Le Soccer! Football with London's Swiss fans

Last night, I was supporting the Swiss at London's Swiss Church which is in Covent Garden.

A church isn't the first place you'd think of to watch football, but the Swiss TV was on, and fans had gathered.

It was a remarkably gentle and good-natured affair. The Swiss's good shots were applauded politely, and likewise for their goalkeeper's saves.

• The first Swiss goal was celebrated with flag waving and cheering, with one woman jogging on the spot and yodelling. The second goal was politely applauded, while a few people chanted "Hopp Schwiiz!"
  
  
• My favourite player was Tranquillo Barnetta. More men should be called Tranquillo.
  
  
• This Swiss milk ad made me laugh also.
