Belgian here, in a kind of similar situation.
How is the national team's perception in Switzerland?
In Belgium people tend to be harsh, but they forget that for 10 years we wouldn't even qualify for any major tournament. 3rd place in WC 2018 was already amazing for a small country
People were quite proud in the past few euros. Especially euro 2020 when we beat france, but also euro 2024 making it to quarters and losing on pens to eventual finalists.For the world cup people were generally happy we qualified, but world cup 2022 was seen as a disaster (lost 5-1 to portugal ro16).
I think people had less high expectations, because we have a decent number of really good players, but unlike belgium we didn’t have any “world stars” KDB, Hazard, Courtois etc.
