Final day of 'round of 16' at the world Cup

The final two matches of the “round of 16” are scheduled today. Argentina is chasing its third World Cup, but in order to continue, Messi&co must beat Switzerland. The final match of the round will bring face to face Belgium and USA.

 

Argentina qualified with a maximum of nine points out of the group stage and has probably the most impressive offensive line with Messi, Higuain, Aguero, Lavezzi and Palacio. Despite everybody talks about Messi, Swiss player know the danger can appear from many places. “He is exceptional, no question, but that is not all. He has very good players around him. With all due respect for his qualities and class, I think too much is talked about just Messi,” said Swiss striker, Admir Mehmedi.

 

Switzerland lost the previous six games against Argentina, but this squad really think it can detonate a huge surprise. “I'm not here as a tourist so I will not swap jerseys with Messi. Switzerland is in the second round of the World Cup,” Mehmedi added.

 

Belgium and USA will battle for the final spot in the quarter finals. Surprisingly, USA sent home Portugal, while Belgium won group H with nine points ahead of Algeria, Russia and South Korean. The match is scheduled at Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador. The winner of the match will take on Argentina or Switzerland in the next round.
