Remarkable achievement for Switzerland in an unremarkable game

Remarkable achievement for Switzerland in an unremarkable game

Published by Webster

Switzerland vs Colombia. Round of 16. Vancouver. 52,497 fans, of whom around 50,000 must have been clad in yellow. A nil-nil stalemate after 120 minutes. Switzerland prevailed 4-3 on penalties, reaching their first World Cup quarter-final since 1954. End of the road for Colombia. There is little to retrace from the match itself. So instead, context. Before the caravan rolled into Canada, the previous seven round of 16 matches had produced 21 goals, three a game. There was action at the Azteca, where England beat Mexico 3-2. A spectacle at Seattle, where Belgium put four past co-hosts USA, then did the Donald Trump YMCA shimmy. How can we not mention Cristiano Ronaldo’s agony at Arlington, or Erling Haaland’s euphoria at East Rutherford? The world, in fact, was yet to recover from the adrenaline of Atlanta, still debating every second of Argentina’s win over Egypt.
