Without doubt, Argentina have made eye-catching progress in North America, starting with the three straight Group J wins ,inspired by six Lionel Messi goals and an all-time World Cup top scorer record (21 goals and counting) for the mesmeric talisman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Messi has mustered two more in the knockout phase \u2013 including the crucial Round of 16 equaliser against Egypt, but it also took the collective will and sheer determination of Lionel Scaloni\u2019s defending champions to get over the line against both Egypt and Cabo Verde. Indeed, Argentina required an own-goal extra-time winner to finally subdue the debutants in the Round of 32. Another gruelling 3-2 epic followed against the North Africans as the champions hit three late goals to somehow deny Egypt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Switzerland side who have quietly achieved their stated goal of putting together a best-ever World Cup campaign. Not only have Murat Yakin\u2019s men booked the first quarter-final since 1954, but they travel to the Midwest having claimed back-to-back knockout victories for the first time ever in a global showpiece.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Alpine side were clinical in dispatching Algeria 2-0 in the Round of 32 before making light of the absence of breakout star Johan Manzambi to outlast Colombia on penalties after a last-16 stalemate. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
