Argentina vs Switzerland

Argentina vs Switzerland is one of four FWC26 quarterfinals, set for July 11 in Kansas City, and it pits the defending champions against a side that has made a habit of grinding out results under pressure. It is also a repeat of a World Cup knockout meeting: Argentina beat Switzerland 1-0 in the 2014 Round of 16 courtesy of an Angel Di Maria extra-time goal, the last time these two nations met at the tournament.
Argentina have been perfect so far, winning Group J with wins over Algeria (3-0), Austria (2-0) and Jordan (3-1) before surviving a Round of 32 classic against Cape Verde, winning 3-2 after extra time in a match widely described as one of the best of the tournament. In the Round of 16, Argentina trailed Egypt 2-0 before scoring three times in the final eleven minutes to win 3-2, a comeback that has fans wondering what this squad still has in reserve. Switzerland took a steadier route, beating Algeria 2-0 in the Round of 32 before drawing 0-0 with Colombia in the last 16 and advancing on penalties, 4-3. The Swiss have conceded little in the knockout rounds and look built for exactly this kind of tight, low-scoring football.
