Beat Switzerland and face England or Colombia, with Croatia or Russia Switzerland made headlines in Russia for the controversial celebrations of its players, but the team is about to match his best World Cup performance.

If Vladimir Petkovic beat Sweden in St. Petersburg on Tuesday, they will become the first Swiss team in 64 years to qualify for the quarter-finals of the biggest football tournament.
