Why It Matters
"Hopp Schwiiz" (Come on Switzerland) is the Swiss national football battle cry, used in all four official languages depending on which canton the fans come from — German speakers say "Hopp Schwiiz", French speakers say "Allez la Suisse", Italian speakers say "Forza Svizzera". Switzerland's neutrality ends the moment kickoff begins.
