Ahead of their matchup with England, head coach Murat Yakin has promised that side \u2018will cause England problems.\u2019<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cEngland have a lot of quality. We don\u2019t know what they plan to do but we have shown already that we can mix it against big teams \u2013 against the defending champions [Italy] and the hosts [Germany]. We will cause England problems,\u201d said Yakin to reporters in the post game press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Switzerland were in Group A and their impressive outing saw them finish with seven points and finish second on goal difference. The side then went on to dominate Italy in their first knockout game with a 2-0 victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI assume that England has enough quality to play well in a quarter-final but we are in good shape and have shown that we are ready to upset big teams. Why not give big England a problem and play our game and see what happens?,\u201d added the Swiss head coach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Switzerland will be playing their fifth ever major tournament quarter-final. They have been eliminated at this stage in all four of their previous attempts, this is the most any European nation has featured in quarter-finals of major tournaments without ever participating in a semi-final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
