Analysis
Switzerland controlled Group B with tactical discipline and clinical finishing. Two wins and a draw sent them through as group winners. Canada continues to prove 2022 was no fluke - their second straight knockout stage appearance cements their status as a rising soccer nation. Bosnia pushed hard but fell short on goal difference. Qatar, the Asian champions, had a tournament to forget with just one point from three matches.
