Hop Schwyz Canada

Of course, our hearts belong to the Swiss national team at the World Cup. Matter of respect. But there is still plenty of room for the other team in one corner of the heart. That’s it for us in Qatar: Underdog Canada.

Follow me

Italy has a long history of being the favorite team of many Swiss people. But the “Squadra Azurra” is missing at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar (which includes Switzerland, but has Qualification group, in which both teams won,

So who should be the second team after the Swiss national team? For whom should we cross our fingers?

For us at Watson, the matter is as clear as it is Qatar: the sun sets over the desert sands of Canada.

For many years, our Canadian video editor Emily has been bringing us closer to the differences between the two countries. And with her video in the series «Emily National» It also meant that a geography teacher could teach us more than we Swiss had learned about Canada.

in return he learned to play jassy play alphorn And Schwezertush. Some even claim that Emily is better understood now Our home Wallace Sergio. This is certainly an open lie and we would never dare criticize Wallacean in relation to the football world event. it’s at the end quite possible It is almost certain that one day Sergio will become FIFA President.

Because Wallace is still – I insist: still! – No World Cup team (Wales Wallis), it was Canada. Not only can we give something back to Emily with our support, but we can also say thank you many years later for Celine Dion’s victory for Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest. That was in 1988 and the much earlier singing competition was still called “Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson”.

Will Canada become world champion in Qatar? Simply put, its chances are quite slim. Others will say: Absolutely impossible. Belgium, Croatia and Morocco are the opponents of Group F in this order.

But faith can move mountains. And many of them are not only in Switzerland, but also in Canada. Maple Leaves may not have the ability to leave Qatar with the World Cup in hand. That’s why they are outsiders of our hearts.

So we will always take a look at our other team before and during the tournament. FC Basel’s Canadian national player Liam Miller explains in an interview how the team would like to appear. Former Canada national player Daniel Imhof, who spent a long time with FC St. Gallen and VfL Bochum, shares his memories for us. We introduce the most important players on the team – and of course we cheer with Emily.

This is why so many of us scream as schoolchildren in the school yard: Hop Schwyz Canada!
