After a couple of appearances at the European Championship, the Scots finally played at the World Cup as well. However, after opening with a win over Haiti, they then suffered a goalless defeat to Morocco, 0-1, and lost 0-3 to Brazil, which was not enough to reach the playoffs. In the Nations League, they began their campaign with a goalless draw against Slovenia.
The Swiss once again featured at a major tournament. After surrendering a victory against Qatar, they went on to beat Bosnia and Herzegovina and Canada, as well as Algeria in the playoffs. They even eliminated Colombia on penalties after a 0-0 draw, only to lose to Argentina in the quarterfinals, 1-3 — although the decisive goals came in extra time. In the autumn, they began against North Macedonia and cruised to a 3-0 victory.
The British side currently average 1.5 goals scored per game, while conceding 1.2. Ndoye and his teammates average 1.8 goals scored and considerably fewer conceded — just 0.8.
