The Ph ilippines and Switzerland kick off their World Cup in Group A in a crucial match with the Swiss needing three points if they're going to go through.
Philippines are making their World Cup debut after qualifying via making the semifinals of the AFC Asian Cup in 2022. In the lead up to this World Cup they tested themselves playing Costa Rica, Chile and New Zealand, but they failed to win any of those matches. They haven't played a match since May 9th, so this first match may be a little shaky trying to get the rust off.
Switzerland come into this World Cup in a state of flux. They had a poor showing at the Euros in 2022, albeit they were in a very difficult group with Sweden, the Netherlands and Portugal, and then they came in second in a World Cup Qualifying group with Italy and Croatia before beating a decent Welsh side to get to the World Cup. They are playing under a new manager after Nils Nielsen left to become the director of football and Manchester Cit y, so it's even more crucial for them to get their World Cup off on the right foot against an inferior opponent.'
