What do Swiss football fans sing at games?

[Lady Whistledown]

I was wondering this during the World Cup.

Bearing in mind that some of the population speak German, some French, and some Italian, what songs do they sing at Swiss international games, and in which language? Who decides what songs to sing, and would it offend, say, the French speakers, if the German speakers dominated the singing?

Or are they mostly multi lingual, understanding both?

I suppose in Geneva, most of the population would be French speakers, so they'd chunter on in the appropriate language, and the same for Germans in Zurich, but what happens at away matches, like at the World Cup?

Someone put me out of my state of curiosity!

Edna, I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Come to think of it, how do the belgians chant seeing that the French and Flemish speakers hate each other?

Both? For three languages? Come on Edna, since I met you that day in Wycombe I expect more. And so does NSC.

And there are four major languages in Switzerland, not three. Edna obviously hasn't met any Romansch speakers yet.

I wonder which of the three languages their national anthem is sung in? It would get rather confusing wouldnt it.

Put Belotti on the top
Put Bill Archer in the middle
And then burn a Cuckoo Clock
