Switzerland's confidence is soaring after nearly defeating hosts Germany and eliminating Italy in the last 16. Coach Murat Yakin believes his team can now overcome England. "We were able to compete with Germany and beat Italy, so why shouldn't we now have what it takes to beat England?" he asked earlier this week.
England, under Gareth Southgate, have reached the semi-final, final, and quarter-final in the last three major tournaments. This match marks Southgate's 100th game in charge. Despite a lackluster journey to the last eight, England have found ways to win and are looking to break free from their restraints.
