b'In this episode we are joined by Swiss super fan Luca Loutenbach. Luca went viral following Euro 2020 after the Switzerland National Football Team (Rossocrociati if you will) defeated Les Bleus! But was he always so passionate about the national team and what about his fellow countryman? Luca explains why he became a supporter of the national team, what the football fan culture is like in Switzerland, as well as the Swiss Super League and both his (and his countryman\\u2019s) expectations for the 2022 World Cup. Luca also regales us with some interesting tales about the 2018 World Cup (hint it involves fifa offering free transportation). So if you want to learn why so many Swiss clubs like FC Basel, Young Boys and Grasshopper Zurich produce so many great players like Granit Xhaka, Breel Embolo, Djibril Sow, Xherdan Shaqiri and more than plop some headphones in and enjoy!
