Comprehensive match preview of Switzerland vs Colombia at World Cup 2026. We talk tactics, team news and more ahead of this Round of 16 clash in Vancouver.

The real World Cup is finally under way! After a group phase almost completely devoid of jeopardy because of the tournament's farcical format, the first batch of knockout games treated us to some long overdue drama, with Germany and Netherlands among the big names to fall in the round of 32.
