Underwhelming. They've finished bottom of their group in all three previous appearances, but did at least earn their first victory at the ninth attempt when co-hosts in 2008

The Swiss credit rating is fairly high despite the national team having never reached the knockout stage at a European Championship.

They progressed to the last 16 at the 2014 World Cup and their regular starting line-up all play for top-flight clubs in Germany, England or Italy.

Key player: Vlad Chiriches

Assuming they're going to play similarly negative football in France, they're going to be relying on big performances from centre-back Vlad Chiriches. He was a disappointment at Tottenham Hotspur, but Napoli certainly isn't the worst place for him to have landed and attempt to rebuild what was once a thoroughly promising career. Chiriches isn't the biggest of defenders, but his agility and positional play often enables him to escape sticky situations. Against some of Europe's finest attackers, he's going to have to show Spurs what they're missing.
