Argentina and Switzerland will face off after two nail-biting matches for both teams.

At a Glance: How to Watch Argentina vs. Switzerland

Date, Time: July 11 at 9 p.m. ET

Channel: Fox, Telemundo (Spanish)

Streaming: DirecTV, Fubo, Fox One, Peacock

Lionel Messi, improbably, has already outpaced his 2022 World Cup performance, which, at the time, was expected to be his last. Messi has scored eight goals thus far this tournament, surpassing his total of seven in Qatar (although it’s worth noting that the round of 32 was introduced this year, giving Messi more opportunities to score).

Switzerland’s best scorer this tournament has been Johan Manzambi, who has notched three goals thus far. Switzerland won’t be able to count on Manzambi against Argentina, given a knee injury. That means Switzerland will need to rely even more heavily on its defense, which has been its strong suit thus far — they didn’t lose any games in the group stage, and have only conceded a total of three goals.
