and Argentina will face in the anticipated game Tuesday in the second round of
World Cup FIFA Brazil 2014.
Match Schedule
Argentina vs. Switzerland
1 July, Tuesday at Arena Corinthians, Sao Paulo
2014 FIFA World Cup
The winner
of this match will play the winner of the key between Belgium and the United
States. Both teams have strong templates and are recognized, but here are five
things you should know before you perform this match:
Argentina
has a number of European rivalries, but Switzerland is not one of them.
The only
time these two teams faced off was in the 1966 World Cup in England. Both teams
have been drawn in Group 2 with Germany and Spain. Although the game was played
European territory, Argentina was victorious with a score of 2-0.
Switzerland
has a long history in the World Cup, but it was not long since exceeded the
knockout round. Sixty years to be exact. The last time Switzerland quarterfinal
was played in 1954, when it hosted the World Cup. Brazil is far from
Switzerland, but this team has been playing great lately.
Argentina is
one of the best national teams of all time and it's no surprise that they have
the best players ever. Messi has four goals in this World Cup and is climbing
to get the most goals in a World Cup by an Argentine. Four goals in three World
Cups help much.
Argentina's
midfield is very good, especially Javier Mascherano. With a great midfield and
defense, you can control and pass the ball under pressure throughout the match.
Argentina leads the World Cup if we talk about possession with 65 percent of
possession time against their rivals.
Argentina
won Group F with a perfect record of three wins, but it was closed. In those three
wins, Argentina won by a goal difference.
