Meanwhile, Neymar's recovering from his injury, right? Afraid his nerves could not take the strain, he initially swore not to watch the game.

He cannot believe the news and immediately attempts to find the hidden camera filming what clearly must be a prank.Video: Youtube/Queen Official I Want it all
Giving up is not a character trait typically associated with the Germans. Hence André Schürrle's goal, putting his side 6:0 ahead.Video: Youtube/Queen Official Let me Live

Im Sommer hat Cedric Itten die Berner Young Boys verlassen und sich Fortuna Düsseldorf angeschlossen. Mehr Spielminuten in Deutschland sollen helfen, den Traum von einer Endrunde mit der Nati zu erfüllen. Nun ist er für die Spiele gegen Kosovo und Slowenien erstmals nach zwei Jahren zurück in der Nati.
Seine Quote ist beachtlich. Das war sie immer schon im Dress der Schweizer Fussball-Nationalmannschaft. Zwölf Einsätze, fünf Tore, zwei Assissts. Die Zahlen sprachen eigentlich für Cedric Itten. Und doch hat es zwei Jahre gedauert, bis er sich wieder über ein Aufgebot von Nati-Coach Murat Yakin erfreuen durfte. Im Oktober 2023 gegen Belarus war er letztmals dabei. EM-Qualifikation. Letztes Spiel.
