Kuhn keen to break Euro duck

Switzerland coach Kobi Kuhn is desperate to go out on a high by beating Portugal in their final Group A game on Sunday.
The co-hosts can no longer qualify for the quarter-finals after losing to Czech Republic and Turkey, while Kuhn has announced the Portugal game will be his last in charge of his country.
"With a little bit more luck, the tournament could have been so much better, it's hard to bear," he admitted.
"But all our players will want to sign off with a good display for the crowd."
Switzerland have yet to win a game in the history of the European Championship, and Kuhn is desperate to break that duck, adding: "Even before we went out, I had already thought that it would be a great achievement to get the country's first win at a Euro.
"Why not on Sunday against a Portugal side who have already qualified?
"We have to look forward and give the Swiss supporters a high quality match."
