Head coach Pia Sundhage fires up Swiss with clips from men's 2010 World Cup upset
The Switzerland coach, Pia Sundhage, has said that she and her players watched clips from when the Swiss men's team beat Spain in the 2010 World Cup for inspiration before the countries meet in the Euro 2025 quarter-finals in Berne tonight.
Gelson Fernandes scored the only goal of the game in Durban 15 years ago to produce the first shock of that tournament and Sundhage believes her team can repeat the upset.
"We watched that game together because we wanted to share that piece of history with them," she said. "Johan [Djourou, who was part of the 2010 men's World Cup squad and is a member of Sundhage's coaching team] spoke very emotionally about what it was like. Sharing stories brings us together and gives us strength."
The Switzerland defender Noelle Maritz said watching the footage had given her goosebumps. Sundhage did not dwell on the fact that Spain went on to win the 2010 World Cup while Switzerland were knocked out in the group stage, focusing on the here and now and describing the game as the biggest of her career.
