Quarter-finalist of the 2026 World Cup and finalist of the last two Euros, England will arrive across the Atlantic with very big ambitions for the next World Cup. This British selection is still chasing its first trophy since the 1966 World Cup, which is an anomaly for such an impressive team on paper. Thomas Tuchel's men had no trouble validating their ticket for this competition since they won all of their 8 matches during the qualifiers, scoring 22 goals without conceding a single one. Last fall, the Three Lions largely dominated Wales 3-0 in a friendly before winning their last 3 qualifying matches against Latvia 0-5, Serbia 2-0 and Albania 0-2. Uruguay, for its part, qualified for the next World Cup by securing 4th place in the single qualifying group for the COMNEBOL zone.

Federico Valverde's partners finished quite far behind Argentina but they were in contact with Ecuador and Colombia for a place on the podium. Since the end of this South American qualifying campaign, Celeste has played 4 friendly matches. After being able to dominate the Dominican Republic 1-0 and Uzbekistan 1-2, Uruguay was held to a draw by Mexico 0-0 and outclassed by the United States 5-1.

Switzerland’s friendly against Germany in Basel feels less like a casual run-out and more like a dress rehearsal for the World Cup. Murat Yakin’s side comes into this clash on the back of a strong qualifying campaign, where they went unbeaten and showed real control in both home and away fixtures. Recent results underline that resilience, from the gritty 1-1 away draw in Kosovo to convincing wins over familiar European opponents. With St. Jakob-Park hosting, the Swiss will want to test themselves against a traditional powerhouse while fine-tuning details rather than reinventing their identity.

In the last international window, Switzerland mixed pragmatism with attacking flair, especially in their home victory over Sweden, a match that finished 4-1 and showcased their ability to punish defensive lapses. That result followed a more cautious 0-0 away to Slovenia and another solid defensive display earlier in the autumn. Over the past two months, the focus around the Swiss camp has been on maintaining fitness—particularly with players like Djibril Sow and Becir Omeragic managing injury issues—while preserving the compact structure that has made them so difficult to break down.

The United States is automatically qualified for the World Cup by being one of the three organizing countries of the competition. Since the Gold Cup final lost against Mexico, the USA has played no less than 6 friendly matches for a fairly comfortable record of 4 victories against Japan 2-0, Australia 2-1, Paraguay 2-1 and Uruguay 5-1. Now led by Rudi Garcia, Belgium is a hit and easily qualified for a new World Cup by finishing 1st in its qualifying group ahead of Wales, against whom it won its two matches 4-3 and 2-4.

In total, the Red Devils won 5 of their 8 matches during the playoffs.
