7.6 million Germans watch Swiss national team
A market share of 34.8 percent was achieved, according to Horizon.net the Swiss match against Romania in Germany. That's one million viewers less than at the 6 p.m. match the day before - Austria, a German-speaking neighbor of Germany, also played there. Significantly more Germans watched the subsequent match between the other two group opponents, France and Albania: With a total rating of 12.44 million viewers, France's nail-biting victory achieved a market share of 45.6 percent. Despite the high proportion of Bundesliga players, the interest of the northern neighbors in the Swiss national team seems to remain within manageable limits - which is probably not least due to the fact that the Swiss have not yet attracted attention with their particularly attractive football.
