Croatia, England and France await a Swiss side devoid of any World-class personnel. Their best hope lies at the feet of Hakan Yakin, an attacking midfielder who can craft out chances and score his fair share of goals. Lady Luck will need to be on their side against the two favourites, so a win against Croatia will be crucial. A lack of pedigree will surely count the Swiss out of contention for the later stages.
