Alright folks, here’s how I dug into the England versus Switzerland win stats today. Woke up kinda curious after remembering their game was coming up soon. Kept wondering, “Who usually comes out on top between these two?” Just decided I’d nail down the actual numbers properly.
Started simple. Just grabbed my laptop, fired up Chrome – nothing fancy. Typed in “England vs Switzerland historical results”. Boom, tons of pages popped up. Felt kinda overwhelming at first, honestly. Clicked a few top links, but some were full of ads, others seemed to talk about everything except the actual win counts. Kept seeing random articles hyping the next match, mentions of players, but not the pure head-to-head wins I wanted.
Okay, time to get smarter about it. Changed my search to “England Switzerland all matches record”. That made a real difference. Suddenly, actual football stats websites showed up higher in the results. Much better. Scrolled past the preview stuff on a few sites looking for dedicated “Head-to-Head” sections. Hit some gold with a couple of dedicated football database sites. Cross-checked the numbers between two of them to be sure. You know how dodgy the internet can be.
Once I found solid sources, I needed to make sense of the numbers. It wasn’t just about wins, right? Needed losses, draws too, and maybe when they last played. Sat there scrolling through lists of past matches, from way back in 1933 up to their last meet-up. Started jotting down the wins for each side on a piece of scrap paper. Counted England wins… then Swiss wins… then checked the draws separately. Took a few minutes, counting carefully.
Here’s what those numbers actually showed me when I put it all together:
- England Wins: Counted ’em up – 11 wins against the Swiss.
- Switzerland Wins: Got 3 solid wins for them. Fewer than I expected!
- Draws: Found 5 matches where they just couldn’t beat each other.
- Total Clashes: Added wins and draws – came to 19 times they’ve faced off internationally.
- Last Showdown: Double-checked the sources – they last played a friendly back in 2022. Ended with honours even.
Big takeaway? England’s clearly got more wins, almost four times as many! But hey, those draws pile up too. Also spotted a funny thing – some stats include that silly friendly in 1981 where a different Swiss squad showed up. Left that one out for the core numbers, seemed only fair.
Finished off by throwing the England wins vs Switzerland wins vs draws onto my blog page. Easy to read. Felt pretty satisfied getting it sorted. Digging through stats like this makes you realize England should be confident based on history… but we all know how that confidence sometimes plays out! Anyway, that’s exactly how this little research trip went down.
