Switzerland
Who They Beat To Get Here: Ecuador, Honduras
Top Goalscorer: Shaqiri
Likelihood Of Advancing: Moderate
Most of the Switzerland squad play their weekly football in either Germany or Italy, meaning a high level was expected from Hitzfeld, even with a large amount of young players from top to bottom. To put it into perspective, none of the Swizz forwards are above the age of 24. The standout player has easily been Shaqiri, with the Bayern Munich player securing a hat-trick in their final group game against Honduras. An early win against Ecuador made sure that they were making it through, despite an unsurprising loss in an exciting 5-2 game with France.
Switzerland face Argentina on Tuesday.
