Style & formation:Switzerland play a neat passing game and press the opposition. They display far more urgency and attacking intent than the Swiss side criticised for defensive tactics at the last World Cup. Strengths: Bayern Munich's Shaqiri is one of the most highly-regarded young players in Europe and he is among seven members of Switzerland's s...
Kosovo-born Xherdan Shaqiri, 22, is still part of the supporting cast at Bayern Munich but he takes a lead role for Switzerland as their key creative force. An instinctive player, the stocky left-footed livewire starts wide on the right but regularly roams infield. Three hamstring tears this season are a concern.
Josip Drmic could be the answer to Switzerland's prayers for a top striker. A stellar 2013-14 season included two goals in the March friendly against his parents' native Croatia and 17 goals for Nurnberg, earning him a move to Bayer Leverkusen.
Ottmar Hitzfeldwill retire after the World Cup, six years after taking charge.

His 19 major club trophies include two Champions League titles.

Ecuador's World Cup plan hinges on wingers and a prayer. They shift the ball out quickly to the flanks, where captain Antonio Valencia offers pace and power down the right and Jefferson Montero is full of daring and dribbles on the left. The full-backs join in as auxiliary wingers, a position they often play for their clubs. The tactic can be effec...
