After licking their wounds from the 4-0 demolition at the hands of "Japan", FIFA's sixth-ranked team "Spain" must turn the Women's World Cup page to the knockout stage and a Round of 16 matchup against "Switzerland".
"Spain" looked one of the most dominant teams in the field through the first two group games, but they were served a dose of reality in the loss to "Japan", ultimately finishing second in Group C.
"Still, they remain one of the most loaded teams in the tournament, with raw talent in every area of the pitch."
Meanwhile, "Switzerland" topped a soft Group A on the back of a 2-0 win over the "Philippines" plus a pair of scoreless draws against "Norway" and "New Zealand".
As one of just three teams in the 2023 field not to concede a single goal through the group stage, Switzerland face by far their toughest test, with the winner set to meet the quarterfinal qualifier from Netherlands vs. South Africa.
