With a mission to make history, as the semi-finals have never been reached before, Switzerland will play tonight at 03:00 in the morning against world champion Argentina.
The 'Helvets' know that they have a favorite national team in front of them, but they are very hopeful of Xhaka and his teammates. The captain of Albanian origin, before the duel in Kansas City, stated that 'the hunger of the national team has increased and we are participating in this match only to qualify.
Coach Murat Yakin continues to be concerned about Johan Manzambi, the midfielder who is standing out in this World Cup. He missed the match against Colombia, and is likely to miss tonight's match against Argentina. Yakin hopes to have him in the squad, although he stated in a press conference that 'it is not advisable by doctors'.
The duel will also be delicate for Argentina. The world champions, despite having an easy journey on paper, have suffered greatly both in the 1/16 against Cape Verde and against Egypt in the 1/8. On the eve of the match, coach Lionel Scaloni responded to accusations of favoritism towards Argentina in the World Cup, saying that 'people don't want us to win' and that 'this motivates us more'.
For Argentina, the match against Switzerland is their first against a team ranked in the top 20 of FIFA. The winner of this match will face the winner of Norway-England in the World Cup semi-finals.
