Back in September, John's cousin and his son came from England to visit and attend the Switzerland-England Euro qualifying soccer (football) match. It was fun to have visitors and the nudge to get tickets to the game. John, C.J., and Brendan sat on the Swiss side, while the cousins joined the England area. When John and boys sat in their seats and started talking, they were asked if they were in the wrong section. I don't think the Swiss fans wanted any England fans co-mingled with them! John was quick to point to their Swiss soccer jerseys and explain that while they did in fact (only) speak English, they'd be cheering for Switzerland. Fortunately, they were allowed to stay! Unlike sporting events in the U.S., you couldn't buy any souvenirs, and there was limited food choice.
