What about the Swiss?

Wow, there I am in the south of the Provence without a TV in our house (so we watched the 2-2 of France in Romania in a fancy restaurant) and what happens? The Swiss win. Twice. First they win at home against Lithaunia, then the team of Othmar Hitzfeld scores big in Athens with a 2-1 against Greece. Still way to go for the qualification for South Africa 2010, but looking better now.
Not so in the European leagues, where all Swiss teams but FC Basel (in the champs league) dropped out without even the slightest chance for qualification and the FC Basel has not yet won a single point in its three matches against Donetzk, Sporting and Barcelona (two games were lost at home, the last one with a brutal 0-5 against the artists from Barcelona).
Hard times for Swiss club football and a loss of points in the European club ranking. Not very enthusiastic.
