They've conceded in both games and played out a 3-2 thriller against Egypt after coming back from 2-0 down. Switzerland have the attacking quality to exploit Argentina's porous defense, with Breel Embolo, Dan Ndoye, and Rubén Vargas capable of causing damage. Messi can be relied upon to deliver at the other end, and this quarterfinal has the makings of an open, entertaining game.
