The stakes
Round of 32, full time: Switzerland 2-0 Algeria. Single elimination — one side's run ends here.
The two sides
SwitzerlandThe team big nations dread drawing
The disciplined giant-killers who have knocked out France before — boring is a superpower, and they grind into knockouts tournament after tournament.
AlgeriaFlair-filled side back after 12 years
Back after 12 years with French-system attacking flair and a vast Maghreb-and-diaspora following — if Amoura rediscovers his qualifying form they can take points off anyone in this group.
