Argentina’s thrilling World Cup title defense continues where it all started at the Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday night, as the holders face Switzerland in Kansas City, USA.
While the Swiss is preparing for its first World Cup quarterfinal since it hosted the tournament in 1954, Argentina maintains hope of becoming the first team to retain its crown since Brazil in 1962.
La Albiceleste has made hard work of it after breezing through the group stage. Buoyed by Lionel Messi’s continued greatness, it found a way to hold off Cabo Verde after extra time in the round of 32 before finding something deep within to stage a remarkable recovery against Egypt.
Argentina was 2–0 down and toiling heading into the match’s final act, but a couple of Messi contributions helped Lionel Scaloni’s champions tilt the tie in an instant. Enzo Fernández‘s header completed a thrilling comeback, and Switzerland’s penalty shootout triumph in Vancouver means the holders has avoided a quarterfinal clash with Colombia.
A duel with the Swiss is much more appealing, although Murat Yakin’s side cannot be underestimated. It’s battle-hardened and, as a profligate Colombia found out, a tough team to beat.
