Both Switzerland and Colombia have the chance to match their best performance in a FIFA World Cup when they meet in the round of 16 in Vancouver, and you can stream the game live around the world for free.
Murat Yakin’s Swiss team cruised to a 2-0 victory over Algeria in the round of 32 to claim their first World Cup knockout victory in 88 years and are now on the cusp of their first quarter-final appearance since 1954. Led by inspirational captain Granit Xhaka, who won his 150th match against Algeria, Switzerland have a useful combination of experience and youth, with attacking midfielder Johan Manzambi emerging as one of the stars of the tournament. The 20-year-old scored three goals and provided two assists as part of a dangerous front four that also includes Dan Ndoye, Ruben Vargas and Breel Embolo.
Colombia will have no fear of Switzerland’s attacking quartet after three consecutive clean sheets, most recently in the 1-0 win over Ghana in the round of 32. Midfielder Jhon Arias scored the winning goal against the Black Stars, but coach Néstor Lorenzo will be equally pleased with Luis Suárez’s performance. The forward claimed assistance after replacing the injured Jhon Córdoba, who will miss the remainder of the tournament. Suarez is expected to get the nod from the start in Vancouver as Colombia aims to reach the quarter-finals for the second time.
