reports On the politics of Donald Trump, or Switzerland at the floorball world Championships: Peter Düggeli take care of, what’s more Fun? report
On Trump, much, much, much more intense. But you get nowhere else such emotions, as you can you the Sport. This Moment, as we got in 2008 in Prague, Bronze: you can’t compare it with politics, and Trump. Even if it is in the case bonus veren siteler of Trump, sometimes, also emotional to and fro. (laughs)

How would you describe the Americans floorball?
The Americans create, imagine. You know “field hockey” or “indoor hockey”. Then you can explain to them that the sticks are different and the Ball has holes in it. My wife plays once a week floorball with migrant women and men from Scandinavia and the Czech Republic.
you mentioned the last world Cup in Prague. What are your memories of the tournament?
We had lost the semi-final against Sweden 2:3 after extra time. At the team meeting in the evening some players stood up and appealed strongly to get up again to get the next day Bronze. That impressed me very much. It is probably the most emotional game I’ve experienced as a coach.
Switzerland won ahead of 14’000 spectators against the Czech Republic 5:4 after extra time.
14’000 Czechs in the hall! So, you thought in the first Moment: This cauldron will make us emotionally ready. But we have seen the scenery as a Highlight. It has made us stronger. The winning Goal by Simon Stucki, I look at from time to time on Youtube. Awesome!
“This is the Moment, as we got in Prague, and Bronze: you can’t compare it with politics, and Trump.”
you were one of three title fight to the coaching staff. Each Time the semi-final Terminus. The Failure of that runs through the story.
In mental respect, the main task was in front of the semi-final always, all the Nagging, to destroy all the tedious memories. And also to ensure that certain Fears arise during the game, we should fall into the residue. We have done well – it has served never. (laughs)
Once again, record-breaking world champion Sweden in the semi-final the opponent. The current Swiss selection is made up of many young, researching players. Is that an advantage?
In any case. We need intrepid, unbiased players that we have now, apparently. . A lot of perform, but in the decisive Moment of mental break: The Swiss happen to us too often, even in sports. In the USA, a different culture prevails. The consistent, uncompromising focus on the tip, with extended elbow, this attitude is socially accepted and not rejected as in Switzerland. Who will prevail in this individualized society and the capitalist System that needs to be not only very good, but to remain steadfast in faith. This American self-confidence, I wish the Swiss in the semi – final and on Sunday in the Final!
you left the floorball in 2010, resigned as coach in Chur, and watch the Job as business editor. Have you ever regretted the departure never?
I had to leave Chur quasi-head over heels, had coached the season to the end. The Team was great. But with 40 years for the television to go – this way the least. The Chance I had to pack.
And now you are for the past three years, SRF correspondent in Washington.
Oh, my life motto is: I don’t know the destination, but along the way I got the Gas. It is often a matter of luck, of chance. Now I’m in Washington. I love my Job and join a very happy, once again, a presidential election campaign.
What is more likely: An “Impeachment” impeachment of President Trump? Or Gold at the world Championships in floorball for Switzerland?
So with “Impeachment,” you mean that he is really sold, not that he withdraws from before, and not that it just a chamber “impeacht”, but both of the chambers, so that he is really gone? In this case, …
… you seem to be the Switzerland is not a Gold trust …
… (laughs) But, world Cup Gold! It is high time.
Trump delivers a lot of stories. You as a correspondent would regret an impeachment.
The USA are also Trump is very interesting without the President, his Tweets, his policy. A great country, incredibly diverse, contradictory and torn thereat, such as the way the future should look like. It makes my work so exciting.
