From their footballing pedigree to their favourite food, find out about the countries heading to Portugal.

Footballing legend:

Anybody who's name begins with Stephane and ends with Chapuisat.

Dish of the day:

This is what fondue heaven would be like

Say cheese and a lot of Swiss people would say "yes please", especially when it comes to fondue.

This is a dish made out of molten cheese. Bread is then dipped into the mixture and eaten.

It is generally very expensive to go out to restaurants in Switzerland, which is probably the reason why the country folk tend to actually make use of their fondue sets, instead of treating them like unwanted wedding gifts as we do over here.

National treasures:

Switzerland has produced tennis stars Martina Hingis and Roger Federer, the Swiss guards who protect the Pope and Swiss-educated Albert Einstein, the man responsible for developing one of the most important scientific theories.

But when it comes to real genuis, Einstein is made to step into the shadows of Mont Blanc to make way for chocolate giant Toblerone.

Scientists and normal folk alike have been left baffled as to how it's possible to stuff a piece of Toblerone into their mouths without looking ridiculous.

As yet there is no answer.

Eurovision pedigree:

Dion says "francs for the memories" to the Swiss

Here's one for the pub quiz:

Q: Who won the first ever Eurovision Song Contest in 1956?

A: Of course, it was Lys Assis with the all-time classic, Refrain.

And here's another pub quiz question:

Q: Which famous female singer helped Switzerland to Eurovision victory in 1988 with the song Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi?

A: It was none other than French-Canadian chanteuse Celine Dion.

Dion took up residency in Switzerland in order to enter the competition and then hopped off back across the Atlantic to record songs such as Think Twice, Falling Into You and My Heart Will Go On - which tugged at the heartstrings of millions, made her millions and made millions of others sick.

National dress:

Switzerland is full of rich people who wear rich people's clothes - Gucci, Armani, Versace etc.

There are also still a few people up in the Swiss Alps who live in "Heidi" world.

Not necessarily because they want to, but because it keeps the tourists' francs streaming in.

Magic moment:

There was once a time when the Swiss national side were one of the most feared in the world.

That, however, was more than 50 years ago.

The Swiss won the silver medal at the 1924 Olympics and reached the last eight of World Cup in 1934, 1938 and 1954, when they hosted the event.

Although their magic moment, at the 1954 World Cup quarter-finals, was not strictly magic for the team, it must have been something special for the crowd watching.

They faced Austria for a place in the last four. And in a competition that had already seen Hungary beating South Korea 9-0 and then Germany 8-3, it was only right that the Austrians and Swiss chipped in with a 7-5.

At least Switzerland bowed out in style.

Nightmare moment
