Switzerland topped Group B with 7 points — clean defensive structure, Granit Xhaka marshaling midfield. They always punch above their weight. Qualified comfortably from a group with Canada, Qatar, and Bosnia.

Algeria's 3-3 draw with Austria in Group L's finale sent both teams through. Algeria beat Jordan, drew Austria. Qualified as one of the 8 best third-place teams. NYC's large North African community — Bay Ridge, parts of the Bronx — will be staying up late.
