No one is talking about Switzerland being potential finalists even winners. Now that Belgium have become every man and his dog's favourite dark horses they are, well, no longer dark horses but now acknowledged contenders imo.

SWITZERLAND have really improved over last 3 years, qualified with ease, have had some decent results against challenging opposition, unburdedened by expectaction, have no big star names yet a decent ego- free, injury safe squad and have an 'easy' WORLD Cup group and are now no. 6 in recent FIFA Rankings. The main weaknesses is probably cental defence which have made shocking mistakes but have got away with it and they tend not to let in that many goals tbf.

How realistically could they do what Greece and Denmark doin the EUROS within the 18 years past and shock by quietly getting to the final and win. I spotted Atletico Madrid's final potential in December for CL and Borussia Dortmund the year before but sadly it didn't end well. I hate going for the obvious Brazil, Spain and Germany teams
