Philippines and Switzerland kick off their World Cup campaign when they face off in the first round this coming Friday at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
We are entering the first round of the World Cup group stage with the Philippines and Switzerland hoping this is only the first of many matches coming up.
The Philippines enter their first Group A match at the World Cup as huge outsiders at Forsyth Barr Stadium. It is exceedingly tough to come up with an argument on their behalf, as a defeat looks unavoidable against this opponent. Switzerland are expected to have little trouble getting off to a good start to their World Cup campaign. Surely, they make sure their first opponent is left empty-handed at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
