The player to follow
The 21 -year -old Hammarby Milieue – and future Wolfsburg player – is a bit like the image of this nati, who will play a euro at home maybe too early to have great ambitions in terms of results. Like a slew of his compatriots and teammates, Smilla Vallotto is promised to a big future, but does not yet have the necessary experience to be decisive during a big tournament. It will rather be called upon to lead, in a few years, an ambitious Swiss team reinforced by all the young players who will have been caught up in the soccer fields in Switzerland by this competition.
When you ask the AI to invent a route to it
At home during Euro 2025, Switzerland achieves a historic route. In a balanced group with Norway, Iceland and Finland, it finished first thanks to a convincing victory against Iceland (2-0) and two solid draws. In the quarter-finals in Zurich, the Nati created the feat against Sweden: after a 1-1 draw, it is the young goalkeeper Elvira Herzog who shines during the penalty shootout, sending Switzerland to the semi-finals for the first time in her history.
In Basel, the Swiss valiantly resists Germany but bowed 0-1. For the small final in Lausanne (sic)they deliver a superb match against France, leading briefly before yielding 2–3 to overtime. Switzerland ends up with a promising 4th place, praised for its courage, its progress and an impeccable national organization.
The motto of the country applied to football
Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro one – Un(e) for all, everything for one(e)
This motto is very modern, footballistically speaking, in fact. She stuck for primitive Swiss, but also for the three musketeers. She can also do it for the ball game nowadays, from Pep Guardiola to Roberto de Zerbi via Marcelo Bielsa, all inspired by the Total ball game of Johan Cruijff … And it is also, with his means, what Pia Sundhage dreams of achieving, with the means of this Swiss team. It may be easier to set up in a few years, when lots of young Swiss will mature.
