It should be a close game this. Italy are well organised but haven't kept a clean sheet and not of the midfielders or attackers have had a stand put tournament. Switzerland on the other hand lack the star power on paper but are well organised and have been playing above perceived ability levels.

If there's an 'upset' it's probably here.

Switzerland should go into this confident but just like against Croatia, you just can't bet against the Italians. They seem to pull it out of the bag so often.

If you gave me a choice between the two for England, it would be Switzerland every time. We need to up our game massively but I'd still have serious doubts if we played Italy. 

Fingers crossed Switzerland win.

Deserved lead by Switzerland. Midfielders dominating and one of the late runs from Freuler pays off. Totally untracked.

Switzerland make the quarter-finals and Italy are knocked out!

It was a well deserved win for Switzerland and they will be a tough match for any side they meet at these Euros.

Switzerland 2-0 Italy

Italy looked like a Championship team but credit to Switzerland they looked very impressive. We would have to improve significantly to get past them if they play like that again.

Unbelievable how poor Italy looked. They don't have the talent of previous sides, but they have a team with at least decent players in every position, mostly pretty good players, and even one or two great players.

It is hard to understand how they can just be thrown about like that and offer almost no competition.
