Argentina survived Egypt
Argentina came close to being eliminated in the round of 16. Egypt even took a two-goal lead, but the reigning champions reacted and ended up winning 3-2.
Lionel Messi participated in the comeback and reappeared when the match had become complicated. Scaloni has acknowledged that his team struggled in the previous two knockout rounds, although he defends the group's ability to compete in adverse scenarios.
Switzerland trusts its defense
Switzerland eliminated Colombia on penalties after a match that ended 0-0. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel was decisive in the shootout.
Murat Yakin's team is playing its first quarter-final since 1954. The Swiss players have acknowledged the difficulty of stopping Messi, but maintain that Argentina also leaves spaces that they can exploit.
Possible Argentina lineup
Scaloni has not ruled out keeping the same squad used against Egypt. The main doubt concerns Messi's partner and the physical condition of some defenders.
Argentina: Emiliano Martínez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martínez, Nicolás Tagliafico; Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister; Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martínez.
Cristian Romero has been carrying discomfort, while Julián Álvarez arrived at the previous qualifier conditioned by an ankle problem.
When will the official lineups be known?
FIFA will publish the starting elevens approximately one hour before the start of the match.
Until then, any lineup must be considered provisional. Switzerland is awaiting the physical evolution of the young Johan Manzambi, whose availability was not assured in the latest prior information.
The winner completes the semifinals
The winner of Argentina-Switzerland will play against Norway or England on Wednesday, July 15 in Atlanta.
That match will complete the semifinal bracket, whose other qualifier will pit Spain against France.
