Meet the Team: SWITZERLAND
Now that squads have been announced, we can look more closely into the hotness of the individual teams. I mean, that’s what we’re here for, right? For each team, I’ll talk a bit about the squad, then highlight ten hotties.
Today: SWITZERLAND!
Switzerland, home of precision watches, bad ass chocolate, and a hot soccer team. While they haven’t always had that razzle dazzle, they’re a solid respectable team who have put on a good show so far. Do they have enough to make it into the knock out rounds? Let’s hope so. And let’s mourn that fact that Puma’s kits seems to be better made this year (no ripping)
Team Nickname: Nati, Rossocrociati Fan Chant: Schweizer Nati ole, ole!
Goalkeepers:
Yann Sommer, #1 (home club: Borussia Mönchengladbach))
Yvon Mvogo, #12 (home club: RB Leipzig)
Pick your jaw up off the floor, it’s rude.
Roman Buerki, #21 (home club: Borussia Dortmund)
I mean, I’m concerned for both these guys ‘cause keepers are most likely to get hit in the face.
Defenders:
Stephan Lichtsteiner, #2 (home club: Juventus)
François Moubandje, #3 (home club: Toulouse)
Michael Lang, #6 (home club: Basel)
Manuel Akanji, #5 (home club: Borussia Dortmund)
Nico Elvedi, #4 (home club: Borussia Mönchengladbach)
More like Elf-vedi
Ricardo Rodríguez, #13 (home club: Milan)
One number off what I’m thinking.
Johan Djourou, #20 (home club: Antalyaspor)
His eye-smile-crinkle is insane
Fabian Schaer, #22 (home club: Deportivo La Coruna)
Fanfics talk a lot about “crooked grins” and I found it.
Midfielders:
Valon Behrami, #11 (home club: Udinese)
Steven Zuber, #14 (home club: 1899 Hoffenheim)
Denis Zakaria, #17 (home club: Borussia Mönchengladbach)
Gelson Fernandes, #16 (home club: Eintracht Frankfurt)
Xherdan Shaqiri, #23 (home club: Stoke)
Remo Freuler, #8 (home club: Atalanta)
A perfect hairline.
Granit Xhaka, #10 (home club: Arsenal)
I, a dedicated Tottenham fan, find Xhaka swoon-worthy. That should tell you something.
Blerim Dzemaili, #15 (home club: Bologna)
Mm, mhh, mm, mm, mmh.
Forwards:
Haris Seferović, #9 (home club: Benfica)
Mario Gavranović, #18 (home club: Dinamo Zagreb)
Josip Drmić, #19 (home club: Borussia Mönchengladbach)
Breel Embolo, #7 (home club: Schalke 04)
Literal washboard abs. AND that grin? Unfair.
Well done, Suisse.
