Swiss Soccer Match Reports

One of my hobbies is watching live soccer matches, and in 1994, I've start writing match reports about them for the Swiss Soccer Mailing List (Whose main purpose is actually to run an elaborate gambling ring).

This page currently mostly contains my own match reports and therefore mostly contains Grasshoppers matches and mostly the home matches among them, but I'll gladly take contributions from others.

Having movied to the United States last year, I don't watch any soccer games at the moment, so don't expect much dynamics here. I still try to keep up with Swiss club soccer and the exploits (or lack thereof) of the Swiss National Team, but I have to get my news from other sites now.
