Switzerland face Colombia with a quarter-final on the line

Colombia on Tuesday, a quarter-final at stake

Your team faces Colombia in the World Cup Round of 16 on Tuesday night, with a quarter-final spot on the line (1) (2) (3). Switzerland topped Group B with seven points, beat Algeria 2–0 in the Round of 32, and Murat Yakin has the squad firing (2). The winner likely meets either Spain or Brazil. No bigger match this tournament.

Xhaka to Chelsea talk won't go away

Granit Xhaka is heavily linked with a summer move to Chelsea after the tournament (2). He is your captain, your metronome, and playing through the biggest games of his international career while the rumour mill churns. No player in the squad carries more weight heading into Tuesday.

Akanji sorted his future before a ball was kicked

Manuel Akanji completed a permanent switch to Inter Milan before arriving in North America (2). That is one less distraction. Clean slate, clear head, and he has been a rock at the back through the group stage and the Algeria win.
