sacking of evil Rutgers.
Captain: Martin Machler.
Euro highlights: None. They were totally crap in their last EuroCup in 1996.
Euro legend: The only bright spot in '96 was the unbelievable pace of their overweight winger Tony Schmidt who stunned the footballing world once again in 2000 after announcing he was homosexual.
Star boy: César Escobar. The controversial winger will bring colour to the competition. Originally known as César Wurns, he changed his name to César Wurns-Herrera after marrying a Spanish singer in 2006, but once again changed his name to Escobar in May 2008. Once shot a football with a .44 Magnum after being dropped for the Swiss squad in the 2006 CSA World Cup.
Strengths: Defence. Machler and Danny Muller provide the brick wall in central defence.
Weaknesses: Temperament. Muller loses his temper often and is prone to red cards. Also César is always whining and is a buffoon for it.
World ranking: 27th. Not bad considering they were 206th at one point in 2001.
Our verdict: If the wonder of César shows brilliantly in this tournament, and especially with the home crowd behind them, Switzerland could get to the quarter-finals.
