There is a particular kind of consistency that usually belongs to the game's giants, and Switzerland have quietly claimed it. The 2026 finals will be their fifth tournament in a row, the sort of run you expect from nations with deeper benches and louder reputations. Murat Yakin has kept faith with the experienced core that has carried this side, declining to tear things down. The spine tells the story: Granit Xhaka organising matters in midfield, Manuel Akanji of Manchester City steadying the back line, Breel Embolo carrying the attack. The Swiss reached the last 16 four times in this era and never went further, the same wall that stood even after they knocked out France at Euro 2020. In Group B, with Canada, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar, the real question is whether reliability can finally produce a quarter-final.
