Kansas City: Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni said his side expected a stern test against Switzerland in Saturday's World Cup quarterfinal, describing Murat Yakin's team as physically strong and deserving of deep respect.

Switzerland reached the last eight by beating Colombia 4-3 on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes in Vancouver.

Argentina has already endured two tense knockout games, edging Cabo Verde 3-2 after extra time before coming from two goals down to beat Egypt by the same score.
