		Having been to "hell", as Istanbul's more extreme football supporters like to dub their city, and back to clinch their World Cup berth, the Swiss are unlikely to surrender easily once the finals get under way.
		With that in mind, this World Cup may turn out to be a stepping stone to greater things, though Kuhn and his team would clearly not mind if success comes earlier than planned.
