A tall order for Ricardo Rodriguez and co. They have Brazil to answer to in their day one encounter. Will they come up with the answers? Only time will tell.

Will Switzerland entertain Group E in dramatic style as they did to reach to the World Cup Finals? Or can they click together, use their strong side to good effect, and qualify for the Round of 16?
