What is each team's World Cup story?

Switzerland

Switzerland are at their 13th World Cup and among the most reliable qualifiers in Europe, but their three quarter-finals all came in the 1930s and 1950s. Every recent trip has ended in the knockout rounds, often agonizingly, which is why a place in the last eight would feel like breaking a spell.

Colombia

Colombia are at their seventh World Cup, and their run to the 2014 quarter-finals remains the country's high point. This side won its group without losing, and one more win would put that golden 2014 memory within touching distance again. See the full squads and fixtures on the Switzerland and Colombia team pages.

The versus wheel pits any two of the 48 teams against each other.
