LIVE: Switzerland Hopeful of Landing World Cup Knockout Berth vs. Costa Rica

Costa Rica may not be able to replicate its World Cup magic of four years ago, but it can at least try to play spoiler.

Los Ticos, already eliminated after a pair of tight losses, take on Switzerland in their Group E finale on Wednesday, with the Swiss seeking a place in the knockout stage. Switzerland is level on four points with first-place Brazil, but a Serbia win over the Seleção, or even potentially a draw, combined with a Switzerland loss would see Granit Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri & Co. miss out on the last 16.

Switzerland is riding the high of its come-from-behind win over Serbia and will look to carry that momentum into Wednesday's group finale knowing that a win will seal the deal and a place in the knockout stage.
