Whoever wrote the banner raised an interesting point. With more than 174,000 football-loving Portuguese immigrants living in Switzerland, any match in this region is tantamount to a home game for Luiz Felipe Scolari's swashbuckling side. If they continue to get behind their team as they did against
Turkey, their route to the final will be made an awful lot easier. "It's just like being back home," said captain Nuno Gomes. "From one perspective, having so many
fans here has really helped us to relax and feel at home; from the other it has made us realize just how much winning this tournament means to the supporters. The expectation is huge but we know we will deliver."
