Bachmann is one of the breakout stars of the tournament, a compact, but speedy 24-year-old who idolizes Lionel Messi and loves to use her dazzling dribbling skills to drive at opposing defenders. Dickenmann is the veteran midfielder/forward with 40 international goals and another 55 in 111 games with club side Olympique Lyon in France.
And if they’re not enough to give Canada’s back-line fits, the Swiss also feature forward Fabienne Humm. She scored the fastest hat trick in women’s World Cup history with three goals in five minutes in Switzerland’s 10-1 romp over Ecuador in the group stage at BC Place Stadium.
O Canada...
I hope they can do it, Canada displayed a serious lack of firepower in that match I watched them in the other day, drawing Netherlands 1-1.
Switzerland lost to Cameroon and Japan but walloped Ecuador 10-1.
It would be nice to see the host nation stay in it.

Swiss roster, like the men’s team, I do see some of the Former Republic of Yugoslavia types of last names, but not the Albanian type of last names.
