The Swiss won't win, trust me on this one. I mean, sure, we have some good players like Barnetta and Vogel, but they just aren't world-cup-good. And that's the big trouble of swiss football. They are good, but they just can't compete with the bigger teams.
France is, face the facts, one of europe's top teams. And now you put a team which is mediocre at best against a top team... the result is pretty clear. Also, the Swiss are probably way intimidated by the French, despite the media going "Today we're going to beat France!"
