Does Wales tournament hinge on the first game?

[Swiss Peter]

One foot in each camp here - Swiss father and Welsh mother. Bigger foot (by some distance) in the Welsh camp, but I get annoyed seeing the Swiss underestimated - although I admit that they have often been billed as the 'next big thing' and usually flatter to deceive at the big tournaments.

Anyway, must go and get my feet sorted out

They've been to every World Cup since 2006, missed one Euros since 2004 and qualified from their tournament group in four out of the seven events they've been too. We know how easy it is not to qualify so I'm not underestimating them.

But we also play Turkey in Baku, basically a home game for them, and Italy in Rome. There's something to be said about Switzerland at a neutral venue in comparison.
