Albania v Switzerland (14:00 BST)
The national anthems are respectfully observed, Switzerland up first and it's a harmonic effort, nicely sung and met by applause upon conclusion.
Albania's players, in red today, each sport serious faces and who can blame them? A huge flag showcasing an eagle is spread across one end of the stadium and some of their staff on the sidelines can be seen with closed eyes as the emotion takes over.
Though Switzerland will wear white today, this stadium is a sea of red.
