How has Switzerland - a small country, where football remains merely a popular sport rather than an all-consuming behemoth - transformed its nondescript World Cup pedigree into top seed status? Some commentators have cited cynicism, claiming that the Swiss have manipulated the Fifa rankings by playing fewer friendlies than other nations, against only modest opposition, to avoid diluting the competitive results they achieved in a weak qualifying group.

Despite its strong self-image of probity, Switzerland is certainly a country prone to pursuing its interests by pushing global rules to breaking point its banking sector, notoriously, has long strained the letter, let alone the spirit, of money laundering laws and other countries tax codes. But it is unfair to accuse the Swiss Football Association of such sharp practice because the 10 friendlies it has arranged in the last two years (only one less than England) have included fixtures against Brazil, Argentina and Germany, as well as away trips to Holland, Croatia and Greece.

The real explanation for the Swiss success in improving their footballing status lies in their much more admirable traits of thoroughness and commitment to quality. Nowhere are these characteristics better demonstrated than in the national football coaching structure. The philosophy behind the system is encapsulated by the Nati coach, Ottmar Hitzfelds observation that Germany has over six million registered footballers so they can afford to lose a few, whilst we have only 200,000 and have to make sure every talent reaches its potential.

The Swiss are achieving this objective through a coordinated coaching programme that reaches all the way down to the youngest kids at the smallest village clubs. Even the humblest parent-coaches are required to attend annual training courses held over intense, long weekends, or spread over several weekly sessions. They are also equipped with detailed, innovative and regularly updated training plans that make every session fresh, fun and focused on developing skills and game awareness. The most promising youngsters are frequently assessed and given extra coaching at elite regional centres, which are often based at professional clubs but never dominated by them.

The strongest evidence that the coaching structure is succeeding came in 2009, when Switzerland won the Under-17s World Cup a tournament for which they had never previously qualified. Several of that team have now graduated to the full national squad, including striker Haris Seferovic and midfielder Granit Xhaka.

Those atypical Alpine names provide a clue to the second reason for Switzerlands phenomenal improvement: immigration. The Balkan wars of the 1990s provoked a large influx of Yugoslavs into Switzerland. Their arrival coincided with the revamping of the national coaching scheme and their children bolstered the raw material available to it. As a glance down the Swiss squad list shows, these kids are now coming of age and making an impact, notably the former FC Basel, now Bundesliga-based, pair of Xherdan Shaqiri and Xhaka, both of whom were born in the same Kosovan town of Gnijlane before being brought to Switzerland as toddlers.

Rather than cynicism, Switzerlands story is a virtuous update of the enduring script for international footballing success - making the most of what you have.

Switzerland seeding just reward for years of grass-roots transformation and immigration

You think you've got lawn challenges.

Do you have a nearly thousand-pound equine mascot galloping across your turf to stop on a dime? A couple dozen boot-wearing dancers spinning and kicking on it? Cleat-wearing, millions-earning athletes twisting, charging and crashing on it?

Ross Kurcab has all of that. And multiple millions of spectators ogling it, in person or on TV.

The Denver Broncos turf manager and his team of 13 grass gurus are responsible for making sure this field of dreams is up to scratch. If he does his job right, he's certain some sportscaster, somewhere, will say, "The field looks great today!"

Which makes him inwardly groan, just a tiny bit.

"It's not for looking at," he said. "The question is, how's it gonna play?"

The play's the thing

Homeowner, cut yourself some slack. The high-profile swath of emerald at Sports Authority Field at Mile High is not like your lawn. Repeat: Not anything like it.

Recall, if you will, the dun- brown field at Lambeau last weekend in Green Bay in which the 49ers squashed the Packers.

That grass wasn't dead. It was "fully dormant," said Kurcab. That means the plants had basically hibernated for a time, waiting for warmer temperatures (something above zero, perhaps) and longer days to send up new green shoots.

Culph also into semis, but junior hopefuls all out

Alburys Brandon Vescio has received a free pass into the semi-finals of the Victorian Grasscourt Championships after his opponent Matthew Hicks was forced to withdraw from the match due to injury.

Vescio was leading in the third set, with the score at 1-6 7-5 2-1, when Hicks decided it was best he quit the match before doing himself any further injury.

Its pretty disappointing, Hicks said.

At one point I just landed on my knee really badly and I knew straight away that was it.

I wanted to play on because when it happened I was already up in the second set.

I thought maybe if I could just keep holding serve Id be all right, but after Brandon broke me I couldnt do anything off my left knee.

After six matches in three days, it begins to tally up.

Whats really annoying is that I first hurt it here last year, so Im starting to think this competition is a bad omen for me, Hicks said wryly.

VICTORIAN GRASSCOURT CHAMPIONSHIPS: Injury gives Brandon free pass

A major repair job has seen Gisborne's main water pipe reconnected four days after it first broke, but it needs to be stabilised before it will be ready to carry water again, the council says.

The pipeline from the North Island east coast city's Mangopoike Dams broke early on Tuesday morning, and a major repair job has been underway since, involving staff and contractors working around the clock, Gisborne District Council deputy chief executive Peter Higgs said.

The broken pipe was buried by six metres of material and had to be dug out.

Large quantities of dirt and vegetation were removed to unearth the pipe, extensive work completed to stabilise the site and gazebos were erected so that pipe welding could continue in the rain.

The broken pipe has now been joined but is not ready for water yet, Higgs said.

"The area where the pipe broke is steep and has never been particularly stable due to extensive bush felling prior to 1940.

"The area is regenerating. Trees were planted to increase stability but the risk of slips will always be an issue."

Piles being entrenched into the steep slope will be used to support the pipe where the break occurred, Higgs said.

"Only then will we start testing the repairs by allowing a small amount of water to be gravity fed down through the pipe. This is likely to happen early next week."

The water saving efforts of the Gisborne public had been inspirational and water rationing was looking less likely, he said.

Gisborne water pipe repaired

A huge effort by Gisborne District Council staff and contractors Fulton Hogan has seen Gisbornes main water pipe reconnected four days after it first broke. The pipeline bringing high quality water down from Mangopoike Dams to the Waingake Treatment Plant broke early on Tuesday morning. Since then a major repair job has been underway. The broken pipe was buried by six metres of material and had to be dug out. Large quantities of dirt and vegetation have been removed to unearth the pipe, extensive work completed to stabilise the site and gazebos have even been erected so that pipe welding could continue in the rain.

The broken pipe has now been joined but we are not out of the woods yet, says deputy chief executive Peter Higgs. "The pipe is not ready for water at the moment. The area where the pipe broke is steep and has never been particularly stable due to extensive bush felling prior to 1940. The area is regenerating. Trees were planted to increase stability but the risk of slips will always be an issue. Piles are now being entrenched into the steep slope. They will be used to support the pipe where the break occurred."

"Only then will we start testing the repairs by allowing a small amount of water to be gravity fed down through the pipe. This is likely to happen early next week. We will continue testing the repaired pipe for the next ten days starting with a flow of 200m3 per hour and building to full capacity (1000m3 per hour)."

"Considering the scale of the repair and the dedication of staff and contractors working 24/7 we are happy with the speed with which this crisis is being resolved. It is just in time; with food processing starting full production next week, we will need all the water we can get."

Gisborne people again made a huge effort saving water. Daily consumption to 8am today (Saturday 11 January) was 12,302m3; well under the saving target despite no rain yesterday.

We are very grateful for the magnificent water saving efforts of the Gisborne public, added Mr Higgs. With water consumption down by a third again yesterday, storage in the city reservoirs has increased. This means that water rationing is looking less likely and that there will be no disruption to the districts major food processors."

"Peoples water saving efforts have been inspirational. We have had examples of businesses volunteering to stop services that use a lot of water, many people contacting us with water saving tips, neighbours working together to ensure all in their area know about the water situation and dont use their hose. We will be meeting with the major industrial water users next week to thank them for their efforts and discuss how we can work together to meet our water usage targets."

Water usage figures are likely to jump next week as food processors increase production.

Gisborne people and businesses need to be careful with water for the next 10 days and the hose ban will continue until the end of summer.

About 80% of the city water supply is currently being supplied from the Waipaoa River and treated through the Waipaoa Treatment plant. This water is described as 'hard water' with higher levels of calcium and magnesium than the soft water normally supplied from Mangapoike Dams. http://www.gdc.govt.nz/drinking-water-hard-or-soft/
